You do not need to become a vegetarian or learn to walk on water. You do not need to start wearing saffron robes and chant every evening. You do not need to change your lifestyle which may include sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. You do not need to change anything - although if you change the way you see things - a spiritual life will bring so much joy and contentment - and you will change.

 
IF A SITUATION SEEMS NEGATIVE, OR SOMEONE SEEMS TO HAVE WRONGED YOU... LOOK UP ALL THE FACTS BEFORE YOU MAKE JUDGMENT... YOU WILL PROBABLY FIND THAT THE SITUATION HAS GROWN OUT OF INNOCENT AND UNAVOIDABLE CIRCUMSTANCES

ALWAYS LOOK AT ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS FROM A POSITIVE ANGLE

NEVER TRY TO CONTROL A SITUATION OR AN OUTCOME ESPECIALLY IF THE SITUATION HAS ACTUALLY ARISEN THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE RATHER THAN YOURSELF

LOOK WITH LOVE ON ALL THINGS, AND A POSITIVE OUTCOME WILL ALWAYS BE ACHIEVED ONCE YOU LET GO OF CONTROL

LOVE IS THE ANSWER TO ALL THINGS AND BOY, SOMETIMES THAT CAN SEEM SO HARD - AS WE LIVE IN A VERY FEARFUL SOCIETY THESE DAYS WITH MUCH DANGER AND STRIFE AND WE ALL NEED TO LEARN SOME FORGIVENESS - FOR OUR OWN ACTIONS AS WELL AS OTHERS, BEFORE WE CAN ACHIEVE INNER PEACE.

 

 

 

 

Portugal's Prince Henry the Navigator is now praised as the one whose vision and sailing innovations made possible the great Atlantic explorers that rounded the Cape of Good Hope and discovered America - and the one who made his efforts because his status as a noble required him to "carry out very great deeds." The truth is less inspiring - he and his successors sent forth sailors down the coast of Africa to bring a trading fortune to the king, thus launching the very first of what became the Atlantic/West African slave trade. Worse, this enormously profitable slave trade was justified as an essential part of new Great Crusade against the Moors, 'the infidel' and the 'sect of Mahomet' (Muhammad). And the heartbreaking misery of slaves was justified because their souls were to be saved as they were converted to Christianity:

"Prince Henry wanted to make a name for himself as a Crusader doing battle with the Moors, and by sending his men against the Africans of the Sarahan coast, and by describing his battles with them to the rest of Europe as a succession of triumphant conquests against the Moors, he could do just that. [A 1441 voyage he commissioned] represents a landmark event in history: the moment when the official Portuguese slave trade in Africa can be said to have begun. ...

"Later that year, after the first small cargo of African slaves had arrived in Portugal (ten of them, probably Berbers), Henry recognized that his sailors had opened the door to something big. ...

"As Portuguese sailors began bringing slaves back to Europe, Henry realized that he stood to make great profits by eliminating the Arab and Genoese middlemen who had for so long dominated the North African slave trade with Europe. [His hagiographer] Azurara claimed that Henry also had a loftier goal in mind as he began to oversee the capture and enslavement of more and more Africans: 'salvation for the lost souls of the heathen.' Henry was doing his captives a favor. 'For though their bodies were now brought into some subjection,' Azurara explained, 'that was a small matter in comparison of their souls, which would now possess true freedom for evermore.' " ...

"Skeptics in Portugal who had previously complained about the great expense of Henry's African ventures developed a sudden change of heart when they noticed 'the houses of others full to overflowing of male and female slaves'; overcome with envy, Azurara wrote, they had to 'turn their blame into public praise.' ...

"The easy pickings along the Saharan coast [soon] disappeared. Africans living along the Saharan coast knew to flee inland at the sight of Portuguese ships. Slavers and profit seekers sponsored by Henry therefore had to press farther and farther south in search of unsuspecting victims, and the result was inevitable. In 1444, a Portuguese squire named Diniz Diaz put out to sea and, according to Azurara, 'he never lowered sail till he had passed the land of the Moors [now Morocco] and arrived in the land of the blacks [the modern-day countries of west Africa].'

"But it wasn't just merchants and sailors who had noticed Portugal's African discoveries. For decades the Portuguese had worked hard - and successfully - to convince the Church that their raiding trips along the West African coast were part of an organized Crusading campaign against the Moors. Prince Henry was instrumental in this effort, and indeed nobody in Portugal had better credentials for the job. From 1419 until the end of his life, in 1460, he led Portugal's branch of the Order of Christ (a successor organization to the Templars), and in that capacity he wrote to the Church in Rome repeatedly with reports of his valiant efforts to wrest West Africa away from the infidel.

"The news from Portugal pleased the Church. During the first half of the fifteenth century, a succession of popes issued a series of official decrees, or bulls, giving religious sanction to the Portuguese conquest of all African territories not already in Christian hands."

Toby Lester, The Fourth Part of the World, Free Press, Copyright 2009 by Toby Lester, pp. 184-196.

John's comments: It seems there are no ends to which the church has stooped in its eagerness to dominate the world and save souls in the name of Christ, just as long as they were on the winning side and it was a gain to them financially and in sheer numbers converted. Regardless of black or white,  it was all about numbers and being the dominant religion, the biggest,  the most followed,  the best,  and anything else was considered damnation.  This gained them power over anyone and everyone and to hell with the actual truth of what Christ said and to hell with actually offering true love and a conviction of basic humanity, kindness and love;-   unless you consider enslaving innocent millions with cruel and inhuman treatment where beatings, torture and murder  were all facilitated in the name of Christ.  This church, this institution, the barbaric madness done in the name of religion is pure evil and the church, in its way, is no better today.  The Pope disagreeing with the UK's laws on equality and how gays are not worthy - is pure evil. the vile and hate filled agendas of this nasty little man is evident through his words and actions and if ever there was an Anti Christ - he resides in the Vatican and always has.

 

 

Why are gay men called Faggots ?
by John Bellamy

When the Bible was put together as a ‘library’ – or as a ‘collection of books’ – which is what the word Bible means, it was massively edited. (around 200 - 400 BC) Many of the biblical documents were disliked by the founding fathers of the church and simply thrown out, and some have since been found in 1947 – The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Gnostic Gospels. What was left was massively edited and many aspects of Christ’s teachings were simply changed and distorted to suit the church. For a start - Reincarnation was taken out, and Hell and Satan were put in. Sexuality was also demonized and we have had almost two thousand years of hell and damnation surrounding sexuality, and it is no wonder society is so screwed up when it comes to this aspect of human nature.

This was done in order to gain control over people so that the Christian church could rule supreme above all other religions, however entrenched in the human psyche they were at the time..

Prophets were revered as long as they were dead – and as you couldn’t edit what someone was still preaching, the church saw live prophets who wouldn’t keep to the edited versions of the teachings, a threat, and called them evil witches.

The church actually turned their backs on the very people that just a few generations earlier, they had revered.

Most of the prophets were women and gay men and throughout the world, women and gay men were often the Shaman, healers, sooths and holy person, as they share similar bridges in the brain that allows for an intuitive connection to God, and the church feared this direct connection, and so saw fit to burn these people at the stake claiming them to be speaking the words of Satan. .

The church actually denied the word of God and murdered those who God spoke through.

---------------------------------

In the middle ages, people lived in small hamlets and villages and countries like England were covered in thick dense forests. These prophets – these healers – knew about herbal remedies to help with pain and bleeding etc. and the local people would visit in times of need and respected and befriended these odd balls who often lived apart from the community – deep in the woods, and when they spoke their wisdom’s, the locals listened. The church in their fear of trying to keep people in the towns and so not hear any pagan or alternative truths compared to their edited versions, hunted down and murdered these people for generations, just to stop anyone from hearing something alternative.

Stories like Hansel and Gretel were written in order to frighten children from venturing into the woods to play and so enabled the church to garner a strangle hold on what they were taught. By keeping them in the hamlets and villages, they would not meet the pagans, the alternative gypsies, and would not hear about the older religions.

The ‘witch’ was then placed at the top of the fire while the gay men were bundled together and put at the base of the fire with the bundles of kindling wood and all were burned alive.

Anything that is bundled – is called a Faggot, and over the years the word has come to stand for homosexual.

Mothers told their children to hide any special gifts they may have had otherwise the church would come for them, and within a generation women and little girls had forgotten, or switched off, their intuitive gifts, and gay men went into the closet and nailed the door shut behind them.

The Biblical writings were then edited and the claim was made that God hated homosexuals, which is NOT what the Bible originally said at all, and any claim otherwise is simply wrong. Biblical writings never mentioned homosexuality, at least, certainly not in a negative aspect.

The book of Leviticus is a guide book of health given by the Rabbi’s to the tribes as they wondered around the deserts dying out from food poisoning, to much inter breeding and bad hygiene. In order for the tribes to become strong, they needed good diets, good sanitation and strong families making strong babies. Gay men don’t make babies, and the Rabbi knew that this had to change in order for the tribes survival

Leviticus was edited accordingly and has been changed several times over the centuries, and in 1947 the word ‘homosexual’ was added to some of the English translation Bibles, but DID NOT replace an older word in translation as the ancient languages never had a word for homosexual. So it’s admission into the Bible is an abomination.

According to Leviticus, eating crab, lobster, rabbit and pork, is an abomination. Touching dead pig skin – growing more than one crop in a single field, interbreeding different cattle ( from which – 95% of the world milk comes from ) and even having your beard trimmed in a specific manner, are all abominations. Wearing a fabric made from two different blended fabrics, is as much an evil and two men fornicating together, ( according to the Bible ) and when the Born Again’s or the Jehovah Witnesses come banging on your door and start swallowing their tongues when you tell them you are gay… just remind them that their cotton and polyester shirt or sweater is just as much an abomination as anything else in the Bible, and that being selective in their belief structure,- is not what God intended. If the Bible truly is the word of God, then no man should be selective in what they choose, or not, to believe.

As that is not very Christian.

BUDDHISM

From modest beginnings in India in the sixth century BCE, Buddhism spread through Asia and along with it arose a vast chain of Buddhist monasteries that by the seventh century CE provided commercial and diplomatic links throughout the Asian world. This network of monasteries extended from Persia (Iran) and Afghanistan through the steppe country to India, China, Korea and Japan, and then south to Java (Indonesia). Some monasteries housed more than 10,000 monks. Yet within a century, most Indian kings were patronizing Hindu gods and temples, and Buddhism began to disappear from the country of its origin, though it continued to flourish elsewhere:

"In Buddhism, the individual monk was responsible for his own progress toward enlightenment. It was up to him to seek knowledge, study, and find the correct path. In [the sixth century CE], the institutional structure for this search was the chain of monasteries across much of China. ...

"Buddhism spread steadily within India and out from India along both land and maritime trade routes. By the first centuries of the Common Era, Buddhism was the predominant religion in the sprawling Kushan Empire that stretched from Central Asia through Pakistan and Afghanistan to the plains of India. Monasteries were an important part of every oasis town on the caravan routes from Afghanistan to China. Some monasteries were built in isolated places to accommodate caravans whose traders, in turn, donated money for their upkeep. Along water routes, Buddhism spread from India to Sri Lanka, into Southeast Asia, and eventually reached coastal China. ...

"Buddhist monasteries provided practical benefits for both a king and his subjects. The chain of monasteries was an infrastructure that promoted trade. Wherever Buddhism flourished, traders were prominent patrons of shrines and monasteries. One incarnation of the Buddha, the compassionate Avalokiteshvara, became a kind of patron saint of traders and travelers. In a world of disease and death, monasteries were also repositories of medical knowledge. ...

"Everywhere Buddhism flourished it was supported by royal and noble patronage, supplemented by pious women and traders. Across the chain of Buddhist institutions moved teachers, ritual objects, texts, medicines, ideas, and trade. Curiosity and hospitality were hallmarks of the system. Although specific practices might differ, all Buddhist travelers, whether monk or layman, found similar settings and symbols in Buddhist monasteries and rest houses."

Bible abuse of homosexuals

the web page below makes interesting reading

http://.www.biblicalresearchinstitute.com/sodom.html

http://www.createdgay.com/def.html

Genesis - Chapter 19  /  Leviticus - Chapters 18 & 20

Judges - Chapter 19  /  Romans - Chapter 1

1 Corinthians - Chapter 6  /  1 Timothy -Chapter 1

Jude  /  Reflections

The term dates from the late 19th century, when human sexuality began to be studied as a science.

There is no term that means homosexual orientation in the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts of the Bible.  The authors of the Bible did not understand sexual orientation and thus did not write about it. Biblical authors had little or no understanding of same-sex committed relationships. Rather, they assumed that everyone was heterosexual, but that some heterosexuals engaged in sex with persons of the same gender. Thus, when you see one of these words in an English translation of the Bible, it is important to dig deeper and find what the original Hebrew or Greek text really means.

BRINGING YOU HOME

Channeled through John Bellamy / 27th & 28th March 2004


Today is a new beginning for you. The energies being transmitted to and from Mother Earth and humanity have changed,- they have gone up a double octave, and humanity now has the ability to vibrate at a much higher level than it has ever done before. Your Lightbodies can create a balanced harmony wave between the physical and the etheric and this links the soul and the physical mind in order to transmit these frequencies throughout your physical world of matter and the mental world of thought.

In bygone days when individuals increased their vibrational energy levels and yet were still living in the lower – more dense environment with their fellow man, it was hard and many could not accept the life they were forced to continue living. Some went mad. Some were hunted down by the church and those who feared them and burned or drowned, and some, quite literally, managed to ascend and leave the lower levels behind and continue on with their journey unencumbered by those who would deny them the truth and by their heavy physical bodies.

These energies are used in forming matter from energy in the creation of what you perceive to be reality, and the higher the level, the purer the thought, the more you manifest Heaven on Earth and so move into the light. With the coming of the Aquarian Age comes great responsibility for humanity as s/he struggles and fights against change whilst knowing it is inevitable. The few, it seems, are ready and are making a huge song and dance for everyone else to witness and to open their awareness as to what is happening, and although many consider this to be crazy and inhuman, their eyes will be opened, their minds will expand and they will all become fully open and ready to embrace the change that started to take place a long time ago.
These are the final days, my children, these are the exciting times that many of you have been waiting for, planning and working hard towards, and there is little for you to actually do, now, but wait, sit back and watch, enjoy and wonder at how easy – how magnificent and how majestic is the power of the ‘All That Is’ and how you make that power work.

For it is you. The energies you call God, are you, and without you, nothing matters as nothing exists, not even what you dream of in your wildest imaginings, as nothing is being created without your matter mind to create it.

God can imagine and create anything – but only in consciousness – and matter does not reside in consciousness. Matter lives in a deeper, more dense world that inhabits a lower frequency band, and it is here that humanity has found a home for many millions of years – and it is here than the conscious mind has become trapped and imprisoned, partly because of the lower energy but mostly because you, as free will beings, have chosen this level of understanding and imprisonment as your home, for fear of change. The church and society has been so well maintained to hide the truth from you concerning the reality of reality, that for you, the reality is what you see, feel, taste, hear and smell, and you have allowed your 6th sense to become dormant and little used. There have been those who have stood forward and made statements through this 6th sense and these people have been persecuted and destroyed in a bid to keep humankind in its emotional and psychological prison. But the time is at hand when a jail break has been slowly commencing and more and more people – more and more minds – have escaped – have grown wise, and have found a journey out of the quagmire of your own making and have moved into the light.

It is happening more and more each day. To people around you and to those you meet. Some are aware, while others are not. Some are helping while others resist. Whatever they choose to do, is their choice and we respect their decisions. For nothing is ever wrong. It may seem so, but the outcome of every situation – EVERY SITUATION – is guaranteed and known before the thought that creates the situation has even been had by the mind that ultimately, in the human form, created it. It may seem like a jumble of confusion, pain and anguish, love and joy, ups and downs, but the Divine Plan is in action at all times and in all minds – regardless of how it may seem to you.

Trust and all will be revealed. Believing is seeing.

The time is at hand for all to know the truth and I can only ask that you be who you were born, this time, to be, and do what is in your heart. Nothing matters. Your ‘job’ as you see it – is to do your best – and we ask nothing more, in fact, we ask nothing at all. You are creating your own destiny for yourself, your fellow man and your world and how you choose to follow that path is and always has been, totally up to you and no-one else. Many pray to God for help and advise and guidance – and God is always there to help and assist, and it is your conscious thoughts that create the answers to your prayers and your own physical matter that creates the answers. Not what you perceive to be God.

Be of the light. Be aware of the new energies and realize them in your body mind and soul.

They are here to help bring you home.

 

 

                              

 

  'Change your thoughts,
to change your world.'

Channeled through John Bellamy

I
found this piece on my computer some months after writing it and was surprised to see that I was up and channeling at 8.30am.
When I read it, it moved me dearly,- for although written in my style, this piece came through me by the energy known as the Archangel Michael, which is the first time I had ever channeled in this manner before.
I hope you enjoy it.

8.30am/28/04/03

....................................


These are truly trying times for you, my children and I am here today to remind you that nothing new is occurring on your planet at this time that you yourselves have not  manifested into reality, and that which you have chosen to see and live by.
.
Y
et the time is right for you to see a different path, a different angle on your worlds problems and anxieties;- for by continuing to concentrate your energies on 911, the war in Iraq and all the other warring factions that predominate your news bulletins and media with amazing repetition;- will it continue.
.
For your thoughts are very powerful, and in keeping your mind trapped in negative thoughts of death and destruction, of murder and persecution, conspiracy theories and manipulation, lies and deceit; will it continue.

For you are creating it.   That is not to say you must ignore and turn the other cheek in order to pretend it does not exist and so live out your life, your reality, in a cocoon of innocence and positive thought while those around you are hurt. Nor does it mean that you are to blind yourself to the pains and anguish on your planet at this time;- for there is much of this being created by so many;- yet you alone can change it.
These changing times. This painful age for many. As you say, the shit is hitting the fan, and only by concentrating on the positive, the good, the honest, the truth and the loving, will anything ever change. Does that seem like a long shot in the dark, a dream, a fantasy of unrealistic possibilities that has been imagined by someone with high hopes and a misconceived illusion for the future? Someone who has high hopes for humanity maybe far higher than you personally believe capable ?
.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Perhaps the one stumbling block in all of this is your belief structure.  For many believe that nothing can change, that they are victims that they cannot alter the world and the multitudes of people because, after all, they are just one.  Yet the power of one is the power of all that is.
.
The universe as you know it evolves around the thoughts  of just one person, you.  For no-one else sees it quite the way you see it;- no-one lives life quite the way you do; no-one else has the potential for change quite the way that you have, and no-one has the power within themselves to manifest honesty, truth and love into the world in quite  such a way, as you.
.
Collectively you can do this. Collectively you HAVE done this,  as this war, this fear based place you find yourselves  living within since 911,  has in fact been manifested by you alone and no-one else.
.
Strange as that may seem.
.
F
or collectively your fear based emotions have generated a being, a fellow human being into existence, to facilitate great angers and great fears in order to manifest more of the same, and you have contributed towards this. Each of you who live in fear and anxiety for your daily lives and for the future of humanity..
You want to rid the world of great evil, and when you try to do this with tanks and bombs you find it creates a whole new vista of evil you had no thought or awareness of beforehand, and those you are liberating see you as an equal to the evil you are trying to rid. All of humankind are equal and all of humankind understands the concepts of love and freedom, yet many deny this to others as a way of freeing them, yet are enslaving in much the same way as the regime they are removing.
.
For limiting and denying another the freedom of will, and the freedom to live, behave and believe in their own religion in their own way, is denying them the rights as human beings and as spiritual souls to their own version of freedom and free will and denying another this basic spiritual law of understanding, is denying the soul its journey forward - especially now. The time has come for all of humankind to take a step out of this darkened place it has dwelt under for so long, and move into the light of understanding and love.
Only through the realization that one man, one woman
or even one child,   can and will change this world of yours,- forever.
.
Only through seeing with different eyes. Only by changing the basic premise of your thoughts. Only by willing something to happen and having faith. Only by having a belief. Only by trusting in the power of what is right and only by listening to the truth that you know to be the truth that dwells within your heart, will you change your thoughts and ultimately change the future for all of humankind.
.
You understand my words as you read them and you know that what is said is true. Your ego mind may deny as your freedom of thought will struggle to accept. Allow the truth to wash over your consciousness and allow it to rest for a while within your being. Be with it and make friends with it. Allow a different picture to manifest within your minds eye and permit a different dream to form within, manifested through acceptance and love. For all that is - is in perfect order at all times.
.
It may not seem so and it may seem wrong to you, but the only thing in all of this,  the only thing that will ever need to be changed, is not a warring nation or a dominant and cruel dictator or the armies of an enemy, or any such thing. No-one will ever change your world in such a way , and no notion or political ideology will ever work;- nor any religious, cultural or endemic belief will ever be of any use to a single one of you, if your thoughts are trapped within your head in a negative fashion.
.
Only by thinking in a different way.
.
Only by changing your views on the world and on what  you perceive to be reality,  will you ever transform anything..
Positive thought is the most powerful weapon you can ever choose. More powerful than anything your scientists or armies, church or priest, have ever possessed. . So be at peace within yourselves. Take responsibility for all that you say and do and watch out for those damning words, those spiteful thoughts and those moments when you think we should just go bomb the hell out of them.
.
Read. Listen. Discern truth from untruths and if it does not serve humanity as a whole, then it is an unsound path to follow.
.
W
hen a nation takes up arms against another and hides its reasons behind lies and mistruths in an attempt to rid the world of what it perceives to be an evil, then that nation is as wrong and as evil. When one nation states that 'You are either with us, or against us' - this denies others the freedom of thought,- the freedom of will, and the freedom of being an independent soul on its own journey.
.
S
end loving thoughts for Saddam, Bush and Blair. Send loving thoughts for all those you fear and surround these beings with loving energies from within your soul. For they are you.
.
Be at peace within yourselves and the world will be manifested accordingly.


In peace

Michael

Dear Friends,

Life is a beautiful interplay of imagination and manifestation.  Known in other ways as feeling and thought, feminine and masculine, yin yang, each requires and adds to the other.  In an amazing dance that allows us to create and recreate our world, these energies continuously merge into each other to form a union that brings wholeness to our expression.  Inspiration held with determination is what creates our physical experience and when this process is conscious and balanced, great manifestations result that benefit all.

Identified simply as our feminine and masculine aspects, these forces combine to make up our innate creative potential. Although often exemplified by our gender, we must take care not to confuse this strictly with being male or female.  Both of these potent energies are a natural part of each of us and provide the very mechanism for our ability to exist.  They are our right and left brain functioning as one, with love and logic in perfect harmony.

For millennia, cultures have held a fundamental focus and tendency towards the masculine aspect having dominion, where physical manifestation is at the cost of suppressing our intuitive, holistic, and imaginative, feminine energy.  This ongoing and increasing imbalance has formed a great rift from our once splendid ability to create with wisdom, universal vision and magnificence. 

Thus we find many men using their will to make things materialize regardless of cost to the whole, while subordinating their feminine equal into roles that ignore and trivialize the nurturing and imaginative aspects so vital to life.  Likewise, many women deny their ability to fully realize their creations in manifest form and perpetuate the dilemma of subservience to male domination.

In recent times, we have born witness to a re-awakening of the feminine energy.  For many females, this has been a necessary reclaiming of their “goddess” energy or divine feminine, which in reality is their embracing the fullness of both aspects essential to manifest, including the masculine will. In men, however, we often find confusion and frustration as this loving energy begins to percolate throughout their existence.  They are beginning to feel once again, and yet with so few examples as to what this means, there is a tendency to remain in the only perspective they have known for so long.

Life always seeks balance. With an increasing awareness of cause and effect, we are quickly seeing that what happens in one part of the world instantly affects the whole just as our thoughts and feelings work together in our personal experience.  We are coming to realize that it is up to each of us to embrace our true creative potential and ensure that we balance the feminine with the masculine.  Nowhere is this more evident than with the men who have been constantly using their unbridled will without regard to consequences. 

It is time for the divine masculine to emerge through love.  What does this mean? It is a wakeup call for each to embody their highest potential of masculine energy.  Rather than perpetuating an imbalanced approach to creation that ultimately leads to destruction and chaos, it is our distinct opportunity to embrace and express our integrity, honesty, dignity and compassion.  It is allowing the rising feminine energy to blend with our masculine to make enlightened and loving choices.  By consciously acknowledging and incorporating our imagination, intuition and feelings, with courage, strength, and an open heart, we birth a new world where love, wisdom and power are always in balance.

Love, light and peace,

Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes:     

Dear Grand-daughter, 
     
The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker .. 
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by  thunderous prayer meeting. 
So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. 
Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.  
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in
thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It  is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked,  I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus! 
While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!' 

'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!' 
     
What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!  Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the  air. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. 
     
Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!! A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. 
     
So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through  the intersection. I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave hem after all the love we had shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!! 
     
Will write again soon,    Love,  Grandma

 

 
 

 

This Simbol(Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other.

While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen: just as things expand and contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.

Yin and Yang In Medical Theory

The concepts of Yin and Yang and the Five Agents provided the intellectual framework of much of Chinese scientific thinking especially in fields like biology and medicine The organs of the body were seen to be interrelated in the same sorts of ways as other natural phenomena, and best understood by looking for correlations and correspondences. Illness was seen as a disturbance in the balance of Yin and Yang or the Five Agents caused by emotions, heat or cold, or other influences. Therapy thus depended on accurate diagnosis of the source of the imbalance.

The earliest surviving medical texts are fragments of manuscript from early Han tombs. Besides general theory, these texts cover drugs, gymnastics, minor surgery, and magic spells. The text which was to become the main source of medical theory also apparently dates from the Han. It is the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine, supposed to have been written during the third millennium BCE by the mythical Yellow Emperor. A small portion of it is given below.

The Yellow Emperor said ''The principle of Yin and Yang is the foundation of the entire universe. It underlies everything in creation. It brings about the development of parenthood; it is the root and source of life and death it is found with the temples of the gods In order to treat and cure diseases one must search for their origins.
"Heaven was created by the concentration of Yang, the force of light, earth was created by the concentration of Yin, the forces of darkness. Yang stands for peace and serenity; Yin stands for confusion and turmoil. Yang stands for destruction; Yin stands for conservation. Yang brings about disintegration; Yin gives shape to things....

The pure and lucid element of light is manifested in the upper artifices and the turbid element of darkness is manifested in the lower orifices. Yang, the element of light, originates in the pores. Yin, the element of darkness, moves within the five viscera. Yang the lucid force of light truly is represented by the four extremities- and Yin the

turbid force of darkness stores the power of the six treasures of nature. Water is an embodiment of Yin as fire is an embodiment of Yang. Yang creates the air, while Yin creates the senses, which belong to the physical body When the physical body dies, the spirit is restored to the air, its natural environment. The spirit receives its nourishment through the air, and the body receives its nourishment through the senses

"If Yang is overly powerful, then Yin may be too weak. If Yin is particularly strong, then Yang is apt to be defective If the male force is overwhelming, then there will be excessive heat. If the female force is overwhelming, then there will be excessive cold. Exposure to repeated and severe heat will induce chills. Cold injures the body while heat injures the spirit When the spirit is hurt, severe pain will ensue. When the body is hurt, there will be swelling. Thus, when severe pain occurs first and swelling comes on later, one may infer that a disharmony in the spirit has done harm to the body. Likewise, when swelling appears first and severe pain is felt later on, one can say that a dysfunction in the body has injured the spirit....

"Nature has four seasons and five elements. To grant long life, these seasons and elements must store up the power of creation in cold, heat, dryness, moisture, and wind. Man has five viscera in which these five climates are transformed into joy, anger, sympathy, grief. and fear. The emotions of joy and anger are injurious to the spirit just as cold and heat are injurious to the body. Violent anger depletes Yin; violent joy depletes Yang. When rebellious emotions rise to Heaven the pulse expires and leaves the body When joy and anger are without moderation, then cold and heat exceed all measure, and life is no longer secure. Yin and Yang should be respected to an equal extent.

The Yellow Emperor asked, "Is there any alternative to the law of Yin and Yang?"

Qi Bo answered: "When Yang is the stronger, the body is hot, the pores are closed, and people begin to pant; they become boisterous and coarse and do not perspire. They become feverish, their mouths are dry and sore, their stomachs feel tight, and they die of constipation. When Yang is the stronger, people can endure winter but not summer. When Yin is the stronger, the body is cold and covered with perspiration. People realize they are ill; they tremble and feel chilly. When they feel chilled, their spirits become rebellious. Their stomachs can no long digest food and they die. When Yin is stronger, people can endure summer but not winter. Thus Yin and Yang alternate. Their ebbs and surges vary, and so does the character of the diseases."

The Yellow Emperor asked, "Can anything be done to harmonize and adjust these two principles of nature?" Qi Bo answered: "If one has the ability to know the seven injuries and the eight advantages, one can bring the two principles into harmony. If one does not know how to use this knowledge, his life will be doomed to early decay. By the age of forty the Yin force in the body has been reduced to one-half of its natural vigor and an individual's youthful prowess has deteriorated. By the age of fifty the body has grown heavy. The ears no longer hear well. The eyes no longer see clearly By the age of sixty the life producing power of Yin has declined to a very low level. Impotence sets in The nine orifices no longer benefit each other....

Those who seek wisdom beyond the natural limits will retain good hearing and clear vision. Their bodies will remain light and strong. Although they grow old in years, they will stay able-bodied and vigorous and be capable of governing to great advantage. For this reason the ancient sages did not rush into the affairs of the world. In their pleasures and joys they were dignified and tranquil. They did what they thought best and did not bend their will or ambition to the achievement of empty ends Thus their allotted span of life was without limit, like that of Heaven and earth. This is the way the ancient sages controlled and conducted themselves.

"By observing myself I learn about others, and their diseases become apparent to me. By observing the external symptoms, I gather knowledge about the internal diseases One should watch for things out of the ordinary One should observe minute and trifling things and treat them as if the were big and important. When they are treated the danger they pose will be dissipated. Experts in examining patients judge their general appearance; they feel their pulse and determine whether it is Yin or Yang that causes the disease.... To determine whether Yin or Yang predominates, one must be able to distinguish a light pulse of low tension from a hard. pounding one With a disease of Yang, Yin predominates With a disease of Yin, Yang predominates When one is filled with vigor and strength, Yin and Yang are in proper harmony.

From modest beginnings in India in the sixth century BCE, Buddhism had spread through Asia and along with it arose a vast chain of Buddhist monasteries that by the seventh century CE provided commercial and diplomatic links throughout the Asian world. This network of monasteries extended from Persia (Iran) and Afghanistan through the steppe country to India, China, Korea and Japan, and then south to Java (Indonesia). Some monasteries housed more than 10,000 monks. Yet within a century, most Indian kings were patronizing Hindu gods and temples, and Buddhism began to disappear from the country of its origin, though it continued to flourish elsewhere:

"In Buddhism, the individual monk was responsible for his own progress toward enlightenment. It was up to him to seek knowledge, study, and find the correct path. In [the sixth century CE], the institutional structure for this search was the chain of monasteries across much of China. ...

Buddhism spread steadily within India and out from India along both land and maritime trade routes. By the first centuries of the Common Era, Buddhism was the predominant religion in the sprawling Kushan Empire that stretched from Central Asia through Pakistan and Afghanistan to the plains of India. Monasteries were an important part of every oasis town on the caravan routes from Afghanistan to China. Some monasteries were built in isolated places to accommodate caravans whose traders, in turn, donated money for their upkeep. Along water routes, Buddhism spread from India to Sri Lanka, into Southeast Asia, and eventually reached coastal China. ...

"Buddhist monasteries provided practical benefits for both a king and his subjects. The chain of monasteries was an infrastructure that promoted trade. Wherever Buddhism flourished, traders were prominent patrons of shrines and monasteries. One incarnation of the Buddha, the compassionate Avalokiteshvara, became a kind of patron saint of traders and travelers. In a world of disease and death, monasteries were also repositories of medical knowledge. ...

"Everywhere Buddhism flourished it was supported by royal and noble patronage, supplemented by pious women and traders. Across the chain of Buddhist institutions moved teachers, ritual objects, texts, medicines, ideas, and trade. Curiosity and hospitality were hallmarks of the system. Although specific practices might differ, all Buddhist travelers, whether monk or layman, found similar settings and symbols in Buddhist monasteries and rest houses."

How can your Imagination help you receive Intuitive messages?

Research has found that the exact same areas of the brain light up whether we are viewing an actual physical object, or the same object imagined. Science reasons from this that our brains can’t tell the difference from the actual thing or the imagined thing. Therefore, when we are thinking about something either real or imagined we are transmitting that same vibration.

The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction says that which is like unto itself is drawn, in other words, whatever we think about whether it is a real object or event, or an imagined object or event, the same vibration is being transmitted… and objects or things of a like vibration are drawn to you.

Your Guidance System

Whenever we are thinking about, or acting upon, or talking about something that IS in harmony with our higher intentions for this lifetime, then our higher selves offer a good feeling in response. However, when we are thinking or doing or speaking about something that is NOT in harmony with our higher intentions then we are given a not so good feeling in the moment of that thought. This let’s us know clearly when we are walking our Path and when we’re not.

Which Feels Better?

When attempting to receive an answer to a question you might have about a decision you must make, try this… First, think of one of the choices you could make. Think about what you would be doing if you made that choice, and while doing this notice how you feel. How does your stomach feel? Does it feel queasy? Tense? Nauseated? If so, this is your guidance system telling you… better not choose this way. Then, think of another of the choices you could make, continuing the process of thinking about it and then checking in with your feelings.

Which choice feels better? Which one brings you a sense of peace? When you can answer these two questions affirmatively about the same choice, then you have your answer!

Checking in with your feelings is beneficial when standing at a crossroads of decision making.

I played a similar game with a friend of mine one time where we both went to a tree-forested park arriving in different cars and parking in different lots, with the intent of trying to find each other by using our feelings to give us a sense of direction. While doing this, I thought about whether to go on this path or that one, and then I would check in with my feelings while considering each direction independently. I discovered that I always received a better feeling when I was thinking about moving in the correct direction! It didn’t take long to reach my destination! I walked right to him in a park the size of a square mile!

Fine Tuning

If you have trouble, you might want to reconsider daily meditation as a way to sensitize yourself to these feelings which are your guidance system.

What do your ‘feelings’ tell you about the benefits of meditation? If you realized that meditation would sharpen your focus and clarify the guidance you receive from your higher self, would you find the time to practice daily?

Something fun and light below...

One of our favorite jobs has been leading junior church.  We try to do more than baby-sit our church's beloved little ankle-biters during their time in our special junior church facility.  We aim to give them a solid background in biblical history. At the end of each year, we give them pencils and paper and ask them to chronicle what they have learned. This assignment never fails to elicit some intriguing responses.  In case you're a little foggy on  your biblical history, let our junior church students help you with this complete overview of the Bible, compiled from their essays:

In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas.  The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one,' but I think He must be a lot older than that.  Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did.  Then God made the world.  He split the Adam and made Eve.

Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet.  Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Even.  Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.

Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.   One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a ham.  Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it.  He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.   

After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.


Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people.  These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable. God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti.  Then He gave them His top ten commandments.  These include don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's bottom (the Bible uses a bad word for bottom that I'm not supposed to say. But my Dad uses it sometimes when he talks about politicians.) Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.
             
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua, who was the first Bible guy to use spies.  Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.
   After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot.  He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines.  My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.  

After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets.  One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore.  There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.

After the Old Testament came the New Testament.  Jesus is the star of the New Testament.  He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn, too, because my mother was always saying to me, Close the door!  Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.')

During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Republicans. Jesus also had twelve opossums.  The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.        

Jesus was a great man.  He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus.  He just washed his hands instead.  

Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again.  He went up to Heaven, but will be back at the end of the Aluminum.  His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

There!  Now you understand

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli,
Cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red
Vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live
Long and healthy lives.

Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy
Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, 'You want hot
Fudge with that? And Man said, 'Yes!' And Woman said,
'I'll have one too with chocolate chips'. And lo they
Gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might
Keep the figure that man found so fair.
And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and
Sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went
From size 12 to size14.

So God said, 'Try my fresh green salad'. And Satan
Presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on
The side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts
Following the repast.

God then said 'I have sent you healthy vegetables and
Olive oil in which to cook them'.
And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns,
Butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak,
So big it needed its own
Platter, and Man's cholesterol
Went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat
And brimming with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the
Starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them in animal
Fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on
More pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that
His Children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control
So Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And
Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering
Light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer
Calories and still satisfy his appetite.
And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double
Cheeseburger. Then Satan said 'You want fries with
That?' and Man replied, 'Yes, and super size 'em'.
And Satan said, 'It is good.' And Man and Woman went
Into cardiac arrest.

God sighed......... And created quadruple by-pass Surgery.

And then .......... Satan chuckled and created The National Health Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION
After an exhaustive review of the research literature,
here's the final word on nutrition and health.:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
6. The French eat Foie-Gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like.  Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

MEMO FROM GOD:

Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes you need to make in your life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill my promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. I know, I already gave you the 10 Commandments. Keep them. But follow these guidelines, also.

1. QUIT WORRYING
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you ? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to me. And although my to-do-list is long, I am after all, God. I can take care of anything you put into my hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even
realize.

3. TRUST ME
Once you've given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on my list. Problem with finances ? Put it on my list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster ? For My sake, put it on my list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE
Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave me your burdens nd I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started ? Leave them with me and forget about them. Just let me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME

I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please don't forget to talk to me - OFTEN! I love you. I want to hear your voice. I want you to include me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with me. I want to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in me that I know what I'm doing. Trust me, you wouldn't want the view from my eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?

7. SHARE
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget ? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

8. BE PATIENT
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes me a little longer than you expect to handle something on my to-do-list ? Trust in my timing, for my timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND

Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for my sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring > if you were all identical. Please know I love each of your differences.

10. LOVE YOURSELF
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself ? You were created by me for one reason only - to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes my heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget that!

With all my heart, I love you, GOD


Religion is for those people who believe in Hell.
Spirituality is for those of us who have been there

CELTIC FENG SHUI

for beginners

from a book by Christine McAnaney
e mail christine@celticfengshui.co.uk

I found this book at a festival some years ago and Christine herself was behind the counter. We spoke and she was absolutely charming. She later came to my home in Hammersmith to give a talk on the subject and we had about 20 guys turn up for it.
We were all fascinated.
Her book is an easy to read guide showing you how to apply simple techniques to improve and enhance your home and workplace, and by following some of the things mentioned, it was amazing how the energies in my home changed. The most interesting thing for me, was the house numbers, detailed below, which was spot on for my London house and spot on for Hamilton Hall, and I wish to share that bit with you here.

THE NUMBER OF YOUR HOUSE , where you add all the numbers of your house together until you end up with a single number, and that’s the number you check against the list below. So – my old address was 61 Southerton Road, and 6 + 1 = 7 : so the number for me while at that address would be 7.

In a house where there are letters in the address, such as 15A Clapham Avenue, the letter is regarded as a number and counted accordingly… A = 1 : B = 2 : C = 3 etc.

So a house at 15A would be 1+5+1 = 7.

See how you make out from the list below:

House number 1:

This is about openness, independence and self development. People attracted to this house are usually on solitary journey. It can be good for individual creative careers. Although there can be a tendency to isolate in this house it is also good for self-reflection and getting in touch with emotions. It is a good place to begin to understand the next step in life’s destiny.

House number 2:

The two house is where we find balance and harmony. A place to discover others as mirrors of ourselves. A place to understand relationships and partnership ventures. We learn to surrender to the opposite and find ying and yang balance.

House number 3:

The three house is about bringing spirituality into our lives, connecting mind, body and spirit. A good house for creating openness, growth and optimism. This is a place where different cultures can live together easily. It is a good house for parties and socializing. A good house if wanting to start a family. A positive house.

House number 4:

A house for gaining security. Here we have the meeting of the four elements. Good for establishing roots and future foundations. Good for group gatherings but not parties. Nurses, or those in the helping profession are usually attracted to these houses. There can be a tendency to over work and take life too seriously.

House number 5:

The number five house is about freedom. It is a very lively and active house. It is ruled by Mercury and therefore is about communication. Often chosen by journalists and those in the media. It is ideal for travel and exploration. However, it is a house for free spirits, much partying and romantic flings. Therefore, it is not ideal for close couples.

House number 6:

This house is good for family and children. People in the caring profession, counsellors and co-dependants are often attracted to this house. A good house for establishing close relationships. Ruled by Venus, it is a house where strong emotions are felt.

House number 7:

In this house you can work easily with the mystical side of life. Although not a good house for gaining wealth and relationships , it is a good place to connect and commit to a spiritual cause. Clairvoyance, intuition and psychic energy can be felt here.

House number 8:

This house is good for creating abundance. Leaders and those guiding or in authoritive positions will do well here. Good friendships can be established here. As there is a lot of activity in this house and much to be gained, there needs to be a focus of energy, otherwise friends may get neglected and will feel exhausted.

House number 9:

The nine house is about completion. Ruled by Mars which inspires, leads and generates. This is a good house to connect with world preservation causes and to gain knowledge of a global kind. Spiritual leaders do well here and will find that people will take note of them. All work previously undertaken will come to fruition here.

'CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD'
a book to change your life - with Nealle Donald Walsch and God
editorial by John Bellamy


Some years ago now, a man was really pissed off.  His life seemed to be going down the toilet, and late one evening, he chose the rather redundant idea of writing a letter to God complaining about his lot in life. If nothing else, it might make him feel good or as a ritual, might change his viewpoint somehow.

He sat and he wrote for some hours, a five page letter getting it all off his chest. Job. Money. Family. Relationships. Life. Death. The lot just poured onto the paper, and when he finished, he sat there with the pen in his hand and relaxed.

But his hand moved across the paper and wrote something extra that he was not in control of.

It said – “Which question would you like me to answer first.”

Being a little confused, and probably tired by the lateness of the night, he wrote in answer –

“Who is this.”

And once again, pen in hand, it wrote

“God of course. You wrote. Did you think I wouldn’t reply.”

This grew into a most unusual correspondence between the man, Neale Donald Walsch, and God, and we have had the pleasure of this conversation in the first of several books entitled ‘Conversations With God’ which was number one in the New York Times Best Sellers List for OVER 18 months when it was released some years ago.

In the book, God talks to us all as a kindly parent would, just speaks about all the points that Neale had written about and that effect every one of us daily. Work, Relationships, Money, Sex etc.

Of all the books I have read, and of all the books I have promoted as a MUST READ, Book One in the trilogy is the most important and easiest read you might ever find in your entire life, and although you can continue reading a hundred other spiritual / religious books to find your journey, this one book has all the answers you are ever likely to need. It has changed many peoples lives for the better. Mine included.

I wept as I read it. I highlighted great sections and underlined prophetic points. I re-read chapters twice because of the implications and ease in which God lays it all on the line. And I felt I was having a very personal relationship – my own conversation, with God.

I can’t even begin to tell you how delighted I was to find this book. To learn how God views us, and how we have all been misinformed about what God is, and how God sees things and how – to be honest – evil – God has been made out to be by various institutions whose jobs have been at stake, and the control of mankind through its damnable vision of God, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

For God loves us unconditionally, and in the book God states that even Hitler went to Heaven, as there is nowhere else he could have gone. Hell doesn’t exist ( it was invented by the Roman Church to garner control over our souls )

I fell deeply in love with God – for the first time – really – and have had my own conversation with God ever since.
Sadly, many don’t even like the thought of there even being a God at all, as after 2,000 years of dogmatic rhetoric from the various church’s damning our souls to the hell-fires for just about anything they could think of and claiming it was all being done in the name of God, many have turned, or are turning, away from anything to do with God, which is a shame, as this book, this marvelous book, enlightens your soul and welcomes you back to a God who loves you unconditionally.

Completely.
