Revelation 21: 1-6<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cThen I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy city, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, \u201cLook! God\u2019s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell among them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, \u201d I am making everything new!\u201d Then he said, \u201cWrite this down for these words are trustworthy and true.\u201d He said to me: \u201cIt is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMan will oppose everything except a Hand Extended, \u2026 he will stand up in the face of every hazard except Lonely Time; that for the sake of his poorest and shakiest and screwiest principle he will lay down his life, endure pain, ridicule, and even sometimes, that most demeaning of American hardships, discomfort, but will relinquish his firmest stand for Love \u2026
\nLove \u2014 or the fear of Not Having It, or the worry of Not having Enough of It, or the Terror of Losing It \u2014 certainly does conquer all.\u201d<\/em>

Benjamin Creme (1922-2016), Aquarian Age conspiracist<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

From Wiki:<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u201cCreme said that he was first contacted telepathically by his Master in January 1959, when Creme was asked to make tape recordings of his Master\u2019s messages.[19] Creme first began to speak publicly of his mission on 30 May 1975, at the Friends Meeting House on Euston Road in London, England.[20][21] His central message announced the emergence of this group of enlightened spiritual teachers who would guide humanity forward into a new epoch, the Aquarian\u00a0Age of peace and brotherhood, based on the principles of love and sharing.\u00a0<\/strong>At the head of this group would be the one who occupies the office of the Christ, Maitreya, the World Teacher,[1] expected by all the major religions as their \u201cAwaited One\u201d: the Christ to the Christians; the Imam Mahdi to the Muslims; the Messiah for Jews; and the 5th Buddha (i.e., Maitreya) for Buddhists. As early as 1982, however, Creme emphasized that Maitreya would reveal himself fully\u00a0only when Humanity began to live in right relationship to one another \u2013 most notably, by living in peace, and by beginning to share the world\u2019s resources more equitably<\/strong>.[22][23]<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Creme asserted that Maitreya was the World Teacher for the Age of Aquarius, and that during the transition of one astrological cycle to another humans undergo a quickening of their evolution,\u00a0while experiencing crisis after crisis.<\/strong>[45]\u201d<\/h3>\n

At the end of George Orwell\u2019s 1984, broken, humiliated, every bit of his humanity smashed, Winston waits for the bullet in the back of the head and thinks, \u201cHe had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/h3>\n

    Love one another blindly in a thick global stew of brotherly affection, and then the world will be free of war.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n

    Lay down your weapons and your sour pusses, and then the world will be free of crime.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
