Excerpts from the Prophecy Readings of Paul Solomon Excerpts from the Prophecy Readings of Paul Solomon The Earth Is Pregnant An Introduction “Our Mother, the Earth, is pregnant and about to give birth to a New Age.” Nearly three decades ago, at a time when many scientists, religious leaders and psychics were beginning to join the prophets of doom in dire predictions of earthquakes, calamities and catastrophic changes in the earth’s surface, Paul Solomon presented a refreshing point of view. He described the coming earth changes as comparable to one of the most joyous of all experiences – that of a young couple awaiting the birth of their first child. “The couple happily prepares the nursery. and they prepare themselves for a change in their lifestyle. They talk with anticipation and expectancy about the new little baby who will soon come into the world. Every woman knows she will experience some pain with labor contractions the last few hours before birth. But the couple doesn’t dwell on that. It is just something that must happen before they are blessed with a child. Their minds are fastened to the end result – the baby,” Paul said. This is the perspective that the Source wants us to establish with all of humanity in relating to these changes. “There is not to be fear among you of the changes that come, (for) the pains of the changes of the face of the earth are no more than the labor contraction of the expectant mother. And do not the parents delight with the beginning of those pains, and do they not look forward to that which is to come from it? Be thrilled and look forward to the birth of the New Age. Let the people know that if they can expect those changes in this manner as a glorious faith, as a quivering with anticipation as the earth would burst forth into new glory and light…Let (the people) know that this is a happy, blessed, expected event, giving birth to a new Kingdom, a New Age. Give thanks that you have part in it.” Paul Solomon Reading 0530 – L – 0427 – FA – 0001 – WmK – New York, NY, March 7, 1975) We don’t have choices about when, how, or even whether the earth changes will happen. They will happen. Yet we need not dwell on cataclysm and catastrophe. We have a greater choice. We can prepare ourselves as expectant parents, focusing on the end result, the blessing, the gift of God that will follow – a new heaven and a new earth. An Appropriate Response to the Earth Changes I would like you to know that from the beginning of time, there have been earth changes, and there will continue to be. In California, you’ve already seen a great deal of land slipping into the sea. It’s already happened. Things like that will continue to © 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 1 happen. And this particular area (California) is one of the most changing areas in the United States. There will be drastic changes in this area, and a lot of lives will be lost. That’s nothing new. That happens, and it happens, and it happens. It’s part of life. What should you do about it? What you should do is not try to figure out where is the safest place to be. I can tell you the safest place to be. The safest place to be is where your Source tells you to get your work done. If that is in the middle of the earthquake zone, then be there. That is the safest place in the world for you. If you go to a place where there is no earthquake because you’re afraid of the earthquake, then you’re going to get hit by a car because it’s not where you’re supposed to be. So don’t bother with the prophecies in the sense of figuring, “How long should I stay in California? When should I move?” Don’t bother with that. The only prophecy that you need to get in touch with is knowing your direction in life, where you should be spending your time and energy, what you should be doing with your talent and your opportunities, how you should relate to other people. Get in touch with that. Where can you best give your time, your energy, your life, your creativity to help the planet? Does that need to be in a place where earthquakes are predicted? If so, be there, and know that changes are going to happen there. Changes happen all of the time. That’s what life is made out of and don’t be afraid of it. Many earth changes have been predicted by the Paul Solomon Source The time of the earth changes is here, and the prophecies are coming true: No funds, No food “I declare unto you, you’ve entered the times when the changes come. You begin to see … changes in climate, in weather, in features of the face of the earth that will startle men and begin speculation that the end days are at hand. You’ll see it in your newspapers. You’ll hear it talked in places you had never suspected the men would speculate on such tings. But it comes. And I declare unto you that …. the hungry will begin to be shut off, as the agencies begin to say, “We have no funds and no food.” And the beginning of a famine…. , a time when men will begin to fight in the streets over scraps of bread. You will see men lining before the doors of your institutions finding that their currency has no value. You’ll see a time when the judgment of God will say, “I have indeed heaped upon you blessings that you were not able to receive. And in mockery, you have despised them. And if it must be that in order to hear the sweet prayers of my children, then I must take away all things and leave them bare and wanting until they cry out to me. So be it. And it has begun.” Paul Solomon Reading 0662 – L – 0543 – MA – 0001 – CF, Virginia Beach, Virginia, July 22, 1975 © 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 2 It’s happening now: CNN is doing a series on the crisis in the job market and the hardships of the families of the millions of people who have lost their jobs. Other news channels as well continue to air stories about jobs being lost, families in crisis, and charities, whose purpose is to help them, running out of funds. This story from Mother Jones Magazine’s, November-December 2003 issue reported: Henderson, Vance County, North Carolina One in of Vance County’s 45,000 residents is unemployed. The unemployment rate soared to 20% last March when the textile plant laid off 600 workers. Vance’s County The unemployment rate of Vance County North Carolina, is 15.5%. In the last two years, throughout the state 111,000 people lost their jobs. So many applied for unemployment that North Carolina’s unemployment trust went bankrupt twice. Social agencies (such as Franklin-Vance-Warren) who have traditionally provided funding for emergency needs for low income families and the elderly (needs such helping out on rent, heating bills, medicine and food) are being forced to turn people away. (From Mother Jones Magazine, November-December 2003) Prophecy: The United States will fight those “who have broken in on our shores.” Difficulties in those areas (Southern United States) in agriculture, of food, of production of food. Will become increasingly scarce and difficult… You will see that time that people in the streets will fight over a scrap of bread. Now following this period, then, there will be some re-stabilization, yet entering into war, in this period, in this time, will make for much difficulty, much difficulty in the stabilizing of this. Yet the food will be more plentiful in that time, or there will be the beginnings of rallying so that those problems will be not concerning the economy, but rather, those who have broken in on our shores. For this country will be found to be weak in this time, and fighting among themselves because of the belief. Then prepare. Be ready. For that that come as civil war in this day will not be between one area and another of the country, but rather brother against brother in the streets with no division as to portions thereof, but rather according to the beliefs. See that occurring now in Ireland, that occurs according to the beliefs. So will you find occurring in your own land and weakening this place that would be attacked of another. And we see that capital being moved to a more northern position, northwest, into the northwest. And in those times will this nation rally and (will be the choice of the people, then, of who will stand with the Sons of the Law of One.) Paul Solomon Reading 0241- LH - 0179- MA - PT, Greenville, South Carolina, September 20, 1973 © 2007 The Paul Solomon Foundation Page 3 References to “Those who have broken in on our shores” and “brother against brother in the streets… according to beliefs” Before 9/11 we didn’t feel vulnerable to attack in America. Most people felt safe. And although the initial shock and fear of another attack has waned, as a nation our naïve beliefs that we lived behind an impenetrable wall will probably never be possible again. Besides the obvious connection of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, one of the difficulties and conflicts within the United States seem to be a tension between our Moslem brother and sisters and the rest of the residents of the United States, which probably includes as all of the nationalities, religions, races and belief systems as exist in the world.

  • Fellowship Primer
    The Fellowship Primer Excerpts from the Paul Solomon Source Work-Readings for the Fellowship of the Inner Light Compiled and Edited by Grace de Rond Editor’s Note The purpose of The Fellowship Primer is to share the message of the Paul Solomon Source and to help individuals better understand the story, the nature and the purposes of the Fellowship of the Inner Light. I first heard of Paul Solomon in 1974 through the initial book on Paul’s work as a spiritual teacher and a psychic channel: Excerpts from the Paul Solomon Tapes compiled by Daniel Emmanuel and Tom Johnson. Within a year of reading the book, I made my way to Virginia Beach, VA and showed up at the door of Paul’s organization to volunteer. This was 1975, and I was assigned the task of indexing Paul’s trance readings low-tech style, using a cassette tape player, enormous old-fashioned headphones on a spiral cord, and a notepad and pencil. From the first audible word, I fell in love. More than three decades later, much of who I am is a result of my study of Paul’s work and my experience of him as a personal teacher. In 1977, I received a personal reading from Paul that described my role with his work. “Let your direction be in cataloging, indexing and making of value the information that is set before you. Through the categorizing, become an authority on what is given and said. Spare no moment in sharing it. Be of assistance in every way, in allowing the facts, ideas and concepts that are here to become more and better known.

  • Introduction to Inner Light Consciousness
    Introduction to Inner light Consciousness Inner Light Consciousness is a guided experience in spiritual evolution. Both the name of the course and its content are attempts to express the teachings of those men so accomplished in the mastery of themselves and the laws of the universe that they were able to accomplish things that other men called miracles. These men commonly referred to a light within and suggested often to their followers that every man has this light within and that if he becomes conscious of it and lets this light shine that he too can do the works of God that would reveal the presence of God in the universe, letting the man fade from sight. Inner Light Consciousness is based on the belief that becoming conscious of this Inner Light will cause it to grow and through the attention given this light as we become conscious of it, we make the light available to light our path and that of those around us for as long or as often as we are conscious of it. In recent years so much has been published in the field of parapsychology that hardly anyone doubts the existence of ESP or Higher Sense Perception, telepathy and thought transference. So many books have been published heralding and in some cases authenticating the work of various psychics, mediums, prophets and healers that most people at least recognize the possibility that such higher gifts exist to some degree of validity. Indeed we find that mankind throughout time and in all literature has been intrigued with the idea of the existence of ESP, telepathy and spiritual gifts.

  • Paul Solomon
    Paul Solomon Paul Solomon was a Meta-Human, a remarkable man who lived his life in service to exemplify and teach the ultimate possibilities of human potential. He was highly acclaimed as a prophet, sage, lecturer, philosopher, counselor, minister, magician, psychic and miracle worker. He was lauded as one of the most dynamic and insightful teachers of our time as he lectured around the world, touching and helping to transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. The son of a Baptist minister, Paul was steeped in the Bible from early childhood. He attended seminary with the goal of following in his father's footsteps as a minister, but a shattering personal experience forced him to leave his studies. Five years of rebellion and depression followed until a powerful mystical experience changed his life forever. The experience took him beyond the limiting realm of the five physical senses into the Separate Reality of a Higher World. He was catapulted instantly into new life, a new relationship with God, and a new ministry. He spent the rest of his life studying, learning, and teaching what he called Inner Light Consciousness, a guided experience in spiritual evolution, and from that he developed other related lectures and workshops. His goal was to help people find their own Inner Light without having to go through what he did to discover their potential. He encouraged the development of a close, personal relationship with God, the Source of our being, a relationship in which we can confidently ask questions and receive answers whenever guidance is needed.

  • Instead of Your Emotions Managing You by Joyce Meyers
    A Closer Look at the Teachings of Joyce Meyer by Ken Jacobson INTRODUCTION A neighbor of mine mentioned the famous televangelist Joyce Meyer to me one day and suggested that I read one of Meyer’s books. So I read the one she had just read: Managing Your Emotions: Instead of Your Emotions ​ Managing You, published in 2002, a book that is representative of the ​ “self-help” books Meyer sells by the millions. Early in her book Meyer warns; “There is a lot of spiritual ‘junk’ being offered today, and some of it sounds so good and feels so right. Make sure what you are following is in line with the Word of God and is initiated by His Holy Spirit.” p 81 Are Joyce Meyer’s teachings “in line with the Word of God”? Let’s take a look… Chapter 1 SAVED BY FABULOUSNESS Meyer sets the tone early in her book by making it clear just where she stands in relation to her readers: “My husband and I have a fabulous life” she writes on page 59, “Many times things are so wonderful for us I feel like a fairy princess.” “Here I am traveling all over the world,” she continues, “people are coming to hear me speak, I’m on radio and television, and God is opening doors to me everywhere I go – I am so blessed!” And her readers? Meyer, equating herself with Abraham, goes on to tell her readers, “God will bless you too – if you will walk in His ways and trust him to be your recompense, your very great reward, your vindicator.” “Each of us,” she explains, “can be as blessed as Abraham was, if we will be as faithful and obedient as he was.” Meyer’s book is chocked full

  • Pettition-With-Signa
    Dear Commissioner Saul: We are members of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR), and their colleagues. NOSSCR is a nationwide non-profit organization whose mission is to advocate for improvements in Social Security disability programs and to ensure that individuals with disabilities applying for Social Security Disability and SSI benefits have access to highly qualified representation and receive fair decisions. Collectively, we represent tens of thousands of individuals applying for Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income benefits each year. We do this work because we care about our clients, but we cannot continue this work if we cannot stay in business. Most of us use the statutorily approved fee agreement to be paid; this is a simple process that limits our fee to the lesser of a set cap or 25% of past due benefits. Since 2009, this cap has been set at $6000 and has not been adjusted, while inflation has increased by 20% driving up business costs including salaries, rents, utilities, and other items. In addition to this the user fees that claimants’ representatives must pay to SSA to have their fees withheld continue to rise each year. As a result, we have seen many of our colleagues leave this area of law, others have laid off staff, or stopped providing additional services, all of which affects our ability to provide the best representation for our clients. We ask therefore, that you take the following actions: • Use the authority granted to the Commissioner of Social Security by the 1990 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act to adjust the fee cap to reflect an increase in the primary insurance amounts since the last time that the fee cap was adjusted in 2009; and • promulgate a regulation to automatically adjust the fee cap each year to reflect increases in the primary insurance amounts.
