我原本希望這本書是關於珍妮對聖經時代的通靈知識。相反，這本書基本上隻是她在重複聖經所說的話。這本書中幾乎沒有她的預言，而且大部分內容已經在她的前幾本書中描述過了。對於那些尋找聖經時代通靈知識的人，請查看“埃德加·凱西的耶穌故事”。我認為珍妮深深地沉浸在她的宗教成長中，這幹擾了她接受可能與她從小就相信的敘述相矛盾的幻象的能力。在我看來，凱西是一個更可信的通靈者，因為他在恍惚狀態中聲稱的話違背了他自己意識的編程/成長/願望。

凱西說耶穌是作為艾賽尼派教徒長大的，而狄克遜則說耶穌拒絕艾賽尼派的意識形態，認為它過於嚴格，因為“人應該快樂”（71）。更有可能的是，狄克遜本人也認為艾賽尼派的意識形態過於嚴格。至於耶穌認為人應該快樂，我並不確信他是這樣認為的，因為他宣揚與所有人分享一切，而這並不一定會讓人更快樂。艾賽尼派剝奪自己性生活和食物的方式實際上更符合耶穌剝奪自己金錢和物質財富的理念。

除了艾賽尼派、法利賽人和撒都該人之外，珍妮還描述了另一個被稱為狂熱分子的群體，他們聽起來像右翼恐怖分子（72、75）。珍妮說耶穌也不是狂熱分子。 “有人可能會說，法利賽人是猶太教的立法者，撒都該人是猶太教的執行者，文士是猶太教的司法者”（74）。

她的這個預言完全錯了：“尼克鬆總統將因他從貪婪的黃金操縱者的手中奪走美元的勇氣而被人們銘記，貪婪的黃金操縱者利用這一程序來達到自己的目的”（171）。尼克鬆因水門醜聞而被人們銘記，沒有人對放棄金本位持積極態度。黃金的價值會波動，但沒有黃金支撐的美元的價值也會波動。至少在金本位製下，人們可以把紙幣換成黃金，如果他們願意的話，而現在它隻是紙幣，如果通貨膨脹太多就沒用了。

她預測基督的第二次降臨將在 2000-2050 年之間開始。這意味著隻有敵基督的先知即將到來（47）。

在她之前的著作《我的生活和預言》中，她說敵基督來自東方，我認為那是指中東。但她從未具體說明。在這本書中，她說敵基督將是一位來自羅馬的領導人 (179)。我認為她高估了羅馬的力量和影響力，因為她信仰天主教。

她說 2050 年之前會有神聖的幹預，但不會是在另一位教皇殉難和數百萬人在戰爭中死亡之前 (115)。

她說羅馬人在公元 70 年夷平耶路撒冷是神聖的幹預 (125)；上帝想懲罰他們，因為他們不知道“他們來訪的時間”(126)。像大多數基督徒一樣，珍妮把所有壞事都歸咎於撒旦 (90)，卻忽略了他們也相信上帝實際上自己也做了很多毀滅和謀殺的事情。

“我預見到到本世紀末美國人的生活將發生根本性變化，這將徹底改變我們的生活方式。目前尊嚴和自尊的惡化將使我們在犯罪、罪惡和不道德方麵不斷走下坡路，直到戰爭的爆發——嚴重的全球戰爭——將使我們恢複理智。兩黨政治製度將從國家舞台上消失，並將采取鎮壓措施，我們現在覺得這些措施令人難以置信”（84）。到她那個世紀末，這並沒有成為現實（70-90年代相當繁榮），但對於我生活的時代來說，這聽起來是可信的。

她聽到彼拉多說：“當一個人的邪惡能夠導致群眾毀滅時，多數人就不能再統治地球或教會了！”（49）曆史上有很多次，一個人的邪惡導致群眾被殺。這不應該意味著民主應該結束。一個人的過錯意味著非民主統治。

出於某種原因，珍妮重複了她的 p。 49 預言在書的最後，我覺得很煩人。好像她或其他人沒有編輯它以確保沒有

重複？

有趣：

“如果你真的愛你的上帝，你就會立即彼此相愛，就像他所做的那樣，他為他人做出的巨大犧牲證明了這一點”（19）。這意味著大多數宗教人士並不真正愛他們的上帝，因為他們不善待他人。

“當然，有充分的理由說，外交導致戰爭，科學實現越來越大的核恐怖可能性，工業和交通很快就會汙染我們的生活”（50）。

“我們即將發現比我們現在設想的任何發現都要偉大。但科學所能做的事情是有限的，必須控製它的發展方向——否則，我們將以比我們已經設計的死亡裝置更快、更徹底的方式毀滅自己”（169）。

她說門徒都很年輕，尤其是約翰（心愛的）和詹姆斯。耶穌開始傳教時住在彼得家裏。彼得遇見耶穌時大概已經 30 多歲了，盡管藝術家們把他描繪成一個禿頭、留著胡子的老頭（104）。

羅馬官員普布利烏斯·倫圖盧斯向凱撒和羅馬元老院描述了耶穌（27）：麵色紅潤，齊肩長發呈成熟榛子的顏色（栗褐色），但發尾更偏向東方色彩（黑色）。腦袋中間有一縷長發（我想象出《死神》裏的露琪亞）。胡子幹淨、沒有皺紋，濃密、短而分叉。許多人見過他哭，但沒見過他笑。

“大帝國的黃金時代通常隻有 200 年，這種模式在整個曆史中一直盛行。人民從奴役走向信仰，從信仰走向勇氣，從勇氣走向自由，從自由走向富足，從富足走向自私，從自私走向自滿，從自滿走向冷漠，從冷漠走向依賴，從依賴走向奴役；這是帝國崛起、衰落和滅亡的九個關鍵階段”（11）。我認為我們現在處於冷漠階段，而民主人士正試圖將我們帶入依賴階段，這將導致奴役。

隻有兩次認真嚐試廢除猶太教-基督教：“在法國大革命後的恐怖統治期間，所謂的理性正式取代了信仰；以及現代俄羅斯的蘇維埃統治時期，他們試圖做同樣的事情。恐怖統治名副其實。這是一個血腥混亂的時期，直到宗教恢複成為社會的一部分才結束。在俄羅斯及其衛星國，經過數十年的共產主義統治，雖然還存在一些幸福，但在恐怖統治下，這種幸福存在於深刻的精神空虛中。但宗教的源泉仍然存在。正如這些國家的公民悲痛地了解到的那樣，當人們失去宗教信仰時，這種人性和尊嚴的喪失也隨之而來。……我們的宗教遺產的毀滅已經開始，其後果令人震驚：吸毒、酗酒、法律和公共管理的崩潰、暴力浪潮的興起以及家庭生活的惡化”（13）。

珍妮澄清了她對輪回的看法。基本上，她認為靈魂會轉世，但靈魂不會。靈魂（希臘語中的 psyche，拉丁語中的 anima）是人的生命原則。“當它與肉體結合時，它使人成為一個活生生的存在。它是個體的、單一的、精神的，永遠不會轉世到另一個身體裏。它是個人生活的主體。你的“靈魂”是你的意識或身份，它在死後仍然存在，如果它按照上帝的意願生活，就會永遠進入上帝的生命。精神（希臘語，pneuma；拉丁語，spiritus）是指心理活動的中心。它不局限於個人，而是可以永生不滅。正是這種品質被轉世，或在其他靈魂中繼續存在，在正確的時間經曆生命周期，符合上帝為我們製定的計劃，讓我們在人類曆史的某個精確時間完成一項特定的使命”（46）。聽起來她是在說精神和大腦是一回事，但我覺得大腦會轉世是沒有意義的。這更像個性嗎？但個性不是個人生活，即靈魂的主題嗎？在我看來，她是在吹毛求疵，試圖說她相信輪回，但同時她又不相信，在幾乎相同的詞之間做出區分，以達到兩全其美的目的。

我喜歡的名言：

“正是通過這樣或那樣的苦難，我們才得以成熟並獲得智慧。接受苦難是智慧的開端！”（99）

“如果[人們]試圖讓合法政府陷入停頓或強迫其符合他們的想法，他們就會產生同樣的力量和本能，使人們兩極分化為不公正和戰爭的態度。我們絕不能對那些反對我們的人憤怒地前進！我們不是靠武力來證明我們比別人優越，而是靠愛、工作、寬容和慷慨”（89-90）。

“我們如此專注於

我們忘記了公民自由，以至於忘記了最初產生這些權利的更深層次的*宗教自由*。因為持不同政見者和狂熱分子濫用了他們的權利和我們的權利，難道我們要通過限製所有人的權利來回應嗎？！這就像我們試圖通過廢除金錢來糾正貪汙一樣！……我們的教育製度和我們青年的狀況足以證明這一謬誤。隨著宗教的衰落和道德的下降，青少年犯罪和吸毒現象飆升到無法控製的程度。似乎這還不夠糟糕，除了我們最好的學校外，其他學校的教育質量幾乎是每個教育論壇上令人絕望的話題。這些困境總是被歸咎於資金不足；但辯論者總是忘記，當錢少的時候，教育會更好”（82）。

“僅僅譴責或揭露邪惡是不夠的；更必要的是……通過行善來戰勝邪惡”??（83）。

“隨著社會保障、所得稅、政府對商業、工業和金融的廣泛監管、征兵、各種執照和保險法的出現，社會控製的基本工具也隨之出現。再加上計算機銀行、政府文件和電子監聽大軍，我們的反對力量已經擁有了接管美國社會的手段”（83）。

“我們認為自己很老練、很聰明！實際上，我們正在利用自己的才能，通過嫉妒、貪婪和羨慕來毀滅自己”（128）。

我發現了共產主義者的一個有趣的事情：他們希望給所有人帶來平等的動機與資本家積累和囤積的動機是一樣的：貪婪。隻有那些一無所有的人才會想要“平等”，因為他們認為這樣可以讓他們得到比現在更多的東西，而且不需要付出太多努力。那些富有的人不想要任何“平等”，因為這會讓他們處於一種更貧窮的狀態。

我不同意她的觀點：

她把社會的所有弊病都歸咎於魔鬼（90）。

珍妮似乎想要一個符合基督教原則的世界政府，她預測它會實現（25）。

“通過將他的獨生子帶到這個世界上，上帝一勞永逸地強調了基督生命和死亡的重要性”（17）。不，耶穌出生在馬廄裏這一事實表明了他卑微的出身。如果上帝想表明耶穌的重要性，耶穌就會出生在最高級別的猶太人/法利賽人中，甚至是彼拉多或希律的孩子。

她引用以賽亞書53:3-12作為關於耶穌的經文，但像往常一樣，舊經文不是關於他的。這些經文中提到的仆人也被認為有很多孩子和長壽，但耶穌的情況並非如此。

她說馬太福音24說地球將被毀滅（54）。但耶穌也說“這世代還沒有過去，這些事都要成就。”（馬太福音 24:34）而這些事並沒有發生在那一代，所以耶穌的預言是錯誤的。

“生存和幸福的關鍵一如既往：通過善意實現和平！舊的正義觀念——以眼還眼——不再適用。現在需要更多的東西：根據愛的原則采取行動”（55）。不要忘記，舊約中推薦了“以眼還眼”。為什麽它必須是非此即彼？為什麽不能兩者兼而有之？對做錯事的人伸張正義，對沒有犯罪的人給予愛？這是常識，但如果有人需要證據，我們已經看到了縱容的警察、政府和地方檢察官給我們帶來了什麽：更多的犯罪。

在第 57 頁，珍妮與她的和平布道相矛盾，引用了路加福音 3:7-9：“凡不結果子的樹，就砍下來丟在火裏。” （樹木是假先知的隱喻。）那裏的愛和寬恕在哪裏？聖經中一個很大的矛盾是耶穌宣揚憐憫和寬恕，但上帝對那些根本不相信上帝的道德人士毫不留情。這既無愛又不公正。

“激發好撒瑪利亞人之愛的信仰在人類心中已經消退了幾十年，現在幾乎消失了”（88）。聖經中最初使用“好撒瑪利亞人”這個短語的撒瑪利亞人不是猶太人。這就是耶穌寓言的全部要點：一個非猶太人是幫助有需要的人的人，而“信徒”卻忽視了他。（路加福音 10:29-37）

我實際上並沒有讀完整篇文章，隻是瀏覽了一下並閱讀了某些段落。我從圖書館拿到這本書，有點開玩笑，因為我想看看她對 2020 年的預測。然而，我發現我喜歡她的寫作風格，在許多話題上都同意她的觀點。我特別喜歡關於耶穌和女人的章節。

邁克爾·大衛
2024 年 2 月 14 日

我沒想到我會在情人節瀏覽這本書，但我會不斷回憶起波普爾的證偽理論和我的認知心理學書籍。理性的信念往往無法被否定和證實，這就是為什麽我仍然會偶爾閱讀它

這些書籍。科學已經揭穿了大多數通靈者的謊言，但當人們將他們稱為通靈者時，仍然需要有文本基礎。

狄克遜的《榮耀的召喚》是對《聖經》某些方麵的偽宗教分析。然而，對於她作為通靈者的可靠性而言，最重要的是她在書末的預言。

大部分都是廢話。

其中一些精彩內容包括：“1995 年，盟軍將開始集結，對俄羅斯軍隊發動攻擊，盡管取得了所有成功，但仍心存疑慮。” 蘇聯在 1980 年代後期的公開性證明了這一點是錯誤的。更可笑的是，“猶太人絕望地被打敗，幾乎失去了所有希望，但信仰的複蘇激勵了他們，自馬加比時代以來從未有過這種感覺。”

被新發現的種族滅絕欲望所激勵？

然而，在她的預言中，最搞笑的是“又一連串的戰爭將開始……最終將在 2020 年的末日之戰哈米加頓中達到高潮。”（第 170 頁）

簡而言之，她的預言是失敗的。

這本書中沒有什麽特別或聳人聽聞的東西，以前沒有提到過。有很多來自聖經的段落，而且重複的內容也很多。當第一次和第二次提到這個要點時，一遍又一遍地重複同樣的事情，這讓人很惱火！我不會保留這本書。

她所說的最有趣和最深刻的事情之一是 2037 年將具有重大的基督教意義。我們拭目以待。就我個人而言，我認為人類不可能像目前世界各地的情況那樣持續那麽久！

The call to glory Jeane dixon

Speaks Of Jesus And Prophecy

Jeane Dixon First published March 1, 1973  184 pages
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24447295-the-call-to-glory

Jeane Dixon, whose extraordinary gift of prophecy has helped her predict many great events that have come to pass. What sort of future awaits us? A world of glory or Hell on earth-the choice is ours, the prophet insists. Here, in her most inspiring and urgent book to date, Jeane Dixon describes her startling and awesome vision of life without God and sounds a joyous call for revolution, revival and rebirth-a revolution of belief, a revival of faith, and a rebirth of man's affinity with his creator.

I was hoping this book would be about Jeane’s psychic knowledge of Biblical times. Instead, it’s basically just her repeating things the Bible says. There is very little of her prophecies in here, and most of what’s included was already described in her previous books. For those looking for psychic knowledge of Biblical times, check out “Edgar Cayce’s Story of Jesus.” I think Jeane was heavily entrenched in her religious upbringing and that interfered with her ability to be receptive to visions that might contradict the narrative she’d been brought up to believe. Cayce is a more believable psychic IMO because what he claimed during trance went against his own conscious self’s programming/upbringing/desires.

While Cayce said Jesus was brought up as one of the Essenes, Dixon said Jesus rejected Essene ideology as being too strict because “man was meant to be happy” (71). It’s more likely that Dixon herself finds Essene ideology being too strict. As for Jesus thinking man was meant to be happy, I’m not convinced he felt that way, since he preached sharing everything with everyone, and that doesn’t necessarily make one happier. The Essene way of depriving oneself of sex and food actually aligns more with Jesus’ message of depriving oneself of money and material possessions.

Besides the Essenes, the Pharisees, and the Sadducees, Jeane describes another group called the Zealots, which sound like right-wing terrorists (72, 75). Jeane said Jesus was not a Zealot either. “One might say that while the Pharisees were the legislators of Judaism, the Sadducees were its executives and the scribes its judiciary” (74).

She was dead wrong on this prediction: “President Nixon will long be remembered for his courage in removing the dollar from the grasp of the greedy gold manipulators, who used this procedure for their own ends” (171). Nixon is best remembered for the Watergate scandal, and no one speaks positively of losing the gold standard. Gold’s value fluctuates, but so does the value of the dollar without the gold backing. At least with the gold standard, one could transfer their paper money to gold if they wanted to, whereas now it’s just paper and useless if it inflates too much.

She predicted the *beginnings* of Christ’s second coming between 2000-2050. This means only the Antichrist’s prophet approaching (47).

In her previous book “My Life and Prophecies,” she said the Antichrist was from the east, which I thought meant the Middle East. But she was never specific. In this book, she says he will be a leader from Rome (179). I thinks she overestimates the power and influence of Rome because of her Catholic faith.

She says there will be divine intervention before 2050, but not before the martyrdom of another Pope and the deaths of millions in war (115).

She says it was divine intervention when the Romans leveled Jerusalem in 70 AD (125); God wanted to punish them for not knowing “the time of their visitation” (126). Like most Christians, Jeane blames Satan for everything bad that happens (90) while overlooking that they also believe that God actually does a lot of destroying and murdering himself.

“I foresee basic changes in American life by the end of this century that will completely alter our way of life. The present deterioration of dignity and self-respect will lead us steadily downhill in crime, sin, and immorality until the outbreak of war—serious global war—will bring us to our senses. The two-party political system will vainsh from the national scene, and there will be repressive measures taken, the like of which we find unbelievable now” (84). It didn’t come true by the end of her century (the 70s-90s were quite prosperous), but it sounds believable for the times I’m living in.

She heard Pilate say, “When the evil of one man can lead the masses to destruction, then no longer can the majority rule the earth or the Church!” (49) There have been many times throughout history when the evil of one man has led to masses being killed. It makes no sense that this should mean democracy should end. One man being at fault implies non-democratic rule.

For some reason Jeane repeats her p. 49 prophecy at the end of the book, which I found to be annoying. Like she or no one else edited it to make sure there were no repetitions?

Interesting:

“If you really love your God you will instantly love one another as He did and proved by His great sacrifice for others” (19). This means most religious people don’t really love their god since they don’t treat others with kindness.

“Surely there is a sound basis for saying something is wrong with diplomacy that leads to war, with science that achieves greater and greater possibilities of nuclear horror, with industry and transportation that soon may pollute us out of existence” (50).

“We are on the brink of even greater discoveries than any we now contemplate. But there is a limit to what science can do and there must be control over the direction it takes—or we will destroy ourselves even quicker and more completely than we have feared with the devices of death we have already contrived” (169).

She says that the disciples were all young, especially John (the beloved) and James. Jesus lived in the house of Peter when he began his mission. Peter was probably in his late 30s when he met Jesus, though artists paint him as being a bald, bearded old man (104).

Roman official Publius Lentulus described Jesus to Caesar and the Roman senate (27): ruddy (red) countenance, shoulder length hair is the color of a ripe filbert (chestnut brown), but more oriental color (black) at the bottom. Has a seam of long hair in the middle of his head (I imagine Rukia from Bleach). Unblemished, unwrinkled, beard is thick, short, and forked. Many have seen him weep but not laugh.

“The life of the golden age of great empires is usually 200 years, and this pattern has prevailed throughout history. A people go from bondage to faith, from faith to courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, and from dependence back into bondage; nine crucial stages in the rise, decline, and fall of empires” (11). I’d say we’re in the apathetic stage now, and the democrats are trying to bring us into the dependence stage which will lead to bondage.

Only twice have there beens serious attempts to do away with Judeo-Christian religion: “During the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution, when supposed reason officially replaced faith; and under the Soviets in modern Russia, who have tried to do the same thing. The Reign of Terror was well named. It was a period of bloody chaos which ended only with the restoration of religion as a part of society. In Russia and her satellites, after decades of communism, while some well-being exists, it exists in a profound spiritual void under a reign of terror. But there is still a well-spring of religion left. As the citizens of those countries learned to their sorrow, when people lose their religion, this loss of humanity and dignity is not far behind. . . . The destruction of our religious heritage has begun with appalling consequences: drug abuse, alcoholism, the breakdown of law and public administration, the rising tide of violence, and the deterioration of family life” (13).

Jeane clarifies her opinion on reincarnation. Basically she believes the spirit reincarnates but the soul does not. SOUL (psyche in Greek, anima in Latin) is the life principle in man. “When united with a body of flesh, it makes man a living being. It is individual, singular, spiritual, and never reincarnated in another body. It is the subject of personal life. Your ‘soul’ is your consciousness or identity, which remains after death and, if it lived in conformity to the will of God, enters into the life of God forever. SPIRIT (Greek, pneuma; Latin, spiritus) refers to the center of mental activities. It is not restricted to the individual, but may live on and on. It is this quality that is reincarnated, or continued in other souls, to go through the life cycle at the right time in accordance with God’s plan for us to carry on a particular mission at a precise time in the history of men” (46). It sounds like she’s saying the spirit is the same thing as a brain, but it doesn’t make sense to me that the brain would reincarnate. Is it more like personality? But then isn’t personality the subject of the personal life, i.e., the soul? Seems to me she’s splitting hairs, trying to say she believes in reincarnation and at the same time she doesn’t, differentiating between nearly identical words to have it both ways.

Quotes I liked:

“It is by suffering of one sort or another that we mature and gain wisdom. The acceptance of suffering is the beginning of wisdom!” (99)

“If [people] try to bring legitimate government to a standstill or force it to conform to their ideas, they bring about the same version to force and instinct that polarizes people into attitudes of injustice and war. We must not forge ahead angrily over those who oppose us! We do not prove our superiority over others by force, but by love, work, tolerance,and generosity” (89-90).

“We are so preoccupied with civil liberties that we have forgotten the deeper *religious liberties* from which they originally sprang. Because dissenters and fanatics abused their rights and ours, are we to reply by curtailing the rights of all?! It is as if we sough to correct embezzlement by abolishing money! … The state of our educational system and the condition of our youth should be enough to demonstrate the fallacy. As religion has declined and morality waned, juvenile crime and drug abuse have soared beyond control. As if that were not bad enough, the quality of education in all but our best schools is the subject of near despair in every educational forum. The dilemmas are always blamed on lack of funds; but the debaters always forget that there was better education when there was less money” (82).

“It is not enough simply to denounce or expose evils; it is even more necessary . . . To overcome evil by doing good” (83).

“With the advent of Social Security, the income tax, extensive Government regulation of business, industry, and finance, the draft, licenses of all kinds, and insurance laws came the basic tools of social control. Augmented by computer banks, Government files, and an army of electronic snoopers, there are already in existence the means for our opposing forces to take over American society” (83).

“We think we are so sophisticated and clever! Actually, we are using our talents to destroy ourselves through jealousy, greed, and envy” (128).

An interesting thing I realized about communists: their desire to bring equality to all is motivated by the same thing which motivates the capitalists to accumulate and hoard: greed. It’s only those who have little who want “equality” because they think that that will get them more than they already have, with less effort involved to get it. Those who are wealthy don’t desire any “equality” which puts them in a state of having less.

I disagree with her here:

She blames all of society’s ills on the devil (90).

Jeane seems to want a one world government aligned with Christian principles, and she predicts it will be so (25).

“By bringing his only son into the world in a stable [God] emphasized once and for all the importance of Christ’s life and death” (17). No, the fact that Jesus was born in a stable shows his humble origins. If God wanted to show how important Jesus was, Jesus would have been born among the highest ranking Jews/Pharisees, or even be a child of Pilate or Herod.

She quotes Isaiah 53:3-12 as being about Jesus, but as usual, the old scriptures are not about him. The servant mentioned in these verses is also said to have many kids and a long life, which is not true of Jesus.

She says Matthew 24 says earth will be destroyed (54). But Jesus also says “this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” (Matt 24:34) And they didn’t happen in that generation, so Jesus’ prophecy was false.

“The key to survival and well-being, is the same as it always was: Peace through goodwill! The old idea of justice—an eye for an eye—is no longer applicable. Something more is needed now: action upon the principle of love” (55). Let it not be forgotten that “eye for an eye” was recommended in the Old Testament. Why does it have to be either/or? Why can’t it be both? Justice for the wrongdoers and love for those who have committed no crime? It’s common sense, but in case anyone needs proof, we have seen what permissive police, government, and district attorneys gets us: more crime.

On p. 57, Jeane contradicts her peace preaching to quote Luke 3:7-9: “Every tree that is not fruitful will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” (The trees are metaphors for false prophets.) Where’s the love and forgiveness there? And a big contradiction of the Bible in general is Jesus preaching mercy and forgiveness, but God showing no mercy on moral people who simply don’t believe in god. That is both unloving and unjust.

“The faith which inspired the love of the Good Samaritan has been waning for so many decades in human hearts it has now all but disappeared” (88). The Biblical Samaritan which started this “good Samaritan” phrase in the first place was not Jewish. That was the whole point of Jesus’ parable: a non-Jewish person was the one to help a man in need, while the “faithful” ignored him. (Luke 10:29-37)

I didn't actually read the whole thing, but skimmed it and read certain passages. I got this from the library as a bit of a joke because I wanted to see her predictions about 2020. However, I found that I enjoyed her writing style and agreed with her on many topics. I especially liked the chapter on Jesus and Women.

I didn't expect I'd spend my Valentine's scanning through this book, but I'd continually recall Popper's theory of falsification and my cognitive psychology books. A rational belief is often resistant to disconfirmation and verification, which is why I'd still occasionally read these books. Science has already debunked most of these clairvoyants as fake, but there still has to be textual basis for one to refer to when calling them out as such.

Dixon's Call to Glory is a pseudo-religious analysis of certain aspects of the Bible. Most important with respect to her reliability as a psychic, however, are her predictions near the end of the book.

For the most part, they were trash.

A few of these gems include: "In 1995 great allied armies will begin the buildup to strike at the Russian forces, apprehensive despite all their success." This was proven to be wrong with the USSR's glasnost of the late 1980s. More risibly, "The Jews, hopelessly outnumbed and near the end of all hope, are galvanized by a resurgence of faith, unfelt since the times of the Maccabees."

Galvanized by a newfound desire for genocide?

Among her predictions, however, the peak of comedy lay in the declaration that "Another series of battles will begin ... will culminate [in] the year 2020 in the apocalyptic battle of Armaggedon." (p. 170)

In short, her predictions were duds.

1st Read: December 12, 2013 - December 23, 2013

There is nothing too special or sensational in this book which hasn't been said before. There are a lot of passages from the Holy Bible and quite a lot more repetition. It makes for an annoying read saying the same things over and over, when the point was taken the first and second times! I will not be keeping this book.

One of the most interesting and profound thing she had to say was that the year 2037 would be of great Christian significance. We will have to see. Personally, I cannot see mankind lasting that long as the way things are presently throughout the world over!
