Anyone you can direct me to?

I have heard stories of people drowning and body never found, in 3 years they came back with awesome wealth. I would love to go there . I don't care about the wealth, I want the knowledge revealed over there.
Lol. Yes, i know a number of them. I used to be able to identify them by just looking at them, but not anymore.

Believe me, i don't want to ever have anything to do with them, and i would'nt want to direct you to any of them.

Well Ishilove my sister woman In the planet VENUS where I LUCIFER son of the Morning and the LIGHT BEARER resides, there is nothing like that. We dont even have river there and no ocean. U need to experience what it is like living in VENUS to understand my comment.
Any since i'm on sabbatical leave here on planet EARTH, i have to comment. There are four elements here and there are air, water, fire and earth. All these elements can be at our services for both good and evil. But whatever u use them for, remember reaping time (KARMA). Some souls are earth bound and b/c in their previous incarnation here on earth and depending on their karmic debt, things like water spirit, mammy water etc continue to exist. Again each individual soul has its mission(s) on earth. Just like Judas Iscariot's mission among the 12 disciples of the Master Jesus The Christ was to betray him and he must fulfill his earthly mission. The interesting about it is that Jesus himself knew prior b/4 selecting him. despite his love for material things as money he was made treasurer of the disciples.
Yes, i aware of Jesus' foreknowledge of Judas' betrayal

The reason why Africa is underdeveloped has less to do with superstition and more to do with over-abundance of resources.

South Korea and Japan also have a high number of superstitious people.Then there is Estonia where a large number of people practice their own form of trado religion.....and Estonia is highly developed.And many of these developed European countries got developed in the 19th century...when most poeple went to church (Faraday....who discovered a lot of eelctricity related things...was also religious).

The thing with all these countries is that they have limited resources. As a result....they have to rely on their effective management of what they do have....mostly brains....to survive. By contrast....Africa just sells resources....and chops the money. If resources run out...we move to the next resource and start selling. Every African thinks like that.....which is why in the Niger Delta....there is far more concern about how much oil money comes to them....than how they use their brains/knowhow to solve the problems relying from the explotiation of oil . If they did that...they could earn lots of cash. But they won't.

Regardless of religion....we have to wake up to the fact that we are not as rich as we think we are...and work for our money. Look at Russia. A high part of the population is atheist....and yet...they are overdependent on oil. Because it is too easy to sell oil and share the money rather than focus on using innovation to maximum benefit. Until we Africans stop using our resources to deceive ourselves into thinking we are rich......we will remain poor and backward....whether we all become atheists, Christians, Muslims, or return to the religion of our ancestors.

I used to think like you until I found out that the Negro problem is beyond material abundance. The Negro problem is spiritual.

Revelations 12:14
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.


The woman this verse is describing is the Negroes, the Israelites of the Bible, God's woman;

Jeremiah 3:14
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you


But this woman forsook God, and God hid took His face away from her. God took His eyes away from His wife, Israel, and this is the reason the Negroes are the way they are today, because God took His eyes away from them, and they started to suffer in what is called the tribulations. But God did not forsake her completely, He provided sustenance for her until her time of tribulations end, this is why it is said that she is nourished by the serpent for a time, times, and half a time from the face of the serpent. The serpent is supposed to provide sustenance for her during the period of her tribulations, she would get her food by favour from the face of the serpent.

The serpent buys her resources, and the money she gets sustains her. But it is for a decreed period of time, times, and half a time, which has ended. This is why the serpent is unable to buy her oil anymore, the serpent is broke. The decreed time for her tribulations has ended, God is taking back His wife to Himself.

What I write may be difficult to understand, but we all will understand shortly.

I just wanted to clarify this issue.

Tsk tsk tsk, plaetton, the day your eyes will be opened will be the most momentous day in your life. Mark today's date.
Oh my dear Ishilove, my questions are as Since as yours.
When will you extricate your mind from all this spiritual mumbo jumbo stuff?
Whether real or imagined, you do not live in a spiritual world, therefore, it is grand folly to engage potentially productive mental resources to the contemplation of spiritual mumbo jumbo that adds Zero positive value to human life and human endeavors.
Yes, humans must always ponder about existence, but why dwell only on the aspects that scare you rather than the aspects that enlighten and empower you?

My frustration is why is it so much easier to see Africans, Nigerians in particular, waxing eloquent about mamiwater, juju, biblical miracles and other spiritual mumbo jumbos than to see them engaging in issues of philosophy, history, astronomy or science?

Our prelediction to magical thinking and our aversion, more like allergic reaction, to science, science education and scientific thinking is greatly responsible for our perrenial underdevepment, and forebodes very ill for the future of the people of the African continent.

Ask yourself, Why in this era, do Africans contribute the least in scientific innovation and output?
Is it because we are genetically inferior to other races, or, is that our minds are cluttered with sooo much garbage that does not allow us to think properly?
Only one answer is Correct.
Which one, my dear Ishilove, is the Correct answer?

This topic has nothing to do with spirituality and everything to do with superstition.

It is 2015 and we are still hearing people talking rubbish about non existent ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night!

What do these things concentrate in the developing world (should be REMAIN) and are not in the developed world?

Culture and Education.

Africa needs to progress and will do this through EDUCATION. The rest of the world looks at people who say these stupid things and laught.

THEY DONT EXIST!

Please let them know. This stuff don't exist.

Yes I try my best, but don't forget culture is very deep rooted. Even up 400 years ago or less they actually believed in Witches in Europe! And silly superstitions still exist in most places in the world. However education will continue to advance and while there will always be those poor unfortunates who did not get a chance at a proper education the majority of people are rational and reject this rubbish. The damage it does to the believers of this rubbish AND their culture/country is very real. How could you expect them to perform any responsible job. If a problem arose they would be looking for the demon/spirit/curse that caused it and running to a Babalwo or something like that. An intelligent person would be looking for a cause and solution!

You ask some very relevant and to the point questions. Do please bear in mind two crucial points.

1) Africa is one of the last places to be developed on the planet. While GREAT and WONDERFUL progress has been made and will undoubtedly continue to be made the low starting point has left it behind a bit in things like education. Also in the social and physical infrastructure without which superstition and silly ideas flourish. Eg. What do all the countries have in common where it is normal to hear of many people aged 150-200 years old existing? They are all countries that lack proper birth and death records! So people believe these vastly exaggerated ages. In countries WITH proper national birth records perhaps one person in tens of millions reaches over 110!

2) Because of poverty (usually due to corruption by the countries leaders) there is resentment by the 'have nots' against the 'haves' and this is conducive to anti developed world sentiment - especially the (for want of a better term) 'Western' world. Whatever the west says must of course be a lie so they rubbish it when people try to educate them.

An interesting thought is the influence of Nollywood! Almost every second film I see has some element of silly Juju/magic/demons etc in it. Now does Nollywood actually influence the thinking of its viewers OR is it a product of giving people what they want? A separate thread I am sure and a topic for another day!

And even in Chinese culture...

Water... Air... Wind.... And fire...

As usual, he ws on his 3weeks off shore working when they had to stop work for a while cos of heavy winds( work had to stop cos they were working on a crane's suspention cable and gears), so during this break, a colleague of his wanted to take a selfie with the tornado in the background. Lo and behold, upon taking that selfie, he looked at the picture only to find the image of an woman(white haired) moving in the same direction as the wind. He wasnt paranoid because that my colleague still had a picture of it in his fne which he showed to me.... Dude.... I couldnt take a second look or collect the picture cos I believe having things like that in ur possesion could get them attracted to you

We hear of these things but never actually seem to see them ourselves! I wonder why? wink

Of course we cant see the picture in case we figure out the rational explanation behind it!
