At times, the five senses have certainly seemingly impeded our spiritual awakening.
We rely on our sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell to dictate our lives on a daily basis. Why?

Often the focus is centered around, “Does this look good on me? Oh, do I smell good? That does not taste that good…” have we built a world based upon the perceptions of our five senses? Perhaps…

People that are blind, deaf, without limbs…have this label of ‘DISabled’ on a physical level however on a spiritual level are quite ‘ENabled’.  ENlightened happens to begin with ‘EN’ as well which means ‘IN’. quite interesting….perhaps the enabling leads to the enlightening of what IS (into) YOU without passing through senses (no filters, no words or translations).

Hearing sounds we have not heard, seeing colors we have not seen, touching what we have not touched, experiencing flavors and scents that we have not experienced….Eyes have not seen...ears have not heard....that may even be in the bible. ;-)

When the frequency is different, the experience is different

Is it possible that disabled is actually enabled?

Perhaps we ARE infinity and BEyond.....
Perhaps LIFE IS BEyond words...
You are the color of LOVE!
You ARE a double rainbow!
LOVE you ALL

The story of Nick Vujcic, pictured above, is truly inspirational.  Chrissy and I were fortunate enough to see him speak a few years ago. WOW! :-)

The pineal gland is a topic that seems to be gaining traction in today's society.  It seems that this truth has been held as a secret throughout time.  I was quite surprised to see how many civilizations and public figures in the past have blatantly displayed this amazing gland in plain view for the world to see.  SO, I am wondering how is it that as a society we seem to know so little about the awakening powers of the pineal gland. 

The pineal gland is not technically a part of the brain as it is not protected by the blood-brain barrier.  It is located in the center of the brain's mass and receives more blood flow than any other part of the body except the kidneys.  Without the protection of the blood-brain barrier, it is subjected to toxins and mineral deposits over time.  The main mineral that calcifies the pineal gland is fluoride.   

The pineal gland is responsible for regulating serotonin, melatonin and melanin.  When it becomes calcified through fluoride and other toxins, every system throughout the body is impacted.  There are many ways to decalcify and keep the pineal gland functioning optimally.  If you would like to know more details, send a request through this link.

Hitler used fluoride in the water and diet of the Jews to dumb them down so that the Jews could be easily controlled and manipulated.  The Russians also used the same strategy in their concentration camps.  Ironically, or not, the US gov't took over Hitler's research in the late 40's-early 50's and in 1956 started pumping massive quantities of fluoride into the public water supply of American citizens.  In 1972 it was added to toothpaste.  Today in 2014, if you look at the fine print on the toothpaste labels, it will warn that this product contains poison.  Showering in fluoridated water can be just as damaging as the skin is the largest organ in the body and it absorbs what touches it.  A reverse osmosis filtration system will effectively remove fluoride from tap water.  Also to note, fluoride can be in bottled water too, as it is not regulated to disclose on the labeling. 

Many ancient civilizations have thought the pineal gland to be where telepathic thought transmissions and visual images are received.  This tiny pinecone-shaped gland is about the size of a pea.  The word "pineal" comes from the Latin pinea, which means "pinecone".  The fascination with the pinecone is consistent throughout history in the highest forms of spiritual artwork.  Descartes (named it the seat of the soul), Pythagorus, Plato, Iamblichus and many others wrote of this gland with great reverence.  The Catholic church (see the Pope's staff below), Greek gods, Mexican gods, Egyptian gods, Assyrian/Babylonian gods, Roman gods, Hindu gods, the Buddha's hair, King Tut's burial and many more all depict the shape of the pinecone on their staffs, statues, sculptures, sacred stones, etc. 

The largest pinecone sculpture in the world is prominently featured in Vatican square-in the Court of the Pinecone (pictured below).

The Roman god of drunkenness and revelry, Bacchus, carries a pinecone staff.

Also depicted on the American dollar bill.
Annuit Coeptis means "announcing conception".  The pineal gland is responsible for producing melanin in the body.  Melanin is present at the conception of LIFE.  It is present in the seed of plants and is the chlorophyll that gives the plant and fruit it's pigment.  It is also present as a coating on the egg and sperm of humans.  Huge significance here. 

Plato says in The Republic (Book VII), "the soul through these disciplines has an organ purified and enlightened, an organ better worth saving than ten thousand corporeal eyes, since truth becomes visible through this alone."

It is claimed that the biggest secret of Freemasonry is the regeneration of the human being into a Divine state through the awakening of the pineal gland.  Each of the thirty-three degrees of Masonry correspond to one of the vertebrae in the human spine as the kundalini fire rises up to merge with the pineal gland.

Déjà vu

Ever feel like you have met someone before that you are just meeting for the first time?

Ever looked into someone's eyes seemingly for the first time and known you have looked into those eyes before?

Ever hugged someone or touched someone's skin and felt like you are hugging yourself or touching you own skin?

Wow! I AM in tears typing this....

Anyone feel me out there?

We are so freakin' connected
Beyond anything earthly....

LOVE you ALL

There are some key words that have been widely mistaught in church  over the centuries.  Today, we will look at the words lost, perish, and destroy.

The concept 'destruction', 'destroy', or 'perish' are key terms in  the Bible used to support the teaching of either annihilation or the concept of eternal conscious torment.  The terms  'destruction', 'destroy', or 'perish' lead to many differences of opinion.  Most of the conclusions  are not Scripturally based.

How do we come up with the actual definition of  a word
in the Bible?  Well, many theologians say that the first occurrence of a word in the Scriptures reveals its meaning.  But it is certainly a "reach" to suggest that the first occurrence of a word gives its primary meaning, since it is not known exactly when the Gospels were written.  Matthew is thought to have been written around A.D. 50; Mark, the date is not known; Luke was thought to have been written in A.D. 59 to 63, and the Gospel of John, for a long time was assumed to  have been written in the A.D. 70's, but it probably was written closer to the  A.D. 50's. Paul wrote Romans around A.D. 57, and yet all of these dates are estimations. So just looking at the "first instance" of a word in the Bible does not mean that was the first instance it was used chronologically.  Therefore, the "first" occurrence of the word is not necessarily its "primary" meaning.

The only sound system of determining the "primary" or essential meaning of any word is to gather all of its 
occurrences in the Bible, and to make certain that its meaning never contradicts  any of the contexts in which it is used.

As we study the word 'apollumi' in the Greek Scriptures, it is often  translated 'destroy', 'perish' or 'lost' describing the wicked.  Does this word apollumi really mean 'to deprive of life' for eternity (without end)?  Let's allow the  Bible to interpret itself and give us the true meaning of 'apollumi'. 

The same word, apollumi (#622 below), is also often translated as 'perish'. In Romans 2:12, "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish (apollumi) without law:"

In Peter 2:12, "and shall utterly perish  (apollumi) in their own corruption."

Matthew 18:14, "So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish (apollumi)."

 And in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, "Even him whose coming is after the working of  (the carnal mind) with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish (apollumi): because they received not the love of the truth, that they might  be saved." 

The same word, apollumi is also often translated, 'destroy' and is assumed to mean 'to deprive of life' as in John   10:9-10 where Jesus is speaking,

"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy (apollumi); I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

Please note that there are three words used to describe
what  the thief comes to do: 1) steal, 2) kill, 3) destroy. The word translated 'kill'  is the Greek word 'thuo'  which means to slay or slaughter, as in slaughtering sacrifices.

Obviously the word 'kill' (thuo) CANNOT mean the 
same as the word 'destroy' (apollumi) for two reasons:
 
1) each word is a different word in the Greek

2) it would be redundant if the word 'destroy' meant  to kill, because if it did, the passage would read, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and kill."

Matthew 2:13 states "And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord  appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his  mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I
bring thee word: for  Herod will seek the young child to destroy him." Many have  assumed that the word 
'destroy' (apollumi in Greek) in Matthew 2:13 must  mean 'to deprive of life,' but that definition has no support Biblically.

There are Greek words that mean 'to deprive of life.'  They are:
 
1) apokteinco, which means "to kill;"
2) sphazoo, slay; 
3) anaireoco, assassinate or massacre; or
4) phoneuco, which means murder.

Romans 6:6 describes this process. "Knowing this, that our old man was crucified  with Him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer  be in bondage to sin."

The statement that the "Son of Man came to seek and to save that which is lost (destroyed)"  (Luke 19:10) is the key to the meaning of apollumi. This Bible  passage refers specifically to Zacchaeus, who was lost (destroyed). Because  he was lost (destroyed), he was ready to be found and saved.

The Greek word apollumi  is often given an interpretation  that means death from which there is no
resurrection, or annihilation, a state  from which salvation is impossible.  This passage in Luke 19:10 destroys this  premise.  Instead of the lost being
beyond salvation, they alone are  eligible for salvation! It is impossible to rescue a man who is already  safe. It is only when he is in a "lost" condition denoted by the word apollumi that salvation can operate in his behalf.

The  terms seek and save mean the opposite of destroy. So the  one who is 'destroyed', is really just lost, not annihilated or , or no one  would seek after him in order to save him.  He must be in a state which needs salvation or Christ would not have come to seek and to save him. This passage proves beyond a doubt that 'destruction' is  a salvageable condition, not a  state beyond the reach of salvation.  In addition, please notice that only the "lost" are saved.  This fact  reverses the usual idea of destruction. God seeks what He has  lost! 

Destruction is a relative  term. The coin was lost (apollumi) in relation to the woman.  The sheep was lost  (apollumi) in relation to the shepherd. The prodigal son was lost (apollumi) in  relation to his father.  They were not dead, but they were  away from the woman,  the shepherd, and the father, respectively. Does this prove that they were  outside the sphere of salvation?  No, it actually proves the opposite.
 
Destruction is the prelude to salvation!  Destruction
never  means annihilation or eternal conscious torment, irrespective of how closely it may seem to
approach that  idea in some cases.

Communion is formed from the Greek word koinonia meaning fellowship and koinonos meaning a sharer or partaker; derived from koinos meaning common and sun meaning together; the body of Christ coming
together to partake in the symbolism of Jesus' body and blood which He gave up for us on the cross. 

Communion takes place for the purpose of remembering what Jesus accomplished for us through His death and resurrection.   Communion is a fellowship of God's love. ♥
