    'THE VISION'
    So this guy comes up to me and says "what's the vision? What's the big idea?" I open my mouth and words come out like this…


    The vision?






    The vision is JESUS – obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus.
    The vision is an army of young people.
    You see bones? I see an army. And they are FREE from materialism.

    They laugh at 9-5 little prisons.


    They could eat caviar on Monday and crusts on Tuesday.
    They wouldn't even notice.
    They know the meaning of the Matrix, the way the west was won.
    They are mobile like the wind, they belong to the nations. They need no passport.. People write their addresses in pencil and wonder at their strange existence.
    They are free yet they are slaves of the hurting and dirty and dying.
    What is the vision ?
    The vision is holiness that hurts the eyes. It makes children laugh and adults angry. It gave up the game of minimum integrity long ago to reach for the stars. It scorns the good and strains for the best. It is dangerously pure.





    Light flickers from every secret motive, every private conversation.


    It loves people away from their suicide leaps, their Satan games.
    This is an army that will lay down its life for the cause.
    A million times a day its soldiers
    choose to loose


    that they might one day win
    the great 'Well done' of faithful sons and daughters.





    Such heroes are as radical on Monday morning as Sunday night. They don't need fame from names. Instead they grin quietly upwards and hear the crowds chanting again and again: "COME ON!"

    And this is the sound of the underground


    The whisper of history in the making
    Foundations shaking
    Revolutionaries dreaming once again
    Mystery is scheming in whispers
    Conspiracy is breathing…
    This is the sound of the underground





    And the army is discipl(in)ed.
    Young people who beat their bodies into submission.

    Every soldier would take a bullet for his comrade at arms.


    The tattoo on their back boasts "for me to live is Christ and to die is gain".





    Sacrifice fuels the fire of victory in their upward eyes. Winners. Martyrs. Who can stop them ?


    Can hormones hold them back?
    Can failure succeed? Can fear scare them or death kill them ?





    And the generation prays

    like a dying man


    with groans beyond talking,
    with warrior cries, sulphuric tears and
    with great barrow loads of laughter!
    Waiting. Watching: 24 – 7 – 365.





    Whatever it takes they will give: Breaking the rules. Shaking mediocrity from its cosy little hide. Laying down their rights and their precious little wrongs, laughing at labels, fasting essentials. The advertisers cannot mould them. Hollywood cannot hold them. Peer-pressure is powerless to shake their resolve at late night parties before the cockerel cries.
    They are incredibly cool, dangerously attractive inside.

    On the outside? They hardly care. They wear clothes like costumes to communicate and celebrate but never to hide.


    Would they surrender their image or their popularity?
    They would lay down their very lives - swap seats with the man on death row - guilty as hell. A throne for an electric chair.





    With blood and sweat and many tears, with sleepless nights and fruitless days, they pray as if it all depends on God and live as if it all depends on them.

    Their DNA chooses JESUS. (He breathes out, they breathe in.)


    Their subconscious sings. They had a blood transfusion with Jesus.
    Their words make demons scream in shopping centres.
    Don't you hear them coming?
    Herald the weirdo's! Summon the losers and the freaks. Here come the frightened and forgotten with fire in their eyes. They walk tall and trees applaud, skyscrapers bow, mountains are dwarfed by these children of another dimension. Their prayers summon the hounds of heaven and invoke the ancient dream of Eden.





    And this vision will be. It will come to pass; it will come easily; it will come soon.


    How do I know? Because this is the longing of creation itself, the groaning of the Spirit, the very dream of God. My tomorrow is his today. My distant hope is his 3D. And my feeble, whispered, faithless prayer invokes a thunderous, resounding, bone-shaking great 'Amen!' from countless angels, from hero's of the faith, from Christ himself. And he is the original dreamer, the ultimate winner.
    Guaranteed.

    i can appreciate all of what you're saying, and would like to come across the info you have; i've got a couple documents about transcendance, and the approaching time of global evolution that - all going well - is certain to take place.


    are you aware of something called an indigo child? and of the whole 2012 thing? its just what you so eloquently described is reminiscent of those, and a bunch of other things that i'm interested in.

    ah, and are you aware that christ, or krishna consciousness is hoping to re-establish itself as the prominent thought-wave on the planet. this is coming from an interested but not that well read, experiencer of some very strange mental phenonemon regarding the topics outlined...

    be good to hear from you

    Spirituality shouldn't be war. That's a poor mentality

    Fighting a thing only gives it power, because you must recognize it to fight it.

    Instead, it would be better to practice self awareness and good intention. Trying to stop badness will not work, so just spread goodness. Karma will take care of the rest (what goes around comes around, and smiles spread like fire). Lead by example, and try to fight the evil when you see it. Treat it like you would anything else, with compassion.
