Spirituality and Religion Part 2 (Literalists vs Mystics)
There is unfortunately one piece of the old Roman Empire still functioning and in existence and that is the Vatican. Holding on to the concepts of command and control of the religious movement you have the pope and a entire order of bishops and cardinals ready to execute the orders of that come down from the Pope. Yet, if we move backward in time we find that this religious order is no less guilty of fanaticism as the current Islamic problem faced in the middle east. That problem stems from the fact that they are taking every thing literally.
In passing on teachings from one generation to another, many times we hide the secrets, especially from those who we feel will exploit them for no good reason. Honestly, we need to stop doing this because many who use these gifts for darker purposes already do.
Also, many of them try to suppress the teachings themselves by encoding them in allegory thus cloaking them from the eyes of those they long to control.
It is an ancient secret to hide your most treasured possessions in plain sight.
So, let's break a few words apart.
In general usage, Agnostic generally means one who believes in a higher power but is unsure of; unknowing. Thomas Henry Huxley gave birth to this term in the 1800s. In doing so he took the word Gnostic and added the 'A' to the front. Thus saying he was 'A Gnostic'. Yet, given that he was an English speaker he had no true idea of what he was saying and gave definitions to the word now truly appreciating the fact that Gnostic means 'Knowing' or 'Knowledge'. A Gnome is a 'Keeper of Knowledge'. So, in modern terms we can say that a librarian is a gnome.
Philosopher. I think we can all agree that philosopher is someone who enjoys deep thinking and searching for the hidden things in the science that they pursue. Yet, Philosopher actually has an underlying meaning. A philosopher was a high ranking member of specific mystery schools. Translated the term in Latin means "Lover of Sophia" or since Rome has gone to great lengths to hide who Sophia truly is; the definition became "Lover of Wisdom".
As a high ranking member of a mystery school I am going to take all of the teachings and write them down. This way we can maintain the knowledge that we have already discovered without going through the same process over and over again. Paul complained about repeatedly going through the same process over and over again in a letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 3:1 - 3) Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
So to protect our knowledge, or information I am going to encode it or hide it. I am going to put it in front of you so that "those who have eyes see and those who have ears hear" what I am saying while the rest are kept in darkness.
There is only one problem with that, those kept in darkness outnumber those who are in the light and they eventually will get their hands on our codexes and begin to read them and when they do, they will take our words at face value. Not realizing that we are actually speaking in code and being allegorical regarding our statements. They will build and entire faith and religious system around our teachings and in the end they will kill us as heretics and offer us as sacrifice to their one true god.
Alas, when it is over with the literalists won out and the mystics ended up in hiding.
The literalists fight with one another and squabble over words while the mystics acknowledge that nothing taught is wrong. That all possibilities are actually truth to the one who perceives the truth. Thus the mystics, the Gnostic's don't squabble and fight with one another. Well, our initiates do but that is because they are still of the mind of man and have not yet adopted the spirit of Sophia.
In Revelations 17:3 - 6 it reads Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
Oh the allegory of this statement. 7 Heads = 7 Continents; 10 Horns = 10 Empires or powers; The dress of the woman represents wealthy as does the golden cup. The MYSTERY isn't really a mystery unless you understand that the origin of all religions comes from a mystery school. Thus the author is saying explaining in general terms the teachings of the mystery school. Also that those who follow this school of thought will kill others who comes from different mystery schools and teach any thing different than her teachings.
Who is this whore that is drunk on the blood of saints? She is none other than the Roman Catholic church and ALL churches that splinter off of her. The number of people the popes have sentenced to death and the campaigns that have been launched in the name of the cross. The blood could fill the rivers of Europe.
By ALL churches, I do mean all that profess Christianity. They are all daughters of the one whore, thus they are the abominations of the earth. They like their mother whore themselves out for money. Those who run these churches are fat from the lambs while the lambs starve and are told to contribute more. They have all prostituted themselves out to the world and become an abomination to the earth. What have these churches done besides take, take, take. If they had any true power from God, why is not that power been turned around to heal the earth, stop the fighting, end the diseases and melt the hate? Because, as Paul wrote (1 Cor 3:3) You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
Look around you. How many different churches with different messages? How can that be unless they fail to grasp and understand that what they hold in front of them are tomes and codexes from mystery schools offered in many different formats. All off them are being taken literally.
Don't you wish that you knew the secret behind the allegorical tales? What is it that was being hidden?

Spirituality and Religion part 1
When you start walking down the path of spirituality you can't help it, you trip over religion along the way.
Religion is a core belief system that has shaped nations, started and ended wars, caused divorces and the list will continue.
Yet, a point in spirituality is reached where you need to ask questions. Those questions, depending on your religion, can determine your answers. Or if you push beyond your religious training, determine your depth of freedom.
So, one thing I desire to do in this brief blog is to give you a few things to feed upon.
1Q) God is opposed to esp, clairvoyance, clairaudient, clairsentient, telekinesis and a host of other "spiritual" or "spiritualist" powers.
1A) Honestly, we Americans call our dwellings House, the Spanish Casa. Does the word change its origin and meaning? So when the prophets see the future (Clairvoyance) or hear the words of God (clairaudient) or perceives events (clairsentient) why do people claim the power "is of the devil?" Is not all things from the one who created and allows things to be created?
2Q) My religious teachings state that you should not allow a witch to live.
2A) The word has been and continues to be conveniently mistranslated to invoke fear and failure. Many scholars have translated that same passage as "not allowing a poisoner to live."
3Q) All 3 major religions; Christians, Jews and Muslims teach that there is something HIGHER for us to learn. That the BASICS are kept in the tomes they read from. YET, what happens when you find that ADVANCED set of concepts? The instructors of the basics are quick to cut you down. Some of my favorite Christian quotes are:
"To spiritual to do any earthly good."
and
"God doesn't want that close of a relationship."
3A) There is something beyond the basic teachings of the 3 most popular religions. That is what mystisism is all about. All three religions talk abou the mystics. Mystery schools were once established to train the initiate in the higher things of God. Old religions long since dead would teach 1 basic lesson to see if an initiate was ready for the rest of the truth.
That basic lesson was that all your gods and goddess, your Ra, Osiris, Seth -or- Zues, Athena, Mercury are nothing more that aspects of the ONE GOD. When you worshipped Seth, you were worshipping that particular aspect of the ONE GOD. Depending on how initiates handled that teaching would determine what was to follow.
4Q) What if: All three major religions are correct?
4A) If that is the case, then we need to find one piece of common ground to stand upon. That piece would be: "I am the Lord your God, I change not!"
5Q) What if: All three major religions are wrong?

EFAs and Your Health
I am going to go out on a limb here.
There are many many ways that I use to try to heal something before I run in to a doctor. Partly because the pricing has got out of hand. $1000 for a IV, anti-botic and 45 minutes of ER time was a bill I once received for a feral cat bite.
One thing that I do daily is take 3 oils combined and a fourth oil seperate. The three oils that I take combined are Flaxseed, Grapeseed and Olive. For me, it is an easy thing to do, I don't mind the taste or the texture. I fill a shot glass in 3 equal parts of each. I then slam the shot and have a nice day.
The fourth oil I take is Coconut oil. I love coconut oil, it is solid below a specific temperature (some where around 76 degrees) and liquid above that temperature. It will never solidify in our bodies as long as we are alive since we average 96 degrees. I mix coconut oil in with a food like rice for breakfast. This way I get my oils for the day.
What do these oils do for the body? Well, for one they can raise the HDLs and lower the LDLs. They will aid the digestive system in processing food. They can help heal muscles, cells, blood vessles, they can help regulated insulin and blood sugar. They can help boost the immune system. Over all, some oils (not all) are needed by our bodies to function similar to oil in a car for the engine. Without oil, the engine would seize up. Does that not happen to our bodies?
Some have even suggested the addition of sulphur based foods with the oil. When some of the oils bind with the sulphur molecules they give an additional 'pop' to their healing ability. I am not going to name any of the diseases that have been stated to be treatable or in remission when the oils were combined with cottage cheese. I wonder if a certain tick based illness might not be effected.
I know that oil helped my wife out and she now takes it daily. She started having pains in the upper right ab region. It turns out that her described symptoms are common for gallblatter attacks. She had a stone. She started taking large amounts of oil, when the stone passed she was in pain and cried but the next day celebrated her liberty as her body returned to normal. No looking back, she stays on the oils now. They have even helped her lose some weight which she is happy about because they give one a feeling of fullness.
Now, I am not a doctor nor do I claim to be one. I only know that I am an organic machine that should not be eating inorganic foods. That is poisoning my body!
So what does health have to do with the spirit? If you are not of clear mind because you are poisoning your body, how will you be of sound spirit?

FDA says it is legal for companies to poison your body!
As our society becomes sicker and sicker the almighty FDA has approved another way for us to die slow.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22663416/
DON'T EAT FATS is something else the FDA has told us, along with its cousin the CDC and WHO. Regardless that your body requires Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)in order to properly function and heal. Those EFAs are found in oils like Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Hemp Oil and others.
Give you an example of how important they are. I have an associate named Karen whose husband needs to get his HDL levels up. Those are your GOOD Cholestrol. Doing every thing that they could via diet to no avail. He starts using Olive Oil in his diet and the HDL quickly doubles.
We are organic machines. Why are we eating inorganic material? When you do that, it is called poisoning yourself.

Got to love the Universe!
I love dogs.
For many years I would claim to be a cat person until one faithful night years ago when I had this one particular dream. In the dream I dreamt that I was a sleep and that I was awaken by the sound of a dog barking. I sat up in bed (in the dream) and looked around. That is when I smelled the smoke. The A/C unit that was in the ceiling had caught on fire and the rafters and roof were burning. The dog had smelled the smoke and awoke me to alert me to the fire. I awoke in reality to a house that WAS NOT filled with smoke and WAS NOT on fire. YET left an awkward feeling in me. A few days later I made the decision (the universe actually planted more - GET A DOG evidence in my way but I don't want to cover ALL of that) and took the family to the Animal Shelter. After much research (what dogs are good with children) and lots of looking at the available dogs we adopted Jack, a Black Lab/Chow mix that is still with us to this day (Grey beard and all!)
Recently I have been missing an older dog I owned years ago named Charlie. Charlie was a beautiful and loving American Mastiff. Charlie was with us for a few months before he passed away. He was a rescued dog, it was a shock to come home and find him dead where he lay. It hurt deeply to bury him!
In my thoughts and desires to own another American Mastiff, I have also been contemplating getting a puppy. With a puppy I can raise him to my standards and commands. I normally prefer to rescue a dog, yet many of them are set in their ways and not impossible to teach - just difficult to teach.
Well, these thoughts have been feed into the universal stream for about 3 or 4 months now. I never placed an acceptance or denial on it and really was not paying it much attention except the fond memories of Charlie. During Christmas, my beloved wife shed a tear for Charlie as we walked through a Christmas tree lot. My wife who hand makes wreaths, would collect clippings from the tree lots, Charlie would walking into the room my wife was making wreaths in, collapse in to that pile of tree clippings and roll around in that evergreen smelling pile.
Perhaps it was the combination of the two memories....
Perhaps it was the universe setting are hearts up....
Perhaps it was...................
Today my wife is out walking around the neighborhoods with a friend of hers. She notices a puppy playing in a yard and thinks it is an American Mastiff. She walks over to pet it when the lady of the house steps out. She calls to the owner, complimenting her on what a beautiful puppy and asks what type pup it is. The owner answers that she doesn't know. It was abandoned two weeks or more ago in the street. They took it in and that it had needed to be bottle fed for awhile. Then came the question that floored my wife "Do you want him?"
It turns out that the man of the house didn't want another dog and this puppy was already the size of their "small poodles". So, she was looking for a new home for this little guy.
Any one want to take a quess what the wife did next? That is right - she called me, explained the situation.
After questioning her on coat color, ear design, paw size...I have determined without seeing it that it is either a American Mastiff mutt or pup. Why was it abandoned when it was so small that it still needed its mother is beyond me. The abandonment that it received was harsh and uncalled for. Yet this lucky little guy found a temporary home with someone who knew how to raise an infant pup. Perhaps he should be named "Damn Lucky."
Any one want to guess what came home with her that afternoon?
Got to love the Universe!
We decided to call him Daniel. Which when properly translated means "Damn Lucky!"
*** Daniel \Dan"i*el\, n. A Hebrew prophet distinguished for sagacity and ripeness of judgment in youth; hence, a sagacious and upright judge
UPDATE: 1/12/08 9:01 AM EST
Well, since I got home yesterday and got a good look at Daniel, I can honestly say it is difficult to judge what breeds he comes from. He is still a small puppy. He does have distinguished markings that belong to the Mastiff and marking the belong to the bull dogs. His nose is straight and he has not developed the jowles that expect from bull dogs so I wonder what else might he be mixed with. What ever he is mixed with, I am going to have to watch him grow to determine if he has Mastiff in him.
One thing is for certain, I can't get rid of him. He won the hearts of every one else. So, once again, he is "Damn Lucky!"
Knowing the Universe, he has Mastiff in him.

A thought gently flows through your mind. Without an hesitation you dismiss it and move on.
A feeling of dread overcomes you and you subcum to the emotions of fear and loss that it is generating.
An illness moves to take over your body and you acknowledge its presence.
In the above examples, consciously or not, you made an agreement.
Previously I have presented how the Law of Permissions work. Now, if the law of permissions is a key, the law of agreements, a sub law to the law of permission would be the teeth of the key.
Daily we are bombarded by thoughts in which we must either grant or deny permission. Yet, if you have a permission, some times the forces might try to compromise your permission by setting up an agreement with you. If you give no thought to this agreement then you leave it to the law of averages to intervene and make a decision.
If you do not agree (this is different from disagree) then you are denying to rights.
If you agree then you are allowing the rights
If you want to remove and agreement, then you need to disagree with something you once agreed with.
Let's take money for example. Many people feel that they do not make enough money. During a testing period of the law of agreements, I constantly mediated that I disagree that I don't make enough money and agree that I make more than enough money. I agree that I have an abundance of money. Now I would spend 30 minutes a day meditating on these agreements. I would do it during my 15 minute drive to work and my 15 minute drive home from work.
Result in my own life? 22% increase in my income over a 60 day period of time.
I got a song stuck in my head....I did not agree that the song had permission to play over and over again in my head. Within seconds the song was unstuck.
Did you agree with yourself that you would never understand math?
Did you agree with yourself that you would never understand a foreign language?
Did you agree with yourself that you would never get any where in life?
Are these agreements a reality in your life?
Why do winners always win? Why do people constantly win contests? Because they don't agree with losing!
What makes Tom Brady an exceptional quarterback? Does he agree with failing?
Why do some critically ill patients recover? Did they agree to lose to the disease?
You may have extended permissions out there to cover something and protect something. Now it is time to analize the agreements you set out. When you look at your agreements, you might find where YOU are cutting YOURSELF off at the knees.
Agree with the good things, disagree with the negative. Watch what happens in your life.

Adsense
I get Google Adsense turned on and I look at the blog to find an ad that states "Why the rapture is a lie?" and goes on to advertise a book on the return of Jesus in 2008. The web site talks about the destruction of America over the coming year.
I wonder how the author will feel this time next year!
So, just FYI, I don't get to pick the advertisements Google puts on here.

New Year, New Look!
Jim Davis, creator of the Garfield comics illustrated a comic once where Jon (Garfield's owner) comes rushing in and awakens Garfield announcing the New Year. Garfield extends his paw out, rubs two digits together and in illustration appears to be an annoyed tone states "So this is {year}, feels the same."
Thus for decades now I have extended two fingers out and rubbed them together mocking the change of seasons and utter those now infamous words from Garfield.
Not this year! I refrained for a multitude of reasons. Among them is the knowledge that this year IS NOT THE SAME! This year will be filled with so many pains that modern methods of living will be altered forever.
How are we greeted? How does our year begin?
The price of OIL hit $100.00 a barrel this afternoon. This is the first in history for this price mark. Unfortunately for us, it will not be the last.
The stock market dropped over 200 points.
This year is not beginning on a good note...How will it end? With an election!
Knowing full well that we have deep subjects to discuss, as well as dark matters to concern ourselves with I have changed the template of the blog to be a little brighter, cheerier, happy.
Smile. Unless you are willing to step up to the plate and change the future, it is all you can do.
