The Earth was graced by Ches Gottfredson from April 22, 1931 until
June 19, 1998. "Thanc"-fully, we may continue to know him through his many writings and through his spirit
of Love, Hope and Joy...which lingers still.
WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION By Christian E. Green and J.L. Packer
Welcome to The Prophecy and Philosophy Homepage. It is our sincere hope that you
will find your visit here to be personally fulfilling and rewarding. Prophecy and Philosophy is the title of a three-volume
work by Ches Gottfredson. The purpose and intent of this site is to make available to interested persons Ches Gottfredson’s
insightful and enlightened approach to the topic of personal ontology and related subjects. Since man was endowed with a consciousness
of his own mortality, he has grappled with the fundamental issues of his own being. In a lifelong inquiry into the realm of
personal ontology, Ches Gottfredson has uncovered some profound insights. Initially there is bad news:
“Proximally and for the most past, men are and have been
‘lost’ to who they themselves are: that is, they have ‘lost’ who they themselves are. In being-lost,
they are fallen from themselves into worlds in which who they themselves are is mistaken.” (Prophecy and Philosophy,
Volume 1, pp. 191)
But through the process of dealing creatively with this state of being lost and fallen a person may
possibly get to the good news:
“Without the ‘presently’ ‘impossible’ necessity of ‘first’
having to understand (‘absolutely-totally’) ‘what’ ‘birth’ and ‘death’ are
(‘were’ ‘will be’), metalogical ‘prophetic-philosophizing’ envisions the ‘modest’
‘possibility’ of ‘seeing’ ‘something’ of ‘real’ meanings ‘in’
and the significance of personal existence on the basis of ‘seeing’ ‘something’ of ‘who’
persons are ‘in’ their own essential ways of being themselves essentially. This ‘prophetic-philosophical’
envisioning is ‘possible’ since a person is ‘a self-subsistent-embodiment’ of one’s own care
‘in’ ‘which’ one’s own personal existence is essentially “his own” ‘possibility’
of being himself essentially. Since one’s own personal existence ‘in’ and ‘for’ and ‘of’
being himself essentially is ‘in’ his own care, he is himself essentially a revelation ‘in’ and ‘of’
and ‘for’ and ‘to’ himself and others as to who he himself ‘really’ is.” (Prophecy
and Philosophy, Volume I, pp. 195)
A careful examination of Dr. Gottfredson’s writings reveals that he
has charted a course that, accurately envisioned, may enable a person to find, create, and fulfill their own personal destiny.
It is hoped that The Prophecy and Philosophy Homepage might become a forum for the exchange of ideas, insights, and creative
speculation related to Ches’ work. This site is not intended to evangelize, nor to advance a particular philosophy,
religion, or creed. Its goal is to promote a creative inquiry into the meaning and significance of personal existence. Suggestions

THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY,
CONSCIENCE, AND CARE OF MONTCHESNEY RIDDLE GOTTFREDSON
The title "Prophecy and Philosophy"
is intended to imply that prophecy is evolutionary or progressive, not, however, in the scientific but in the prophetic sense.
That is, it is not evolutionary in the sense of a biological response to a physical environment, but is a spiritual response
to a divine-human dimension of existence. Philosophical prophecy in current but very limited circulation is the next philosophical
generation after the Nietzsche, Heidegger and Marcel era and brings phenomenology beyond a 'man so far' era into the
era of Next Dimensional Man as 'hinted at' by Nietzsche but 'destined' to be reserved for the present time.
Philosophical
prophecy is a way of 'Envisioning' the nature of all of the phenomena Being manifest in personal existence and therefore
in personal ontology, a relatively recent discovery of philosophical prophecy; which includes all of the heights, widths,
breadths and depths of persons most essential ways 'toward' and 'for' and 'in' and 'of' Being-themselves.
Philosophical prophecy refines extensively an understanding of what it Really Is for a person to come into personal existence
and to Really Be Alive by envisioning the place of mortal 'birth' in the perspective of Being Next Dimensional Man.
Philosophical prophecy is infinitely and eternally
involved in essencizing the cosmic nature of Councils in "Heaven" 'deliberations', revealing that in the
Councils in "Heaven" continually and eternally 'taking place' in ecstatic-spatio-temporality the essence
of all of the deceptions of 'the old serpent' is building kingdoms on 'the foundation' of 'force'
and 'coercion', accomplished through 'mind control'. This dimension of prophecy is seeking more and more to
understand, live, and facilitate movements toward a metalogical personal ontology upon which peace, justice, and joy may yet
be more firmly grounded. The
basic point of departure here is the insight that men's essence is in their personal existence.
