In the not-distant future, in the process of routine space exploration,
human remains will be found.  When the remains are carbon-dated, it will
turn out that they are incredibly ancient by Earth standards, indicating
that Earth civilization is not coming at a time when the Universe was
young, but very old.

For those of you that may have had occasion to see Silvia Brown
"infamous" psychic-  may I suggest you spend your  money elsewhere.
Her son also "born psychic & clairvoyant" does reading for $ 150 a
mere pittance for the approx. 400-$ 500 that his mothers charges......
the trouble is that he was not able to pick up on anything of
subssance and all of his advice was comprised of nice and safe
impressions that of of no definition of substance.  When trying to pin
him down on something definite that was the end of the session...
wow whata coincidence!!!!    IF his mther is psychic i can't
understand how she would allow her son to behave in this fraudulkent
manner but then again how many "gifted"  people charge as much as
Silvia does anyway??? She always struck me as a bit commercialistic
but her shows were good and believable....well i bit the bukllet and
found out my gut feelings were right.....moving on depending on myself
more and more...... people are just plain cheats with no morals.

From the point of Light within the Mind of God,
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God,
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Crist return to Earth.
From the center where the Will of God is known,
Let purpose guide the little wills of men --
The purp[ose which the Masters know and serve.
From the center which we call the race of men,
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out.
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Time
The wizard, Haggard, was roaming a North African shore with a few friends
and followers. A young child with striking hazel eyes tugged at the
wizard's cloak. Looking up, she asked, "Master, what is time?"
Haggard was silent for a moment. He then bent down on one knee and scooped
up a handful of sparkling white sand. Holding it out for everyone to see,
he said, "This is time." As he spoke, the wind from the sea scattered the
white grains everywhere until his hand was again empty. "It is subject to
different forces. The time of your life is like the sand - it is yours for
a moment and then it is gone. At once, time is both magical and terrible."
Hazel eyes became uncomfortable and anxiously asked, "But can't we hold
onto it more tightly?" The wizard shook his head slowly and said, "It is
not for us to hold; but not to worry. Time is like the breath of God,
allowing this life to be. It turns us every which way. For now, your
memory is your map of time. A point, though, exists beyond the edges of
your map. When you go there, you will know the secret of time. You will
know that it is not a secret at all, because secrets can be revealed.
"My child, time is like the face of an unusual clock and we are its
hands." With that, he took the little one by the hand. They continued
walking, picking up shells, feeling the wind on their faces.
