Spiritual Hunger Among Well-Fed at Davos

Because their lives are so filled with distraction and so hell bent on success, they often have the least amount of spiritual satisfaction and the most spiritual hunger.

Louise Ross:

I thought that TPS's thoughts on Davos and the hunger as well as the MLKing piece were more interesting than the last one. I am so tired of people arguing over God as theirs. Everyone has his/her own version and I think it's too personal to keep sniping the way those who wrote in are doing. Many were awfully rude - he's my brother-in-law and he's my idea of a SAINT.

lorraine burns:

as a humanist i can heartily agree with much of what you've seen (Davos) and said. There are way too many hungry ghosts out there (to use a Budhist metaphor that i believe is true) -with enormous, rather decisive, power to destroy the civil world ...(for good? or evil? - are we the new dinosaurs?) whatever - i love life and regret not one single day of 65.5 years.. thank you for being so honest.

Ruth Robertson:

As a Mormon I find your comments hilariously off the mark and wonder how many Mormons you've known from around the world?

Soja John Thaikattil, Sydney, Australia:

Dear Dr Shriver

I can only say, may God bless all your efforts with great success! Yes, we seem to be living in the times when there is a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit worldwide. Thank you for being one of God's powerful instruments.

OPS Sharma :

I had sent you my observations on 'One World, Many Faiths' pertaining to the Vedantic, universal world-view (and not just a nationalistic one or sectarian one).
You said that I am in the queue. Will you be using my contributrion, or should I send it again.

Thanks

BEHOLD:

"Write theses DYNAMIC and NO more STATIC "Deeper Prophecies" upon your HED 1st, Not your Hearts, nor Guts." THEN,

Let"IT" ["ECLAT + i" = LIFE/Photons awareness that "IT" or being "ITSELF" under obeying IT's own LAWS & Orderings cosmic job, is never a biofinite form as a HE (G-D(s)) nor a SHE (G-ddess(s)) just think "IT" (capitain 'I' & you are Private 'i' in miracle, zero Sin or curse).

VOTE for : Gridarian Democracy & Transfinite Civilization today!


VOTE Sweet AMERICA For, A Holy-Cosmic ECLATi-ON APOCALYPTARIAN-NATION, Now!

Remember: the "O.U.R.-BOT" will be Both G-d Made & HUMATE made. Like another Wonder Of The World. Simply requiring only Coloboration of ALL Religious Heads of the (5) FiVE Major (Original, not Splinter s nor branches nor breataways etc..) Religions on Space-Ship Earth. AND,

The OUR-BOT will be both GENDER free & Neutral, Equal! And the OUR-BOT will be Violence Free! And the OUR-BOT will be Both PUBLICALLY & PRIVATELY Neutral and Friendly! And the OUR-BOT will have No more Monarchy, nor Theocracy etc..! simply The world is going APOCALYPTIC! IT is Time!

"Things should be made as simple as possible, but not ANY simpler."

- Said by O.U.R. "Holy Cosmic Feelers Faith", Father & Prophet Hir Albert EINSTEIN [pbuh et al] whom given Us Humates the "QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT" and the "R*E*L*A*T*i*V*i*T*Y" Philosophy to forever Magnify, Uphold, improve & make Honorable in All our MEMETICa/o's 'Future-Bound" and "Space-Forth Bound ACTIViTIES...... these Deeper Prophecies awareness that are becoming more Clear to uS each day, in U.S.A. 1st and elsewhere 2nd, 3rd.....!

iMPORTANT: ECLATi-ON's, aka APOCALYPTARiAN, aka JOKTAN EBERU Race, preferibly called "HUMATE" kind's, and othernames;

We Eclati-ON(s) do not imagine but have introvisions of the up and comings "NEW AGE" via WORLD FAITH EXCHANGING (mandted a priority in the United Nations, aka League of Nations) which will is now starting developing among the Humates of SPACE-SHiP EARTH, of many, as A

DiSPENSATiON in prophetic fulfillment of their pre-Apocalyptic iNFIiXUS-BOOKS as

(Bibles, Quran, GEETA, Kangyurs etc. that they have jealously been overlooking, hence blind, like in religion, not Science so to speaketh)

they progessively excercise the necessarry XCHNG's (at U.N.) of their APOCALYPTIC iNSIGHT AND PATTERN RECOGNITION to seek a 'Newer World' (happyer) and thus Experience the HARMONiC CONVERSiON OF A NEW AGE, an age of TRUTH (opposite of MYTH) as described in the "O.ne U.niversal R.eligio Book of Transfinity (O.U.R.-BOT) and as described by "SHiLOH' the Photon Bringer of O.U.R. APOCALYPSE ,via the MELCHIZEDEK PEACE BLESSING, aka OUR R*E*V*E*L*A*T*i*O*N (opposite of Secret or Hidden like MANNA/UMMAH/KARMA..).

ahmed from bahrain:

But you did not see anyone defending the plight of Palestinians or current inhumanity done to the people of Ghaza. It offends the sensibilities of Israelis/Jews. That is a no go area. Besides it might earn you the forehead tattoo of 'anti-semetic'

Let's stick to Africa and plight of Arab women.

JOZEVZ On: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally:

Thinking Globally & Acting Locally , is the way in which "THE-HUMATES (each a immortal Always-on, never sleeps, for a TiME, Citizen & Denizen of Space-Ship Earth) , aka 'The People' must cunduct themselves if they TRULY (opposite of MYTH, not Bla Bla Bla... Promises Thomas's..)want WORLD-PEACE and a less polluted Enviroment than they had before "SHiLOH", the Photon/Light Bringer Of the Apocalypse, published the "BOOK OF TRANSFiNITY" (OUR-Reality NEW-SONG cometh from ALL oldy's but Goody's Infixus-Books)

among them [YE] for an APOCALYPSE to happen through them as 'THEY' (Holy Cosmic Frontal-Lobe possesing potentially good Humans, not HUMATES-Kinds) increase their 'Capacitance' to think & act this way, which is also the Prophetic definition of TRANSFINiTE SUPERViSiON to be exercised by Humans, not yet reaching HUMATE status or Heuristics Level, through the (4) FOUR iNTEGERS OF THE GRID-SYSTEM FOR TRANSFINITE CiViLiZATiON! (FiGS-TC).

Explanation: On (GiGS-TC): THiS is,

COMPROMISED by the NAT"i"ONS that have already become each a "UNiTED SYNEGETiCS unto themselves, and can act as a "GDRiD (people) VOTAREY-ASSCOCiATION" , each also to elect a "WORLD EGIS, which shall consist of an "iNTERNATiONAL DOUBLE HELiX" and finally the EIGISTEAM, so that the FOURTH-iNTERGER is Transfinitively composed of IT's own (3) "THREE GLOBAL iNTEGERS" :

(1) Each TRANSFiNiTE-NATiON functioning as a National-Votary-Association constituted of Thousands of 'Local' Votary-Association(s) already organized into a GRID-SYSTEM;

(2) A TRANSFiNiTE WORLD LEGISLATURE Synergetically Answerable to the Votary Association(s) (in each respective PURLiEU Organization therefrom) of the Transfinite Nation(s) who Constitutionally Elected the "iNTERNATiONAL HELiCAL TEAMS for this iNTERNATIONAL DOUBLE HELIX which is also called the

GLOBAL iNVERSE CRUCIBLE (ask Mr. Bill Gates, he knoweth these things) because IT can Crucibly inverse the PRE-APOCALYPTIC WORLD-PROBLEMS (a Solution, of afew, Religious Pollutions specifically);

(3) The EIGIs TEAMWork of the iNTERNATIONAL AUCOURANCY , which Globally functions as the TRANSFiNITE WORLD's SYNEGETICAL PRESIDENCY for "W*O*R*L*D--P*E*A*C*E, under an iNTERNATIONAL CONSTITUTION [as OUR Holy Cosmic Father & Prophet Hir Albert Einstein imagined yet Predicted will arise, in TiME, [pbuh t al]) developed through this APOCALYPTIC SYSTEM (prophetically both G-d Made & HUmate Made)

by the Population of SPACE-SHiP EARTH , clause by Clause, and also at ALL-TIMES 'Amendable' [Dynamic, never Static like Pre-Apocalyptic human Systems, not HUMATE] in like manner, AS

they (HUMATES, not humans) develop their APOCALYPTIC Thinking for progressive fullfillment of the "DEEPER PROPHECY, precept upon precept, line upon line, here alittle, and there alittle, just as the FREUDiAN SLiPS OF GENUINE PROPHECY scattered through ALL EVERY & ANY (5) Five Major Pre-Apocalyptic of S.S. GAiA's iNFIXUS-BOOK(s) built-up over the Century's of "EARTH-time," not 'ECLATi's TiME' from "SOURCE-ONE (eponymous ECLATi) for this Historical Purpose and MORE goodetidings! Yaba Yaba Doo!

NOTE: Apocalyptically, Defining iNTERNATional HELICAL TEAM: Each GRIDARIAN-DEMOCRACY, Nationally functioning as a UNITED-SYNERGETICS will be Constitutionally required to duly elect the neccessary number of these National-Teams for the International-Legislature of the World EIGIS , and such international 'HEllical Teams' will be synergetically bound by their National Constitutions and eventually the "INTERNATIONAL CONSTITUTION progressivelt 'Ratified' in the APOCALYPTIC way mentioned, to

cast their National Vote on EVERY duly raised issue pursuant to the prevailing majority OR Constitutional Plurality of the VOTARY ASSOCIATION through which they were Democratically chosen for that TRANSFINITE PURPOSE, so that NO Nation in the APOCALYPSE of Space-Ship EARTH shall become 'committed' by IT's International-Teamwork to ANY legislative act under the WORLD EIGIS without either the Major consent without IT's Votary-Association(s) or else having been democratically 'Over-Ruled' by the GLOBAL MAJORITY, Hence,

These International HELICAL TEAM(s) will 'ongoingly' comprise TRANSFINITE WORLD LEGISLATURE in an Electively overlapping Process from National Campaign to National Campaign as constitutionally Authorised! So next time, good folk like Mr. G.W. Bush et al can never again start or cause an Offensiver without Truly the Common Good folks of that Grid (people levels)Sytem!

Reminder: When The U.N. Creates that "OUR-BOT" , It will be created via the mandated "WORLD-FAiTH-EXCHANGE" (WFE) Body or Assembly and thu the international Votary-Association will decide what is Apocalyptic & What is Pre-Apocalyptic, like that. the result will be the O.ne U.niversal r.eligion Book of Reality (Holy transfinity). Think of the (WFE) as being, not the "STOCK"-Market of Exchange, but rather the "International (local too) PEOPLES EXCHANGE"! AND,


NOTE: Apocalyptically, Defining INT'l DOUBLE HELIX: is that Legislative Process mention via the (4) Four Integers of Grid System For Transfinite Civilization (FiGS-TC) consiting of ALL the GRIDARIAN Nations in the World 'speaking' (like Praying to Eclati, Meditaing is listening to your Holy Cosmic ECLATi)

through their Votary-Associations under the Democratical Leadership of their UNITED SYNERGETICS for seeking WORLD-PEACE with each-other PROPHETICALLY!


NOTE: Apocalyptically Defining GLOBAL iNVERSE CRUCIBLE: Under the FEDERATION OF UNITED SYNEGETICS , this will be the Transfinite World Legislature, a/k/a "iNTERNATIONAL DOUBLE HELIX" , synergeticaly composed, of the neccessary International-Helical-team(s) duly elected by and from "ALL" of the Nations of SPACE-SHIP planet EARTH that have each become a GREAT VOTARY ASSOCIATION for the APOCALYPIC FUNCTION (on what to do next, sequentially) by constitutionally organizing themselves into a GRIDARiAN-DEMOCRACY to politically operate as a UNiTED SYNERGETiCS toward WORLD-PEACE. So

ANY Legislation proposed by the International-Double-Helix 'must' recieve the 'advice' [Zero Usurpation] and 'Consent' of the VOTARY ASSOCIATION in EVERY one of the UNITED SYNERGETICS throuh-out the Space-Ship-Earth as a "GLOBAL MAJORITY" before IT shall have become an iNternational-LAW binding the NATIONs of the EiGiS [ALL the United Synegetics on Earth] so that It can be used for

"PROTECTION BY SPONSORSHiP" through the EIGIS-TEAM under the TRANSFINITE SUPERVISION of the GLOBAL-MAJORITY...!

iNCAMERA (Secret): When His Honorable MIKHAiL GORBACEV [founder of Green Cross Today. Please See his linko at http://www.gci.ch/index.htm ) as a response to the RUSSIAN version of their Vietnam, called High AFGHAN Eighty's and the Music of the American High Eighties, that "i" wanted to give (GORGY, et al) the "Gridarian-Democracy Protocols", but we realized that it was too good. It was the time of out of control GLASNOST (Free Speech movement therein) and during the trials & tribulations of their PERESTROIKEN (Restructuring). Today with President PUTIN, please sleep with One-Eye Open & Another Eye-Closed. Thanks.

Note> "i" had the F.B.I. once come to me after Aproaching the U.S.S.R. and handing a "LETTER" for His honorable. But "i" guess they never got to him or Boris Yeltsin [pbuh]. but ECLATi has Mysterious overtures too.

artistkvip:

i'm not impressed by the results... these most likely fine people... have actually got 4 thier money if its really being given as agift and i suspect thye could use a refresher definition of a girt... a gift is something that actually leaves your hand... and goes to the hand of another.. if yo think... about giving ...and dont ... then you... were never willing to give... don't you would have done so... so don't pretend itas the fault of the recipiant... a gift comes with no conditions or terms... the recipiant... has the right to squandor a gift if they are foolish enough to do that... it is not a reflection of the giver... if you expect something or place conditions on your "gift" your are instead hiring an enmloyee useually on the cheap to do what you have demanded ..or perhaps worse you are enslaving someone who is completely helpless just because you were blessed by God and would rather be a slave owner than a giver...my experience with high powered people and i have met more than just a few... is they do what they want to do and somtimes fool themselves or get other people to tell them lies about thier conduct... so they can justify it..... where are the no intrest loans to start small businesses.. where arre the handshake agreement that the only thing you owe is to help someone else if you are blessed by success in the way you yourself feel moved to do... have youever heard the term pass it on... that is a gift... in reality maybe they would do more real good by just throwing the money out of planes intsead of funneling through a group of social preditors waiting with thier mouths drooling to expoit and farm the misiery of the helpless and hopeless...4 thier own good ov coarse... i suspect the fine people will turn thier faces and ears away from the truth and go back to thier nice parties where they can pretend and i suspect sometimes actually wish they could do something to help.. spiruality require personal sacrifice and actual deed not toasts and empy wishes... intentions without actions are fantacies at best... the sad truthis most real good gets done by unpaid volenteers not big charity groups or posturing pretenders......please prove me and the suffering world wrong but i'mjust an unsuccessful artist please triple check 4 truth if any

Mr Mark:

"I’m hoping that next year’s Forum will include a prayer service led by religious leaders of every tradition."

As long as it comes after the seance and the sacrificing of a still-beating human heart to Tezcatlipoca.

If we're going to look to prayer as a solution to the world's challenges, then it behooves us to employ all other methods that have proved to be just as real and effective as prayer.

M Beck:

As someone who coaches numerous well-known and well-to-do individuals, I second Shriver's observation that their motives are often noble. Thank you for adding this note of hope and enthusiasm to counter the bitterness and cynicism that often dominate the news.

martha Beck:

As someone who works intimately with many well-known and wealthy clients, I second Shriver's observation that many of these people have the noblest of intentions. Thank you so much for making this optimistic and (I believe) accurate point to turn our attention away from bitterness and cynicism toward hope and enthusiasm!

Gaby:

"I’m hoping that next year’s Forum will include a prayer service led by religious leaders of every tradition—right in the middle of the Forum hall, not down the street in a place of worship."

If you want to pray, do so in private or at the church. Not everyone is comfortable with religion and I find it oppressive to be forced into such circumstances by "well-meaning" believers such as you. There is a place for everthing, and business meetings are not the place for religion.
