EATING FRUIT 

This is informative! 

We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit, cutting it up and popping it into our mouths..
It's not that easy. It's important to know how and when to eat fruit. 

What's the correct way to eat fruit? 

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL!  FRUIT SHOULD BE EATEN ON
AN EMPTY STOMACH. 


Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great
deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. 

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.

Let's say you eat two slices of bread, then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it's prevented from doing
so. 

In the meantime, the whole meal rots and ferments, and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact
with the food in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food
begins to spoil. 


Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal! You've heard people complain: Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach
bloats, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc. This will
not happen if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the
putrefying other food and produces gas. Hence, you bloat! 
 
 
There's no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all
fruit becomes alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did
research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruit,
you have the Secret of Beauty, Longevity, Health, Energy, Happiness and normal
weight.
When you need to drink fruit juice drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT the concentrated juice from the cans.
Don't drink juice that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruit; you don't get
the nutrients at all. You get only the taste. Cooking destroys all of the
vitamins. 

Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful
slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You
can go on a 3-day fruit-fast to cleanse your body. Eat fruit and drink fruit
juice for just 3 days, and you will be surprised when your friends say how
radiant you look! 

KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E and fibre. Its
vitamin C content is twice that of an orange! 

AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has
antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby
helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack and
stroke. 

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body
from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals. 
 
EATING 2 - 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away,
lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce the risk of
colon cancer. 

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of  92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of
glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. Also a key source of
lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin C and
Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are
the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber,
which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your
eyes. 

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!

Can you believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this applies to you. It's nice to have a cold drink after a meal, however, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that
you've just consumed, which slows digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the
acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid
food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead
to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a
meal. 

A serious note about heart attacks.

HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE

Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a
heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty
percent of people who have a heart attack while they're asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Be careful, and be aware. The
more we know, the better our chance to survive. 
 
A cardiologist said if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can
be sure that we'll save at least one life.

It  can even be your life!

Cinnamon and Honey
Honey is
 the only food on the
planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do

              what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always
honey.

              However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do

              what I rather call "crystallizing".   When this happens I

              loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in

              the hot water,turn off the heat and let it

              liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or

              put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the

              honey.

Cinnamon and Honey

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.  Facts on
Honey

              and Cinnamon:  It is found that a mixture of honey and

              Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the

              countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a

              'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.

               Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of

              diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is

              sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not

              harm diabetic patients.   Weekly World News, a magazine in

              Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the

              following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon

              as researched by western scientists:

HEART  DISEASES:

Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder,

              apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for

              breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves

              the patient from heart attack.
  Also, those who
have

              already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are

              kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above

              process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.

               In America and Canada, various nursing homes

              have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age,

              the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged;

              honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

              

ARTHRITIS:

Arthritis patients may take

              daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of

              honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken

              regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent

              research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that

              when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one

              tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before

              breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so

              treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain,

              and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk
or

              move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

              

BLADDER INFECTIONS:

Take two tablespoons

              of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass
of

              lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

              

CHOLESTEROL

Two tablespoons of honey

              and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea

              water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the

              level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.

                As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a

              day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information

              received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily

              relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:

Those suffering from common or severe colds should take

              one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily

              for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold,

              and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:

Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and

              also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

              

GAS

According to the studies

              done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if Honey is taken

              with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

              

IMMUNE SYSTEM:

Daily use of honey and

              cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the

              body from bacterial and viral attacks. Scientists have found that

              honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use

              of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial

              and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:

Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey

              taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest
of

              meals.

INFLUENZA
:
A scientist in

              Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ' Ingredient' which

              kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

              

LONGEVITY

Tea made with honey

              and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of

              old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder,

              and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup,

              three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and

              arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old,

              starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

              

PIMPLES
:
Three tablespoons of

              honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste

              on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm

              water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the

              root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:

Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is

              more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the

              body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in
equal

              parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done

              research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of

              water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after

              brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality

THE LOVE STORY OF HIRAM by Rudolf Steiner.

 

The Temple Legend

 

In his lecture cycle "The Temple Legend - Freemasonry & Related Occult Movements" given in Berlin between 23rd May 1904 and the 2nd January 1906 (GA 93), Rudolf Steiner gives a synopsis of the myth in Lecture 5, entitled "The Mystery Known to Rosicrucians."

Below is a synopsis of the legend as given by Steiner in the lecture, followed by a more detailed version provided by the publishers (Rudolf Steiner Press, London, 1985).

 

Synopsis:

There was a time when one of the Elohim created a human being whom he called Eve. That Elohim united himself with Eve and she gave birth to Cain. After this, another Elohim, named Yahveh, created Adam. Adam also united himself with Eve and from this union came Abel.

 

Thus we see that Cain is a direct descendant of the gods, but Abel is a descendant of Adam and Eve who are human. Now the myth proceeds:

 

The sacrifices which Abel made to Yahveh were pleasing to him, but the sacrifices brought by Cain did not please him because the birth of Cain was not ordained by him. The result was that Cain committed fratricide. He killed Abel and for this he was excluded from communion with Yahveh. He went away into distant lands and founded his own race there.

 

Adam again united himself with Eve and from this union came Seth, also mentioned in the Bible, who took over the role of Abel. Thus we have two generations of mankind; the race of Cain, who was a descentant of Eve and one of the Elohim, and the other race which had human parentage and was brought into existence at the commad of Yahveh.

 

Among the descentants of Cain are all those who have been creators of art and science, as, for instance, Methuselah, the inventor of the Tau script, and Tubal-Cain, who taught the use and working of metal ores and iron. In this line of descent, stemming from the Elohim, were all those who trained themselves in the arts and sciences.

 

Hiram also descended from the race of Cain, and he was the inheritor of all that had been learned by the others of his line in technology and art. He was the most significant architect we can imagine.

 

Out of Seth's line came Solomon, who excelled in everything which came from Yahveh. He was endowed with the wisdom of the world and all the attributes of calm, clear, objective wisdom. This wisdom can be expressed in words which go straight to the human heart and can uplift a person, but is unable to produce anything tangible of a technical nature, in art or science. It is a wisdom which is a directly inspired gift of God and not attained from below through human passions welling up from the human will - that would be the wisdom pertaining to the sons of Cain, a legacy of the other Elohim, not Yahveh. They are the hardworking industriuous ones who seek to accomplish everything through their own efforts.

 

Solomon now decides to build a temple and calls upon Hiram, the descendant of Cain, to be his master builder. It was at the time when Balkis, the Queen of Sheba, was visiting Jerusalem because she had heard of the wisdom of Solomon. And she was certainly impressed and charmed by the exalted and clear wisdom and beauty of the King when she first arrived, and when he made love to her she consented to be his bride. Now she heard about the temple which was being built and she desired to make the acquaintance of the master builder, Hiram. When she first met him she was captivated merely by his glance. As a result, a certain mood of jealousy arose between Hiram and Solomon and the latter wished to do something or other against Hiram, but he was dependent upon him for the completion of the temple.

 

Now came the following: The temple was almost complete. Only one thing was still lacking, which was to have been Hiram's masterpiece; that was the Molten Sea, which was to represent the ocean cast in bronze and was to have adorned the temple. All the necessary mixtures of ores had been prepared by Hiram in a most wonderful manner, ready to be cast. Now, however, three apprentices got to work, whom Hiram had found so lacking in skill that he had been unable to promote them to become masters. They had therefore sworn to be revenged on him and desired to prevent the casting of the Molten Sea. A friend of Hiram, who got to know about these plans, confided them to Solomon, so that he should prevent their realization. But Solomon, through jealousy, did nothing to stop them, because he wished to destroy Hiram. The result was that Hiram had to look on while the whole casting disintegrated due to the addition of a wrong ingredient in the mixture by the three apprentices. He tried to quench the bursting flames by pouring water over them, but this only made matters worse. Just as he was on the point of despairing about the work ever being completed, Tubal-Cain, his ancestor, appeared to him and told him that he should not hesitate to cast himself into the fire, as he was invulnerable to the flames. Hiram did as he was advised and came to the center of the earth. He was led by Tubal-Cain to Cain, who there resided in a condition of pristine divinity. Hiram was thus initiated into the Mystery of Fire and into the secret of bronze casting, receiving from Tubal-Cain a hammer and a Golden Triangle which he was able to carry with him as a pendant round his neck. Then he returned and was able to complete the casting of the Molten Sea and to put everything in order again.

 

Hereupon the Queen of Sheba consented to become Hiram's bride. He, however, was set upon by the three apprentices and murdered. But before he died, Hiram managed to throw the Golden Triangle into a well. As no one knew where he had disappeared, a search was made. Even Solomon was afraid and was anxious to find out what had happened. It was thought that the ancient Master Word could be betrayed by the apprentices, and therefore another one was devised. The first word to be spoken when Hiram was discovered should be the new Master Word. At last Hiram was found and was able to utter a few last words. He said: "Tubal-Cain had promised me that I shall have a son who will be the father of many descendants who will people the earth and bring my work - the building of the Temple - to completion. Then he pointed to the place where the Golden Triangle was to be found. This was then collected and brought to the Molten Sea and both were preserved together in the Holy of Holies. They are only to be discovered by those who can understand the meaning of the legend of the Temple of Solomon and its Master Builder Hiram.

 

 

********************

 

 

What follows is a somewhat expanded version of the Temple Legend, with more detail:

THE LEGEND OF THE TEMPLE

 

Ancestry of Hiram Abiff

Solomon, having determined on the erection of the Temple, collected artificers, divided them into companies, and put them under the command of Adoniram or Hiram Abiff, the architect sent to him by his friend and ally Hiram, King of Tyre. According to mythical tradition, the ancestry of the builders of the mystical temple was as follows: One of the Elohim, or primitive genii, married Eve and had a son called Cain; whilst Jehovah or Adonai, another of the Elohim, created Adam and united him with Eve to bring forth the family of Abel, to whom were subjected the sons of Cain, as a punishment for the transgression of Eve. Cain, though industriously cultivating the soil, yet derived little produce from it, whilst Abel leisurely tended his flocks. Adonai rejected the gifts and sacrifices of Cain, and stirred up strife between the sons of the Elohim, generated out of fire, and the sons formed out of the earth only. Cain killed Abel, and Adonai pursuing his sons, subjected to the sons of Abel the noble family that invented the arts and diffused science. Enoch, a son of Cain, taught men to hew stones, construct edifices and form civil societies. Irad and Mehujael, his son and grandson, set boundaries to the waters and fashioned cedars into beams. Methusael, another of his descendants, invented the sacred characters, the books of Tau and the symbolic T, by which the workers descended from the genii of fire recognized each other. Lamech, whose prophesies are inexplicable to the profane, was the father of Jabal, who first taught men how to dress camels' skins; of Jubal, who discovered the harp; of Naanah, who discovered the arts of spinning and weaving; of Tubal-Cain, who first constructed a furnace, worked in metals, and dug subterranean caves in the mountains to save his race during the deluge; but it perished nevertheless, and only Tubal-Cain and his son, the sole survivors of the glorious and gigantic family, came out alive. The wife of Ham, second son of Noah, thought the son of Tubal-Cain handsomer than the sons of men, and he became progenitor of Nimrod, who taught his brethren the art of hunting, and founded Babylon. Adoniram, the descendant of Tubal-Cain, seemed called by God to lead the militia of the free men, connecting the sons of fire with the sons of thought, progress, and truth.

 

Hiram, Solomon, and the Queen of Sheba

 

By Hiram was erected a marvellous building, the Temple of Solomon. He raised the golden throne of Solomon, most beautifully wrought, and built many other glorious edifices. But, melancholy amidst all his greatness, he lived alone, understood and loved by few, hated by many, and among others by Solomon, envious of his genius and glory. Now the fame of the wisdom of Solomon spread to the remotest ends of the earth; and Balkis, the Queen of Sheba, came to Jerusalem, to greet the great king and behold the marvels of his reign. She found Solomon seated on a throne of gilt cedar wood, arrayed in cloth of gold, so that at first she seemed to behold a statue of gold with hands of ivory. Solomon received her with every kind of festive preparation, and led her to behold his palace and then the grand works of the temple; and the queen was lost in admiration. The king was captivated by her beauty, and in a short time offered her his hand, which the queen, pleased at having conquered his proud heart, accepted. But on again visiting the temple, she repeatedly desired to see the architect who had wrought such wondrous things.

 

Solomon delayed as long as possible presenting Hiram Abiff to the queen, but at last he ws obliged to do so. The mysterious artificer was brought before her, and cast on the queen a look that penetrated her very heart. Having recovered her composure, she questioned and defended him against the illwill and rising jealousy of the king. When she wished to see the countless host of workmen that wrought at the temple, Solomon protestd the impossibility of assembling them all at once; but Hiram, leaping on a stone to be better seen, with his right hand described in the air the symbolical Tau, and immediately the men hastened from all parts of the works into the presence of their master; at this the queen wonderd greatly, and secretly repnted of the promise she had given the king, for she felt herself in love with the mighty architect. Solomon set himself to destroy this affection, and to prepare his rival's humiliation and ruin. for this purpose, he employed three fellow-craftsmen, envious of Hiram, because he had refused to raise them to the degree of masters, on account of their want of knowledge and their idleness. They were Fanor, a Syrian and a mason; Amru, a Phoenician and a carpenter, and Metusael, a Hebrew and a miner. The black envy of these three projected that the casting of the brazen sea, which was to raise the glory of Hiram to its utmost height, should turn out a failure. A young workman, Benoni, discovered the plot and revealed it to Solomon, thinking that sufficient.

 

The day for the casting arrived, and Balkis was present. The doors that restrained the molten metal were opened, and torrents of liquid poured into the vast mould wherein the brazen sea was to assume its form. But the burning mass ran over the edges of the mould, and flowed like lava over the adjacent places. The terrified crowd fled from the advancing stram of fire. Hiram, calm, like a god, endavored to arrest its advance with ponderous columns of water, but without success. The water and the fire mixed, and the struggle was terrible; the water rose in dense steam and fell down in the shape of fiery rain, spreading terror and death. The dishonored artificer needed the sympathy of a faithful heart; he sought Benoni, but in vain; the proud youth perished in endeavoring to prevent the horrible catastrophe hen he found that Solomon had done nothing to hinder it.

 

Hiram could not withdraw himself from the scene of his discomfiture. Oppressed with grief, he heeded not the danger, he remembered not that this ocean of fire might speedily engulf him; he thought of the Queen of Sheba, who came to admire and congratulate him on a great triumph, and who saw nothing but a terrible disaster. Suddenly he heard a strange voice coming from above, and crying, "Hiram, Hiram, Hiram!" He raised his eyes and beheld a gigantic human figure. The apparition continued: "Come, my son, be without fear, I have rendered thee incombustible; cast thyself into the flames." Hirm threw himself into the furnac, and where others would have found death, he tasted ineffable delights; nor could he, drawn by an irresistible force, leave it, and asked him that drew him into the abyss: "Whither do you take me?" "Into the center of the earth, into the soul of the world, into the kingdom of the great Cain, where liberty reigns with him. There the tyrannous envy of Adonai ceases; there can we, despising his anger, taste the fruit of the tree of knowledge; there is the home of my fathers." "Who then am I, and who art thou?" "I am the father of thy fathers, I am the son of Lamech, I am Tubal-Cain."

 

Tubal-Cain introduced Hiram into the sanctuary of fire, where he expounded to him the weakness of Adonai and the base position of that god, the enemy of his own creature whom he condemned to the inexorable law of death, to avenge the benefits the genii of fire had bestowed on him. Hiram was led into the presence of the author of his race, Cain. The angel of light that begat Cain was reflected in the beauty of this son of love, whose noble and generous mind roused the envy of Adonai. Cain related to Hiram his experiences, sufferings, and misfortunes, brought upon him by the implacable Adonai. Presently he heard the voice of him who was the offspring of Tubal-Cain and his sister Naamah: "A son shall born unto thee whom thou shalt indeed not see, but whose numerous descendants shall perpetuate thy race, which, superior to that of Adam, shall acquire the empire of the world; for many centuries they shall consecrate their courage and genius to the service of the ever ungrateful race of Adam, but at last the best shall become the strongest, and restore on the earth the worship of fire. Thy sons, invincible in thy name, shall destroy the power of kings, the ministers of the Adonai's tyranny. Go, my son, the genii of fire are with thee!" Hiram was restored to the earth. Tubal-Cain before quitting him gave him the hammer with which he himself had wrought great things, and said to him: "Thanks to this hammer and the help of the genii of fire, thou shalt speedily accomplish the work left unfinished through man's stupidity and malignity." Hiram did not hesitate to test the wonderful efficacy of the precious instrument, and the dawn saw the great mass of bronze cast. The artist felt the most lively joy, the queen exulted. The people came running up, astounded at his secret power which in one night had repaired everything.

 

One day the queen, accompanied by her maids, went beyond Jerusalem, and there encountered Hiram, alone and thoughtful. The encounter was decisive, they mutually confessed their love. Had-Had, the bird who filled with the queen the office of messenger of the genii of fire, seeing Hiram in the air make the sign of the mystic T, flew around his head and settled on his wrist. At this Sarahil, the nurse of the queen, exclaimed: "The orcle is fulfilled. Had-Had recognizes the husband which the genii of fire destined for Balkis, whose love alone she dare accept!" They hesitated no longer, but mutually pledged their vows, and deliberated how Balkis could retract the promise given to the king. Hiram was to be the first to quit Jerusalem; the queen, impatient to rejoin him in Arabia, was to elude the vigilance of the king, which she accomplished by withdrawing from his finger, while he was overcome with wine, the ring wherewith she had plighted her troth to him. Solomon hinted to the fellow-craftsmen that the removal of his rival, who refused to give them the master's word, would be acceptable unto himself; so when the architect came into the temple he was assailed and slain by them. Before his death, however, he had time to throw the golden triangle which he wore round his neck, and on which was engraven the master's word, into a deep well. They wrapped up his body, carried it to a solitary hill and buried it, planting over the grave a sprig of acacia.

 

Hiram not having made his appearance for seven days, Solomon, against his inclination, but to satisfy the clamor of the people, was forced to have him searched for. The body as found by three masters, and they, suspecting that he had been slin by the three fellow-craftsmen for refusing them the master's word, determined nevertheless for greater security to change the word, and that the first word accidentally uttered on raising the body should henceforth be the word. In the act of raising it, the skin came off the body, so that one of the masters exclaimed "Macbenach!" (the flesh is off the bones!) and this word became the sacred word of the master's degree. The three fellow-craftsmen were traced, but rather than fall into the hands of their pursuers, they committed suicide ad their heads were brought to Solomon. The triangle not having been found on the body of Hiram it was sought for and at last discovered in the well into which the architect had cast it. The king caused it to be placed on a triangular altar erected in a secret vault, built under the most retired part of the temple. The triangle was further concealed by a cubical stone, on which had been inscribed the sacred law. The vault, the existence of which was only known to the twenty-seven elect, was then walled up.

Tending to your Garden

The following summary was actually a quick spiritual garden session I had with Elder Kal and myself.  Instead of putting in the conversation itself, I am posting the message that I "walked" away with. =)

 

Tending to your Garden

 

In these times of awakening and reconciliation, it is easy to find ourselves caught up or overwhelmed as new knowledge and understanding of who we are, what we've done, and where we came from are brought to the fore front of our consciousness.

 

Time is of the essence, many say, as the ascension will take place at a finite date and we all need to be ready for it.

 

But at what expense?

 

Can we afford to rush through your spiritual work, to the point that we say we accept something but only truly understand the vague concept of it?

 

I don't think we can.  That isn't how energy works.  Energy is true to itself - it's frequency is it's frequency.  In order to be compatible with higher energies, we have to actually harbor them within our bodies; within our dna, and the only way to do that is to allow our bodies to accept this change.  To refuse would cause an auto-immune reaction that would lead to sickness, and in some cases, the ceasing of functionality of the 3rd dimensional physical body.

 

We need to tend to the knowledge we are gaining.  We need to care for it, nurture it, help it grow, help it understand itself for it's true context.  If we submerge these seedlings with excess water or "nutrients", we can damage it's growth.  Let the knowledge we are gaining grow so it can be firmly rooted to your being.

 

I have a habit of over-nurturing a seedling.  I am zealous that way.  As a result, I act on ideas before they are fully formulated.  Before they are fully understood.  I often have explosive results, sometimes positive, sometimes...well....not so positive.  But at least my life is always interesting =)

 

Thankfully, with patience, and the help of others, I am able to recognize those things that slow my progress, and transmute them into alternatives that are more conducive to my own growth, and the growth of those whom I love.

 

This is difficult work.  Which means it is worth it =)

Muse - Undisclosed Desires

Undisclosed Desires Lyrics
Artist(Band):Muse
I know you've suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied

Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

A visit to my Garden - item hunting!

Happy Monday Everyone!!!!

 

I was thinking about Anush's most recent post, regarding how we all need to investigate our own gardens more to gain access to our memories and what we need to learn/transmute, etc.

 

I was chuckling because she had made sure to point out that I needed to do the work too.  I thought it was sweet.

 

Little did I know the significance of the item I found would prove her right in pushing me to do more of my own "garden work" lol

 

but I'll get to that in a moment.

 

I was taking a shower, thinking about my responsibilities for the work day, and that today is the day I get to submit my resignation letter (yay!).  And the thought came to me that I really should find some garden work time.

 

then the resistant thought came to my mind that I wouldn't have enough time to do any in depth garden work, because I wanted to be able to do my garden work in a place that relaxed me, and New York is not a relaxing city in the least.

 

But I realized this was avoidance and procrastination manifesting itself, and I needed to make an effort.

 

So, realizing that water is a great medium for AP, I decide to spend the rest of my shower exploring my Garden.

 

and I find that I can do this with my eyes open!  Not the best for focus, but it was interesting to see what Anush meant when she spends 24/7 in the physical and in AP - she's used to the connection being open permanently.

 

Now it's our turn to work on opening that connection.

 

ok, sorry about the side note.

 

I drop into my garden, with the cascading water fountain in the middle, and lush green trees surrounding the perimeter.  It's getting easier and easier to see the details in my garden, so I can see how repeated visits are necessary to truly grasp meaning and information about myself.

 

I decide to check out my armory.

 

a wooden closet immediately extends from the shadows of the woods right to where I'm standing, and I realize, as I open the door, that I can swipe up, down, left, and right, much like an ipad or ipod, to locate different genres and subcategories of weapons.

 

The first weapon I noticed was a huge hammer with pointed ends, that looked like it was chromed. 

 

whoa.  That'll cause some damage.

 

I spun the armory to the left, watching the different types cycle by, and I stop it at a long bow with an arrow that appears to have a poison tip.  Guess I sometimes feel the need to do stealth work, although I prefer direct and organized assaults if I can help them.  People need to know that judgement is coming for them, and just how brutal it will be if they resist lol.  Guess that's why I prefer the sword.  Really shows you mean to do some damage, and that it's personal =).  When you strike, it's deliberate.

 

ok. fun. armory stuff.  lots of them.  I'll check it out later.

 

what else do I have around here.  

 

I notice some armchairs, where I think Anush likes to relax and meditate, nap, you know, enjoy the garden.

 

I wonder what I prefer for relaxation, and look around, but the only thing I notice is my hammock in the other end of the garden.

 

I don't always want to use a hammock.  there must be something else.

 

I lie down on the grass, because I know I love the feel of it, and am astonished when I realize that I can make the grass come up to support me, much like a temperpedic bed!  oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh......that was nice.....I even felt it in the physical.  I'm gonna spend a lot of time doing that =)

 

But I realize I'm still too distracted.  I am not focusing enough on discovering memories.

 

So I call out to Elron and Kal, thinking that there was a good chance they would show up.  I notice two shadows, and I know they are smiling.

 

Me" What's up guys!"

 

Kal and Elron don't say anything - mostly because I don't think I'm concentrating enough to allow a response.  I'm just excited to be talking to them in my garden consciously.

 

I say to them - "I want to see something that will help me with my memories!"

 

and immediately I see an image - of a mother of pearl attached to what looks like a clamp.

 

I see the clamp turn in my mind, from vertical to horizontal, and it releases the mother of pearl into my hand.

 

huh.  interesting.

 

I thank Kal and Elron, knowing I want to wrap up my shower and check this mother of pearl thing.

 

this is what I find lol

 

Mother Of Pearl - To see or wear mother of pearl in your dream, symbolizes renewal, birth and fertility. Alternatively, the dream is telling you to be more focused on your tasks or goals. 

I think I need to focus more and allow less distractions =)  I need to slow down my garden visits and really focus on what is being said, or what I see/experience.  This one was way too rushed, as the mother of pearl clearly suggests.

 

I need to focus on all my goals, not just memory retrieval.  completing a phd in psychology.  working on music, and actually finishing songs.  working on internal boundaries.  important things that matter to me, that I should not be letting take the back seat.

 

Hop up to the front seat guys.  You now get priority =)

 

Guess Anush was right to poke me to do more work.  Thanks Anush!

 

I need to remind myself just how well she actually knows me lmao

 

Either way, that was fun.

The Burning of the Phoenix

Passion.

 

Passion has been on my mind. on my heart. on my soul.

 

It burns. It scorches. 

 

It's hot. too hot.

 

They say most can not bear it.

 

well there are moments that I can not bear it.

 

There are moments when it needs to be released.

 

 

I have been swimming in the currents of a powerful passion, and my limbs are tired from clawing at the ether to stay afloat.

 

I know something must be done.  And I know the physical me has no idea what that something is.

 

So I leave it to instinct.

 

I close my eyes - avoiding my garden at all costs.  I enter it involuntarily, and I believe I surprise some of those whom may be there. I do not want them to see a fierceness in my eyes that I am trying to control.

 

so I jump up to my tree house at the edge of my garden. and I sit there for a moment, before realizing this was a really stupid place to be alone lol, and I whisk myself off the planet, through the center of our sun, and then careen in a shoe-horse patten back towards saturn and jupiter.  

 

There is too much that is close by.  I need to be alone. to get this out of my system.

 

I need to go further.

 

I scan the galaxy - looking at key central sun locations to jump to - but everything is too noisy, and I need to explode. 

 

It's not nice to explode in a populated area =)

 

so I exit the galaxy, and into the nothingness of empty space.

 

I look around me, making sure there is nothing there that can be harmed.

 

and I let go.

 

at first, it I just start to glow a bright yellow, but it quickly envelopes me in swirling flame, with a heat wave that twists and turns like the twister in the wizard of oz.

 

then the fire starts to churn brighter and stronger, with folds of orange and red enveloping my body in swirls burning pure heat of love.

 

and it grows - far beyond the expanse of my body - and forms the giant body of a magnificent phoenix!

 

and the phoenix - which envelopes me - burns brighter and brighter, and as it starts to eb and pulse with the force.  As the power of this burning passion grows, it's eyes are pierced with a burning ray of blinding white light, until it too can barely withstand the intensity of its own fire.

 

For a moment, swirling in a orange, blue, white, yellow, and red mane of fuffling-flaming feathers, I embrace this.  I have known this power a long time, and I cherish it.  It gives me all the strength I need for all my trials and tribulations.

 

It, however, needs to be brought back under control- so I can evolve. so I can grow. so I can re-fuse my own circle, which is whithered and tattered over decades of emotional abuse on this physical planet.  And passion can not be caged, or bottled, or slowly given out in trinkets.  It is released.

 

Enough!

 

I force an incredible surge of pure white love-force into the phoenix, bursting it into ash in a flash of brilliance...

 

and silence

 

and I then I stood there alone - with my body a glittering silver.

 

Like that of a silver rose.

 

I breathe out slowly.  then breathe in, keeping my eyes closed.  I need to maintain the circle within myself that I had just fused back into a whole '0'.  I breathe in again.  and breathe out. 

 

solid.

 

never try to bottle up your passions.  they will always cause you pain.

 

release them, and you will find yourself calm and whole once again. =)

Temperance

I've always had a problem with tempering my passion.  It has always led me to leap before I thought, and I've got the emotional battle scars to prove it.

 

It's hard not to be passionate and impatient when it comes to what you want most.

 

But I am realizing that it is nothing but trouble, this impatience of mine.

 

I'm not saying I need to get rid of it - after all, this is about temperance. Moderation. Control.

 

I know I make those I love uncomfortable with my zealous passion.  I am learning to control it, as I see it causes more harm then good.

 

So...here's to taking it....

The Golden Rose

I was on my way back home from work, enjoying the rhythmic lullaby of the northbound D train as it embarks on it's 30 minute journey from Manhattan to the Bronx, when I came upon my usual point of wanting to nap for the remainder of the trip home.  Napping in this environment is where I usually get my best sleep.  White noise and vehicular movement puts me out like a light.

 

This time, however, I decide that, instead of napping, I will take a rest in my Garden instead.

 

This will be the first time that I have attempted to do this from the physical, as I was not even aware of it's existence until recently.  Naturally, I am curious as to what the experience will be like, but I remind myself to be calm and not impatient, like I can very often be when I am excited about something, so that I can really experience my garden and it's relaxing properties.

 

I close my eyes, blocking the light from the physical realm and dropping myself into the hallways of my veil, where I plan to descend 13 steps to the Astral door to my Spiritual Garden.

 

I used to have trouble keeping any of this intact in my mind, but it is easier now.  I am able to start walking towards the first step, and start to descend in a slow, steady pace.

 

1…2…..3……4

 

As I descend, I glide the fingers of my left hand over the smooth yet somehow chalky (like an extremely fine powder that leaves no residue) texture of the silverish/gray wall beside me.  I love how this wall feels - it calms me, enabling it's existence in my solidify and giving it more substance. 

 

So this is why it is important to interact with objects in the astral plane!  It gives them density, hence purpose and meaning.

 

Cool.  Love it.

 

5…..6….7……..8..

 

As I reach the 8th step, I drop my left hand and turn my focus on the door that is approaching.  My astral plane door to my spiritual garden.  I take a quick second to look at the symbol of mercury and the name thoth, and notice some other name taking shape.

 

It starts with a J….and I can't tell if the second letter is an "a" or an "o", but with either combination I get the feeling of James or Joseph, so perhaps it is actually two names that I am seeing as one.

 

I decide not to linger here, however, as I am on a subway back home and don't have much time at this point to check out my garden.

 

I push open the door to my garden with my left hand, and it swings open left, revealing the large fountain in the center of my unenclosed grassed garden.  Whenever I walk into my garden, if I am calm of course, I like to lie down and feel the blades of grass against my cheek.  This always grounds me even more, and I sometimes like to roll around on the grass like a 5 year old kid, but today I don't have the time for my silliness, but only because I am focused on actually getting something productive done this time.

 

I remember Anush, my twin flame, had told me that I might want to check out a couple of items that were in my Garden, as if I held them together they might show me a message that I had put there.

 

A silver rose and a golden feather.

 

I had given the silver rose to Anush, as it held the power of my love and I needed her to have it.  The silver rose is a give given to your twin flame.  It is what allows balance to be created through love.

 

I love the color silver, which lies within the spectrum between the darkest black and the lightest white.  When contained within this rose, it enables love to embrace the most destructive of tendencies with it's light opposite, allowing it to swirl back to silver as they combine back and forth within the matrix of the rose, towards it's center.

 

Anush had told me she kept the rose on a carved stone pillar next to the fountain in her garden, which is the central fountain in my garden.  I walk to it, and see the rose in front of me.  Picking it up, I am not shocked or pulsed by any foreign feelings - I know this feeling all too well.  It is love!  I have felt this all my life, but never from the one it mattered the most - my twin flame - which is why I gave the rose to her.  I will wait for time to end for her love, and will never stop giving it to her.

 

Ok, I have the rose.  I wonder where the feather is.

 

Let's see…..it's an important symbol to me, so where would I keep it….it wouldn't be somewhere inconspicu….

 

There it is….floating above the central spout of the central fountain.

 

I wonder to myself, "how am I going to get that down from there?", then realize I can just will the feather to my hand.  I call the feather to my right hand.

 

I am supposed to do, or see something when I combine these two items.  I am very curious.

 

I hold them closer together, comparing them to see if something happens, and right when I hold the feather dead center in front of the silver rose, the feather disappears, and the rose is no longer silver, but shimmering gold!

 

So this is what I am supposed to see.  The symbol of the golden rose.

 

Otherwise known as the golden egg of thoth.

 

By combining the all embracing power of love with the delicate balance of the feather of maat (spelling?), one can find the true power of our potential.  The symbol of the golden rose!

 

After this realization, the feather came back into existence, and I flew it back up to the top of the first fountain spout, where it floated without getting wet (somehow...I may need to concentrate more, or less  I guess,  on the layout and feel of the garden, but again, like me, I am in a hurry to find more truths and meaning.)

 

Ok - that was fun.  I'm still in my garden.  I'm still on the train.  This is easier than I thought it would be.  Yay!  I like being a natural learner, it makes things so much less frustrating.  Although one could argue that I am not easily frustrated, and hence am probably more prone to learn quickly. 

 

Doesn't really matter.  It's fun, that's what matters.

 

Since I am here to relax, I figure I'd find out where it is in my garden that I like to take my naps.  I walk by a stone bench, where I like to sit with Anush.  Holding her is one of, if not, my all time favorite thing in this universe, and I know she doesn't like me saying it, especially so publicly in a forum such as this, but that's something my love is willing to bear the force of - and we all know how forceful she can be =).

 

Ok - enough antagonizing Anush - I'm gonna get it as it is for that one.

 

I am alone in my Garden tonight, so I walk by the bench, and realize that there are trees outlying the perimeter of my garden.  And that a really nice hammock is tied between two of them.

 

Perfect =)  I love star-gazing in a hammock.  I really love my garden!

 

I climb into the hammock an start to gaze into the sky.  I see too much treeline and not enough stars, so I push the trees away so I can only see sky.

 

I decide I'm going to take a nap in my garden, while I ride the rest of the train home.

 

A nap within astral projection.  Why not?

 

I gaze up into the sky and just calm my mind, letting the sky fill me up.

 

And I get pulled upwards, out of the sky, and out into a realm filled with golden matrixes, or eggs of some sort.

 

These matrixes contain either universes or galaxies, and they contain the balance of love and the feather!

 

I ask my surroundings where I am, and why I am there.

 

Apparently, I'm more of an empath, and I can just understand without actually needing to hear words.

 

So I start to understand that I am a watcher, or guardian, of at least this particular matrix.  I don't know if I'm the only one, and It doesn't really matter.  That stuff never really matters.  It only takes one to make a difference!

 

I don't even bother to ask what my name is, as I've never been concerned about that either.

 

I like Zanndo though.

 

It makes me think of this: "Z through A", and "0", as in all knowledge encompassed within the all, like a circumpunct or something.

 

I think I committed to breaking up my soul into fragments or something like that to help heal the imbalance that was being manifest in this particular egg/matrix, and have been fighting for balance within it ever since.

 

Ok.  So I understand the connection between the golden feather and the silver rose because that is the necessary conditions for balanced life within any one of these golden ratio matrixes.

 

The golden state of the feather is a fragile one.  The state of the golden rose is even more fragile.  If the silver rose is not perfectly balanced, it can not hold the vibrations of the golden feather.

 

Love is the key to helping any two twin-flames resolve their karmic duties and achieve this golden vibration, which will enable them to travel to much higher realms of consciousness.

 

I thank the ether for showing me what it has shown me, and return straight back to the train, where I realize I am one stop away from my stop.

 

Perfect =)

 

I like this astral projection stuff!

Being Born a Little Brother

I think I understand why I was born a little brother.

 

I always wondered why my older brother never looked out for me.  I mean, he was my older brother.  He was supposed to take me under his wing and make me feel protected, especially since my father was never around.

 

I didn't  understand why he wouldn't reach out to me, show me new things, help inspire me.

 

So I started to annoy him on purpose.

 

I poked him when nobody was looking, then got him in trouble when he retaliated, laughing the whole time.  I would laugh at him when he tried a new style, but only because I was too afraid to ask him what it meant to try out new things and not be part of the crowd for once.

 

Instead of asking my brother questions, I prodded him with annoyances.

 

I poked, and prodded, cursed, and pranced as a little brother.

 

I demanded all the attention as the little brother.

 

I could do no wrong as the little brother.

 

I was miserably lonely as the little brother.

 

 

Then, about two months ago, I found out I was not alone.

 

and about a month ago, I discovered what love truly meant

 

and today I discovered I was an older brother.

 

 

and that I did not pay attention to my brother as I should have.  He needed me most when his father wasn't there and his mother was hellbent on destruction.  I didn't know how to be there for him.  I was frightened myself.  I didn't understand what was going either, but I pretended like I did, because I felt I had to be strong.

 

I was weak.

 

I'm sorry Reiz, my little brother, for any offenses I have caused you in the past.  I didn't mean for this to happen this way, as I'm sure none of us did.  But the reason we are all coming together now is because the past is the past, and I don't want to push you away anymore out of fear.  I want to understand what it is you are curious about, so I can help you find answers.  I've been there too, so I might be able to help.

 

It is hard to take things on faith or trust, so let's just try to take this on truth.

 

Do you feel truth in your heart as you read this, little brother?  I do.  I know I have wronged you, and I am truly sorry.

 

Love you bro

I found out yesterday I had to cover at a site today.

 

I wasn't happy about it.

 

I don't like being told what to do.  I pretend I don't mind, but it drives me absolutely up the wall.

 

Of course, my super-conscience and sub-conscience were aware of this, but my conscious was very much trying to just put it aside and be positive.

 

But I wasn't feeling positive.  And why should I have to put it aside?  

 

I was feeling proud.  Why should I, someone who is capable of so much within this company's framework, be reduced to something as trivial as this kind of work!?

 

False Pride.  It's a tricky thing.   We all work so hard on the things we care about, I never want to see them taken from us, because we feel me might be left with nothing.  I felt like I was being reduced.

 

This is not the case, however.  I am needed at this time.  I accepted this job.  If I submit to false pride now, the karmic ripples, subtle or extreme, still reach out to the cosmos and attract those forces that will help you deal with them.

 

I just had a dream, and in my dream I had at least 3 or 4 authority figures in my current life talking behind my back, but not about anything that I shouldn't be able to share freely anyways (something to do with the physical location of where I was working).  I am hiding, apparently, and when I step out to become visible, everyone just kind of admits I'm there and carries on.  I retain anger, but I do not express it in a form to diffuse the situation.  I sputter facts, and reasons, and accountability or responsibility, when I should be asking these authority figures why I feel the way I do about accountability and responsibility.

 

I woke up frustrated.  Unsure as to why I would have a dream that caused me discomfort after so so so so so so many years (I never have bad dreams, or at least bad dreams that I acknowledge enough to confront head on like this instead of just setting it aside).  So instead of setting it aside this time, I reflected.

 

False Pride, by definition, stems from a fear that I will lose that which I am proud of.  You can never lose love, you can only fear it, and we should always be willing to work for what we love.  If the decisions we make in life reflect what we love, than we will never be able to question the decisions we make because we know we would choose no other option.

 

Resentment is a condition of false pride in that you are projecting the cause of that pride to others, instead of properly attributing it to myself and my fears.  I resented those authority figures for how I felt.  I release that resentment, and my false pride subsides to peace.  I love them for how they challenge me.  I need to be challenged to grow.

 

So, actually, my record is still intact- for this was indeed a good dream =)

The Longest Road (love this song)

MORGAN PAGE - LONGEST ROAD lyrics

(FEAT LISSIE)

Giddy up and gold mine
Different place, different time
All the stars are in their prime
Pastel trailer park, stars so bright to hide the dark
All is quiet in the yard

Giddy up and gold dust, all the cars turn to rust
You've got no means for wanderlust
Pastel trailer park, stars so bright to hide the dark
All is quiet in the yard

If you are so frequently in love
If you prefer it all to me then my love
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and you're just left there

Giddy up and gold mine, horse dust down time
It's my life, it's my time, we've been gettin' nowhere
Gold mine, different place, different time
Hold me down, hold me down
Hope will be found, follow me

If you are so frequently in love
If you prefer it all to me then my love
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and you're just left there

They're waiting for it, you're waiting for it
And you're waving in it, and you're craving in it
If you fill my cup with all you must
To speak from something

If you are so frequently in love
If you prefer it all to me then my love
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and you're just left there
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart and you're just left there

Dream: History-myth: The Scorpion King
Long ago, when all the worlds were new, it was never safe to sleep. Dream, when it began, was all and only Void and Flame, eternal sleep and raw sharp magic, and all who slept and dreamed might lose their souls to shadow and fire, caught and held and fascinated. And while their minds turned to flame, their bodies slept and did not wake, wasting away in the grip of Dream.

Long ago, when one of many worlds was new, there lived a sorceror in a great city, whose daughters were lost to Dream, whose lover hung herself from sorrow. He threw himself into his work, choked with grief, mourning by growing thin and pale with lack of sleep; and when he finally found a way to open a door to shadow and fire, Void and Flame, he had only a single day to live. In life, he had no time, and so he stepped across and let the door fall shut behind him, closed forever. To this day, they do not dream in that place.

The sorceror drifted, shadow surrounding and caressing him, fire in his eyes and ears and mouth, and yet he did not lose himself. Within the endless formless space of Dream, he remained embodied, became himself. Eyeless, Dream saw him; voiceless, it asked, why have you come?

"You have taken everything from me," he said, as fire washed his tongue, as shadow sucked away his words. "I have come to give you everything, that you may not need to take it unasked." And in his soul, Dream saw: worlds with shape and form, worlds in which the living could walk, worlds that had sun and sky and stone and sea. Silently, endlessly hungry, Dream stretched itself to take that vision from the sorceror, reached out to devour it.

"You may not have it," he said.

Why not?

"Make a pact with me," he said. 

Very well. And Dream flooded into the man's shape, taking from him the senses it lacked, the form it did not have. It devoured him and left him whole, flowed in his blood and flexed beneath his skin, and from the place where the sorceror was, Dream bloomed outwards, remaking itself into the form it saw, now that it could see. 

The man, cased in a skin of brilliance like the carapace of an insect, said, "Now we are whole, and what we take, we may return, and what we see, we may become; our children, and the children of our children, will carry in their blood this pact that we have made, and walk in Void and Flame unscathed."

And it was so, and it is so, and it will ever be so.

Valiant Thor Speaks - Repost

I want to thank Brandon for helping to convey this truth, which is a filtration of science, theology, psychology, and all other forms of understanding, into a matrix of what is, pure and simple, just like I like it =)valiant thorPosted by BRANDON on November 29, 2009 at 3:09amSend Message View BRANDON's blogVALIANT THOR SPEAKSCHAPTER ONESalmon Arm, British Columbia, CanadaJuly 22, 1994"Good evening, I am Valiant Thor and I am from Venus."It is very important that earth people attune themselves to three important segments of reality."The three important segments of reality are the conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind. Every atom, electron, neutron and proton, together through fission and fusion, constantly give birth to create a universe."At this particular time, there is a galaxy being formed. On Venus, we have very strong tracking ships which are able to watch this formation occuring with minute detail. Even I have seen a galaxy being formed!"In your consciousness in the physical body there is a 'viewing' reality and an 'understanding' reality. If you were viewing and understanding what you were viewing, by using your sense faculties, which humans possess, you would know exactly what was going on. However, because you have given yourself birth to a physical form on a physical planet, you submerge your consciousness. Therefore, you cannot understand what you 'see' and hence understand 'reality'. This is because you have given birth to a physical form on the physical plane. It is the nature of rebirth in the physical plane to submerge your consciousness."I want you to remember this. You submerge your consciousness. In other words, what is happening is you are giving birth to the consciousness of the physical faculties and you are submerging your unconsciousness to whatever life forms that you were when you gave birth of spirit. To integrate, it is very important to fine tune yourselves."You are part of a beginning of form. There is a beginning of form. When you find out what the aftermath of the Jupiterianeffect really is, you will understand."The beginning of form is giving form to each galaxy so that it has 'a conscious unconscious'. In other words, it doesn't matter whether an object is animate or inanimate; it has consciousness. So consciousness is your awareness of whatever form you are in now."By burying the unconscious to allow consciousness, you are still connected to the unconscious form that you really were as a spirit. A spirit, upon taking the energy of consciousness through form, allows itself the formation of the soul. The soul is simply a memory and the attunement of the awareness of youself as a form. It gives you, what we call, the intellect. However, the facets of the spirit in total are forming. There is no beginning and no end of spirit. The spirit is in total forming. So the spirit that is in total forming will allow the unconsciousness. Spirit is not conscious of anything. It is in neutral. So therefore, deep within the recesses of spirit, we call the unconsciousness."The conscious, subconscious and unconscious will integrate the facets of awareness and impregnate the spirit. The spirit will carry with it the knowledge of omniscience. In other words, total knowledge."What is total knowledge? Total knowledge is knowing each impregnation you had as a soul in whatever form you took in the galaxies, in the universe."The universe is a garden of form. Each garden gives a form of life. Each galaxy represents a form. So therefore, the universe itself, which you may call God, is omniscient totally in the unconscious state. This is hard to understand and you may say, 'How do I understand if it is unconscious, if I'm not conscious of exactly what is going on?'"The unconscious state is the filtration of the superconsciousness. This is why each and every one of you who come to earth has the ability to program into the subconscious at night, to reprogram into the unconscious, to program into the superconscious, the seed. This is the seed of depth of no measurement."The universe has this kind of central mind. It can see everything in its perfection through the unconscious state. Therefore, if it doesn't have a conscious state, there is no such thing as good or evil. Good or evil are the impregnations of a conscious state only. So you are aware of some form of interaction and integration of what you call 'good'. Good and evil are only homosapien concepts that have been handed down culturally through thousands of years of programming on planet earth."So when we look at this programming , it is of great importance to meditate. Meditation, or contemplation, is simply a state of awareness that you enter into in order to receive peace, solice or quietness. This allows the soul the programming to be able to latch onto your consciousness."The unconsciousness carries the imprints of reality. So you look at, what you call, something out there in the sky that doesn't resemble airplane. It is too far away. We put you five feet from it. Now you look at it and you say, 'I can't recall our scientific mind to have anything like this.' So immediately the interaction that is going on inside of you cannot find physical answers in your physical consciousness because it is not there. This is the first viewing of something you would call unidentified. It is really deep down as you submerge into the unconscious. You have somewhere had an interaction in the unconscious state before you had an interaction in the conscious state. Somewhere in that reality in the unconscious state you have already had a life form that was exactly as you are proceeding five feet in front of you as an unidentified flying object."So you interrelate through, what we call, traumatic state. So in the unconscious you have traumatic states where you know yourself. When you get up in the morning you have problems because there is something that hasn't been happening correctly in the conscious state that is coming out of the subconscious state."The unconscious state is very important because all of your realities that don't seem to be realities at this particular time, really in that particular time was a reality. So you are having difficulties explaining to your greatest authorities here on this earth what it is all about; what life is all about."Everybody is locked into the consciousness, you see, so everything has to make sense. Within the conscious state from the five faculties; they are the teachers that tell you what is happening in this universe. But what is happening in the real universe comes from the unconscious state. And that unconscious state is attached in, what we call, the subconscious, conscious and the unconscious.The facets of filtration by going through the unconscious to, what we call, the superconscious state, has got to go beyond the conscious to see something like that. For example, if you see my craft you might think it was just a reflection of a mirror. That is because we travel at a certain rate of speed that we reflect light by travelling into dimensions."Unfortunately, the last twelve days on Jupiter were very, as we call it, tragic to some extent. The entities living inside of Jupiter are of the gaseous state. So therefore, it was a close decision towards two of your days ago, whether they had to evacuate, or whether by allowing the short evacuation around the other side where the bombardment did not do any damage, whether the gaseous state kind of species would survive. Up to this point, as we look at it, we are going to have to, in the next thirty days, because of the state of atmospheric change on Jupiter, we are going to evacuate all of the gaseous entities. And this is why we are going to be using all of our craft with the exception to security to do this."The Jupiterian effect, being in your galaxy, will cause some problems. The problems are; any time you have any kind of nuclear reaction to light, or heavy bombardment to sound, it is interconnected to the whole galaxy. So these sound effects will cause earthquakes. They will cause, as you go into your next six to eight months, some changes to your weather because of the light effect that will block up through ultra violet light, will block up and interfere with the light that comes from your sun."Now, it will take 200 years, your earth time, for this nuclear waste to go into, as you call it, to a safe count where you could be exposed. The resistance and the amount of energy from these nuclear explosions have caused a great storm in the atmosphere of Jupiter. So there will be, what you call, a fallout effect. This will not harm anyone on earth due to the distance that you are away from Jupiter. The only effect that will come is from, as we said, the sound or the blast waves that will trigger off a fine hair in these tectonic plates, These tectonic plates are very vulnerable to something like that, especially on your earth."So to the astronomers watching a celestial light and looking at it for some glorious effect; really mankind has got to get his head together and get himself together to understand what physics is all about."Physics in the universe is a vital tool of creation. Physics, especially when you get fragmentations of a galaxy that has exploded. The fragmentations that you will call a comet out of control is something that one must look at from both, as you call it in your language, a positive and also a negative effect."The negative effect is when it hits another planet in the same galaxy. It is a negative effect to the extent that it does cause, as we call it, some harm to that planet."The positive effect is that when a comet goes through a black hole, it could recreate another galaxy. So there are, and we have to look at the physics of the universe which is very unique in its way. In other words, through fission and fusion you not only have an implosion, you have an explosion. So there are changes done from two different facets which are again causing a new, as we call it, seed in the Father's House creating a new mansion."So the total effects of these kind of explosions and implosions have, what you would call in your language, the positive and the negative. But when you look at it from the unconscious state of integration, what it is doing, it is actually creating another form. That is how you all got here, from the creation of form. So the sampling within the universe through galaxies to express life through form is also expressing life through the unconscious state as well as the conscious state."So integration of the different consciousnesses within the inner universe and the outer universe is what controls life light beginnings and endings. But it is constantly revolving around an eternity that gives light to the animate/inanimate and also to the soul and soulless. Something interesting to understand is that there are entities who do not have a soul. That is interesting in the galaxies. So interesting in your state that it is maybe a state of fear."Where there is no soul, therefore, that kind of consciousness is always like, what we would call it, a mad scientist. This is a great universe that gives seed to different galaxies and to different forms. It is always a continuum. There is no beginning to an unconscious state. You can only understand a conscious state because of the physical makeup you are in now."Once you go into, say a very strong experience in the galaxy through say, the spirit kingdom, then you will understand more about life and form. That is your choice as you leave here.Every 26,000 years, each galaxy, depending on its origin, goes through a phase of ascension. This earth, at the start of 1987, was impregnated with its first phase of galactic change. The first phase of galactic change will be an offspring of Jupiter. The second phase will start happening on your earth towards the end of this century."The hate and the madness of mankind has to come out. But it has to come out through, it seems, through a different process. And if you look at typical examples, like your Bosnia area, Rwanda, the filtration of that light is taking great effect because some of you have accepted through millennial light the new birth change concept of the ascension in order to uplift yourself into a higher consciousness to avoid a physical, as you would call it, cataclysmic ending."The year 2000 will bring birth to a very important understanding. Mankind will go through a very strong sifting in the year 2000 to the year 2007, envisoned by Daniel as your great tribulation. Some of you may look at it and say, 'Well there is big, bad times that are happening in the earth now'. These will start happening. So take note that this energy change is highly effective every 26,000 years as the restructuring of galaxies and the removal of this kind of system, as you call it."This system will destroy itself. Your government system will destroy itself and you will find that in those years of 2000 to 2007, be prepared to be the greatest barterer that you ever can be."Your money system, because of the rising debt that you have in your economy will never be paid. And when your taxes reach 70 percent of your earnings, that is when you will stop and defend yourself as your own government unit. This is what we mean by falling off."Each system, through the change of what we call the millennial light, those people who are believing in the unconscious superconscious state of themselves, will give birth to that. It is that simple. You will give birth to the unconscious to be birthed into the superconscious state. And you will avoid, as we call it, cataclysmic ending to a society who possibly could have made changes. But because of the differences now in your cultures and especially in China and the other yellow races are going to find great explosions."The uncontrollable earth, they call it right now. I can just see my friends here with all their data and the programming. So the coming of this millennial light in the year 2000; from 2007 and 2011, you will have entities on this earth in the 5th and 6th interdimensions."So how are you groomed? You are groomed by those who are already in the 5th and 6th dimensions. You can't see; so in actual reality those space ships that you are seeing are in the 5th and 6th. You are only getting glimpses."I have to stop and change this silly instrument. {Note: Valiant Thor reversed the tape on the tape recorder}"See that? I even know how to do this. Very strange, your instruments. We can talk through light beams. If I want to talk to you 93 million miles away, I talk through one light beam. This light beam will travel, as we call it, at the speed of interdimensionality. So we will get from one dimensionality to another within seconds."Hard to understand. But when you get into these unconscious superconscious states of evolvement, then you can understand why there is no frequency. See, you have an energy system on your earth that has burnout. This is what stops things from working on a perpetual basis. This is burnout. You have got to get away from that and into the idea of creating whatever you need to fulfill that purpose. That's it! To fulfill that purpose."Now, talking about the every 26,000 years and getting strongly into the millennial light on earth, similar to other galaxies, you have a blending of the unconscious into the superconscious state of omniscience and full understanding of one's self."Great changes will take place from the year 2000 to the year 2007 and to the year 2011. You will be getting the final segment of ascension from the years 2011 to 2022."On each segment one master number of eleven will thereafter set the stage proper. "The body will last, in this case, 1000 years as foreseen as the millennium."The millennial light is the guidance of knowledge that takes you into and through all of these stages of interdimensionality to arrive to a superconscious state. What will happen to this planet earth after the year 2097, there will be a perfection of masters. After that, there will be no need for people to come back to pay karma in a form that you are in now. The earth will strictly be for masters."It is hard to understand those segments. But as you get higher into your consciousness and as you realize right now looking at your scientists of the great progress in outer space, we find this interesting. But we find it almost like a waste of time because when we view it, we look at it from the perspective, of course, of our advancement. This is wrong because even as an earthling you have to start somewhere and begin to advance somehow."There will be a big change in your Apollos and your Discoveries, whatever you will call your spacecraft, especially in the year of 2011. You will find that you will be travelling on interstellar polarity to many dimensions, to whatever being you are going to."So this idea then may ask the question of 'Beam me up Scotty'. Why do they not then, being in the gaseous state on Jupiter, just beam themselves up into another higher dimension? It is because they have allowed themselves to be of solid, liquid, gas, gaseous, electrical states of form in a galaxy that has a life similar to this. So when you are in that form, then you are restricted to only the knowledge that that form will give you. That is why we have our spaceships there on alert. So we do when we come into other galaxies that need evacuation. That is one of our purposes because our craft can travel at an extremely fast speed, if you wish to call it that."If you are in, say my state, which is in more of the electrical state, then I can 'beam me up Scotty' because then I don't have frequency. When you have burnout in frequency, you have lasting form of energy that only lasts a certain length of time. We go into, what we call, recreative energy."Recreative energy is a constant replenishment of energy as you go along. There is no depletion of energy in that state. If I was to give you the dimensions of, say my engine room, and how it really works and you took it to one of your smartest engineers here on Earth, they would laugh silly. So you see that when you are progressing in another state of consciousness how you lose that kind of concept. Wherever you are in the galaxy, you have a certain kind of concept and that is the concept that is your experience."Have an open mind. Some of you are in a new age metaphysical movement. Some of you will touch upon, what we call, fourth gear. There is a four-wheel drive in meditation, if you can find it. There are all kinds of things in the unconscious state that you will start to use. This is why, in some of your galaxies there is extinction. There is only extinction of form. Understand?"When they went, say through an ascension on the planet of Owander in the galaxy of Exxon, when they went through the change, they went completely through the ascension into the subconscious, unconscious and superconscious and died to the extinction of their conscious form. So why certain forms become extinct is because they believe in ascension. They don't believe in procreation constantly."This is why some of your Zetas are having problems. They need a little bit of an education because they are going into extinction and they are doing it in a manner that is not really acceptable on your earth terms, what you would call your social norms, what you would call kosher, or what you would call what is right and what is wrong. I agree with you. They are out of control. But if you do not fear them, you have won the battle. They only strive on fear. Remember that. They are soulless. Some of them are referred to as Satan's angels."Now, who is Satan? The word satan just means another soulless person that went out of control through extinction when he was in the Godhead; when he was an archangel. You could fall and you could go up. Going up is called ascension. Falling is called death. I want you to remember that. There is a very important principle here."When you come into a new knowledge or strong feeling, work with what you call your gut feeling because that gut feeling is tied into the unconscious superconscious. You have spurts here. You have great feelings. You have deja vu's. You hear voices. But you see, when we talk to some of your earthlings, you will hear voices. But if you go to your very intelligent men, called your psychiatrist, we should call him a psychiatwist, they will say you are completely off course because you can't have that kind of sensation because you have five physical senses and this is all you can pick up because this is what our medical charts say. And you don't fit on page 59. 'Well, let us see now. We'll take you to a small place, put a white jacket on you and treat you'."There are many sane people in the insane asylums. Let me tell you, when we are dealing with these high consciousnesses, we are dealing with no boundaries of intelligence."Sometimes your insects called ants are very intelligent when they build their homes on high ground when they already know that there is going to be a bad winter and a lot of flooding. It makes me wonder, even in your insect world, how that strong vibration that comes to a little ant who takes warning and yet when some of you people hear voices, some will listen, some will just say it is nonsense and some will not even act and some will get castigated."It is a strange world when we only work on our five physical senses. We are going to be prisoners to our own social norms that we make from the five senses. It is your loss because you came here with the unconscious state of the mind. So as one of your great teachers said, Sigmund Freud says you are only using one-fifth of that power within your mind."He was touching upon and very close to the unconscious. And we could go on and on; great people like Jung; great people in your existence of psychiatry, of psychology, who were tapping in. Albert Einstein, Edison, were all tapping into a strong voice, whether it was the voice of electronics, whether it was the voice of invention, or whether it was the voice of guidance. It is for you to decipher the voice."There is a voice that is eternal inside of you. And this voice can only be understood when you start to submerge deep into the understanding of the understanding of yourself."I say to you this evening in finality. It is interesting, interesting species wherever you go. Each and every one of you is related. No matter what form you are, you are related. You are related in the unconscious mind. You are all from the same source that gives birth to whatever form you are taking at this particular time. I want you to remember that. There is only one brother, one sister, one father, one mother. And it is called God/Goddess, the unconscious. And it is part of you."I leave you tonight and say alahoy."Chapter Two!Valiant Thor Speaks Main Page!Read more: http://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/valiant-thor#ixzz1Kayhhy1n

Thrym's Lay - from the Poetic Edda

"Thor was distraught when upon awakening one morning he discovered that his mighty hammer Mjölnir was missing. His shaggy head and his beard quivered as he, the first-born of Mother-Earth reached around for it.

 

His first words were: "Loki, listen to me! I have suffered a loss beyond perception. My hammer has been stolen!"

 

They hurried to Freyja's home, and he said: "Freyja, will you lend me your feather-robe so that I can find and retrieve my hammer?"

 

Freyja said: "I would give it to you, even if it were made of gold or silver."

 

Loki then flew, with whirring feathers, from the home of the Æsir to the land of the giants.

 

Thrym, the King of the Thurse, [The Thurse were a race of giants] was sitting on a mound, pleating golden halters for his hounds and smoothing the manes of his mares.

 

Thrym said: "How are the Æsir, and how are the alfs, and what brings you to the land of the giants?"

 

Loki said: "It's not well with the Æsir, nor with the alfs. Are you the one who hid Thor's hammer?"

 

Thrym said: "Yes, I hid Thor's hammer a full eight leagues beneath the ground. And no one can get it from me unless he brings Freyja here to be my bride."

 

Loki then flew, with whirring feathers, from the home of the giants to the land of the Æsir. Thor met him in the central courtyard, and he said:

 

What good news do you have to report? Have your efforts been rewarded? Tell me, even before you light, what you have learned. A sitting person is often forgetful, and a lying person lies. [The play on the two meanings of "to lie" also exists in the original]

Loki said: "My efforts have been rewarded. Thrym, the King of the Thurse, has your hammer. But no one can get it from him unless he brings him Freyja to be his bride."

 

They hurried to Freyja's home, and Thor said: "Freyja, dress yourself in bridal linen! The two of us are going to the land of the giants."

 

Freyja grew angry and foamed with rage. The entire hall shook with her fury. The necklace of the Brisings [The necklace of the Brisings is also mentioned in Beowulf] broke apart. She said: "I would have to be the man-craziest of all to go with you to the land of the giants."

 

All the gods and goddesses of the Æsir hurriedly assembled at the Thing to discuss how they might retrieve Thor's hammer.

 

Heimdall, the fairest of the gods and one of the prophetic Vanir, foretold the future:

 

"We shall dress Thor in bridal linen, and adorn him with the necklace of the Brisings. Let him wear a woman's clothes with a bundle of housewife's keys dangling about him and with bridal jewels at his breast and on his head."

 

Thor, the mighty god, said, "the Æsir will call me cowardly and womanish if I allow myself to be dressed in bridal linen."

 

Then Loki, the son of Laufey, said: "Save your words, Thor. The giants will soon take over Asgard if you do not retrieve your hammer from them."

 

So they dressed Thor in women's clothes and bridal linen and adorned him with the necklace of the Brisings, with a bundle of housewife's keys dangling about him and with bridal jewels at his breast and on his head.

 

Then Loki, the son of Laufey, said: "I will be your servant girl, and the two of us will go to the land of the giants."

 

The goats were driven home and tied with ropes to run with them. The mountains burst and the earth broke into flames as the son of Odin rode to the land of the giants.

 

Then Thrym, the King of the Thurse, said: "Stand up, you giants, and cover the benches! Bring me Freyja, the daughter of Njörd from Noatun, to be my wife!"

 

In my yard I have cows with golden horns, pure black oxen, everything a giant could want; I have riches and treasures; Freyja alone is all that I lack.

 

That evening they brought ale to the giant's table, and Sif's husband ate an entire ox, eight salmon, and all the baked goods that they brought for the women, and then he drank three measures of mead.

 

Then Thrym, the King of the Thurse, said: "Have you ever seen a bride bite more sharply? I have never seen a bride bite more broadly, nor have I ever seen a maiden drink more mead."

 

The maiden quickly responded to the giant's words: "Freyja was so eagerly awaiting the land of giants that she ate nothing for eight full nights!"

 

He peeked beneath her veil, wanting to kiss her, but then jumped to the back of the hall with a single bound. "Why are Freyja's eyes so terrifying? They seem to be aglow with fire!"

 

The maiden quickly responded to the giant's words: "Freyja was so eagerly awaiting the land of giants that she did not sleep for eight full nights."

 

The giant's poor sister entered and begged for a bridal gift: "If you want my friendship and love, then please give me those red-gold rings from your arm."

 

Then Thrym, the King of the Thurse, said, "Bring the hammer so that we may consecrate the bride. Lay Mjölnir in her lap, from the hand of Vár [Vár is a goddess who hears and enforces oaths and contracts], and let us be consecrated as a pair.

 

Hlórithi's [Hlórithi is another name for Thor] heart laughed within him when he saw his hammer. First he struck down Thrym, the King of the Thurse, and then he slew all the giant's kin.

 

He also killed the giant's poor sister who had begged for a bridal gift. Instead of shillings she received blows and instead of rings, a hammer hit. And thus Odin's son retrieved his hammer."
