I love Crestone so much. The people there are so kind and considerate of one another.

This is a NWO HQ ran by globalist Strong. People are being sucked into believing Global Warming so this man and many others can rule the world. It is sickening. Read the book Creature From Jekyll Island as a start. There is much more but at least it may open your eyes to these cruel and sick people's MO.

When you are staving in the near future once they have collapsed the system I suggest people go to Crestone and knock on these freaks doors.

IMAGINE A WORLD…….

[Exhale; Eyes Closed Slightly]

GONE IS: the greed;

the ‘battle of the wills’;

judgmental anger;

hating;

resentment;

misunderstandings;

blaming;

high expectations…..

[Inhale; Eyes Opened Wide]

IMAGINE A WORLD WITH: glowing happiness;

Positive vibrations flowing between every being;

Unconditional love;

Selfless godly vows inside all;

Stress-Free and Care-Free

And time is of no essence.

IMAGINE A CLEARING BETWEEN STORYBOOK HUGE TREES:

Brightly colored flowers and waterfalls flowing over many landscapes;

Vibrating colors in the many rainbows in the sky;

Gardens filled with abundant vegetables and fruits;

Softened self reliant hearts bubbling with miracles.

IMAGINE A CIRCLE OF PEOPLE FROM ALL DIFFERENT RELIGIONS HOLDING HANDS:

Christians worshiping and praying with unconditional love instilled by God’s graces,

While on pilgrimage between their richly decorated churches;

Buddhists getting supreme realization of self, with an enlightened spiritual awakening,

Trying to be free from the inner spirits endless cycle of birth and death;

Native American Indians with colorful feathers, dancing to a pow-wow beat,

Connecting with the animal and land spiritual energies;

Islamics bowing to their black meteorite stone temple,

Praying for peace;

Jews worshipping mysteriously while locked into history,

Wearing a forever badge of blame;

Shintoists myths honoring their past,

While worshiping their originated rich intricate shrines in natural splendor;

Taoists teaching virtue, righteousness, subservience,

If only all had a piece of their humility;

Hindus dissolving the caste system,

To evoke peace, openness, and humbleness;

Tibetan Lamas cultural treasury of historical tombs,

Teach the true strengths of our inner souls;

ALL SIMPLISTICALLY FOCUSED ON A PEACEFUL PRESENT;

ALL BASIC NEEDS FULFILLED AND STRONG DESIRES WANING;

ALL REASSURED THEIR TRANSITION FROM LIFE TO DEATH ALREADY HAS ITS DESTINY;

ALL COMBINING THE STRENGTHS OF EACH RELIGION INTO ONE BELIEF;

ALL INCORPORATED INTO ONE AND ALL;

ALL HUMANITY HOLDING HANDS,

SMILING,

CONTENT,

FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE

WHAT A BETTER WORLD IT WILL BE.

GOD does not need our worship

GOD is whole unto self

for our own happiness

we worship GOD

the only thing we can give to GOD

is our gratitude

for sharing GODs

|Power |Love and Glory

I grew up in Crestone as a "non-religious" person (from 1980 to 1992). I loved and in fact, still love Crestone. The people did tend to be more kind and community minded than in Denver. However, as with most things/situations in life, you will find people who take advantage of the situation. I go back often and have met more and more people like this every year. With the giving nature of the area, people tend to look for a handout rather than a hand up. Living off of your neighbor who is better off is no way to "better yourself," no matter how much you want to believe it. So, my word of caution would be...move to Crestone. It's an amazing place! but...keep your eyes open (and yes, unlike the article suggests, your doors locked). Open minded is good blank minded is not!
