  1. Star of Bethlehem and solstice

    Well thats interesting and I wouldnt refute that....and have similar story from a meeting my mom and dad had with a spectacular priest they did counseling with....then eventually the priest came and was the priest at their church. they had met him in another town back in the 70's. After the counseling session they had discussed the phenomenon of what appeared to be a halo around his head... yes many of them have painted halo and some have a flame above halo on the icons or icon murals like I said...now other four murals are up its pretty outstanding. lots to learn. anyway thanks for responding. taking care of some domestic duties. good day
  2. Star of Bethlehem and solstice

    dont know. What priest had to talk sounded interesting but I got off into wondering. I love the painted icon murals. They are specific and detailed. And it does tell a story. they added four new big sections on the ceiling and it is beyond stunning. I will have to read more about st nicholas. but I can add this of how I perceive the world as how we see commercial christmas and how if you asked anyone most people wouldnt know st nicholas and really the real essence of Christmas. jesus birth
  3. Star of Bethlehem and solstice

    Are you talking Greek Orthodox? st Nicolas
  4. Star of Bethlehem and solstice

    I find it a story of awe and wonder. I am sure some science/astronomy could have more facts. I find it kind of magical. People know santa Claus is not real but there really was historical figure Saint Nicolas. Just learned a bit on that a few Sundays ago. Unfortunately I cant reiterate. I was busy looking at the new murals on the ceiling. I believe it is real and still alive every man(a)ger needs a stable....funny billboard on Marquee at church up the hill.

    wide awake and bright a good night sleep and fresh air brings us to the now!
  6. I highly recommend Acupuncture as a modality to help treat anxiety. I was contemplating as well observing last evening while having dinner with a four other friends last evening... after dinner everyone began picking up their iphones and tend to them which I thought not only was RUDE but really showing me and affirming to me how obsessed people are and addicted to technology. THis is also true with this forum. Although I am not being critical of others regarding this forum I find it most restful to leave the forum for long periods of time to just get a break from it all. Nature is truly healing and inspiring. But of course everyone here already has perfect balance and equinimity. Yeah....right I was once offered some advice on panic attacks because as a IBD sufferer I often would be tuning into my stomach listening to any activity especially in public. Many times I would go through unbelievable waves of anxiety. "standing in the middle of it" and letting it have you. not always easy but it was helpful to me. thanks Hope you get relief soon.
  7. Star of Bethlehem and solstice

    oh I dont think its the second coming. Well known story from Gospel of Matthew, three Magi or wise men, followed the Star of Bethlehem to Jerusalem some 2,000years ago. After consulting with King Herrod of Judea, the men found newborn baby Jesus in the little town of Bethlehem. Scholars have pondered not just from a religious or historical perspective but from scientific one too. enchanting
  8. Which books sit on your nightstand?

    An Exposition on the Eight Extraordinary vessels/Charles Chase Miki Shima Acupunture alchemy and herbal medicine- found this at my acupuncture appointment and will order a copy today. Coincidentally as I am contemplating and trying to locate the Bethlehem star in our sky last night and reading story of King Harrod and Magi.... the protocol for todays treatment was a five pointed star. using the yintang as the center and then ankle wrist placements there would be quite alot of information in this book and I like following along with learning about meridians.

V as in virus I as in infection c as in covid t as in test o as in oxygen r as in respiratory ................................ and my last name.......... V as in vaccine a as in antibody s as in social distancing q as in quarantine u as in unusual e as in emergency room s as in santizer then you hear dial tone...................... the caller says---oh I guess he hung up! :-) ................................
  10. A prayer of thanks

    I would like to extend a thank you as well to the Dao bums. It does not get overlooked that there is time and effort involved with manage, care, and moderation of website. It is necessary along the way to challenge myself and my beliefs and learn a bit as I can. I am not really sure what a Dao Bum is but so far I can say I sure enjoy the notion of being a BUM. :-) Did anyone get to see the Bethlehem star last evening?

  17. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    i like all the cartoons thanks. feeling combo of remorse and sadness. this is only for you to consider.=: or I will go at it alone which is ok. BRI-gung!!!!pho-ba-chen-mo (:-) hint: u stands for ugly! last o if offer....so you can suss heart it out based on some original landline calls--I can see myself now in the bedroom of the ground level basement at my aunt/uncles house oceanside. crystal clear got lots of fun tidbits for mommy and daddy repression therapy-again small doses of amusement in a world laden with terror and yucky stuff of mind I have read a few things today. I hae a really few strange habits with reading-cant get into that now. but I would like to pull a rabbit out of my ass hat... teacher/Teacher my eyes are on you. I have written a few things today as well as listened to what I call a very unnerving podcast. I wont use name in public forum but you will know WHO when I say it was host of get together in Wa. he and his wife. omg uggghh- some things like walking natural Earth really appeal to me. I cant stand spiritual matter. My mind is frantically piecing together many scary ideas and I really have to separate myself from practice other than prayer, confession and sacrament of communion at church. water intake fasting-oh I loved it immediate the whole empty feeling and then appreciation of small bits nutritious food. I may present a few photos but thats always major issue for me- over the frustrated part of that. I work hard with Jesus Christ at appropriate times.steaming christian music is balm- God make me an instrument of intelligence so I can get a few nature photos up for "evidence" of my journey beyond your perceived darkness of me. I have a few photos as well from internet on my phone: One is of a daylight shinning through pelican throat bag(whatever you call it) and its so clear you can see not only the veins but see the fish it scooped up. then second photo of this poor mouse squeezed between pieces of furniture but spread out appendages. like how a rock climber would scale a chimney passageway. the poor mouse looks worried. ok complete NO on whitchie poo stuff and I mean it. no wiccan just reading that word was momentary kryptonite recoil. good for you-not me though a few slugs, bugs, garden, hikes, good mental choices, a few mystical things as I can conjure on my own very nicely. no pagan no oracle- all of this I cant deal with- please. must be not on any rides...no no
  18. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    I like my decoded secret red message. thats all I needed and it lifted me emotionally. thank you. I dont know how its a thing that makes a laugh though. I didnt laugh. How do we know by a shoddy photo what is the STORY of this BEAR? maybe its missing a back leg from an injury. OR maybe its experiencing alot of pain now in its hip muscles and cannot function on its own and is a photo from an animal sanctuary? I have been to animal sanctuary in Big Bear California. Wounded animals cannot fend for themselves and rely on human intervention. Is the funny part more political against Russians?
  19. Spiritual hubris

    not sure
  20. No gods, then no humans

    I do not think so from my experience(s) In order to experience something it happens in my body-but things did not originate from my said person. So we can pick up other things energetically lingering. I think this is all a set up what gets tossed out into discussion board. This is a real FALSE STATEMENT-IMO then I guess the caveat of external phenomena is up for discussion or not
  21. What are emotions

    I am not open for discussion on denomination nor spiritual approach. Dont see how that is relevant to the Opening post of emotions
  22. What are emotions

    You enjoy harassing people? This feels like that. Its not going to move me. I dont know if you attend church. I just doubt you do. If you do thats that and if you dont thats that.
  23. What are emotions

    Not to be rude but I have returned to answer someones question regarding what God I study. I dont have a need to compute sankharas at this time. I believe that good things will come from attending church and meditating on the Word. I can do ALL THINGS through CHrist which strengthens me. Phillipians
