The Calling, The Choosing, The Chosen, "Saints"

[Gale]

The Calling is a deep-seated knowing within oneself that they are different, that there is meaning to all this chaos, that they feel protected somehow. There is a boldness about them yet humble. They are searching for something but don’t know what.

A lot of them have all familiar stories, no father figure in the household, a stepfather etc. They all are being tested, passing or not passing a test is not the significance, it is what they have learnt from the test.

I personally failed a lot of my tests, except a main one of not turning on my Father/Creator and blaming Him for my troubles.
It is so true, “The path is the same, just the scenery changes” for the Called Ones.

For myself, I found that just a couple important words caught my attention and I had to know more, those words were, Calling, Gathering and Kingdom. It was if those words were pre-programmed into my subconscious.

What is your thoughts on this?

[Heretic]

I totally believe in this calling. If I were to call myself called then I would say it started when I was 14. Since then I have met many other people who have been called too and have seen people walking the "path". Ordinary looking people from all walks of life who inside are very extraordinary and are wary of sharing it with others for fear of condemnation.

Sometimes I wonder if only some are called, or if everybody is but only some can hear it. My thoughts on this go alot deeper but it ties into alot of conspiratorial elements so I would not be able to say for sure if I am correct on any of it. Heck some of my ideas conflict. I mainly just have questions.

[Gale]

Heretic, here is some light reading for you.
TheCalling (http://earthsbanner.com/TheCalling.html)

[Heretic]

Well it doesn't seem a job I would want, but would also not want this job to be carried out by someone who I feel would be less qualified than myself. I would be a reluctant judge but probably a good one. Sounds arrogant and narcissistic perhaps but I am one of the fairest people I know, and I relish the day to judge myself in the full knowledge of the heavens. I am ready to walk through the fire, and have been waiting, sometimes not very patiently.

I knew these things before I read your assessment of the calling. I have read the Document concerning these things and have my own insights on how judgment is carried out. In fact I have many understandings I cannot explain which has led me to conclusions of my "specialness" and perhaps delusions of grandeur. I often regard myself as simply insane, and find a strange comfort in that, because it affords me the reality that I dont have to try to be normal. Whether or not that has something to do with this calling I dont know.

But I am definitely called to something, perhaps this is it I dont know, and something inside tells me to not worry about it, and that in due time things will become crystal clear. I used to fret over who I am and what is happening to me, why I see the things I see, that others dont see. I feel the quickening an used to scurry over being ready, actually preparing for something that had no name or shape, nor any clarity on how to be ready. Self doubt has been a huge part of my life because of it.

Is this my destiny? I dunno. I cant let it matter right now, it makes me too restless to live in the mundane world without discomfort and anxiety. But I think about where I will be during the great days coming, I know I am here to witness it, catalog it, to understand it. To collect data concerning these events occurring right now. It is important to me, an obsession. What the future holds I cannot say, but I do know that whether I die or not will make no difference to me or the reason I am here. Whether or not that plays into the calling I have no clue.

PS - I had a really hard time hitting the submit button on this one. Oh look at me I am so special....I nauseate myself sometimes. This is one of them. But I told the truth as I see it, let the chips lay where they fall. Please be patient with me and my arrogance and narcissistic musings.

Many are called.
And I think he was scraping the bottom of the barrel when he called me. :)

Norval don't cut yourself short.. you've been dealing with a lot of crap trying to share the info that you have..there are a lot of people that appreciate it and i'm one of them:bananen_smilies046:

[Norval]

Not to worry, it is another "mark" of the called ones, the feeling of "not being worthy of the
calling". As long as a called one continues to walk the path, face the trials and testing of their
honor and integrity of heart, they will one day arrive at a point such as this. When one starts to
learn of the WHY they were being tested in the first place, then the reason for the testing begins to
make sense.

Not everyone is called to this path, but many are.
Of those that get the calling, and many do, few shall be chosen.

It is our hearts that will either commend us, or condemn us, we actually judge ourselves.

The codes, all in the galaxies have agreed to live by, are in the document for all to read.
Now that code of conduct is being offered to all that live on the earth, my advice, don't turn it down.
In the end this code of conduct will be forced upon those that even deny it's very existence.
Yes, there is governance, codes, rules and regulations, all in the Document, we call the bible.

[sfth13]

it's funny you say that Norval. I don't think I'm worthy either and i've only started to reserach this stuff 6 months ago... but I have a strange effect on infants. lol sounds wierd but most newborns seemed drawn to to me... they point and smile and laugh like they are saying oh boy are you in trouble..I have never noticed this until last year when a friends wife brought it to my attention. kinda make me nervous. but I have the same affect on peoples pets..people are amazed that their birds, dog or cats that don't like people all warm up to me. so I read as much as I can and research and hope for the best.

[Gale]

I would speculate the Called Ones have something different in the colouring of their aura. Like noticing someone looking above your head or at your forehead, I wonder if they see auras, if they are looking at the aura and there is something different with the aura because some individuals have a different visual spectrum range.

Wild animals too, sfth13, not just domestic ones.

[Heretic]

well there is one of my "lacks"

I cannot see auras, I have tried from way back, read some books etc

but like the UFO, I have never seen them

maybe it will just come in its own time

[Gale]

I have never seen auras either.

[sfth13]

I have had some strange encounter with like squirrels and wild rabbit in my yard..I had a rabbit that use to watch me bring my telescope outside. and on moonlit nights I could see it hopping around eating. he wasn't afraid of me, I couldn't get close enough to pet it, but he would stay just out of reach.. after a month or so he stopped coming around..

[Heretic]

I also have a close relationship with animals. I also have a story on it, but it is way too long for this thread and would hijack it.

I have an long explanatory email I sent to someone who was asking me about it from a prior discussion, I think I will post it.

I will try and get some good pictures this morning of them, as seeing two to three hundred crows in a small area very close to you is rather majestic

Just posted it if anyone is interested My Animal Friends (http://earthsbanner.com/forums/showthread.php?p=527&posted=1#post527)

[sfth13]

what I find mind blowing is that after something like this is brought to your attention you seem to notice it more.. i'm sure it has always happend but I just never noticed for what ever reason.. but I do find it sort of gives me a relaxed comfort feeling like being at one with nature...I've always been drawn to the outdoors..day or night.

Have you considered that your, Mother Earth, is speaking to you?

What you call the Document, I have read several times, and some sections even more.
I have always come away with more questions, than answers.

I do, however consider it a means of control.
A reason to do, and not think.

While there are excellent guidelines for living in it's pages.

There are also spiteful, hate filled, and oppressive demands,
that you must cow to, or be killed and tortured for eternity.

Not a pleasant picture, for one that is given free will,
and then faces persecution if you make a choice,
and it is not the recommended one.


It is our hearts that will either commend us, or condemn us, we actually judge ourselves.

Now here is a statement I can get my hands on.

The answers I have found, were in me all along, looking elsewhere,
only added to the confusion.
Within us all, is a built in sense of right and wrong.
You simply have to look into your own mind to find it.

Now, as for being called, we are all called.
Few answer the calling, and less seem to understand it,
or they simply ignore it all together.

Many are experiencing a call to nature, back to where the body was created.
The elements of creation, our true carbon footprint...
The Mother Earth.

The life force searches to the stars, for the living energy it sprang from.
This is the Father of life.

What many call feelings of the heart, are only chemicals in the brain,
causing a tightening in the chest, or increased heart rate.
Thus heart felt.

It is mind power, conscious and sub-conscious, energy, life force.
What ever you wish to call it.


I have never seen auras either.
Are you sure?
Have you never seen a child full of life, happy and playful.
So full of life, that it seems to be seeping out all around it.
I would suggest that you not look for it.
It will be easier to see, if you have no preconceived notion of what it is.


Sorry for being long winded here, just my own thoughts.

[sfth13]

Yes Dragon I have thought about many things and as you say I come away with more questions everyday....I also belive that anything is possible..I guess nobody knows for sure what it's all about. all we can do and think and choose what to belive. we won't know what the truth is until we either die or we have some sort of disclousre.. as for the document I just now started reading it for the first time.. but basically I see more warnings of what could happen if you stray towards the evil side..

That is a new age misconception of the Calling.
The Calling, yes, there is a reason many are looking. (http://earthsbanner.com/TheCalling.html)

[Dragon]

How do you know what is evil ?
Have you ever held it in your hand?


That is a new age misconception of the Calling.
New Age, I don't think so.

[sfth13]

yes I have held evil in my hands!!!! it was my ex-wife.:rolllaugh:
and i'm sure she says the same about me...:bananen_smilies046:

Excellent reply, Yes, I know that feeling.......

By Dragon "What many call feelings of the heart, are only chemicals in the brain, causing a tightening in the chest, or increased heart rate.
Thus heart felt."

The document (Bible) states that the heart is the seat of emotions.

In the early 70s I researched this with the head of Psychiatry of Group Health Hospitals in Seattle. We discovered that the transplanted heart carries with it the emotional makeup/responses of the donor. Those that receive the mechanical heart lost most all of their emotional responses.

What the document states about those with the "Calling" explains quite clearly what it is all about, if you research it. Most just let their respective religious beliefs get in the way of understanding. :(

I wonder if this can also happen with blood tranfusions??..that would mean that this would/ could affect many people.

[unipax]

Book:
"The Heart's Code"
Female Heart transplant recipient developed craving for motorcycles and McDonald's french fries.
She mentioned it to her surgeon, who knew that the donor died on his motorcycle. In his pocket was his favorite treat, McDonald's french fries.
There are several other similar accounts in the book. Also the heart has its own energy field, separate from rest of body's field.

[Dragon]

Thanks for the information.

I have also read that the heart starts to beat,
before the brain cells begin growth in an embryo,
leading some Doctors to say that we have a secondary brain.

I think the jury is still out on this.
But, I will not rule out the possibilities.

[Norval]

Yes, the heart plays a central part in the "makeup" of those with The Calling. Our bodies are an incredible creation, I would have to say. The body's makeup and functionality has amazed me all my life.

[whitecrow]

Dude. You and me both. I've had the call since I was awful young, I dunno how young...here it is a half-century later and I still don't have it right. But ain't that how it is? Ain't it all just frickin' gorgeous?

[Norval]

In time and with some diligent digging, in research of the Document most call the bible, the answers can be found. Then there is "the test" when you think you have it figured out, , , ,

Yep, mind blowin frickin' gorgeous.

[Layla]

If I may add something to this discussion...

I think many are called but few are chosen is an interesting topic because many people in this world feel or believe that they personally or as a collective are the chosen ones. But how can we find the truth in this contradiction?

Many relate to the bible, some the old - others the new, but as we can see through the many interpretations, divese 'Christian' groups and religious scholars, how people interpret the teachings in the bible can be very subjective. How do we find the truth when we come to study the bible? How do we interpret the parables, teachings, sayings and symbols within the bible? What is our own personal experience of the things we study? Do we know how to experience those things within us or how to seek them out?

Looking at the teachings of Jesus we 'hear' Him saying that through Him (the Christ) we find or reach the Father, but for most people this 'through him' approach has come down to a set of beliefs. A belief in the bible, a belief in Jesus, a belief in this, that or the other. But what does it truly mean to find the Father through the Christ? What is the Christ? (www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrJ0d7GhW3Y)

For me these are really profound questions in the scheme of my life, and beyond what the mind can understand. If I were to answer these questions here and now, I would only be demonstrating at best an intellectual understanding but that would not mean that I have understood it, let alone experienced it.

What does it mean to feel the calling? What are we being called to do?

Interesting to say the least...

[Norval]

Layla, if you were to read this thread and others about this subject you will find most of your answers as given in the Document most call bibles.

[Layla]

Norval

Yes I know what you mean, but I suppose the questions are more pertaining to going deeper beyond feeling intellectually satisfied with replies and the written word. To actually experience these things profoundly with the consciousness... its very different to 'just knowing an answer' it has to be discovered within through personal investigation and experience. Otherwise I would just be believing what others are saying and not experiencing it, which serves no real purpose, it has never led to anything, unlike conscious experience which reaches that eternal part of you.

[Gale]

conscious experience which reaches that eternal part of you

The response associated with the internal realization has been simplistically labeled the "OH Shit". The "Oh Shit" Syndrome (http://earthsbanner.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19)

Gale, thanks for the link to 'the Calling'... It seems that Norval and your research has come to some of the same conclusion as mine... although, I have reached my ideas through different documents. Now, I am compelled to dust off my very old copy of the 'document' and study..

All the best
