"Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. " (Luke 22)

 

 

 

Hebrew Scriptures are esoteric and metaphysical. They deal with spiritual meanings

 

The robe represents your ego or "false self".

 

We are all born naked (truth) and then we pick up and put on attachments (the robe).

 

Do you study tarot? Their system is based on hebrew Kabbalah. One of the suits is the suit of Sword.

 

Swords represent clarity, truth, understanding and communication.

 

Jesus is saying acknowledge your true being and use your sword to express and defend that truth with clarity...

But what defines Wordly things?

 

We've spoken on these things many times. But I love a memory refresher

Quote

20) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the Kingdom of

Heaven is like."

He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed, the smallest of

all seeds. But when it falls on tilled soil, it produces a great

plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed. Meaning it is far from what you expect. It is plain and simple..

 

Once realized it becomes a great plant. This is the connection between HEAVEN and EARTH. 

 

Plants and trees are often seen as antennas that connect to the upper and lower worlds.

 

This plant reveals the connection you have with the kingdom of heaven in and outside of you.

 

The birds are our thoughts. Lost in the sky. Looking for refuge. They rest on the tree.

 

Your thoughts are at rest...

You can't obtain spiritual rewards with a worldly mindset

 

Those who "try" to get into the kingdom of heaven will fail.

 

This kinda reminds me of the thread I made on Acknowledgement...Trying to obtain spirit through the ego will result in the death of your ego.

 

Death is the only way to ascend. Not a physical death, but a spiritual one.

 

Your works and your deeds will always be null and void and the spiritual world will never be in your reach until you put your flesh to death.

 

The kingdom of heaven is open to those who sit still. They don't work. They don't labor. They don't seek security. They just simply acknowledge...

You can't have kindness without cruelty.

 

You can't have cruelty without kindness.

 

They both go hand In hand

 

An enlightened person (imo) doesn't seek to be anything.

 

What is considered good or bad Is a personal experience.

 

So I wouldn't call cruelty a form of enlightenment. But I wouldn't call kindness enlightenment either..

 

The only true path that leads to enlightenment is a path of awareness and acknowledgement (imo)

If so, how did you do it?

I would rather have no consciousness than a super one tbh...

I am very sure I woke up from my sleep unable to move, everything kinda hazy and something sitting on the end of my bed (the feeling of weight pressing the mattress).  

Next time you see a shadowy figure on the other side of your bed just ask for a blowjob..

 

You might just like it..

Don't confuse Hebrew scripture with Roman Catholic traditions and ideas such as the trinity and "Christmas"..(Not saying you can't celebrate if you don't want to). These things have plagued and manipulated the meaning of the scriptures for centuries.

 

You have to read these scriptures with open, and detached spiritual eyes.

 

Religion and fear has kept people from understanding that. Soon as they read "judgement" they cringe..

Yes. It's Mark...thanks AP

Matthew 22:34-41

Interesting, I was just involved in a lengthy discussion about non-dual and 'the one'.  So, are you stating, the 'I am' that you state in your initial post is essentially the same as 'the one' that is in everything else?  If so, I think that would be consistent with the views of Advaita.

Saying " I AM.." in itself awakens something singular and at the same time absolute. You don't need religion to see this. The phrase/name in itself reveals it. And the Hebrew Scriptures have verses that speak on the importance of his name and how the universe "declares" his name. Such as the book of Psalms

 

Your name defines your nature and character.

 

So when God told Moses his name "I AM", it right then and there signified him/her as everything that is Absolute...Eternal...Pure....True...Whole

 

 

Jesus in the book of Matthew said "God is One. Thou shalt love him with all of your being".

 

Earlier I spoke that love is acknowledging the true essence of something as it is. To love is to see God.

 

But even if you aren't loving or showing love, that love is still loving and is still alive in you. It just isn't being awakened at that moment.

Thought this was chicken for a sec

 

Sorry just trolling...but it's interesting. I wonder if they actually masturbated to this..

Nothing exists independently. We have free will. But all of it comes from the same source

 

Jesus spoke on this in this book of John.

 

The vine and the branch

 

Everything is 100 percent from God and is God. No fragments..

Ive had it a few times in my life. Haven't had it in almost 8 years though.

 

Havent seen any shadowy or demonic figures that people talk about. It just feels like I'm surrounded by a whirlwind or tornado. Kinda like the Wizard of Oz. Hard to explain.

 

I simply relax and let it go away on its own.

 

I think when you panic the shadowy figures appear because of your anxiety.

 

I heard this one guru say that if it happens you should think of the color green...

Never understood what universal consciousness was.

 

I basically believe everything is one, comes from one, and cannot exist without each other.

 

Acknowledging someone as they are is acknowledging "the one" that is in everything else. We all have unique qualities that make us different in capabilities etc..But when you acknowledge someone as they are you're not seeing their appearance, but the same spirit that connects them to you and everything else. Through that the ego or flesh can't get in the way..You don't see the individual, you see the God(I Am) that makes them connected to you and the "all"..

 

Thats why I said awareness makes everything known, while acknowledgment makes everything whole. You see it as apart of something wHoly

As the gospels say, there is sort of an earthly body that dies, and within there is a higher “heavenly body” (the one that lives). One who is whole, is one who has found and integrated the heavenly body. When the heavenly body is integrated, it becomes filled with light and radiates into the world.

 

1 Corinthians 15:42-49

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lordfrom heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bearthe image of the heavenly Man.

 

Read my thread on Acknowledgement and tell me what you think.

 

The earthly body is ego based while the heavenly body integrates the essence of all things? No separation, everything is one and whole?

 

Don't worry. I still like you..

In each case, I let my gals know of my interest clearly, but never with force or yang energy... not once have I prodded, pursued, or pushed, it is abhorrent and not in my nature.  I simply made my interest known and allowed them to form the path to our connection.

This!

 

This is why I've always believed it's the woman who does the work and pursues. I believe men pursuing women is something that has been conditioned into their minds in today's society. It just doesn't seem right to me.

 

Ive had many sexual encounters with women and it's the ones who I didn't pursue that always came to me. Like you said, "I simply made my interest known" and allowed them to open up. I know other guys who pursue and persist and it works for them. But for some reason it doesn't fit into my character make up.

 

I believe some men naturally don't have to try. So when they do try it becomes off putting..Too much yang energy. We're already yang so it's best we become yin in the company of a woman as she becomes more yang..

 

In fact, there's no "work" at all. It just happens.

 

Being that I'm done with just lustful encounters my interests are purely for love and family building. 

 

Do do you believe in polygamy?

Sounds like you just disagree with some of my viewpoints, or have a slightly different perspective. Which is fine. But I'm not changing anything I said, nor do I feel the need to.

What are you talking about?

 

When i start read then i should get an idea either my own imaginary delusion or not. But for now it seem more like encyclopedia type of write up where i get interrupted by new word definitions so i am forced to learn again and again it will piss me off since i can't generate answer and from there read it again so that your text would support that answer but i can't find it so it will make me angry.

 

So for now i have no response other than personal attacks.

 

Hahaha

I would differ. The best digestive aid is just to fast. 32 hours is probably the minimum as a restorative. If you're constipated and your intestines are full you're not going to gain much benefit from piling extra food and expensive supplements on top of all that. Just fast, it's free. 

32 hours to clear out the ENTIRE system?

 

Meaning I'll be entirely clean with just drinking water?

In my book I talk about acknowledgement and how it relates to every and any spiritual practice..

 

Acknowledgment is awareness taken to the next level. 

 

Awareness deals with cognizance. Acknowledgment is awareness with the added bonus of acceptance and application..

 

This is what I call the AAA of Heaven. Awareness, Acceptance, and Acknowledgement.

 

Hebrews call it the "Sabbath"..Jesus (not Christianity) calls it "Faith"...and I'm sure any other practice you may follow has its own name for it.

 

On an esoteric level acknowledgment is what connects us to God..those who follow my posts know that I refer to God as "I AM", as I hate the term "God", which to me is illusory.

 

Everything and nothing comes from the "true essence" of all things. That true essence is I AM. It is inside of us, and outside of us. 

 

I AM is the inside and outside. The alpha and omega. Beginning and end. Positive and negative. Yin and yang. Masculine and feminine. Light and dark..the list goes on. You can't have one without the other. 

 

It is simply Whole, or Holy...

 

Enlightement is the acknowledgment of that essence. Many of religious people seek to be "righteous" yet they are only reinforcing the wicked. Ego comes from perception. To eliminate perception is enlightenment..

 

Those who seek to be good are only reinforcing evil. Those who seek to be evil are only reinforcing the good. They both will be found guilty. They are both one and the same. It is simply a matter of perception (which comes from the ego). Now does that mean good and evil don't exist? No. They do. But perception is what makes you believe one is "better" than the other..

 

One can easily be aware of these things. But acknowledgment comes with a different force. 

 

While awareness makes things known, acknowledgment makes thing WHOLE.

 

When you live with acknowledgment, you are opening a portal in your heart chakra which gives and receives all things (both positive and negative). The Heart Chakra is the center of truth and understanding...

 

Love has been misunderstood. To love someone is to simply acknowledge them as they are. It's not about "trying" to love them. Trying to do something will only reinforce its opposite. To try to push, you are only reinforcing the "pull". 

 

Acknowledgement is the ultimate power. It is the power of nothing and all things at the same time. It is "faith"..it is truth...it is love or whatever the hell you wanna call it. I'm speaking from limited standpoints that I'm sure you guys can fill with an abundant of different perspectives.

 

Acknowlegement is where you find wisdom, and direction. You are no longer thinking, it is the truth that thinks for you and directs you without you even trying..

 

 

Thanks for the tips everyone

Now that Carcass Day is over I'm sure all of us have stuffed our wonderful faces..

 

Wanted us to share some experiences 

 

What foods, spices, and plants are good for clearing out the digestive system, healing constipation, and healing the 3rd chakra?

 

I notice spicy foods do something to me. It dissolves the crap in my bowels but it "burns" if you know what I mean..

 

 

When it comes to mating in the animal kingdom is it the male that chases the female, or the female that chases the male?

 

And do you believe that it is related to how we humans mate?

 

In my personal experience it's the female that picks, chooses and selects..

 

 

Happy Turkey Day by the way. At least that cooked bird in your oven was chosen by something...
