The Second Coming

by Dan Carter


Hi everybody.

My name's Joshua.

I've come here to announce a big change on the horizon.

You know what I told you the last time: how everything would be great - well that day is coming.

First off...

I'd like to talk to you directly.

I've been sent to this plane at this present time because of a shift I'm sensing.

Energies are aligning.

Hearts are opening and no one is in big trouble.

The earth is talking.

I've even sensed it shoot its liquid magma up into the sky; but the sky is blue. Always. Because we've harnessed it successfully, all of us, with our prayers, and with our hearts combined, into one - the truth shall set us free.

I'll ask you just one thing, to hear my voice, for the last time. I'm descending on earth only to bring you back up.

And I truly hope it sticks this time.

We can't afford to lose.

Emma has me on radio speaker so you can all listen.

We better get a move on and we just have to make it. Think posi-tive - you know the stairs at the end of Langley road - take them. Walk on top of them, not beside them - or else you'll be stuck here forever.

I mean it: take them.

You'll be sorry if you don't.

Two stairs.

They're both golden. If you take the right then that means you're a boy; the one on the left is for girls but all lead to the same place.

Over there we'll meet. I'm not tall.

Some, say a midget.

You take the stairs and at the end of it you'll find two doors just like two bathrooms. One male. One female - if you get it mixed up just jump on the other side - no problemo - but if you do go through the wrong door then Mr. angry is gonna hit you with a stick - and that hurts.

Don't sweat it too much though - we all make mistakes - I had to learn my left from my right a couple of times before getting it right. But not left.

Bring in your divine light. And by that I mean don't bring just your head, bring your heart we'll have it checked out if one of the two is out of balance, we do that kind of stuff.

What's that Cromo?

Oh yeah - they need to know.

If it gets resistant just reassure it, it'll understand fine; it's just not used to the change - once you get it to embrace divine love it'll flow naturally - and peace will be like river down a mountain: just fall into place.

The mind then feels taken care of and safe - and can accept new ideas; beliefs, it wasn't used to. And know you won't let it down. So be kind.

You'll gain so much more once you're up the stairs it'll be unbe-lievable. Just close the door on your way in.

Mr. Cromo gets angry.

You don't want to get on his bad side.

He'll smack you right on the head, but apart from that he's love-ly.

I better get moving I don't want my instructor to get mad at me, and don't forget I'll be watching you from here - until then.

Bye.

Transmission out...
