Folks, this is one of those articles which belongs nowhere but in the "gray box". This is to say, what I am about to write is clearly nothing more than subjective conjecture based on personal concern and observation.

I have been watching the news of Pope John Paul II, and subsequent video, and current still shots. Earlier today, CNN ran a 5 minute piece on the history of Pope John. It was startling to view his posture, demeanor, and ambiance from earlier years. If there was ever a person to demonstrate both in action and in view, of the old cliché "you look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders", it is this Pope.

There are several prophecies related to the death of this pope. Some say it is a sign, or tripping mechanism, which kicks off a series of changes. And not all of them good. In this writing I will not cover the four or five prophetic events that have been alleged to take place. I will guide you to our 'prophecy page' for your view: http://www.earthchangestv.com/predict/index.htm

No folks, this simply comes from my heart. I just a sense of grieving of this person. I really cannot put it into words. I've never met him, I know little more than any of us from viewing news events and a few person emails from fans who have just seen him. I guess it could be that I believe Pope John Paul knows a whole lot more than he was or ever will be, allowed to tell. I see such sadness in his heart.

If Pope John Paul II were free to speak to each one of us, maybe this is what he would say:

"I am sorry to all of you. My heart aches as I witness your suffering. I had always thought I could do more, but I have learned, I am not allowed. But I am strong, and they have not won the war. Yes, they have won many battles, and I have grown weak from the tremendous injuries I have had to endure. I know I surprised many of them. They thought I would succumb to threats and powerful persuasions, but I have not. You see, I really know there is God, and I have experienced this in ways I am not allowed to share. I knew from before adulthood, I was chosen for this task, and this task was set for this very time. It is my journey! It is my destiny!

I do want to share this moment with all of you, because you deserve it. I know that you too, have worked very hard in this period of deception, greed, and hate. Yes, it is true, there will be severe solar and weather events to come in this time after I ascend to another existence, the one of which we will meet again. But fear not, this too is part of the bigger plan. It is in perfect harmony and in perfect divine timing. It is part of the cleansing, purifying, evolving, transitioning. It will be those who have become too attached to this period of lost energy, of which I believe who will suffer the most. We have this chance to attune ourselves, to raise ourselves to a higher vibration, to a level which will match the tuning-fork of the Earth and the Universe of which you will soon meet.

Yes, it is true there are some in high ranking places who already know of the coming events. I am saddened to witness their reaction. I was told there would be a possibility the few would come forward and help the world, but this will not be so. They have succumb to their personal fears, and have chosen to withdraw. I do not hold them in contempt. They too are my brothers. It is part of their journey and in perfect alignment with the bigger picture. Appearances may be deceiving. Remember always, nothing, absolutely nothing happens in Gods world by mistake. Often events will appear unfair, a mistake, not suppose to happen. It is of this uncertainty and apparent duality which is the foundation of "our personal journey".

And now I leave you. I love all of you. I see so much more than your skin, your eyes, your touch. No, what I see is your soul, and it is this which I take with me as a memory and a reality, of a life once lived. God Bless You, and never forget, you are more, much more, than our Earth presence will allow us to see.  Pope John Paul II (a conjecture through the eyes of mitch battros of what might be)

I'm not exactly sure what came over me to write this. This is the furthest over the edge I have ever gone. So again, please remember, what I have written above is pure conjecture based on nothing but a moment of contemplation. Do not confuse this article with the majority of my writings which is based on facts and backed up with numerous facets.  (MB)

Will November 8th, be the significant shift many are speaking of? Could this be the day Pope John Paul II dies? Would the passing of the Pope be the lynch pin of fast moving change in both human shift and planetary shift? Does the titled "Harmonic Concordance" truly represent a time of unification, to the point of a measured shift in consciousness? Does this proposed " shift" also refer to shifts in the Earth?

Then again, on November 8th 2003 there is a 90% chance "absolutely nothing will happen". This would be a good time to remind all of us to use our gift of "discernment". Just because I think something might occur, by no means suggest you should. Watch for those who yell "follow me...follow me..." as if they have some secret knowledge no one else has. I certainly do not, and I know of no one person who does. So please, follow your truth, not mine or anyone else. Seek and you shall find. Find What?  Your Truth!

As Pope's Health Declines, His Inner Circle Tightens (10/15)
By Frank Bruni - New York Times

One of the handful who does is Cardinal Sodano, who now appears secure in his influential position a while longer. But in John Paul's Vatican, especially during this unsettled and uncertain period, stature alone does not determine who has the pope's ear or the greatest sway.

According to many Vatican officials and observers, the most powerful figure, after the pope, is someone without the red cap of a cardinal or the responsibility for a congregation, which is akin to a federal department in the American government. That person is Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, the pope's longtime secretary, who also came here from Krakow, Poland, and sleeps in a bedroom near John Paul's.

Over the last few years, Archbishop Dziwisz (pronounced DJEE-vish) has run a steadily increasing number of meetings on behalf of the pope, conveying questions to John Paul and then carrying the answers back. "More and more, he has the responsibility of interpreting the pope's desires to the leaders of the congregations," said John L. Allen Jr., the author of " Conclave," a book published in 2002 that examines the dynamics of power in the Vatican.

Vatican officials talk about who is and is not "liked by the apartment," a reference to the papal apartment and, ultimately, to Archbishop Dziwisz. Being liked by the apartment has taken on heightened importance as access to the pope has tightened. There has been much change around the Vatican lately, and one Vatican official speculated that it reflected the pope's own fears. "There's an Italian word, sistemazione," the official said. "It means putting people in positions while you still have the power to do so."
