"If a man begins with certainties,
he shall end in doubt;
but if he will be content to begin
with doubts, he shall end in certainties." - Sir Frances Bacon
The Lord's Prayer
Matthew 6-5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them,
Judging Others
Matthew 7-1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Law Of Prophets / Golden Rule
Ask, Seek, Knock
Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Treat others the way you want treated, not how they treat you;
there are no ifs, ands, or buts about that.
Eye for Eye
Matthew 5:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
BUT WHY? you ask
Because we are all one. What you do to someone else, you do also to God and yourself.
What if someone did it to me? you say.
Did you like it when it was done to you? If not do not pass it on.
Pass only what you enjoyed, being loved, cherished, & encouraged.
Love for Enemies
Matthew 5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Judging Others
Matthew 7-1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Loving someone does not mean they get a free ticket into the wallet of the people, because you can't buy love.
Love for Enemies
Luke 6:27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Judging Others
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
True and False Prophets
Matthew 7:15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
Matthew 10:26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.
God's Will Be Done
Lay the Healing Rod of Asclepius over the body's energy centers (chakras) and you will see the message.
Jesus the Way to the Father
John 14:5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for,
behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
John, 14:12 Even the least among you can do all that I have done, and greater things.
John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:10 "Father is living in me." "In me"
John 14:11 "In me."
John 14:12 Even the least among you can do all that I have done, and greater things.
Luke 17:20 the kingdom of God is within you.
The charkras / kundalini are "the light & the way" to the "Kingdom of Heaven" that is within you. You do not need an out side other to "save" you, you have your very own path to Father God.
What is a sin?
A sin is any act no matter how it looks to the world, that is done without love.
Your intentions, which may be secret to the world, are everything, and they will be made known!
Remember
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
What are you "paying" attention to?
What experiences are you "buying' into?
Your reality is a mirror of your thoughts, choose well what you entertain & put out. Never forget you have the power to change your life at any given moment by simply changing your thoughts.
Change your thoughts and change your life.
It is really that simple.
What is God's will?
For you to feel good, to feel God.
To judge another is a sin, an act without love, that says, "I'm better than you", this is competition not cooperation.
In the books of the Bible where Jesus spoke; Matthew, Mark, Luke & John there are 47 parables (the one in John is not listed here).
A parable is a story, a fable meant to get a point across.
But they were not always understood. So those who listened to he stories would ask Jesus, "What do you mean?"
Jesus always answered, "What do you think?"
A good teacher will never tell you what to think but show you the way and let you draw your own conclusions based upon the evidence you have to work with. As the evidence is drawn from things you have learn as you progress though life your life and as this changes so too should what you think.
To hold a thought as "this is so" even when you have evidence to the contrary to prove differently is to create a graven image which is held onto so tightly as to set the thought "in stone".
"Thy shall make no graven image" means when we have evidence proving something is wrong, we need to grow and change our thinking.
Example; for a baby, the method of transportation is someone must carry it. As the baby grows it learns to crawl, and eventually the baby will earn to walk and run. As the child continues to grow the method of transportation becomes the bike or a buss and later a car or truck. See how the child's thinking changes? That should not stop for any subject, you should always be growing.
"Hard math" starts with learning to count, then adding the reverse subtraction, skip counting; multiplication and it's reverse division. Later algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus ...
The same should be truth with your thoughts about politics, medicine, and everything else including your thoughts about God. At first you need "carried" later you need to progress to walking on your own two feet.
So .. how is what you are currently doing working for you? If it is not working for you, you need to change the way you think and create a new model.
"If a man begins with certainties,
he shall end in doubt;
but if he will be content to begin with doubts,
he shall end in certainties."

When one "knows too much" graven images get in the way of miracles happening.
When you don't know what is possible & impossible any thing can happen.
Be open to possibles.
I keep running into this interesting "effect", I will hear that someone is ill and in need of help. I am sure I can help, all I needs is an audience with them. Please ask them if they would like my assistance. Invariable I get;
Then comes the really cutting remark,
"And certainly not peons like you!"
If you don't have money like (him/her) you have no worth or value to them and you are denied audience.
I scratch my head and I wonder ....
Who is rich? and who is poor?
This story is falsely attributed to Seven Jobs, but no matter who it comes from it is a good story none the less so I share it here with you.
I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success.
However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.
At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.
In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer…
Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth…
Should be something that is more important:
Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days
Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.
God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.
The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me. What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.
Nor can money buy health & happiness, both of these things (as well as the list to the left) all from from with in, not from without.
If you want health or happiness you have to be mindful of what you put out into the world.
What you are paying attention to?
To change your health /life you must change your thoughts, it is that simple.
Welcome to the world of Satan!
Now satan is not a being like most folks think. Satan is a word that means "wrong thinking" and I can prove that.
Just pay attention to the Bible verses below.
Jesus is going to build his church on "the rock" that is PETER (not Paul), he says, "I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven and the gates of Hates will not overpower it."
Here still talking to Peter, Jesus says, ""Get behind me Satan you offend me!"
Notice Jesus says, "Your thoughts are on those of men, not of God. "
In other words, you are letting your feelings and your attachments to me get in the way of God's plan & will.
The truth is that the important thing about Jesus was his life and teaching, not his death. What did he teach you? That we should love each other, that judgment of another ie "peon" is "wrong thinking" and we should not do it.
The Bible says, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to get into Heaven" (Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, Luke 18:25). This does not mean that God does not want us to be prosperous in our finances. He just does not want us to place money before Him and His works.
for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.” Matthew 6:24
Money is NOT the root of all evil, as many have said, it is the LOVE of money.
When he hoard money, unwilling to share it, or look down upon others judging them as "less than", we are not doing God's work, and what we have is our "reward".
Money is nothing more than a form of energy. Energy must flow. We are creators, what kind of energy are you creating? Is your life energy stagnant because you hoard your money & ideas thus stagnating your life / heath energy? Note the image below, your life may be full of wealth, like a river, but if it becomes stagnant it becomes ill.
Stagnant energy is dis-eased energy.
No One
Even with obstacles in the way, it is no match for someone who shares his / her weather & ideas without judgment. Nothing stands in the way for as fast as it runs off more moves in to take it's place.
ENERGY MUST FLOW!
Fill your cup, then share it with others.
So what kind of energy are you putting out into the world? One of ease or dis-ease, which ever one it is, will be what you get back from the Universe. Remember; we are all one.
How do you know what kind of energy you are putting out?
It is easy to know.
How do you feel?
