Subject: Exercise, Daniel's life leading to awakening April 25, 2001. Greetings again e-subscribers of http://finalbookofdaniel.com First I shall mention that the first edition of the soon to be (self) published Final Book of Daniel is nearly complete, about to be submitted, and shall reach public hands about September, 2001. Although a primitive, error-filled edition is available now on the site for free, the best version has been vastly improved, NOT available on the internet, but is available through purchase in manuscript version (It's very long, approaching 400 pages--remember I only started writing this in Jan, 2000!). For those that have ordered this manuscript, hang tight, it should be ready in about a week or two. To obtain this version (not available on the web!), see the following URL: http://finalbookofdaniel.com/Daniel.html . Also remember that I still require the aid to financially supply the costs of initial publication...this is a reader funded book and message by those who are guided by the Spirit and Truth. It really is up to you. (Those blessed folks who have already given, you shall receive, mark my words.) The URL for your aid is: http://finalbookofdaniel.com/charity.html * * * This e-message contains two topics. The first explains the brief history and evolution of Future, Doomsday year 2000/Year 2000 Economics/Final Book of Daniel (in that order) and author thereof. The second topic deals briefly with the mind/body/spirit connection, in particular as it deals wiith exercise. * * * This is written for the benefit of the reader who may of may have not had the opportunity to read the Final Boof of Daniel, or someone who has not been around since 1998 when I first began writing the site, and involves a chronological documentation of events as a brief historical inscription of events, beginning 30 years ago to the present, April, 2001. Some may have entertained some confusion as to such events, therefore they are laid out in plain fashion here for the record. In a sense this is a autobiographical memoir and historical record as to how not only the author's website and message developed, but how Daniel ultimately transformed into his present identity as an incarnate angel of God. This is a very brief chronology as described at length throughout the book of the author's advancement pertinent not only on the Web, but a brief run-down from birth through adulthood, the Web, Y2K, and subsequent awakening as an incarnate prophet and angel of God at the end of the days; a return as promised in Daniel 12: " But you, go your way to the end and rest; you shall rise for your reward at the end of the days." Naturally it begins at birth. I was born two months premature, was not breathing and was blue in color, spending thereafter two months in an incubator. For the next ten years Daniel existed as a normal human child in a relatively unordinary, blue collar family. About the age of ten, in 1981, I was hit by a car, spent two weeks in a hospital and suffered trauma and a Near-Death Experience. It was of a negative variety, and beyond the comprehension of a 10-yesr old, therefore was suppressed for many years. The next ten years were largely uneventful, living and experiencing the typical teenager life most do at this age. I did however begin taking a significant interest in solitude, long walks and interest in big-picture topics, one of which was nuclear war. Little did I realize that one day I would become an actual embodied angel of God. In my late teens was developed an interest in economics and world issues which seemed to be utterly nonsensical to all my teenage friends; I was called the brain of our kin group, and they obviously were not interested in such topics, given their age. I was never influenced by outside religious concepts or influences, and my mother had always deemed it important to allow me to find out truth on my own, which of course became the case in profound fashion before the age of 30. At about the time of general independence, 18 to 20, I began breaking away from family and childhood past with a seeking desire to explore life and the world, and make sense of it all. It was a tumultuous time to say the least, when most that age begin their ascent into the world of work, career or school. I had not been properly reared or educated to handle the responsibilities of the adulthood, so therefore had to learn the hard way upon leaving home. It was then, in 1991, that Daniel underwent a Near-Death Experience. This event shattered all preconceived notions of humanity, God, religion and society and self. To be a earthly materialist educated by secular, humanistic society then suddenly experience the power and glory of the after-life truly shook my foundations. Ironically, it did not immediately turn me into a saint, but left me flabbergasted at the massive rift between typical dogma and views of God issued by mainstream religion, and the true reality of the incomprehensible glory witnessed. Within one year of this NDE, combined with bitter residence for the for first time with long-lost relatives, some of whom were very lost, the author experienced trouble, emotionally, financially and spiritually. This was no longer the booming 1980s, but the midst -- the peak -- of a severe recession, 1992. This was not a good time to be in the job market, and especially was not a good time to be a youth; my kin and cohort for the next several years branded as "Generation X" as a scapegoat generation which followed the shadow of the Baby Boomers. We constantly were told we "had it good," even though we were the first American generation to suffer an actual drop in standard of living. Employers hated us as much as society did. The only real jobs we were able to obtain for the rest of the decade were low-paying, dead end jobs. It was not a very optimistic time. But in the long run this allowed the author to lower societal and materialistic expectations, permitting one to seek meaning and truth within, which largely is irrelevant to the ways of modern society; a process of "finding one's self." While the recession was officially over in 1991, technically, in the job market it continued until 1995. Generation X then learned -- like the last lost generation that entered the 1930s -- that they would never attain the American dream, and would be continually criticized throughout their life for all of society's problems, regardless of their stage of life. They were throughout their life deemed as a "rotten, immoral" generation. They are of course not rotten in and of themselves, but born at the wrong time, in a period of cultural decay; the saying of the previous generation: Sex, drugs and rock and roll, now became AIDS, crack, and rap music. But what does this have to do with Daniel? There developed a strong sense of self and understanding of the world around, much attributed to the natural wisdom gained from prior NDEs. He employed this disciplined strength of mind to bodybuild and seek self, which would in the future, unknowingly transform the very essence of his being. All in the face of societal expectations that we were all "worthless, unambitious, etc. In 1992 I grew massively from a skeletal 120 pounds to a powerful 200 pounds of muscle within six months. I perpetuated at such a level until 1999, when the Spirit took over. This 1991 NDE had such a profound effect that all fears was lost. I then unfortunately engaged in some reckless and irresponsible activities which caused me to create negative karma; it was a result of such which thereafter caused me to suffer, in order to pay it back; yet is was also such suffering that allowed growth and acquisition of wisdom. I hit absolute bottom from 1994 to 1996. However, from this painful bottom was sown the seeds of the Kingdom of Heaven. Small at first, but grew to the size of the story you now read. All my "ways" that had and were becoming unworkable, self-perpetuating and disastrous to the ways of God were now in a process of reversal; through such a process of discarding the superficial, past and unworkable, I was now forging a solid path of righteousness, consciousness and workable. I did not realize it until after the fact, but I was gradually, but relentlessly, aligning to the ways of the Spirit through a process of rigorous trial and error. I had absolutely no conscious clue I would eventually become Daniel and an actual angel of God as the end result of all these trials, but it happened. Through this entire process I moved around state to state, searching for ultimate meaning, and in the process gained valuable insight into the lives and cultures of North America. Financially the personal situation became stable from 1995 onward, although low in monetary compensation. The employment positions held -- and seeked -- always seemed to be those which were conducive to the ways of the Spirit; evening or graveyard shifts, slow in noise and activity and distractions, allowing one to focus on internal growth. The main and significant, prophetic chronology of Daniel's life now begins. I was then living around Portland Oregon. It was late 1997. Deep down something continually bothered me: It dealt not with my futile life in the mortal realm, but with society; the world, and it was a future event. Something the author could not place his finger on. I had always unselfishly regarded the events of the world as much larger and important than my irrelevant life. Then Daniel was shown this preliminary vision in 1997, of the Doomsday Clock. It was a memorable and emotional vision, and it dealt with the long term aspects of human society, and of the world. Did I know at the time what this would involve? No. Although I was an angel and Daniel in embryo, all that was known was that it concerned a definite future event unprecedented, as it was to relate to human society. Therefore, I then joined the then blossoming but immature internet revolution then underway. I desired not to seek wealth or fame, but to hopefully get to the bottom of this dire vision I had seen as a result of the previously mentioned: The Doomsday Clock vision. From this and pursuit thereof stemmed the entire book you are reading. In 1998 I began my website, which took several thousand hours of continual editing and coverage, much of it revolving around the Y2K computer bug and how it may result in disaster should the message not be heeded. At the same time, exotically beautiful, dove like wings were frequently becoming visible on my back, yet at the time did not realize the meaning of this phenomenon; being utterly clueless of God, religion and angels. Although this entire story was a case of everything occurring after the fact, there came a time when God deemed it necessary to then awaken the author as to who he was, and would become. After spending about 5000 (unpaid) hours of thought and writing over two years on a website that became quite popular and very respected, around mid-1999 I was gradually becoming awakened to the identity which would soon transcend all previous endeavors, and indeed be one of profound, historical consequence. By mid-1999 my mind and very character had been changing radically to an advanced form previously unrecognizable; the fruits of the efforts of the years past of conquering self were now substantially becoming evident; I was very near to what was later determined to be Christ-consciousness. I no longer could seem capable of listening to "rock and roll," nor "rap music." Only orchestra and new age type etheric music would then tantalize the soul. Though still an agnostic and ignorant of all religious concepts, even at this time, the consciousness seemed to be elevated to a level which far exceeds the common, average man, not to mention wisdom, understanding and intelligence. I would spend night after night, hours and hours, in what I retrospectively determined to be deep prayer, while still having no Godly, religious concepts as part of the being and mind. I remember now that on several occasions I had transcended space and time and was actually flying with a multitude of other angels. But at the time I strangely did not perceive myself as an angel! That was to change within a few short months. Within the month of October of 1999, after I had stopped covering the potential Y2K computer problem publicly, I began sensing an exponential exhilaration within; day by day within this month I felt euphoric, as though something strange had come over me. I could not tell why, or for what reason, but it was so very profound that I felt invincible; the embodiment of Joy Divine! Nothing, no matter how seemingly harmful, was a restriction. While this elation could not be understood, it did not matter! I seemingly became the ecstatic living flame of life! What happened shortly after resulted in the explanatory story of this book. Soon after I was then awakened in most profound manner in the presence of God, which is impossible to describe. In this Presence I was then allotted with the Holy Spirit. Simultaneously I was then told who I was, that of the reincarnate identity of Daniel of the Old Testament. I shed many tears of astonishment thereafter, and for many months could not fully come to grips with this identity and powers given thereafter. I had become not only an incarnate angel, but the simultaneous return of Daniel himself, in the flesh. Day in and day out third party people were continually in shock at my presence and the visual glory of the radiant spirit of the wings blazing from my back. I had hence been endowed with the Holy, Divine, angelic spirit; the upper and lower were becoming merged to a degree I thought not possible. Thereafter began an extraordinary sequence of life events which exceeded all rational science, and indeed surpassed even rational, logical science as exists in this dark and materialistic age. I stopped writing to my thousands of readers concerning Y2K. I abandoned all thoughts regarding the economy. In the summer of 1999 a prophetic vision, the first of its kind, was given; it was to be a non-event! What?! Here was I, a shmuck telling everyone this was to be a disaster! However, at the time of the Y2K rollover, the mind had so become merged with divine reality by the endowed Spirit that nothing else mattered. I could be attacked by a wretched maniac, and I would still be smiling. I completely abandoned all Y2K coverage after September, 1999, and the release was great. The first unknowing stage of the angelic duty was complete. It was at this time that I was awakened in the presence of God, and thereafter endowed with the Holy Spirit; transformed into what God had been planning all along. At the 'ripe old age of 28,' the author was then fully transformed into an actual angel of God, and a prophet; that of Daniel of the Bible, endowed with the Holy Spirit. The events of life progression thereafter continued exponential and unabated, even to this day, and shall certainly continue. From this time I was euphoric yet blissfully ignorant of religious concepts. Unfortunately I would soon thereafter deal with bigoted folks who had been studying the Bible etc. for decades. But I, as Daniel and an angel, would have obvious edge, endowed with the Holy Spirit of Truth. Therefore afterwards began an absorbtion into the mind of all religious knowledge. At first some would actually use this against me: "I know about the Bible than you!" etc. (This is jealousy). Obviously since that time all aspects of Scriptural knowledge was embedded into Daniel's mind, and this should be evident after reading the Final Book of Daniel. Angelification, attaining the highest of highest heights did not involve knowledge of ANY Scriptures...AT ALL. Daniel found the Spirit independently, or God found me. Thereafter people would be confronting me with the shocked phrase, "Oh my God, he's an angel!" These experiences are too numerous and profound to anymore write down. It did not require scriptural knowledge nor involvement in any religion to become an angel; it took spiritual growth and hard work, and it took the will of the Father. Did Daniel achieve human angelification by "accepting Jesus as my lord and Savior?" NO. Did it first require water baptism? NO. Did it require me to submit carefully to all Judaic/Mosaic laws? NO. Did it require me to be perfect through all stages of life? NO. Did it involve repentance, willingness to change ways, systematically conquer self, alter character and align to divine will? YES. This overpowering magnitude of the radiant Spirit continued strongly since the awakening. Until I started sharing it with readers, subscribers, late January 2000. Apparently, shortly after first breaking the news to everyone online, they (Or, one person who thought I was "influenced by the devil") caused me to actually see the Christian "hell." It was then realized just how powerful they, in their collective thoughts, really are, particularity in respect to a holy angel. This occurred in February, 2000. Then, after coming to grips with this profoundly unheard of and seemingly radical situation, Daniel thence burned with desire to experience the ultimate truth. Realizing he was the return of a Jewish prophet, and that the purpose of all prophecy was the Messiah, desired to know the ultimate truth once and for all, particularity concerning Jesus. Daniel of Old was a Jew, and much of his prophecies dealt with the Messiah. Well, here I was as Daniel at the End, and had to find out the truth about the Messiah, Jesus, and how it related to my return. Never could I resort to speculation or emotional "belief." The truth had to be shown once and for all. After soliciting readers' prayers, and climbing on a nearby mountain during the 2000, April 23 Easter period, I was shown the answer, and met with Jesus, who cleared up all confusion: He was in fact the Jewish Messiah, and the Kingdom to be established not political -- past or future -- but a spiritual one, and it exists right now for those willing to seek such advanced levels. I gave the last of the significant economic, prophetic analyses during spring and summer of 2000 based on then given divine visions, all of which continued to come to pass with an accuracy rate of 100%. Chronologically, for the remainder of 2001, Daniel absorbed all conceivable scriptural knowledge, now being guided by the Holy Spirit. A four-month break occurred whence I underwent a temptation period as to how I would employ the super-natural powers given, and how it would be received by the populace in general, particularity amongst critics who would attempt to destroy Daniel's credibility. While Daniel's ministry was to be low key, it was contemplated that there would be certain critics who would "demand a sign," so that I could "prove" my existence to others. It was a tough process, but Daniel eventually determined that his words, deeds and fruits are sufficient, miracles or not, and of course Daniel, by the power of God has 'performed' many, and only 5% are mentioned herein; it is not my perogative to 'perform signs' nor advertise this fact to you. Profound angelic experiences continue to happen day after day, but have simply stopped writing them down. What then happened in Daniel's life from fall 2000 to spring 2001? Much internal struggle; I temporarily stopped writing any material for the book, for almost 5 months! So in reality this book was written over the period of less than a year. Only until after I abandoned mortal pursuits in mid-February 2001 did I finish the last portions and editing of the book. The edition you are now reading was last proof-read in the last week of April, 2001. Obviously the life and visions of Daniel will not end with this initial publication. About half a year will in fact pass before you read these final words issued by Daniel in this Afterword. If you stay with the program, visit the website, seek the upcoming newsletter and future editions of the book, you shall be further enlightened as to Daniel's barely begun prophetic ministry, commissioned by God. * * * * Exercise, diet; mind body and spirit While it is beyond the scope of this book to elaborate into lengthy discourses on exercise and nutrition, it is extremely important to realize that true spirituality is not simply prayer and faith. Achieving the highest aspects of internal growth is not complete unless the mind/body/spirit is properly attained. How can one enjoy the maximum benefits of the Spirit if 500 pounds overweight? Or suffering from self-induced physical maladies due to poorly chosen diet regimens? Achieving the Way necessarily requires the unitive balance of mind, soul, body and spirit. They are all interactive aspects of self. It is akin to fine tuning three strings on a guitar: While the one spiritual string may be in perfect tune, the others, if radically out of balance, produce an equally out of balance symphony, for they are not playing in harmony. The one singular string may sound good when strum alone, but the song requires the other two strings to produce the vibratory essence of alignment to deific will. The giving of example is not the best way to persuasion, but the only way. Therefore Daniel shall give to you his example of physical fitness and diet consciousness. But first, is exercise the way to salvation in the mind of God? No, and Paul correctly pointed this out in the New Testament. Diligent attention to exercise and diet radically speeds up enhancive growth and allows one to get to know thyself. It builds confidence and faith in one's self. Confidence is not arrogance, but pure surety in self, and in the long run builds character, and humility. What the are the benefits of exercise, health and nutrition in relation to spirituality? They are manifold. Jesus and the apostles regularly spent countless hours walking and climbing mountains. Daniel had throughout his teenage and adult life long enjoyed long walks, for it provided many things. One of which was the opportunity to think and analyze all aspects of life without the distractions of the noise of civilization and mortal pursuits; a chance to turn inward, while in a form of philosophical prayer and discovery. Just as the spiritual mind requires exercise, so too does the intellectual and physical body require the same, for they are all interrelated. The significant reason one is inclined to continue exercise after becoming "in shape" is the natural high it produces. Few sensations match the endorphine released sense of exhilaration after a 30 burst of strenuous, physical exertion. It releases all worries, stress and hinderances of self; it is a natural drug, and the aftereffects can last days after a session, particularily if very intense. Of course, diet is interrelated to exercise, for proper food intake is the fuel of the body. Modern diet of advanced civilization leaves little to be desired. Therefore supplement with plentiful quantities of multivitamins. Always be sure to get adequate portions of protein. Always be sure to be properly hydrated with generous quantities of fluids and water. Too many in our society ignore the fruits and vegetables and natural sources of nutrition, and prefer Big Macs, Whoppers and other nutritionally bland sources of digestive intake. But for maximum health, these must be avoided. The biggest enemy (or at least one) is the television set; it is harmful to not only the mind/thought process, but severely hampers spiritual growth. It restricts wisdom and intellectual growth. There has been an alarming surge in obesity over the past decade or two, and the television-watching-snuggling-on-the-couch behavior of the populace is much responsible. On average Americans watch 4 hours a day in front of the TV set, and what does that give them? Short-term entertainment and sensationalistic sound bites? What better time that could be spent reading, or on the internet in search of knowledge, or in the case relevant to the discussion, the opportunity to engage in productive exercise! Too many give lame excuses as to why they cannot engage in even 2 hours a week getting in shape, but that's all it is: EXCUSES. Like everything else, it can seem difficult at first and requires a plunge, but the rewards are extraordinary. Like the parables of Jesus concerning the planting of the seeds of the kingdom of heaven, it is the initial planting of the seeds of fitness which give us the most difficulty. Most do not realize the end reward, nor progressive benefits in the process, therefore focus on the avoidance of the pain of planting the first seeds. But is it not through suffering that we are made perfect? You bet it is. A set of push-ups until failure certainly can seem painful, as can an economic recession in society; yet it is the very pain of recession that are sown the seeds of future growth. Growth does not occur by stagnation, fear and maintanance of the status quo, for it requires change, and change necessarily involves pain. And Daniel shall now give you his example. In my late teens I regularly exercised, jogging long distances and performed general calisthenics, such as push-ups. This activity allowed me to grow by leaps and bounds, both physically and spiritually. Occasionally I would backslide and become out of shape, and during such times I became depressed, bitter, listless and unspiritual. The initial motivation was, however, not health, but body image. While this was not implicitly the best motive, it began a substantial era of growth and adulthood of superfitness. After the 1991 Near Death Experience, now empowered with a strength and discipline of mind far exceeding most humans, thereby undertook the goal to become as muscular and physically powerful as effort and time would permit. In fact, such was my zeal and effort toward pumping iron and pushing the limits, I consistently surpassed the lazy efforts of fellow bodybuilders in the gym, with such intensity I would half the time time leave the gym and throw up. To attain such a level of fitness it was necessary to have a strong underlying motive based on desire. At first my motive was negative: due to insecurity based on body image as the skinniest guy in high school. Soon, however, I became stronger and more muscular than 98 % of all men. This was the attainment of personal power and self-mastery in the physical realm. For the remainder of the adult life the original motives wore off, and I continued, because I liked it! The natural high after workouts became the motive, as well as the super-human health that followed from such activity. The respect by others also vanquished internal insecurities previously entertained. See, in this state of super-fitness, once achieved, tears down all walls of fears, delf-loathing, and builds a confidence leading to self-respect. (And of course, earned muscles earn the respect of others, because it is due to hard work.) However, ironically, by the time of angelification of Daniel in 1999 I seemed to temporarily abandon weightlifting, and lost 30 pounds of muscle. This is natural and to be expected, given the nature of the new-found reality of existence. My molecular structure seemed to undergo a transformation which would ensure perfect health. But did this mean I would never have to exercise again? No. For by early 2001 the body was screaming out to be exercised, and it seemed the more I got out of shape, the less angelic powers I could employ, for the body/mind/spirit balance had become out of kilter. Therefore starting in April 2001, this embodied angel once again restarted a physical fitness program to regain what was once lost; superhuman fitness to correspond to supernatural fitness. It would only take 2 months of diligence to arrive at the previous state, and would thereafter reach new heights. I hope you are one willing to take the effort to do the same. So be strong and make your motive be: "No pain, no gain." God bless, and peace, from an angel with you until the end of the days, Daniel P.S. I encourage all readers who desire advanced spiritual knowledge to not resrict themselves to the Bible alone, but look into further insights into God and Christ. The "Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi is one I recommend. (Written a century ago, transcribed from the Akashic records, or the Books of God's rememberance) The other, which unfortunately contains some errors but is generally accurate, is the 1955 book, "The Urantia Book" It is more than 2000 pages long, and VERY insightful into the spirit realm, how it corresponds to mortals, earth life, and deals extensively with the life of Jesus. Though recommended by Daniel, it is not the whole truth, and contains certain, erroneous concepts. Only you, after reading it, can determine this. It is also quite advanced in various concepts, which will cause it to be dismissed by certain religious types, i.e. fundamentalists. (lol) Daniel's book is of course inspired, but even if it reached 5000 pages in ten years, could never embody the whole mystery and truth of God, for truth cannot be packaged and organized. By the way, whenever I get a critic of Daniel's message and identity, who lives here in Boise (But first conversing on the internet), I give them a challenge: I tell them, "OK, so you do not believe I am an angel, etc. Why don't you then then tell me the church you will attend, and at what time, and I shall show up and transfigure in the magestic and indescribable glory of an embodied angel God has allowed me to dispense?" Then I will demand that he (the critic) must, after witnessing the spectacle, convey the visual and spiritual experience, in writing, so that readers (such as this website) may know they have been a witness. What is the response from such people after asking them to meet me in a church, and risk thereafter their credibility in coming forward publically with a description of angelified Daniel? 100% of the time thus far I never hear from them again. Would you publically come forward after witnessing an angel? Of course you would NOT. Your dreams are personal and private, are they not? Would you go on national television to describe them? I thought not. I hope now you understand the reality of the situation. In any case realize I shall no longer entertain the evil demnds of an evil and adultrous generation who seek signs as "proof" of my identity as an angel and Daniel, for words, deeds and fruits are sufficient.
