Well, it's that time again- the financial report! This year is not
too good. Because of the two issue hiatus we took, donations are down.
We only took in $127.31. Our expenses were $865.67. This left
us a deficit of $738.36.
Personally our finances are a little bit better. I earned at work $9,992.01.
$7.99 more and I would have made an even $10,000! Oh well, we can dream!
Our living expenses were $7,325.39, and this year we have managed to pay
off our credit cards, and are out of debt. We have got a couple of
month's reserve in the bank, but things are extremely shaky at work right
now. One other worker is so irate with me that he walked up behind
me a few days ago and punched me in the back, so we don't know how long this
job is going to continue.
Also, our apartment building has been sold so we have no idea what's going
to be happening there. But we are in hopes all situations will resolve
themselves shortly, and things will settle down.
We do not believe VOICES will be interrupted again this year, like the last.
Things should straighten out, we can only wait and see!
A lady asked an interesting question the other day. "Do aliens just
hop in their space ships, come down to Earth, and walk into human bodies?
The answer is no. It takes a lot of preparation to prepare a Soul to
be a walk in, in another species, even if that species is quite similar to
humans.
First plants and animals have to be taken from Earth and an artificial Earth-like
environment has to be set up somewhere. Then volunteers who are dying
must be selected who have the proper personality. Then, they have to
be taken to the Earth-like biosphere where they eat Earth food, drink Earth
water, watch Earth's entertainments, learn the language and customs of the
people in the area they intend to enter. Then, upon their deaths, they
are transported to Earth, and put in the proximity of an operative working
in some medical facility, and they wait for a suitable body to present itself
for them to inhabit.
Such an operation obviously has to be planned years in advance, are no spur-of-the-moment
thing. An alien doesn't just drop down, say "Oh, here's a handy body!"
and pops in. They have to be acclimatized to our biosphere. It
takes a considerable amount of effort.
