Holy Spirit revelation 2026

Holy Spirit:  Goldberry |  Guests, Hosts & the Holy Ghost 2022 | Revelation 2026 | Tolkien's Holy Spirit 2021 | Tom Bombadil - Evolution 2017 | This really happened ..... During the early morning of Friday, 10 July 2026, the present writer woke with a feeling of happiness and joy, brought about by a realisation concerning the Holy Spirit; namely, that the Holy Spirit had been with him throughout his life, offering assistance and guidance, in good times and bad. The writer was instantly made aware of this fact, and it was a profound revelation. But how did this come to pass? What was the origin and nature of the somebody, or some thing, that had put these realizations and feelings into the writer's consciousness? Was it the actual Holy Spirit communicating with the writer? It could have been, and most probably was, though not in the form of a voice being heard; rather, as a knowing, a feeling, an assuredness that came with the morning. And it was as pro...

Walking

Image
Walk, don't run The writer recently came across an interesting YouTube presentation on the dynamics of walking and how it affects every part of the body in a positive way. In fact, it is one of the core actions of human beings alongside breathing, eating and sleeping. The presentation is as follows: Walking is the only exercise your body was designed for , The Feynman Way , 14 March 2026, YouTube, duration: 28.01 minutes. Another presentation from around the same time offered a similar analysis of the importance of walking, outside of the familiar exercise paradigm. The truth about how much you should be walking , the mindbodygreen podcast , 3 May 2026, YouTube, duration: 41.12 minutes. Both these videos are revelatory. Why? Because, like the issue of eating eggs, the public message in recent years around walking has been mixed. The writer had recently seen a YouTube video by a medical physician - real or AI??? - which spoke of the dangers of walking. .... However...

Introduction When, at the end of November 1986, the present writer finished the one-year full-time Postgraduate Diploma in Information Management (Archives Administration) course at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, he walked out feeling like an archivist, ready to take on the task professionally. That feeling has continued to the present day and will be with him to the grave. Such was the influence not only of those presenting the course - Pete Orlovich, Anne Pederson and assistants ...

Ending of days The writer was faced with personal immortality sometime around the age of 69. Up until that point there was pride in the fact of going to a doctor and the question initially being asked: "What are you on?" to which the response was: "Nothing." That changed early in 2026 when faced with (1) scoliosis of the spine; (2) hernias; (3) high blood pressure; (4) relationship breakdown and stress; (5) isolation and loneliness. All of these combined, with the imminent onset of 70, meant that for the first time, the write...
