12th Key of Knowledge

Larry Writes: So is the name for the Third Key of Knowledge Right Perception or Eternal Words?

The name is  “Right Perception.”

Tom writes:

Maybe JJ, can give us hints or clues to future keys until the time comes when he revels one at the Gathering.

JJ

I don’t plan on that but now the Twelveth Key is out I can guide you to a better understanding of that.

Question: What is the name of this Key? If you listened to the audio you should be able to figure it out.

Remember what was said in one of the books.  If the essence of the keys were just given out few would understand or grasp the depth of their meaning.  I gave this one out but no one has given much evidence of understanding it.

Three Sets of Keys

The Name of the Twelfth Key is, “The Word is God.” Ruth mentioned it in passing and Dan specified it.

Dan asks:

Is WHY Martha believed primary to this effect? If she had believed just because she had seen him bend spoons (perform miracles) before (ie via beastly authority), as opposed to belief due to soul contact, would this still have generated the necessary power? In other words, does the source of/reason for the belief/faith matter? Or is it enough just to believe (regardless of reason)?

JJ

There is great power in the blending of male female energies of two individuals as demonstrated by Jesus and Martha.  However there is also great potency in the individual blending with a higher life through the soul.  In this case he would be the female (no matter what his or her sex) and the higher life would be male.

Questions:

What is a Word which is God?

Why is the Word called God?

The Word Which is God

Let us concentrate on the first question.

What is the Word Which is God?

Dan told us what the Word does which is:

“That which initiates motion (a cause).”

No one has told us what the Word is even though I clearly stated it in the audio. This illustrates that just giving out the information is not enough.  There must be interplay to anchor the understanding of the Keys in the minds of the students.

Larry W writes:

All Words are God/Gods/God’s, because words are sounds/vibrations and all sounds/vibrations proceed from God’s decision to manifest.

JJ

Excellent answer Larry and your post as a whole was perhaps the finest you have made. We will return to some of those points later.

The answer is  that ALL words are Gods.

Question: What is the difference between a Word that is spoken or written and seems to produce no effect and those that do? Are some Words Gods and others not Gods?

Again, I ask.  What is the Word which is God?

 

Dec 9, 2013

Dan’s Question

Dan Writes:

Let me start over. My question was not specific to Martha/Jesus/Lazarus but more generally about whether the source of belief/faith is important to the generation of the male/female power.

I was under the impression that Martha’s belief that Jesus could resurrect Lazarus even after dead more than 3 days was what allowed him to raise Lazarus.

Even if, as you seem to indicate, and instead Jesus actually communed with a higher life, just for the moment lets assume Martha was the female to Jesus’ male. So, assuming this was the case, does the SOURCE of Martha’s belief matter?

Would it still have generated the power even if she had believed in Jesus due to beastly authority (however it may have come about)? Or ONLY if she believed on him due to communing with the God within (soul contact, etc)?

JJ

The power of belief is powerful whether it be the belief supporting a beastly authority or a belief inspired by soul contact and verified within.

I would suppose that Martha had such a strong belief because the works of Jesus were verified to her through soul contact, and Jesus sensed this, thus giving her belief more power.

On the other hand, faith healers who set themselves up as beastly authorities sometimes perform real miracles through the power of the belief of their followers who may not have soul contact.

Words are Gods and have great power for good or evil and may be used by a beastly authority or a master.

This brings us to Tom’s question:

is it ok or not to use God’s name in vain and other swear words…in the past awhile back you claim swear words do no harm.

JJ

Just because words are gods does not mean that they are all directed toward something desirable or good.

The Bible says that God created good and evil and words bring about good and evil in the world.

The work of the disciple is to use words and thought constructively.

 

Dec 9, 2013

The Key

The Question: What is the difference between a Word that is spoken or written and seems to produce no effect and those that do? Are some Words Gods and others not Gods?

The group has given some good insights and  comments but no one has answered the question to completeness.

You have said that all words are gods.  Yes, this is true, but what is the difference between a Word that is spoken or written that seems to produce no effect and those that do? Corruption, good and evil, male and female have nothing to do with the core answer.

Let us take the word “rock”.  It is what it is.  It is not corrupt or uncorrupt.  It is neither good or evil, though it can be used in either direction.

This word could be written on a piece of paper and buried in the ground.  In this situation the word is as if it does not exist. Words were written on the Dead Sea Scrolls and buried also and were as if they did not exist for 2000 years.

What calls the word into existence in this sphere of activity?

An example is the work of a computer programmer.  The good is the desired work the program will do. The evil “by-product” are the imperfections that drive users crazy.  However, the ed result after the release of numerous versions will be a relatively perfect or “good” creation.

No one has gotten it yet.  Larry has come the closest with the word “use.”

Hint.  Words can be gods not only to disciples, masters and seekers, but also to those who are totally ignorant and of low evolution.

Gospel of John

The writings of John were all originally penned in the Greek so it is not productive to translate them back into the Aramaic.  All scholars agree with this.  Here is a quote from the Catholic Encyclopedia.

The Fourth Gospel is written in Greek, and even a superficial study of it is sufficient to reveal many peculiarities, which give the narrative a distinctive character. Especially characteristic is the vocabulary and diction. His vocabulary is, it is true, less rich in peculiar expressions than that of Paul or of Luke: he uses in all about ninety words not found in any other hagiographer. More numerous are the expressions which are used more frequently by John than by the other sacred writers. Moreover, in comparison with the other books of the New Testament, the narrative of St. John contains a very considerable portion of those words and expressions which might be called the common vocabulary of the Four Evangelists.

What is even more distinctive than the vocabulary is the grammatical use of particles, pronouns, prepositions, verbs, etc., in the Gospel of St. John. It is also distinguished by many peculiarities of style, — asyndeta, reduplications, repetitions, etc. On the whole, the Evangelist reveals a close intimacy with the Hellenistic speech of the first century of our era. which receives at his hands in certain expressions a Hebrew turn. His literary style is deservedly lauded for its noble, natural, and not inartistic simplicity. He combines in harmonious fashion the rustic speech of the Synoptics with the urban phraseology of St. Paul.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08438a.htm

So your argument that the Gospel of John was originally written in Aramaic is that the Gospel of Matthew may have been?  Does not compute.

It is possible that Matthew Mark and Luke may have been written in Aramaic, even though most scholars believe that even they were written in Greek.  There is no way to tell for sure.

But John’s writings are a different matter. He uses style, phrases and words peculiar to the Greek and the Gospel of John was written around the turn of the century when most church writers used the Greek.  They are about 99% sure that the original Gospel of John was written in the Greek.

The earliest known fragment of the gospels is one of John written just a few decades after the actual book was penned by John and guess what the language was?

Greek.

Back to the Key

Ruth came as close as anyone is probably going to get to the key word and that is one must “accept” the word to manifest its power.

Even here this word does not fully describe the process.  The word “embrace” brings us a little closer to the mark.  Even better is this.  The seeker must become one with the word to manifest the word.

Again, one of the best examples of how this works is the movie Rocky II. Rocky’s wife wanted him to give up boxing and in the midst of their tension she became ill and was in a coma. As he sat by her side he decided that if she lived and didn’t want him to fight that he would give up the quest and live a normal life.

Then she miraculously came out of her coma and as he started to explain his decision she grabbed him, firmly looked at him and told him there was one thing she wanted him to do. She wanted him to go back in the ring and win. When se said the word “win” I felt visibly affected as it was a very powerful scene and you could feel the potency of the effect on Rocky. He not only accepted the word, but embraced it and became one with it which gave him the power to manifest it in deed.

Now we know the standard definition of a word as found in the dictionary, but the meaning is much more far reaching as far as the Word is God is concerned.

Question:  What is the full meaning of the Word as it applies to this key?

We are talking about the  twelfth Key, The Word is God.  The Trinity of Key words are accept, embrace merge.

Tom writes:

Also, how old was you JJ when you overcome the dweller in this life time?

JJ

I encountered my dweller when I was 16 and it took five years of struggle to put it in its right place.

So far no one has found the two important words in Dave’s post here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Keysters/conversations/messages/65954

Hint: How many words did God sound that created the Universe?

A word as understood by this key is much more than a single item in a dictionary.

 

Dec 11, 2013

More Hints

he group is missing the hint.

Ruth was the first to get the first part of the assignment correct.  The original sound that created all things was one word.

However, the group has missed the hint involved.  Let me give an additional huge hint.

If the first word was composed of many words, as we know them, then perhaps the words we are looking for in Dave’s post are not two ordinary dictionary words.

What are the two real words given in Dave’s post?

Excellent. The key words were The Declaration of Independence and The Gettysburg Address.

The point I was attempting to instil in students is that a word is much more than an item in a dictionary.  Even the whole of creation is a word.  Ther are many words that reside in creation between the universe itself and a dictionary word.

Question: What determines whether something is a word or not?

Name three additional key words that are not dictionary words. One of them should be organic.

 

Dec 11, 2013

To those who are frustrated at not getting the hints I say:

You’re doing fine. Just look at how dense my character was in the Immortal books.

The problem is twofold.

(1) It is easy to get the wrong idea from hints, even carefully worded ones.

(2) It is human nature to absorb the surface meaning of what we study and think that we have taken it all in.  In the case of these keys, they sound simple so when the basic knowledge is given out the student will assume he understands it.  After all, it appears that Decision and Judgment would be that deep to understand.

By going through the various keys point by point the seeker can discover many things below the surface.

If all of creation is just one word in the mind of God then yes, a sentence, a book or a planet can be a word.

Look in the mirror and tell me of an organic word you see.

From Eternal Words

Pg 73

“What is a word?”

It seemed to be a very simple question, but one that I found difficult to find words to answer. Finally I answered, “Well, a word is a thing spoken that identifies something.”

Elizabeth grabbed a dictionary, opened it and and added, “It says here that a word is a sound or combination of sounds that symbolizes and communicates a meaning.”

“Now we’re getting somewhere,” he said. “A word is a sound.” What is a sound?”

“Since I play the piano perhaps I can answer that,” said Elizabeth. “The notes on the pioano are sounds and each note has a different frequency or vibration.”

“So a word is a sound, which is, in turn, vibration,” I injected.

“And what does the vibration represent?” he asked.

“Whatever the meaning behind the word is, I suppose.”

“Pick a word,” he commanded.

“How about coin?”

“And when you speak the word coin, isn’t a certain combination of vibrations sent forth to reach the ears of others?”

“Yes.”

“And these vibrations represent an idea?”

“Agreed,” I said, trying to follow his thought.

And, in between the thought and the idea, what force acts as the bridge between the two?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Suppose you are reading a magazine and see a picture of a new car. The idea or concept of a car enters your mind. What has to happen within you before you will act and do what is necessary to get the car?”

“I suppose I would have to want the car enough to spend the money.”

“Very good,” he said. “In other words, you first have the idea of a thing in your mind, which is followed by want or desire, which in thrun is followed by the materialization of the physical object.”

“Makes sense,” I said.

“Now a word, you you generally understand the term, starts with an idea. It is followed with a desire to communicate, which is materialized into a vibration that symbolizes the thing, which is, in this case, a car.”

“But there is a big difference between saying the word car and actually having a new Porsche in my front driveway.”

“You think so,” he said with a knowing look.

“”I take it you don’t think so,” I replied.

He pulled out the shiny 1796 quarter again and set it on the table. “This is a coin, is it not?”

“I would think so,” I said.

“Now does the word coin refer only to this coin or to the idea of coins in general?”

“The idea of coins in general.”

“What word then refers to this specific coin?”

“I don’t know,” I said, thinking. “I guess we could call it John’s coin.”

“But there are many who are called John and many coins. What word refers to this coin?”

“How about John the Beloved’s 1796 quarter?” added Elizabeth.

“But I could have two such quarters,” he replied.

“I know you well enough to know you’re leading us to a conclusion that is beyond the obvious,” I said. “You’re not looking for a set of regular words are you?”

“Then what am I looking for?”

“You said you are looking for the word that identifies your coin.”

“Yes.” He noded. “Now what word could it be?”

“Well, I’ve concluded it is not a regular word, but you agree that a word is a vibration that represents a thing. Perhaps the coin’s word is some type of vibration peculiar to itself.”

John smiled and replied, “You’re finally headed the right direction.”

 

[…]

 

pp. 75

 

“And what is sound again?”

A light began to go off in my head as I replied, “Sound is a vibration and vibration is composed of waves!”

“And what is the word which is this coin?”

“This is getting interesting,” I mused. “I think I see where you are going. This coin is made up of vibrations, and since vibration is sound, then this coin is made of sound. If we could somehow hear the fine vibrations we could hear the word which is this coin.”

“You start off a little slow, but you usually come through,” John smiled.

[…]

 

pp. 76

 

“All creation, which appears complex when divided into its many parts, always evolves toward the greatest of simplicity. The element silver is composed of billions of tiny sounds, but the many tiny voices blend in a great choir to make one master sound. To speak the word which is silver, I merely make the one sound instead of the many.”

“But you said the coin is made of two elements, which is copper as well as silver. Is it composed of two words?”

“No. The sound which is silver blends with the sound which is copper to make one sound just as two voices blend to create harmony.”

 

pp. 88

 

“To ensure that this would be the case I absorbed and sounded the Word which is Elizabeth when I first met her. Just as the shiny new coin has an uncorrupted word, so do we. The image you see of Elizabeth is the result of her Word sounded in a healthy state. Having this image of her in my room gives me power to restore her to health on either a temporary or permanent basis.”

 

pp. 89

 

“And then I demonstrated the truth of this for you in applying it to form. All form is the result of sound, or a word, and all form goes through the process of decay or corruption. But the sounding of the original word on all planes restores the form just as sounding the original phrase in the game restores the meaning.”

 

pp. 138

 

“I think I see what you are getting at,” I said. “The idea of a sandcastle, along with its form, continues to exist even if the elements that represent the form crumble.”

“Yes,” he said. “The sand is not the form of the castle, but represents the form. All form represents an idea and all ideas are founded upon some eternal principle. We have therefore the eternal triangle of form, idea, and principle. An eternal word is a word that conveys the true idea so it will never be lost or destroyed. The first sandcastle is long gone, but the original idea is recreated every day, and can be seen on beaches as long as human thought continues on this planet.”

“Interesting,” I said. “So the first sandcastle still exists amidst all the beaches of the world as it is recreated by fun-loving people. I guess we must learn to differentiate between real form and that which makes up the form.”

“Exactly,” said John. “Even though the first sandcastle was not written with a pen or spoken with the mouth, it was nevertheless an Eternal Word that shall not pass away. There are many other ways to write or speak to the mind of another without the use of pen and ink.”

“Like pictures,” injected Elizabeth.

“Actually, all physical communication boils down to pictures,” he replied. “Even the basic alphabet is composed of pictures of symbols, which, when pieced together, create a bigger picture. The first letter of the alphabet is a picture of a sound, whereas a sandcastle is a picture of many sounds.”

 

Dec 12, 2013

The Assignment:

Name three additional key words that are not dictionary words. One of them should be organic.

Perhaps I need to add a little more explanation. By key words I mean the use of the term “Word” as it applies to this key, which is somewhat different than the dictionary definition of a word.  All the words that fit the regular dictionary definition are included in a good unabridged dictionary.

We are seeking the meaning of a word according to how John was using it when he said, “the Word is God,” and according to its use in the Twelfth Key.

I’ve given some reasonable hints so far including the fact that the creation of the universe is created and sustained by what is considered from a higher point of view – one Word. Now if the universe is created through the sounding of one Word then, from a higher view, a Word is much more inclusive than the thousands of pieces of information in a dictionary.

I elaborated on this at the gathering (Part 18 at about the seven minute mark) and told the group that a word could be a single word, a phrase, a piece of music, a book, or even the Boy Scout Motto.

A Word as it pertains to this Key is a thought seeking manifestation, or a thought in manifestation.

Dan and Adam named a few 12th Key Words that are not in the dictionary.

Dan’s were: “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, “The Holy Bible”, “John Lennon’s Imagine”, the “principle of freedom”, and “Soul Contact”.

Adam’s were: Lou Gehrig’s farewell speech, “Soylent Green is people!”

It may seem odd to call all these things words, but they all represent thought in manifestation.  I was surprised that no one got the organic (living) word that you see when you look in the mirror.  That word is you.

Now if your name is Dan, Dan is not the word I am talking about, for the Dan here in the group is a different word than the thousands of other Dans who are out there. Our Dan here has an essence, vibration and thought different than anyone else in the universe.

The universe is one word yet its body is composed of trillions of individual words.

A dog (God backwards) is also one word but is also composed of trillions of words. Some words that come to mind are eye, nose, hair, teeth, tongue, mouth, stomach, brain, cells, molecules and trillions of atoms, each representing a different word.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a phrase representing the Word which is the book, and is composed of thousands of individual words.  But overall, the word which is the book, is thought in manifestation.

Mark Twain heard this particular Word, which is God, within his consciousness and brought it into manifestation.

The question was, “What is a Word?”

The answer is that it is any idea or thought seeking manifestation.

Now let us move on to the second question.  Why is the Word called God and why is this a key to power?

 

Dec 13, 2013

There has been some high quality expressions the past few days Group members show what they are made of when challenged.

I can’t possibly comment on all the good thoughts but will add a few of my own.

Let us look at the first question. “Why is the Word called God?”

The Key cannot be understood or used unless this answer becomes clear in the student’s mind.

Why is God called God? Answer: Because He created all things.  What created all things?  Vibration.  What is vibration? The sum of all wavelengths in the universe is The Word.

Is this universe all there is?

No

Is there some greater being uttering a Word that creates a universe of universes?

Yes.

Now consider this. A human being is to the God of the universe as is God in relationship to the God of the universe of universes.

Does this mean that God is not really God, but some greater being is?

No.  Neither does it mean that the word which is you is not God.

Neither does it mean that any idea that you have that you are seeking to manifest is not a Word which is God. It is also a Word, which is God.

Absorbing this truth elevates the soul to great heights because it is a key to manifesting the powers of God among men.

Earlier I said that the trinity of words pertinent to manifesting this key are: accept, embrace and merge.

These are helpful, but perhaps[s a fourth word is in order. This is one made up by the Science fiction writer Robert Heinlein in his book Stranger in a Strange Land.  There was not an English word for what he needed to express so he made one up and that word is “grok.”  If you grok something you totally understand it because you merge with it so completely that it is as if you become that thing.

This is what God has done with us who are his words and it is what we must do with our words. And remember, I am not speaking of dictionary words but ideas which are words coming into manifestation through your nurturing power and moved along by their own share of the intelligence of God.

Now tell me.  How and why is this knowledge, when groked, a key to power?

Night Before Christmas

This has been circulating around the web. Kinda cute:

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the White House

Not a creature was working, not even his spouse;

No stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

because Michelle and the kids were in Hawaii spending 7 million there;

The Obama voters were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of free cell phones danced in their heads;

And mamma with her free healthcare, and unemployment benefits with no cap,

Had just settled down for a free winter’s nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the mail box I flew like a flash,

Tore open the mail and got my free cash.

The welfare check hadn’t got wet in the snow

Obama was still passing out free dough,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a sign I must not work, at all of next year,

With a Socialist driver, so conniving and quick,

I knew in a moment he was their Saint Nick.

More taxes for the working and spending pretty much insane,

and he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

“Now, Daschle! Now, Boxer! Now, Franken and Reid!

On, Pelosi! On Feinstein! On, Baucus and Biden!

over the debt ceiling! No spending fire wall!

Now tax away! Tax away! Tax away all!”

Radio Show

I was on a national radio show this morning with Lorraine Hurley.  Here are the links to the audio if you want to listen.

Hour Two

The commercials are not filtered out so you might want to fast forward through them.

Obama’s Accomplishments

Here’s a response I made today to a reader’s letter to my home paper:

Reader:

“Why do liberals like Obama’s policies?” Let’s see … equal pay for women…

JJ

But does Obama really practice this? Women working in Obama’s White House are paid 87 cents for every dollar paid to men. Looks like he hasn’t even accomplished this on his own turf.

Reader:

Ending two wars

JJ

Well, he did pull out of Iraq on Bush’s timeline, but where’s the second war that’s ended?  We still have 54,000 troops in Afghanistan.

Reader:

Applying new fiscal safeguards to reduce the likelihood of a repeat Wall Street crash (Dodd/Frank)

JJ

Dodd-Frank outsourced the Constitutional duties of Congress to bureaucrats to make rules to regulate the financial industries.  So far it hasn’t done much but induce paralysis through fear of what is to come. Here’s a good article on it.

Link

Reader:

Overseeing the end of the Bush recession and ushering in nearly 20 straight quarters of GDP growth;

JJ

Yes, we are technically out of a recession, which can occur with consistent lethargic growth such as we have now. During the Obama years of 2009-2012 average annual growth in real GDP has been only 1.075 percent the lowest in 60 years. Between 1980-2000 the average growth rate was three times as much.

Reader:

Elimination of gender discrimination policies in our military (DADT) and national government (DOMA)

JJ

That did actually happen and most liberals are happy over it.

Reader:

Reduction of unwanted pregnancies and severe health maladies through no-cost health care prevention legislation

JJ

Unwanted pregnancies were decreasing when Obama came in office probably due to the recession forcing people to be more careful about birth control for fear they could not afford another child.  Can’t find any evidence to support any reduction in health maladies through anything Obama has done. There does seem to be a lot more mentally unstable people out there though.

Reader:

Encouraging all Americans to participate in a, now, uniform health care industry.

JJ

I assume he is talking about Obamacare. Even many liberals who find their premiums doubling are turning on Obamacare.  Exit polls from Tuesday’s election in Virginia and New Jersey show a majority are against it, according to CNN.

Reader:

Reducing the size of government

JJ

That’s a good one.  The fact is the number of federal employees has risen under President Obama. There were 2,790,000 federal workers in January 2009 when the president took office, and now there are 2,804,000 workers. Even by lefty math that is an increase. That number is going to go way up after Obamacare is fully in force.

Now some state and local governments have decreased because of the bad economy but those decisions are not made by Obama’s bureaucrats.

Reader:

Reducing the deficit:

JJ

Yeah, right.  You have to compare one Obama year to another to come to that conclusion. The deficit has averaged over a trillion a year under Obama, over twice the average of Bush.

Reader:

The ability to overcome the irresponsible intransigence within Congress and pay our ‘legal obligations’ on time.

JJ

Most of the irresponsibility was his for not willing to compromise and his fighting tooth and nail for irresponsible spending.

Common Stuff or Not?

Reader

I long ago figured out everything you have written about without ever reading your books.

JJ

I doubt this.  I have had others make a similar boast and  then were unable to reveal a single new principle on their own or give new light on a  known one. Can you really say you understood how the Molecular Relationship worked before you read about it here – assume you have?

I have had numerous people command me to follow then or I will burn in hell or some such thing, but this has always been the only ammunition they have.  What do you have to offer here?. Present your case and if I see some light i will take it in. I follow no one just because they think I should. The Holy Spirit would have to confirm any new direction i take.

If you want to establish some credibility here first give us your name and tell us a little about yourself.

The Light of the Soul

Tom asked about the accuracy of the Book of Mormon and the Bible.  As far as the teachings of both of the books go I will say this. They are both close to 100% accurate for the reader who studies them through the light of his soul.  On the other hand, they both will be very much in error to the one who relies on the discerning power of his lower self. This especially applies to those focused strongly in the astral body.

As far as the actual quality of the teachings of the two books go, I would say they rate close to the same.  I see them as two of the highest quality scriptures given to the world.

Most people acknowledge that the actual words of Jesus are of extremely high quality and many see them as unsurpassed.  Even so, many without soul contact have used these great words to start unjust wars, torture and kill heretics, and force others to convert at the point of the sword. But those with soul contact read the same words and help their neighbors, love their fellowmen and perform many good works.

Words written by writers with soul contact contain quantums of spiritual energy that are not seen or felt by those trapped in the lower self. The student with contact releases those packages of pure spirit and is edified and sees with clear vision.

Some of the Old Testament stories and teachings are highly criticized by some as being very barbaric. They say that if there is a God that he must be one mean son of a gun. What they do not realize is that the spiritual leaders of the race give out teachings predicated on the consciousness of the people they are working with.

Yes, it is true that by the standards of right and wrong today many of the things ancient Israel did was fairly barbaric. They took the land of Canaan by force and slaughtered their enemies. They put people to death who violated commandments that wouldn’t even get you a ticket today.

What is overlooked is that they were head and shoulders above other groups of people in their standards of civilization. They didn’t go in for human and child sacrifice as did many of their neighbors.  Neither is there any record of them practicing torture as was the standard procedure of many ancient peoples.

They had the Ten Commandments and the Mosaic Code which gave them law and order that laid the foundation for many of he laws throughout the world today.  Other nations at that time didn’t have such an intelligent structure.

Thus if one reads the Old Testament in the light of the personality he may see only barbaric things whereas the one in the soul can see the works of Spirit throughout and find much wisdom within its pages.

Tom asks

Also, is giving money to one’s pastor consider the right thing to do by GOD and is it giving to God himself? Is giving to charity’s the right thing to do?

JJ

If you are giving your own money you have a right to give it to whoever you want. Of course, you want to avoiding giving it to someone who will do harm, a hitman for instance. If you give money to someone who is using it to help people then it will be accounted as good karma in the bank for you whether it be a minister or a non religious person.

Tom:

Also, if a poor person gave 20 dollars and a rich man gave 200 dollars who gave the most in God’s eyes for the release of karma. The poor person could not afford to give 200 but only 20.

JJ

Jesus threw some light on this:

Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

Mark 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

Mark 12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

Mark 12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

The sacrifice the person makes to give adds to good karma as well as the amount that is given. They are two different causes and thus the karma is different with them both. The widow benefitted by obtaining the greater spiritual growth.  Those who give more but of their abundance will experience little personal growth from it but if the money actually goes to accomplish some good then they will gain good karma of a different kind. In the case of the rich in the parable most of their money went to line the prophets of the priests and did little for the service of the people.

Healing

So, what is the secret of spiritual healing?  That is the big question that few have attempted to answer beyond the orthodox one which is to merely have faith.

Yes faith is important for both he healer and the patient, but the word had a different meaning in the time of Jesus than it does now.  Many Christians today see it is as mere blind belief but those who wrote the scriptures saw it differently.

In the New Testament faith comes from PISTIS, which is derived from the root word PEITHO which basically means “to prove a thing true or false by evidence, argument, reason or experiment and through the guidance of your inner authority.”

A scripture that is in harmony with this comes from the Book of Hebrews, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Heb 11:1

Faith does not follow blind belief, but follows the direction pointed to by evidence and then either confirms that the evidence pointed to the truth or proves that it did not.

Now we have evidence that spiritual healing works and belief in them is on the upswing.

In 1991, 73 percent of Americans believed miracles “definitely” or “probably” happen. That number rose to 78 percent in 2008. More recently, a 2010 Pew Research Center report found 79 percent of Americans believe in miracles. Other polls give an even higher number.

So why do so many people believe in miracles when men of science claim that such is only a superstitious belief?

The most potent answer is evidence. A Newsweek poll revealed that 48% of us have experienced or witnessed a miracle and 63% know of an individual who has experienced one.

A person with real faith will see this evidence and want to follow it to its conclusion in his life. He therefore tests the evidence and attempts to manifest the miraculous in his own life.

Now most miracles that people experience are from healing and if we want to understand the principle behind them, then, perhaps we should examine the greatest healer of all time, namely Jesus.

So, did Jesus explain the power behind his miracles? Actually he did. So, what was it?

Most people would automatically say it was God but that was not the answer Jesus gave.

Assignment:  Jesus, explained the power that generated the miracles attributed to him.  What was it and where was it found? Why was he needed in order for the power to manifest? What part did he play?

Alternative Healing

I’ve been spending some time on the Statesman posting my thoughts and the negativity toward me seems to be growing. It is an amazing thing that people get so angry over opinions

I must be a glutton for punishment, but I feel impressed to continue.  At least it keeps the mind sharp and gives me ideas for other writing.

I’ll give you a sampling from just one subject covered Thursday.  I’m limited to giving you my posts but you can go to the link if you want to read the dialog of those who responded to me.

First, I responded to a letter that stated that cholesterol-reducing drugs will be recommended for one third of the adult population and thought this was because of a push from the big drug companies.  T

In response to this I wrote:

Good observation Jeff. Placing a third of the people on the dangerous statin drugs is crazy. We wouldn’t need any of these drugs if people just went on a good diet and exercised a little. Besides high cholesterol is not always a bad thing. It is a natural fat that’s essential for human life and whether or not it needs treated depends on a number of factors and even here the best treatment is a diet of unprocessed foods.

Mercoloa has a good article on this subject: LINK

In response I was told that I was not a doctor and didn’t know what I was talking about and was reckless dangerous and arrogant.

To that I said:

I do not need your authority to post my opinions, thank you., I suppose that if some authority told you to jump off a bridge you would. I don’t take the word of anyone without testing it to the best of my ability.

Actual results and experience is the best test of what works and it has certainly worked for me and everyone I know who has tried it.. I do not take prescription drugs but those who I know that do are a mess. Some of them take a half dozen or more. Some take drugs to counteract problems from other drugs creating a viscous circle. That’s not a good thing no matter what their position of authority is.

There are good natural alternatives to almost every chemical drug unless you let yourself get in such bad shape you are beyond the point of no return.

Natural healing is not a left-right thing. Both sides are in on this and and surprised that no liberal here has voiced support in it since I have posted here.

Next I was accused of rambling and speculating.  I responded thus:

If it works it is not speculation.

Also it has been proven that there are a lot of negative side effects to the statin drugs. If you think you can use them without judgment on your part you are fooling yourself.

Then to a guy who said he takes a lot of statin drugs I said:

So what alternatives have you actually tried? If you are examined by someone who is educated in alternatives he could get you off of the drugs and your health would be greatly improved. For instance, do you use any sugar substitutes that are not natural like diet sodas?

Then to a guy who says he eats steak & eggs and ice cream for breakfast I said:

Eating steak and eggs for breakfast is a lot better than diet sodas. Didn’t you tell me you’re still a young guy? When you are over 60 you really reach the test of your lifestyle. Not eating the artificial sugar is in your favor. A reasonable amount of ice cream made with real sugar won’t do you much harm. I wouldn’t recommend it for breakfast every day. It could lead to diabetes when you are older.

Next to the charge that I should listen to the beast of authority I said:

The biggest mistakes in history were made by trusting authorities just because they are authorities. So, if you were alive in 1847 you would have sided with the establishment and condemned Ignaz Semmelweis for giving evidence that doctors should wash their hands. You would have laughed and made up an imaginary tin foil hat on his head like the rest of the doctors of his age.

Things have not changed. those in power still try to make the innovators look like idiots.

At least the health innovators have the last laugh. They live healthy carefree lives while the authorities struggle with their diseased bodies.

Then I was asked why we live longer today.  I said:

Actually one of the biggest reasons is better dental care. In the old days there was a tremendous number of deaths attributed to dental problems.

Refrigeration is another reason. We don’t have do eat a bunch of unhealthy old beef or salt pork.

In addition because of great improvements in shipping we have access to fresh fruit and vegetables year around. There is less poverty so there are a lot fewer people on starvation diets. Read the Grapes of Wrath for understanding. I could go on and on.

Next I was accused saying that one size fits all in treatment.  I replied;

I’m not saying one size fits all. I am saying the opposite. Not all who have high cholesterol are in danger. All the factors need to be looked at. Some doctors are black and white about how they prescribe and others take a more holistic approach. The drugs you take may be doing you more damage than your high cholesterol. Your liver could be affected. I don’t know your diet but many people think they are eating the right foods for themselves and are way off the mark. If I were you I would read everything i could related to cholesterol ad get an opinion or two from alternative healers.

I am not saying we should not listen to authorities, but we should not blindly do what they say without doing all that we can first to understand what is best for our situation.

After this I received a vicious round of attacks from a number of posters. I ended this thread with:

I’ll make one reply to this last batch of negativity – some of the worst I have seen on the web. What an unhappy downward thinking bunch. Like attracts like.

There are many reasons why we live longer. Increased sanitation is one. Medical advances have helped but many of the drugs pushed on us do more harm than good. To fully explain why we live longer now would take a treatise and that’s not the purpose of this forum.

Alternative medicine and natural technology has greatly increased in effectiveness. (A poster) seems to think natural healers live like the Amish but the idea is to use anything that works whether it be traditional or alternative. Many like yourselves have tunnel vision about what works and outright reject many things that could help you.

Alternatives to drugs have worked for me and everyone I know who has tried them with no side effects. Why you do not think this is a good thing is strange.

And this bunch has lumped alliterative healing in with what they call the extreme right wing. This is crazy talk. There are more Democrats into my way of thinking on health than Republicans. Go to Boise Coop and mingle and you’ll find most of them are Democrats. Unlike this bunch they are civil.

Virgins and More

I tried to talk some common sense to the Statesman forum today but received the usual negative response.  Here are some of the things I wrote.

Dian makes a good point that we cannot help everyone. It would be nice if we could but such is not the reality at present. The parable of the ten virgins teaches this principle. As the signal came to meet the bridegroom it became apparent that only five of the ten had enough oil in their lamps for he journey. The five who lacked asked them to share. But the five with the oil said that if they shared then all would run out part way through the journey and none would benefit.

This applies to us. We need to share what is wise but if we borrow and spend too much we will run out of oil (money) and we will not be able to help ourselves let alone others.

Here’s a thought. If everyone did their best to help their family and loved ones there would be little need for social programs.

A poster insisted I was wrong and didn’t want to help the poor. To this I said:

Another totally false accusation. If a person borrows on his credit cards, goes bankrupt and then loses his power to help others he then becomes one of the needy asking for help himself and no one benefits.

Helping people with other people’s money, and borrowed money at that, is not real help and, like the parable of the virgins, none will reach their end goal.

I’m a big believer in helping people but I believe in helping people with resources I have, not with resources I have to borrow and occupy.

We are losing our power as a nation to help people because of irresponsible financial decisions. If we get ourselves back on a good foundation then we will be able to help more than ever, and it would be from our abundance rather than borrowed money that belongs to our kids.

You accuse me of being greedy and you are not, and your claim for being generous? You want to give away other people’s money. And who’s money is that?

(1) Borrowed money

(2) Our children’s and grandchildren’s money.

Some generous guy you are.

Another poster asks: “Who are you to be the one who chooses which “virgin gets the oil?”

JJ

You need to argue with what I say, not with what I do not say.

The virgins with oil in their lamps had the full vessel of oil not because someone chose that situation for them but because they worked hard to obtain the oil. The five wise virgins chose for themselves. No one chose for them.

The five foolish virgins that didn’t see the need to gather the oil at that time suffered because of their shortsightedness.

The point of my post had nothing to do with some bureaucrat, or some other person, deciding who gets oil and who does not. The choice is already made. If you have earned money you have done so because of choices you made. Let me illustrate the point I was making in a parable so maybe you can understand.

Caroline has two kids, Jim and Jeff. Let us say that Jim wants to see Lady Gaga when she comes to town and the ticket costs $200. He works hard and saves up $300 figuring he might need a little extra. Jeff also wants to see her but he has no money and asks Jim for $200. Jim says, “I’d love to see you go, but if I give you $200 then I will not have enough and will not be able to see her.”

Jim has a perfect right to deny Jeff the loan or gift, you would think.

The mother, Caroline, thought she would even things out and forced Jim to give Jeff $150 or half of his money. Jim was upset and protested, “Now neither of us can go.”

Caroline replied, “Maybe your dad or one of or friends will supply the extra $50. Now get out of my hair.”

They each tried to raise the extra $50 but there was not enough time and neither of them got tickets and Jim was out $150.

The point is that there is a limit as to how much a person, group or nation can help other people. It may have been practical for Jim to loan Jeff $50 but too much sharing destroyed his goal.

Our nation should stick within its budget. If we decide to use money we actually have to help people, fine, but generosity crosses the line when you have to borrow and endanger the lives of future generations to do so.

The poster thought this statement was ignorant:

“If everyone did their best to help their family and loved ones, there would be little need for social programs.”

I don’t think so. It is indeed a true statement, but I realize there are many who do not want to help anyone with their own resources and want Big Brother to do it all instead.

A poster insinuated I did not understand the difficulty people have who may have to chose between food and insurance.  I responded:

I was in that situation for over 20 years but I did not expect a handout from Big Brother. It was a no brainer in choosing between health care and food. We always chose food and chose good food so we stayed healthy and needed minimal health care for my family. When we went to the doctor we just paid cash. Our medical costs were less than the insurance premiums would have been.

Did I see myself as a poor victim as democratic voters do today? Not at all. Today we have a victim mindset that is turning us into a nation of wimps.

Here’s another post I made:

Harry Koehler presented a lot of truth in a few words. Layne Crea asked an important question:

“Why would the insurance companies do something legally questionable and financially idiotic to help President Obama save face?”.

Here’s the strange part that I’m sure the insurance companies are considering. Since Obama is asking them to break the law, which is Obamacare, to reinstate policies then they could be subject to a very expensive class action lawsuit. This threat plus the tremendous extra expense will make them very resistant to helping Obama even if they wanted to. Obama, Pelosi and Reid are caught in a trap of their own making. Who says karma doesn’t work?

More on Healing

Here are some scriptures revealing the actual words of Jesus after his healings;

Matt 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Matt 9:22 Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Matt 9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

Matt 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Matt 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Matt 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

Matt 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

What was it to which Jesus gave credit over and over for the miracles? Students will often say it was God or a special power that Jesus had that caused them to take place. But this is not the direction that Jesus indicated. He did not say “God made you whole,” or “I made you whole.”

To find the key to power we must examine his actual words.

Here is a popular pronouncement he made: “thy faith hath made thee whole.”

Here are several others:

“as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.”

“According to your faith be it unto you”

“great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.”

What do all these phrases have in common? They all direct us away from depending on an outside god sitting on a throne, or even Jesus himself, and point somewhere.  But where?

Where does faith come from?  It comes from inside of us. The great secret that is hidden in plain sight in the words of Jesus is the power to heal and perform miracles lies within ourselves. Jesus made this plain when he told a woman, “great is thy faith: be it unto thee EVEN AS THOU WILT.”

In other words there is magic within us activated by faith that unlocks a power so great that we can make things happen even as we will.  That is an amazing thought, is it not?

And where is the limitation?  There does not seem to be much for he said, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

So what is this power within us? The scriptures give several powerful hints.

“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21

So where is the kingdom of God?  It is within us.

And where is God?  Answer: In his kingdom.

Where then should we look for God?  Answer: Within each of us.

Where then lies the all powerful presence of God?  Answer: Within each of us.

This is confirmed in the book of Revelation where it describes those who are redeemed and saved from the mark of the Beast. “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.” Rev 14:1

So where is the name of God found?  Again it is found within our thinking consciousness in our foreheads.

And where the name of God is found, God is found, and his power becomes manifest and available.

Question:  If God is within us and we have all power to do according to our wills then why does this will seem to be frustrated?  How is it unlocked so miracles can happen?
