What is the tree of life?

2010-11-02T03:57:52-08:00

i believe after decades of research and empirical evidence, the tree of life is the cannabis plant!
the holy anointing oil in the original Bible specifies the ingredient ,,kaneh bosum” = cannabis, vai kaņepes.
the king James version, of which the Latvian Churches’ Bible is a derivative translation, lists calamus not cannabis.

So this is the challenge!

Holy anointing oil containig calamus is now on sale for , wait - $14.95

Thou shall not worship false gods! Beware of false Prophets!

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.—Ezekiel 34:29

“The Lord said unto me, ‘I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs.’ ”—Isaiah 18:4-5

“Lord, when did we see thee sick or in prison and came unto thee?” And the King will answer and say unto them, “Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethern, ye have done it unto me.”—Matthew 25:39-40

A special day ushering in a special time?

2010-12-21T01:26:02-08:00

Winter solstice, full moon, heading into Xmas, 2010 leading up the New Year of 2011 building to 2012, the Mayan “end of the world”??? Does 2012 usher in a special time? A time of real change?? Do you believe in any of this?

Upon what does your belief rest? The Talmud, (Tree of Life) Torah, The Bible, your mom and dad, the afterlife, your friends, your families, your heritage?

What is faith if not a belief in something bigger and better than ourselves? Do you have faith? Are you faithful? To what? To Whom? To whom? Why?

Questions to ponder during this season of faith

I thank G-d I’m here to see this day, grateful to be able to contact some of you and hoping faith is alive and remains in our hearts eternally

Wishing everyone the best

On Quantum reality and different dimension

2011-02-16T23:06:49-08:00

Perhaps this is really what the Hindus call Maya, reality is all a fabrication, of our brain-minds. We are made perfect, but chose to become imperfect, therefore we are mortal beings, but with a Soul. This Soul could be perhaps part of a parallel reality, where we have pseudo-bodies. Or maybe not. Here are some of my thoughts on this matter, and based on my experiences: THOUGHTS ON QUANTUM THINKING AND FORGETTING:

Perhaps there is a degree of Quantum Physics even in the reality of so-called Newtonian (at least

I call it that) reality. Perhaps we influence the very fabric of reality, that is of physical

reality. When we go down to subatomic physics, what you look at a piece of sub-atom, it is

either a particle, or a wave, depending upon how and when you measure it, apparently, even though

I do not really know that much about physics.

What is interesting is then, I thought, how come it is when we think of something, of the way

reality is structured, then why is it not always the case that reality is of what we think it is.

To give an example, let’s say I think I have my car keys in my right pocket… when they are not

actually there. Let’s say it’s night-time and I went to an errand to get a newspaper, and a soda

pop, and when I get home I’m slightly tired. ThenI reach in to my right pocket, because I wanted

to put the keys away onto my desk, and lo and behold my car keys were not there.. they were in my

jacket pocket, or maybe my other pants pocket, since I’m getting ready to be ready for school

tomorrow, and I like everything organized.

So, then why is not reality as we think it is, if we can influence reality- so-called Quantum-ly?

Perhaps the case is that we do influence reality, but that sometimes we remember to forgot, and

at other times we forget to remember where we put our keys, our wallet, perhaps a banana, or even

that extra steak you made the other day. Why is it that we forget where it is? Perhaps there is

a bona fide reason why. When our car keys are in our left pocket, and actually we think they are

in our right pocket, perhaps we are not forgetting, but as if it’s a parallel universe, we are

remembering to forget. Since if we remembered everything, we would be perfect and we are not.

We do not remember each and every car that we pass, and that goes past us, on all sides, for

instance when we are driving to work, or some such usually, if we are in the big cities, or even

in smaller towns. We remember to forget because otherwise we would be as gods, and we are not

gods. The DATA INFORMATION SYSTEM called our brains, or quite simply and as a matter of fact,

our minds actually never make mistakes, and somehow remembering to forget is programmed into our

consciousness, if not in the next life as a spirit, then at least now it is. We are programmed

to forget, since if we remembered everything consciously of what our DNA has done to evolve us

towards our current selves, we probably could not function as human beings. What is the case, is

that probably the DNA, and the RNA, for that matter, has gotten a side-computer let us say, or

extra-brains, if you will of given us a human brain. The messages are in the universe, and

merely what is needed to pick them up is our DNA, our RNA, and our physical brains, which are

connected to our physical bodies. If we think our keys on the other hand are in our right

pocket, and actually in our left pocket, then it also may be the case, that in an alternate

universe, our keys are actually in our left pocket, and the other universe where we do not

forget- and indeed, perhaps our SPIRIT CONSCIOUSNESS SYSTEM- our spirit, even now, and in the

past, and in the future, there in that dimension is our keys truly spiritual keys in our left

pocket in that universe, in that parallel reality, of our spirit, and perhaps we don’t even have

bodies there, but pseudo-bodies.

I think that also we do not forget, but that if we continually forget something, such as sitting

at the kitchen table when we are eating, and if this happens repeatedly, then we are not

forgetting to sit at the table necessarily, say for an Alzheimer’s patient, who thinks perhaps in

their universe, that one does not sit at the table to eat, and say this happens continuously,

that is standing and eating. Then that person has progressed to the point of not necessarily

forgetting, but also in fact remembering to stand at the kitchen table and eat. This merely has

to be re-learned, but also this may or may not have to be continous teaching for them, since

their minds are going to often to that parallel reality, the real reality and the so-called

reality of Alzheimer’s, of Dementia, of forgetting. So sometimes we do not really forget, that

is when we do the same thing, forgetting the same thing continuously, but we are remembering

something else, a different way of doing something, that though is probably wrong.

Wahhabism is a religious movement[ within Sunni Islam.

Wahhabism in the United States. A study conducted by the NGO Freedom House found Wahhabi publications in mosques in the United States. These publications included statements that Muslims should not only “always oppose” infidels “in every way”, but “hate them for their religion ... for Allah’s sake”, that democracy “is responsible for all the horrible wars of the 20th century”, and that Shia and certain other non-Wahhabi Muslims were infidels

Over the years, Wahabism has also grown into a militant organization in the east. Wahabists trained in Sri Lanka are sent to UK and Australia in the guise of students.

Interestingly, until Osama bin Laden began using Wahabist-like rhetoric in pursuit of a renewed Islamic caliphate, there was little or no association between this particularly Saudi religious strain and any pan-Arab or pan-Muslim movement

Šlesers and God

2010-08-21T17:46:26-08:00

Recently Šlesers has become very pious. He has gone so far as to advocate the use of the Bible in schools. For a skeptic like me, it appears to be an attempt to entice preachers and priests to campaign for him in the coming election.

God and Ben Stein

2010-08-21T17:41:26-08:00

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against. That’s what they are, Christmas trees.

It doesn’t bother me a bit when people say, ‘Merry Christmas’ to me. I don’t think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn’t bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crèche, it’s just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can’t find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren’t allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that’s a sign that I’m getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it’s not funny, it’s intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham’s daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her ‘How could God let something like this happen?’ (regarding Hurricane Katrina ). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, ‘I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we’ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?’

In light of recent events… Terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O’Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn’t want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock’s son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he’s talking about. And we said okay.

Now we’re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with ‘WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.’

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send ‘jokes’ through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you’re not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not, then just discard it….. No one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don’t sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

Faith and health

2010-05-19T17:28:02-08:00

Statistical research has shown that church members are healthier and live longer than nonmembers. Is it because religious faith improves mental and physical health, or is it because mentally and physically healthy people feel an attraction for church membership?

The devil and monuments.

What would be wrong with the devil putting flowers at the Freedom Monument?
