Towards A “Newer” World Order?

(By G. Asgar Mitha – Countercurrents.org) When the white missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They said “close your new-world-ordereyes and let us pray”. We did and when we opened our eyes we had the Bible and they had the land. –Desmond Tutu

Archbishop Tutu was one of those blacks that struggled for S. Africans to get them back their land, keep their Bible and free them from a slavery called apartheid. But the best part is he left them a legacy not to pray with their eyes closed.That is how S. Africans began to enjoy prosperity.

Dr. Samuel Huntington died in December 2008 leaving the world a legacy to debate the clash of civilizations following the US post-cold war victory over the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). His most famous book “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the World Order” was published in 1993 and read by millions all over the world. What will be the agenda of one of the most powerful Empire?

According to Huntington, the world would be shaped under seven distinctly civilizations namely the Hindu, Christian, Islam, African, Chinese, Japanese, Orthodox and Latin American. Thus far the clash is being played out only between the Christian (west), Islamic (Middle East) and Chinese (East) civilizations that are shaping the global economics and politics. All the other civilizations are spectators on the sidelines. (more…)

Finding Self Gnosis

By Michael Jaco – I’ve come to look at all the different religions as holders of sacred truths that can Gnosis 2help people attain profound personal spiritual knowledge or gnosis.

The rub is that they often gloss over these truths and bury the real intent of their spiritual teachers so that you have to have an intermediary instead of finding self gnosis. (more…)

The Black Horse

In the Revelation of St. John, it is written about the black horse; “When the Lamb broke the third blackhorse of revelationseal, I heard the third living being say, ‘Come!’ And I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. And a voice from among the four living beings said, ‘A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley for a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive oil and wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6, NLT) (more…)
