My Past Makes Sense Now

For me this level seems to have brought everything in my life together. All my past experiences, which include my former life as a very devout Christian, church-goer, and apiring theologian/pastor, just all came together. For example, when I was a teenager, I recieved some “prophetic messages” from “The Lord” through 3 different people. According to these messages the Church was astray and I would become a “preacher to preachers” bringing the sheep back to Christ. After I no longer believed Christianity (or any other religion) about 8 years ago, these messages seem nonsensical. But in light of this meeting and the Prime Literature it all makes sense now. I now feel a deep-driving desire to advance the “Church of God-Man” and to tell my Christian brothers and sisters about the real Jesus and his real message.
Currently I am an English Teacher in China. My experiences as a teacher here confirms what Mark says about the chosen ones, poverty, survival pressures. I have been teaching English here for 3 and a half years at different types of schools. I taught at a pulbic college, private English schools, and a public middle school. At the private schools my students were well-off or from well-off backgrounds. And at the public schools my students were from far poorer backgrounds. These poorer students were wonderful to have. They were more friendly, hard-working, teachable than the rich students. The richer students seemed less mature because they seemed to have the attention span of young children and always needed to be entertained while being taught. So when Mark talked about the chosen ones of NT coming from poor situations then I understand.
I also understand why the clubhouse meetings should be entertaining/stimulating because some of the most successful English Teachers, in the private schools, I met were entertaining as well as teaching the students. The Chinese students expect Americans to be funny. So they expect that while learning English from American Teachers.
