In 1934, Edgar Cayce predicted that John the Beloved would reincarnate and that his name would again be John:

In the mid seventies another "sleeping Prophet" Paul Solomon said this:
"He will come then to this land as a teacher, one having acclaim, and men will marvel at his words. He will be called John. The last name is not, by birth, Peniel, but that name adopted for its meaning, "where I met God face to face." And he will use that name in the ministry and will be known of men not because of his use of the name, but because of his teaching and his work among men."

I have been asked many times if I am the John these men have spoken of. The confusion is, of course, the use of the name Peniel. I believe I am the person they spoke of, mainly because of the way the information was brought to me. I ran into the information in a book by Jess Stearn, entitled Edgar Cayce on the Millenium. In this book there is no reference to Peniel, just that John the Beloved would again be called John. This discovery was a huge awakening moment to my past life, and another sign post along the way. I do not ask that anyone else believe that I am John of Peniel, nor do I think it matters. The work I do would be the same, were I John of Peniel or not. I am called to do spiritual work in my life.

Let's look at the word "Peniel." The word has come to mean "The face of God", because the well of Peniel is the place where Jacob met God "face to face". I am a firm believer that all that we perceive is the image or "face" of God. Einstein proved that there is nothing solid within an atom, and thus it is formless energy. If this is true then all we observe is an illusion. I believe this illusion is God and so we are all "part of the image or face of God"; in essence, we are all "of Peniel."

 

Recently I was creating a new CD based on the channeled blog, Now a Word From Our Sponsor.  As I was doing the cover art for the CD, the spine needed an author's name. Typically I would just put John of Old John of New. As I began adding that into the artwork, I was "inspired" to stop and put "John of Peniel" instead. I debated it, and called a few trusted friends to see what they thought about such a change. Each informed me that it was time to step forward into that role. The story of John of Old, John of New, has led me to this new place along my path.  That was the journey to where I was, and now I need to step forward becoming John of Peniel in the present moment, and truly live my work. For this reason I am making the shift from John of New to John of Peniel, in my work.

 

The goal of this new level of work is to reach more people, and affect the human consciousness on a much greater scale. We will be helping people find the divinity within, and step into their role of avatar. My personal goal is that we become a signpost or a resource for your personal enlightenment. Over the next few months you will see things shifting in that direction. I thank you for your support as we take our continuing work to the next level. If you have found inspiration, knowledge, healing, or simply enjoy the work, please share these pages with as many of your friends as possible. Choose a Blessed Life.
