  • Harmonics of the Bible

    Harmonics of the Bible


    The harmonics of the Bible is a complex and fascinating topic that delves into the hidden meanings and connections between numbers, music, and spirituality. One number that plays a significant role in this discussion is the number 27. This number appears in various contexts within the Bible, as well as in music theory, and has been studied by scholars and mystics for centuries.


    In music theory, the number 27 is significant because of its connection to Pythagoras’ music theorem. Pythagoras, the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, is credited with discovering the mathematical ratios that govern musical harmony. He found that the interval between two notes that are an octave apart is a ratio of 2:1. When this ratio is multiplied by itself, the resulting ratio is 3:2. This is the ratio of the perfect fifth, which is considered to be the most consonant interval in music.

    When these ratios are multiplied by themselves again, the resulting ratio is 9:4, which is the ratio of the perfect fourth. This process can be continued, and the result is a series of ratios that form a musical scale. If you add up these ratios, the sum is 27. This suggests that the number 27 is connected to the fundamental principles of musical harmony, and is a symbol of the unity and balance that is at the heart of music.


    In the Bible, the number 27 also appears in a number of significant ways. For example, there are 27 books in the New Testament, which is a testament to the divinity of Jesus Christ. Additionally, there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and one of them, the letter “&”, is missing. This is significant because the letter “&” represents the concept of unity, and its absence suggests that humanity is not yet in a state of unity. When we add the letter “&” to the alphabet, the total number of letters becomes 27, which symbolizes the unity that will be achieved when humanity is in harmony with the divine.


    Another place where the number 27 appears in the Bible is in the book of Numbers. In the book of Numbers, the Israelites were commanded to take a census of all the males who were able to go to war. The total number of males who were counted was 603,550. If you add the digits of this number together, the sum is 27. This suggests that the Israelites were symbolically representing all of humanity in this census and the number 27 represents the unity and harmony that will be achieved when humanity is in harmony with the divine.

  • Hypnosis For Decision Making: How To Gain Clarity

    Hypnosis For Decision Making: How To Gain Clarity

    Decisions, decisions, decisions…
    Every day, you make dozens of them.
    And that’s despite the fact that you might not always know what the next step should be.


    It’s also likely that you go through periods of confusion and uncertainty when perhaps you feel stuck and unsure about how to move forward.


    But you’re not alone.
    Everybody feels like that at some point or another.
    The secret is not to beat yourself up about it.
    Instead, try to use your uncertainty as an opportunity to be curious, to be open, and to be determined to make the best decisions you possibly can.


    Why? Because every decision you make will influence the kind of life you lead.
    To paraphrase a popular Tony Robbins quote:
    “Your destiny is shaped in your moments of decision.”
    So how can you ensure that the decisions you make today will lead you to a better tomorrow?


    And how can you use the power of hypnosis to help make that happen?
    First, let’s take a look at some of the things that might have become roadblocks to sound decision-making.
    What’s Interrupting Your Decision-Making Power?


    If you’re struggling to make decisions, there must be a reason (or reasons). So before you can fix the problem, you need to know what’s causing it in the first place.
    There are a number of things that can sabotage your decision-making skills, such as:

  • Gospel reading Matthew 11: 2 – 11

    Gospel reading Matthew 11: 2 – 11

    In the Gospel for the previous Sunday (Matthew 3:1-12), we heard the stirring words of John the Baptist at the Jordan River concerning the one who is to come.
    The Messiah, he said, will baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire, and he will exercise judgment. In the fashion of a swashbuckler, his coming will be dramatic, to say the least.


    But Jesus does not really fit the mold. He comes on the scene as one who proclaims the kingdom of God, calls upon people to trust in God, heals the sick, and befriends tax collectors and persons labeled “sinners.” It is little wonder that John, now sitting in prison with time to think, questions whether Jesus is the one to come or not. Jesus fits neither John`s expectations nor those of Jewish messianism in general. John’s question in 11:3 is therefore totally understandable: “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?”


    The question of John and the response of Jesus in 11:2-6 are actually relayed by disciples of John the Baptist. (That John had disciples is attested not only here and in its parallel at Luke 7:18-23, but also in John 1:35; 3:25.) John is now not certain whether Jesus is the “coming one,” an expression which refers to the Messiah as the one to come (Matthew 21:9, Mark 11:9, Luke 19:38, John 12:13, Heb 10:37), based on Old Testament imagery (Psalm 118:26).

  • “No tree can grow to Heaven unless it’s roots reach down to Hell.”

    “No tree can grow to Heaven unless it’s roots reach down to Hell.”

    In the journey to become enlightened — the path to become the greatest version of human possible — you must see the evil within yourself.

    Think of the worst atrocities that humankind has committed — then realize and come to terms with the fact that you hold the potential within you to commit those same atrocities. It is not enough to merely acknowledge the potential — you must truly understand/comprehend the capacity for evil within you. You must meditate on these evils, and their accompanying motivations, consequences, and feelings…feelings of enjoying inflicting evil and suffering upon others. You must feel how gratifying it can be to be Adolf Hitler for example.


    Only then are you truly capable of embodying the greatest good. True goodness does not emerge from a happy ignorance of evil — these people fall apart when they encounter true evil that they do not have a theory for. This is how PTSD emerges. Goodness can only come from a true understanding of evil, and the choice to act in the good in the face of the suffering of life.

    This truth is written in our genetic code, and is likely why we all feel a sense of gratification when the evil villain redeems himself into the hero that saves the day.


    This idea of goodness being emergent from the understanding, and subsequent rejection of evil is reflected in the story of Christ (the central figure in Western culture) rejecting the temptation of Satan three times in the Judaean desert, where Christ plays the archetype of the perfect human: he who, through unjustly being nailed to a cross and tortured by the world of unenlightened man, willingly embraces his own suffering and carries it on his back along with the suffering and darkness of all men. If we envision life as a game, and “God” as the rules/enforcer of the rules of the game, then Christ is the “perfect player” of the game who makes the correct decision in every circumstance that he encounters — that which all can aspire to.

  • What is Cosmic Energy?

    What is Cosmic Energy?

    Cosmic energy is the life force that is existent everywhere. It is present in the cosmos, between the galaxies, the molecules and in the space. It is essential to maintain the order in life and expand our consciousness.

    Cosmic energy is received by being at peace with one’s own self and living in the present moment. Blissfulness is the basic characteristic of cosmic energy. It is a state of mind that combines peace, love and joy.


    Cosmic energy is the basis of all our actions, reactions to situations and functions in totality. Our body receives some amount of cosmic energy when we are asleep in total silence and with peace of mind. Cosmic energy is essential for the following reasons:


    • To maintain an orderly life
    • To lead a happy and healthy life
    • To obtain knowledge
    • To completely involve in all the situations in life
    • To expand our consciousness


    Influences from Beyond the Atmosphere
    Contemplation of the vastness of space, the stars and planets produces awe. The Earth is a spin-off of some ancient cosmic event, and humans therefore are composed of highly evolved star dust.

    In that sense, deep space has everything to do with human existence. The end of the planet, and human life, may result from some gigantic celestial collision. Beyond these titanic effects, does deep space have any continuing psychological influence in everyday life?

  • Sexual Transmutation, Sexual Sublimation, What Is Sexual Energy and How to Use It

    Sexual Transmutation, Sexual Sublimation, What Is Sexual Energy and How to Use It

    What is Sexual Energy Specifically?


    There are many different types of energy and sexual energy is one of them.


    Every living thing on the planet – including human beings, animals, plants, and micro-organisms – is here because of sex and sexual energy. It is the energy of life and the energy of creation.


    Sexual energy at its most basic level is the driving force behind the sexual act itself. It is linked to both innate biological programs as well as our desires.
    Your sexual energy is a life-giving energy which is sustaining and maintaining you all the time.

    A deeper look into sexual energy also reveals that it is not just some survival instinct to propagate the species, but is in fact our life force energy and life creation energy. It is the energy that brings forth and creates life first and foremost but it also sustains life.
    Sexual energy is life-giving energy which animates all living creatures. Throughout your life, on a physical level, your sexual energy sustains you and nourishes you. In other words, it gives you life at birth but it doesn’t end there. This energy accompanies you throughout your entire life, regenerating your cells constantly.

    https://amzn.to/3Q6sLuL


    Sexual energy is the energy of creation and creativity. All of us ultimately stem from sex. We are a creation of sex and it is our origin. Without sexual energy there would be no life because there would be no urge, motivation, or driving force to create life.
    Sexual energy is life and life is sexual energy. The two are inseparable.

  • Luke 23: 35 – 43

    Luke 23: 35 – 43

    Christ of God, the Chosen One!

    Christ of God.

    This is one of the special passages of the Holy Scriptures, riddled with mockery, scorn, ridicule, and suffering.


    Regardless of everything that Jesus went through, He wanted and was persistent in only one thing all that time, and that was to free us from sin, give us eternal life and prepare apartments in the Kingdom of His Father.


    Soldiers and many others mocked Jesus, so a sign appeared on the crisis above his head with the inscription ‘This is the king of the Jews’.


    In the following, we witness the conversation of 2 robbers who were crucified with Jesus, one on his right and the other on his left, when we go a little deeper into thinking, we can only guess what was going through the minds of these people at that moment of agony and torment at the crisis, but again we see that regardless of everything, the left-hand thief still insulted Jesus as if the condemnation was not enough for him to turn and repent, but that’s why we see that the right-hand thief subdues the first one and says:
    ‘Don’t you fear God too, who are under the same condemnation? But we in justice because we deserved it with our actions, and he – he didn’t do anything wicked.’

  • Twin Flame Meditation: A Guide Towards Healing

    Twin Flame Meditation: A Guide Towards Healing


    Before exploring the Twin Flame Meditation it is first important to take note of a key foundational topic, for our own insight and full understanding.


    There is so much talk nowadays about soulmates and twin flames, so what makes a twin flame connection so different from a soulmate connection? The answer is arguably down to personal experience and belief systems, as a twin flame is a “New Age” concept.


    However, as someone who is naturally on a spiritual path, and gone through a timeline of traditional teachings, energetic attunements, and qualifications; it is clear from my level of understanding that there is a major difference.


    Soulmates come into our lives from birth to our final day in this earth journey and they can present themselves in many different ways. It is, of course, not until our young or mid adult lives that we recognize the presence and importance of soulmates, but the fact that they do appear throughout the course of our lives portrays that there is a significant difference between a soulmate and a twin flame.

  • The destruction of the Temple was prophesied

    The destruction of the Temple was prophesied

    Gospel Reading – Sunday 13th Dec – Luke 21:5-19

    Early Christians often greeted each other with “maranatha” it is an Aramaic expression for the imminent return of Jesus Christ after his ascension to heaven, come Lord Jesus.

    They took those words seriously because they were aware that they were living in the last times.
    Let me clarify that the last times in which we live have lasted since the very astonishment of the Lord Jesus. The Lord warns us not to be deceived and to always be awake and ready for his second coming. .
    Jesus teaches us not to admire the walls of the temple, something that is transient, but to understand that God is a spirit that is always and everywhere. Which Jesus says that the temple of the Holy Spirit is transitory and perishable, only the spiritual soul remains and after this worldly death it passes into the spiritual dimension of eternity, and the mortal body will be resurrected on the last day.Because we are Christ’s witnesses, witnesses of his resurrection.

  • A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken


    18 For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest 19 and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them.

    20 For they could not endure the order that was given, If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”

    22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23 and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

    24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
    25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven.

    26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.

    28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.

  • Luke 17 – Duty, Thankfulness and forgiveness.

    Luke 17 – Duty, Thankfulness and forgiveness.

    LUKE 17 – DUTY, THANKFULNESS AND THE KINGDOM

    1 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.

    A. Forgiveness, faith and duty.

    1. (1-2) The danger of stumbling another.
      Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”

    a. Then He said to the disciples: Jesus, through the account of Lazarus and the rich man, has made it clear that eternity is for real, and no one from beyond will come back to warn us. It is all the more imperative how we live and show Jesus to others on this side of eternity, because right now counts forever.


    b. It is impossible: It is inevitable that people be offended, but woe to the person through whom those offenses come. It is important to understand what Jesus meant when He spoke of offenses.
    i. The ancient Greek word used here for offenses is skandalon, and it comes from the word for a bent-stick – the stick that springs the trap or sets the bait. It also was used for a stumbling block, something that people trip over.


    ii. In the Bible sometimes a skandalon is good – such as the way that people “trip” over Jesus, and are offended at the gospel (Romans 9:33, 1 Corinthians 1:23, Galatians 5:11).

  • The cleansing of 10 Lepers

    The cleansing of 10 Lepers

    B. The cleansing of ten lepers.

    1. (11-14) The healing of the lepers.
      Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

    a)As He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers: It was not unusual for these lepers to congregate with one another. They were outcasts from society at large, and had no company other than other lepers – so, they stood afar off.
    i. Who stood afar off: “They kept at a distance, because forbidden by law and custom to come near to those who were sound, for fear of infecting them. See Leviticus 13:46; Numbers 5:2; 2 Kings 15:5.” (Clarke)


    ii. Passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee: “The words dia meson are best translated ‘through the middle of,’ or ‘between,’ referring to Jesus’ travel along the border between Samaria and Galilee.” (Pate)

  • Luke 17

    Luke 17

    Luke 17 2. (3-4)

    If someone stumbles you, deal with it and forgive them. “Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

    And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” a. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him:

    When someone sins against you, you should not pretend that it never happened. You need to rebuke that brother in love. i. Love is the rule here; we obviously can’t walk around keeping a record of every little offense committed against us.

    One aspect of the fruit of the Spirit is longsuffering (Galatians 5:22), and we need to be able to suffer long with the slights and petty offences that come our way in daily living. Ephesians 4:2 says that we should love with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love.

    Don’t be too sensitive; bear with one another. ii. But in love, when we are sinned against in a significant way, we must follow Ephesians 4:15 as the pattern: we need to speak the truth in love. Love isn’t going to other people about it; love isn’t bottling it up inside of you.

  • Becoming Disciples of Jesus

    Becoming Disciples of Jesus

    Introduction…

    This first Module is aimed at building a strong foundation as followers of Jesus Christ. We can only help others to become disciples

    as far as we have been discipled ourselves.

    What we teach others must be in accordance with our own life. We have to be true disciples following Jesus wholeheartedly.  In that way we are being 

    transformed to His image, and in time we can join Paul in saying:

    “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.”(1st Cor 11v1)

    “As the Son was sent by the Father (131) so He too sent the Apostles, saying: “Go,

    therefore, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father

    and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things

    whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days even to

    Discipleship
    Priesthood
    The Priest
    Offering

    the consummation of the world” (132) The Church has received this solemn

    mandate of Christ to proclaim the saving truth from the apostles and must carry it out to the very ends of the earth.(133)

  • THIRD EYE AWAKENING PRACTICE

    Hi friends, I would like to share the experience about my practice for the Third eye awakening.


    I had no knowledge about the third vision, as I was not from a spiritual background. I was a devotee of Lord Ganesha and my Guru Shivanand Dadaji had promised me that one day I will be able to see him.

    Although this was unbelievable for me, but my father wanted me to try for this and I started as per my Guru’s guidance.

    It took about an year for me to awaken my Third eye, but it took 6 months for my younger sister and a month for my Mother. May be because they were powerful devotee of Guru Shivanand Dadaji. The duration depends from people to people.

  • Our Baptismal of fire.

    Proof that Christ will come with fire 🔥.

    1. Scientifically we know change is a constant, we can see this from the movement of the  planets and our weather system.

    So we know what ever state we are in, that this will change.

    2. We can also deduce that what ever happens outside of us, also happens within, this is the fundamental theory behind a lot of Scientific discoveries, electron theory is one example where we can not observe the behaviour of electrons but we deduce that they behave in the same manner as the phenomenon outside of us, our weather etc.

    3. We know there are elements.

    So if we can deduce all this scientifically, we know we are governed by a particular element internally presently and we know this will change.

  • Is the Biblical God nasty?

    Hello my atheist buddies. Y’all keep saying The Biblical God is nasty, unfriendly and downright wicked to have created an everlasting Hellish Lake of Fire to punish evil God-rejectors.
    You also claim that this Hellish Lake of Fire hasn’t been proven by science when it actually has been proven.

    Nice poisoning the well fallacious reasoning from you plus appeal to emotions plus denials do NOT equate to proving your moral case against Hell, sorry.

    • You’ve failed to show HOW The Biblical Hell is unscientific.
    • You’ve failed to show HOW Christ’s Vicarious Sacrifice for YOUR sins and that of humanity is unfriendly.
    • You’ve failed to show HOW God punishing pedophiles, rapists, mass murderers and God-rejectors is nasty.

    The Biblical God’s moral justification for The Biblical Hell stands quite tall. Escape it while you can. ❤️

  • Atheist can never believe in love.

    “The Paradox of Atheism: Can Atheists Truly Believe in Love?”
    Atheism, by definition, is the lack of belief in the existence of gods or deities. However, this rejection of the divine can lead to a philosophical conundrum: can atheists truly believe in love? This article explores the paradox of atheism and love, examining the arguments for and against the possibility of atheistic love.

    The Challenge of Defining Love
    Love is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been debated by philosophers, theologians, and scientists for centuries. From a biological perspective, love can be reduced to chemical reactions and evolutionary imperatives (Fisher, 2004). However, this reductionist approach neglects the profound emotional, social, and cultural significance of love.

    The Atheistic Perspective on Love
    Atheists often argue that love is a human construct, a product of evolution and cultural conditioning (Dawkins, 2006). From this perspective, love is a biological and psychological phenomenon that can be explained without recourse to divine or supernatural forces. However, this view raises questions about the nature of love and its relationship to human existence.

    The Paradox of Atheistic Love
    If love is merely a human construct, then can atheists truly believe in its objective existence? If love is reduced to chemical reactions and cultural conditioning, then does it not lose its profound significance and meaning? This paradox highlights the tension between the atheistic worldview and the human experience of love.

    The Argument from Objective Moral Values
    Philosopher William Lane Craig argues that objective moral values, including love, cannot exist without a divine foundation (Craig, 2008). According to Craig, if atheism is true, then morality and love are merely subjective preferences, lacking any objective basis or authority. This argument challenges atheists to provide a coherent account of love and morality within their worldview.

    Conclusion
    The paradox of atheism and love raises fundamental questions about the nature of human existence, morality, and the human experience. While atheists can certainly experience and express love, the question remains whether they can truly believe in its objective existence and significance. Ultimately, the relationship between atheism and love serves as a reminder of the complexities and nuances of human existence.
