How small is your circle?

 


Blessed be. 

Velumbound. 


A transmission from Jerome. 


(A lone voice whispers) 


I had a dream last night,

Shall I guide you over its tantalising landscape?


Have you ever wondered what Sin looks like in its corporeal form?


Ever wondered what shape it will take?


Are you stalked by it?


Something strange beyond the norm? 


I pondered all these questions before I retired to bed.


The feeling in the last few weeks, of being stalked by unseen eyes, was compelling.


Like I was been observed with sinful primordial orbs.


Here is the dream

____________


As I awoke within a dream

I was surrounded by swirling grey smoke


A strange sensation of someone watching 


Just hidden in the smog


And then a soft voice suddenly spoke


As it talked

A woman in a beautiful white dress appeared


From within the fog


She was quite beautiful and elegant, and as she walked


A huge circle of slithering snakes suddenly appeared


Forming an undulating circle around her feet


The circle of snakes surrounding her ankles were probably only 3 feet away


From reaching her


And as she walked and met other strangers in my dream


The Voice still

Whispered


Watch


The circle got smaller, and sometimes the snakes reached her feet and bit her ankles


She never felt it, for she showed no emotional response


As the snakes struck from so many angles 


Then all the snakes seemed to swirl in a crazy, frenzied undulation 


As if following the drumbeat of a strange conductor


Then the voice spoke

Again


The snake's, Jerome, represents Sin in all its many different forms


Of ruination 



Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth


The different coloured snakes and sizes represent the different levels of each sin 


I have mentioned 


The circle around you all 


Born on Earth 

Has always been three feet 


And as you are tempted to do wrong, immoral acts 


By people or things 


Linked to new experiences or sensations


The circle grows smaller, and the snakes can then bite 


The person never feels it, for this happens in the Aluna world


The spirit realm


Slowly poisoning your souls with temptations, hypnotic nectar 


To then commit more wrongdoing 


Moving up to the next level of sin


As time passes, Sin's poison slowly starts to corrupt the host 


As their spiritual barriers are corrupted and lowered 


The larger snakes suddenly appear like an unwelcome ghost 


Now no longer separated by the circle of 3 feet 


And as I looked on 


A huge multicoloured python appeared in the mass of undulating creatures and looked right at me


Swaying left to right

And then disappeared where it came from


As it 

I could no longer see


What keeps them at bay

You may ask


Sin is everywhere in your world


It has corrupted so many, and many do not even know 


As new evil intentions and emotions unfurl


The crescendo of the hidden drummer's beat is so loud here on the other side 


And as we listen and watch


We see so many without a circle being bitten daily, as their lives and others 


Are turned inside out and upside down 


Worldwide 

 


The numbers of the many with the huge snakes coiled around them are horrifying 


As we watch them creating such turmoil and pain to the world


 Shimmering before us


From the unknown to powerful men and women 


Who, in turn, seduce people


The scenery is always terrifying 


Especially 

Ordinary people 


Who, when seduced by the corrupted many 


Are in turn programmed to become evil and judgemental 


Opening the dark doors to hatred and jealousy 


And so their circle also reduces

And Sin moves ever closer with new energy


To introduce the host to the old eternal adversary


Whose name

I'm not allowed 

To say


And so to answer that question

On your mind


What keeps them at bay


Well, that's easy 


Faith, kindness, compassion and love are the only answers


For when you are born

The distance is always 3 feet


That is the Universal Law 


For

Your purity keeps them at bay


For you vibrate at a higher frequency 


But as you absorb the world as you slowly age and new people or experiences 


Come your way


The circle beyond the three feet comes alive


And Sin awakes, and the Great Game begins


As the invisible Snakes

Start to sway


With

Temptation raising its seemingly soft hands and trying to garner your attention


Money, Fame, Sex and Power are its ultimate cards 


Which leads to seven of the most deadly sins 


Beyond your comprehension 


But you must vibrate at a lower frequency to enable Sin to get closer


And take over


But the higher the vibration 

The bigger the distance between Sin and the person


No one is pure, though

Everyone sins and gets bitten sometimes


The trick 

If there is one 


Is to occasionally only get bitten by the smaller snakes before you do something dangerous


That your soul knows is simply forbidden 


Only Jesus was pure and never got bitten 


Even though the circle surrounding him was so huge


It looked like an ocean of undulating snakes of immense sizes and colours 


As we watched him battle evil from within here

Without a hint of fear


The voice stopped


So

Now, as I looked at the lady in white

Before me


Who seemed to kneel and pray, and the circle between her and the snakes


Suddenly grew larger 


Pushing the snakes back and seemed to quiet them down


She then embraced two new strangers with familiarity and emotional love 


Who smiled back as they embraced her


All their circles grew again


Pushing the sinful circle of undulating colourful strands of darkness


Further back


Well... I must be going

And as I looked


The voice took the form of an old lady and smiled as she disappeared into the swirling flux 


Along with the lady in white and the now sleeping throng of coloured snakes


Before the old lady disappeared, these were the last few lines we shared 


Which she said to recount for the inquisitive


If they ever appeared 


When you all think of the world today


With the growing lack of kindness, compassion, love and faith


With the ever-growing darkness


Does it now make you wonder 


How many are now without a circle helping to separate them from sin’s 


Many hungry snakes


And now

How many have huge serpents


Coiled around their corrupted souls as they commit such unimaginable atrocities 


When they are awake


World war could be on the horizon


Jealously

Racism 

Manufacturing of drugs to destroy people's purity


Trafficking of children

Wealth as control and so much more 


I cannot speak of 


But all things to blacken the soul


The world you live in now is awash in so much Sin.


And the voice stopped


So in closing


I wonder if you could see your own circle – how close would it be?


Would it be close enough for Sin to bite, and how big could the serpents be?


There are so many levels of sin


All humanity sins

For only we 


The Blessed few are contacted to hear or see


For no one is truly pure

It is why He came 


So long ago.


As I leave

Sow kindness whenever you can. 


Compassion and gratitude, when possible. 


Help, when the time appears, and just send out love, when she seems needed,


The first thing I did when I woke was to pray.


Anything of a higher vibration to help to push the circle back.


She said to share this

So here it is


Someone, somewhere, might need to know this before their circle disappears and Sin swallows them whole and they are totally corrupted.


I hope I haven’t frightened you, but sometimes some messages are needed to shock the system.


To help renew and build a new way 


To show evil 

Your resistance 


I hope you try to do some of the above I have mentioned


Vibrate Higher!


Sow kindness when you can. 

Compassion and gratitude, when possible. 


Help, when the time appears, and just send out love, when she seems needed, and above all


Keep up and strengthen your faith


Your friend who visits the other side for an occasional crazy ride


Jerome
