VISION: THE SEER SUCKER SUIT

VISION: THE SEER SUCKER SUIT
29Th February 2008

I saw this vision around the first week of February 2008.

I saw busy little lanes in a commercial city in America.

I saw a row of shops, which looked like illegal constructions. These were tailoring shops. They reminded me of the little tailor shops one saw in crowded old markets of Bangkok, Thailand, in the 1980’s.

I saw that due to an anticipated demand some of these ‘tailors’ had already set up shops with which they could make a quick buck.

The shops tailored to the needs of gullible wannabe seers, who were suckers for all things new and novel.

The shops were small. In the front portion of the shop, was a till. No customer could proceed further, without first paying. Beyond the till, the space looked like an optician's shop. Spectacles and a test card with varied photos adorned the wall. Rear-most of the shop sat the tailors, who stitched the seer sucker suits.

Not all shops were occupied yet. Only a few had tailors who had been working, since awhile. The other potential tailors were waiting and watching the others to see if there was much profit in making seer sucker suits. Once they were assured that there were enough gullible wannabe seers they too would occupy their shops, and commence work immediately.

Now I saw the customers trickling in.

The 'teacher-tailors' themselves knew little or nothing about seers, or visions, but now they were presenting themselves to the customers, as ones who had PhD’s on the subject.

From the Internet, and writings of others, these 'teacher-tailors' had copied all things that sounded ‘biblical’. To that they would add their own versions in the ‘practical training’ sessions.

The wannabe seers were gullible. They wanted to learn about visions and all there was to know about seers, in 6 easy steps.

The tailors knew that such suckers existed, so they had designed a seer sucker suit for such gullible customers.

The six easy steps were taught using visualization techniques, and wily ways learnt from witches.

When a customer remarked, “But this technique is witchcraft, I renounced all that when I was born-again!”

“Ah! But the knowledge of the witches, in the hands of the born-agains becomes ‘redeemed knowledge’, replied the tailor, “so ya don’t need to renounce all that knowledge, ya simply gotta use it for ‘Christian purposes’, that makes it OK.”
“Why does what you’re saying remind me of eastern philosophies?” asked the customer.
“Never mind, all that let’s begin the lessons”, said the 'teacher-tailor' who was wearing a ‘lucky' birthstone’ ring on his left index finger.

The tailor positioned his inquisitive customer in a chair that looked like one found in cheap barber shops.

The customer was now handed a cheap pair of underwater goggles and by wily techniques made to ‘see visions’.

NEXT:
I saw that not all customers asked questions. They simply submitted themselves to the ‘How-to-be-a-seer-in-six-easy-steps’ type of course, and seemed eager to wear the custom made seer sucker suit, which each received on graduation.

Upon the seer sucker jacket, shirt and trousers were large squares. At the end of the ‘seer-course’ a collage of ‘pictures/symbols’ etc of that which the customers had seen, (by guided visualization and other techniques borrowed from the mystic east), were sewn within the squares.

The graduates would flaunt their jackets, to the undiscerning, confident that they had learnt all they needed to know about seers and visions.

These would soon set up seer sucker suit shops of their own.
Some would even write books, hold conferences and sell audios/visuals and do all they could to hard-sell the seer sucker suit.
