We are here with you now, and we will help to usher in the New Earth, the new paradigm. You will see many strange things on the way to that point, but don't let it disturb you. Let love be your guiding light and your compass. I am Alan, and I wish you well.

This is a re-do and expansion of something I posted in June of 2021. At the time, I liked the verse, but I didn't realize that there was more to say about it.
This verse, which I quoted from De imitatione christi, is from the Septuagint (LXX). In translation it says: "I will hear what the Lord God speaks in me, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those who turn their hearts toward him." This is also the gist of the Vulgate version, which was translated by St. Jerome from the LXX.
But the Masoretic text, centuries newer than the LXX, has: "Let me hear what God, the Lord, will speak; he will promise well-being to his people, his faithful ones; may they not turn to folly."
The newer, Masoretic text takes away everything that I liked about the older, LXX version. First of all, it omits the phrase "in me," which bespeaks mysticism, always distrusted by institutional religion (but very dear to me). Then it (the JPS English translation) changes "peace" to "well-being." The Hebrew of the Masoretic text clearly says, "peace." Peace is also very dear to me, though apparently not a popular value these days, when war appears to be the solution for everything.
"His faithful ones" are actually "his 'devout,' or 'devoted' ones, even according to the Masoretic Hebrew. Lastly, "may they not turn to folly is, indeed, what the Masoretic Hebrew says, but the older Hebrew text underlying the LXX obviously said "and to those who turn their hearts to him," which is the reading of both LXX and Vulgate. I prefer the older reading because it is more positive, as befits a loving God.
And this, in a nutshell, is the bone I have to pick with modern Bible translations. They have changed many things where there was no need to change, except for fashion or socio-political considerations. These changes make the world a colder, less generous, and more warlike place.

We are here with you to help and guide. There are difficult times coming, but it will all be worth it. There is no going back now. This is the time when the New Earth will be built, and it will be the beginning of a Golden Age. Project love, faith, and well-being for all. The fulfillment of your destiny is also the fulfillment of your world's destiny. I am Alan, and I wish you all peace.

There is no individual--we are all one. When this is understood, behavior will change. Separation is an illusion, and what you call civilization is based on this illusion. As the illusion dies, the old paradigm will die with it. In this changeful time, draw strength from all of Nature, with which you are one. What is false will fade away as it is replaced by that which is true.
I am Alan, and I will continue to communicate.

Don't hide from life. You are here for a purpose. Be what you want to see in your world. You are building the new paradigm, co-creating a new reality with many, many others. We are here to help and guide, but you must do this yourselves. By fulfilling your own destiny, you are helping your world to fulfill its destiny. You have no idea how glorious this destiny can be. Be love, be unity, be peace. I am Alan, and I will communicate again soon.

You are multidimensional beings, and you have powers that you don't even know you have. To act ignorantly is contrary to your true nature. To do it because your leaders are ignorant is no excuse. Be your true selves, and follow your true nature and purpose.
I am Alan. Be light, be love, be peace.
