Subject: Painful Awakening; Visionary Dreams Greetings from Daniel, author of Year 2000 Economics/ http://finalbookofdaniel.com This edition contains two brief subjects: 1): Why Daniel has written almost nothing for many months; The painful process of awakening. The temptations, the waverings. 2): Further experience and visionary dreams. ***** More is on the way, in days, and over the next week or so, involving Bush, the economy, and the world etc. But for today, this shall suffice. ***** PART 1: Internal conflicts inherent in an awakening of angelic variety; summer and fall of 2000. The awakening and determination of Daniel as an angel since October 1999 in profound manner and continued very strongly and with die-hard faith until roughly the summer of 2000. Yet because of the astounding nature of the spiritual awakening Daniel underwent, with the tremendous responsibility thereof, a temporary lapse occurred for several months, until winter of 2001. It was a time of procrastination of duties, of internal struggle, and very little visions or angelic experiences occurred. And a test, similar to that which Jesus underwent in the desert for 40 days. But mine has been underway for many months. And they have essentially been passed. Yet I had not yet been fully awakened to all duties to be given until later, in 2001. Although Daniel's faith in God and his identity as an angel and of the identity as the return of Daniel never failed, enormous internal struggle and conflict ate at his soul concerning his duties, as resurrected Daniel, and of the future. Mainly, how would people respond to his message and identity? Surely some would never believe, regardless of "proof" or sincerity. Like the story of Old Testament Jonah, who tried running from the mission the Lord gave him (To warn and prophesy to the city of Nineveh of its destruction, and listen, or be destroyed), Daniel found himself wishing to hide from the present mission, divine duties. For since everything in my life would now hinge on this mission, and would involve enormous challenges and antagonistic responses from certain people, I pleaded to God to help in these duties, and dilemmas, and proclaimed, "My Lord, you I have to withstand awful difficulties, and people are going to reject me. I'm not ready for this! I wish to do your will, but you know full well, my God, that if it were my will, I would not be doing this. I do not wish to be Daniel. Although I am of course flabbergasted at this identity, and profoundly impressed by the wonders you have shown me, and the duty, and the honor, you I wish to lay low; and not look for attention. I proclaimed further, "People are going to assault me, reject and dismiss, and call me crazy, even though my words and deeds are pure as can be, even though you allow me to supernaturally transfigure in front of others!" "You know, God, that I do not wish fame or fortune, but people are going to suggest this. How do I "prove " I am Daniel? Isn't this enough?" "I realize you demand that I spread the word in order to awaken others, i order to hasten the second coming, but there will be severe negative influences; some will say I'm crazy, some will say 'Daniel's an agent of the devil'. If you are going to allow this, my God, give me the strength to overcome." "I can "prove" to anyone I'm an angel by transfiguring in front of them. The prophecies you've given have been 100% correct. What more "proof" do I need, my God?" "I vocalize, but who will listen? I know some will always reject such a situation, but I need to awaken others; my distress is how many will reject it, therefore reject the opportunity to awaken, which is the reason I am here!" I then received a response... "Daniel, beloved, I have sent you here for a purpose, and you agreed to it before you were born. You have shown great ability to deflect and attack criticism, continually. You must continue to do so. You must take honor and accept that many will not believe or take heed, therefore focus the message hereafter to those whose ears are open, for to then you shall bring great inspiration. Daniel, remember, you are the angel of the awakening; the challenges and obstacles I have placed before you are tests, therefore persevere, and your reward shall be great." So Daniel replied, "Thank you my God, for you have strengthened me, and given me the wisdom and courage to fulfill the obligations to serve, and am in eternal gratitude for your boundless mercy, forgiveness and grace and patience; I am yours again." The lesson being that even angels take breaks from God. But always return to serve. Yet a prolonged break, lapse, results in negative consequences. Therefore Daniel practices what he preaches, because I am here to help those struggling through spiritual awakening. God allowed this temporary break to occur, so that I may relate to and uplift those undergoing similar wavering experiences. At the time, I was about 80% awakened as an angel. **************** PART TWO: Further angelic experience, and further dreams **************** One day in January 2000, Daniel felt, through the power of the Holy Spirit, that he was to reach out to a certain person of whom he was to anoint. After some intense prayer, it was determined to seek out this person. So on this morning I walked into several local businesses until this person was found. Then God referred me into a pub, where I identified this soul to be the barkeep, and sensed she was deeply troubled internally. After sitting low-key for some time, I asked to give her a reading of psychic variety, using a palm reading as disguise, in order to get in touch. She had led a very rocky life with divorces and continual hardships.. Although I reassured her of God's grace and to take effort in taking responsibility (because God helps those who help themselves), and that suffering is a natural fact of life, I felt she needed more. So after she departed to serve others, I pleaded in quiet prayer to God to allow me to give her a sense of the glory. So I said, "Come here, I wish to give you something. Hold out your hands, pretend I'm giving you a hand reading, but I will give a charm, and allow you to experience the Spirit." There were others present, so this was done so as to make this spirit exchange appear as a "normal" event. Minutes before I quietly informed her of my angelic identity, something rarely done. Seeing that she responded with an open mind, I was to now to reward her faith. Then I said, "Now, open your heart and soul, and allow it to flow into you." With great might I concentrated the spirit, and with intense release, the Spirit shot into her being, and through her entire body and soul, like water being poured into a jug. This encounter lasted about 7 seconds, giving her all the essence of the angelic spirit; that of unconditional love. After this, she said nothing, and was stunned, taken aback, and stumbled dumbfoundedly to the other bartender, and sobbingly muffled to him, "I...I...just; I just, experienced God!" She sighed. Trembling somewhat, she continued standing in a state of introspection, then the bartender said, "Ah, don't worry about him..." While looking over at me. She paid no heed to his remark, lost in oblivion; indeed, she was incapacitated. This woman just witnessed the power and glory and exotic beauty of the infinite, unconditional love of God. For 5 minutes thereafter, barely able to do her job, she repeatedly gasped in brief, quiet sobs of ecstasy, of unspeakable divine origin, made available through God's angel, Daniel I left shortly after, having accomplished my mission. ******* Divine dreams. ** In the fall of 2000 Daniel had some important dreams, and he wrote them down. They dealt with death, as well as a testing of his faith in God. These were all realistic, in full color, and very vivid. The first began with me back in my old Florida residence with a family relative. While in the house, a very violent storm approached, with impossible and frightening ferocity. Such was the fearfulness of this storm that it symbolized divine wrath; the clouds seemingly possessed the power of the presence of God which seemed to scream out to me, as a test of how I was divinely protected during my sojourn as Daniel on earth, and how this faith in God would be rewarded. A terrifying sensation permeated my relative and I as the lightning-illuminated clouds, infolding upon themselves, sped closer and closer with supernatural speed. As the most wretched portion of the storm approached and was directly above, terrible winds and flashes blustered every which way. Just when it seemed to be the end of the world (so ominous was this conflagration), I sensed my hair begin to rise on the head with static. This was a signal that a lightning bolt was imminently going to strike within seconds. Yet knowing this, I ran and ducked, rolling on the ground until the static disappeared, and bolt came, but it struck elsewhere. Within seconds, the storm came to a complete halt, the sky cleared, and all became dead calm, and the sun appeared. With my relative looking on in astonishment, she said, "Daniel! You escaped death; You cannot die!" Her mood was celebratory and suggestive that this somehow made me famous. From that point I walked out into the street, to the end of the block, noticing many cars parked near a certain house, with many people gathered around and entering it. Curious as to what the occasion entailed, I approached an entered the house, and was amidst two dozen people who were milling about in a solemn mood, most wearing black clothes. I greeted a man and asked the reason for this gathering, and was informed that this was Daniel's funeral; he had been lost at sea, was never found, therefore was presumed dead; drowned. I then realized I was at my own funeral. Somewhat embarrassingly, I addressed all those present that I didn't indeed die, this was all a mistake. Laughing at this predicament, everyone then regained composure, deciding then to turn the engagement into a party. But many were confused, and refused to believe Daniel was alive and conquered death, even though I appeared before their very presence. After this incident I found myself stroll into a gothic, Catholic cathedral. People were sitting in the benches, and was a mass. As I walked down the left aisle and neared the front, a commotion started, and soldiers with rifles stormed the building, halting the mass. They began entering in an orderly but imposing and authoritative manner, and wearing uniforms resembling Russian. Their demeanor was more Gestapo-like, ordering everyone to sit in place. As the soldiers surrounded me, they forced me to walk to the front of the church, where I was confronted by a grotesquely frightening being. He was about 12 feet tall and sat on a pseudo throne to the right of the alter. Far from being human, it looked like a combination of a lizard and octopus, with appendages everywhere. Next to him was placed a screen that resembled a television-like apparatus, which was emanating supernatural vortices and sparks. This being spoke with great fiery and anger and rage, with great authority and evil, saying to me he was going to take over God's realm, and demanded thereafter to be worshiped, by me, Daniel. To "prove" his "godly" status and dominion, he demonstrated to me and all others present, the soldiers, and mass, his supernatural prowess. This being--or beast--then did so with frightening doings, but they were of evil origin. He then said to me with loud resolve, "Now, you have seen my power, Daniel, and what being can show such power, except God? Therefore, you, I command you to worship me only as God, or I will immediately kill you!" For a moment I contemplated his order, wondering if I should play along, in order to save my life, but resolved that I would worship no other god but my God, the Most High, even if it meant dying. I defiantly rejected, "No! I refuse to worship you, despite the power you demonstrate!" Then in anger, to show he was serious, threw a sharp chunk of metal at me with great force, and impacting me, injured me greatly. "This is your last chance," He said, "If you do not worship me, you shall die!" At that juncture, all fear vanished, and I put all faith in God, and yelled back at him, "Never!" He then picked up another larger metal object and hurled it at me with enormous violence, and I died instantly as it tore my body in two. However, immediately thereafter, I opened my eyes while laying on the floor of the same church, but in looking around, I saw no soldiers or the adversarial beast witnessed just seconds before; they vanished. And I wasn't dead. Confused and dazzled, a nearby man helped me to my feet, and I was informed the whole experience was simply a realistic illusion; A test to measure my faith in God and willingness to sacrifice. That test was passed. ****** Stay tuned, more to come... ****** P.S. Instead of orthodox religion, why not transforn yoursel through the Near-Death Experience? You don't have to experience it yourself, but instead read the profound accounts of the after-like documented on these sites? There's a reason fundamentalists despise NDEs: They don't agree with their views of the afterlife, that of punishment and hell, so experience it form the source, from these modern-day prophets: http://www.near-death.com/index1.html and, http://www.iands.com and, http://www.nderf.com --Religions always fail; true spirituality always prevails.... Until next time, Daniel
