<span style="color: black;"><br />The Angel of Peace; whose kiss bestoweth calm, and whose face is as the surface of untroubled waters, wherein the moon is reflected. I will invoke Peace, whose breath is friendly; whose hand smooth's the troubled brow. In the reign of Peace, there is neither hunger nor thirst, neither cold wind nor hot wind, neither old age nor death. But to him that has not peace in his soul, there is no place to build within The Holy Temple; for how can the carpenter build in the midst of a whirlwind? The seed of violence can reap only a harvest of desolation and from the parched clay can grow no living thing. Seek ye then the Angel of Peace, who is as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, as the moon at the full, as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as the sun shining on the temple of the most High. Peace dwells in the heart of silence: Be still, and know that I am God.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><strong>Common Goals</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Few can deny that all life
on this planet, this solar system and beyond has evolved or came into being
from a common set of circumstances. W<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">e do not really know, cannot say with certainty how it all started. We do know - that </span>we
all attempt to express the symmetry and intelligence that guides the Laws of
Life through various creative endeavors; science, spirituality, religion, art, music, community, cooking, story telling and etc.. </span><span style="color: black;">Therefore we share
<span style="background-color: white;">common</span> goals.</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><strong>Common ancestors</strong></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Looking through the eyes of evolutionary molecular biology, geology, paleontology, anthropology</span><span style="color: black;">; it would appear that life has been here for a very long time. </span><span style="color: black;">Science believes the earth has been evolving for over 3 billion years and that she has seen many diverse times, creatures and ideas of life. Darwin it is said believed;<em> </em></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">That all of humanity belonged to one family tree </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">and there existed in the past animals </span><span style="color: black;">who are common ancestors of all humans now living. </span></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2JFRYGOeKVQ/VT7UsFewAtI/AAAAAAAAJ6M/kJQTE_LGfQM/s1600/CommonAncestor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2JFRYGOeKVQ/VT7UsFewAtI/AAAAAAAAJ6M/kJQTE_LGfQM/s1600/CommonAncestor.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">In the late Miocene period one of our ancestors crawled out of the primordial muck and drew in a breath. Early hominins first appear in the fossil record approximately 4 million years ago and eventually evolved into genus Homo sapiens. </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span></span> </span><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">Some of our ancestors include other hominid species such as Neanderthal, who <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">co-existed</i> with anatomically modern humans in a period some 500,000 to 350,000 years ago.</span></span></span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Creation theory believes that God
created the universe, the earth and all the creatures in it, in seven
days. This theory believes that creatures and man started out as distinct and
separate organisms when God created them - about 65,000 </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">years ago. Genesis says </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><em>Man came from the dust of the ground </em></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><em>and God </em></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><em>breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; </em></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><em>man became a living soul.</em></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Creationists believe that man was much like today; fully capable and prepared to create tools and settle the land, quickly becoming civilization builders. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">For example Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden and built a farm and had a large family. Their son Cain a first generation human was exiled for murder and he travels to the Land of Nod where he marries (?) and begets Enoch who begets ….. us.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> <strong>Common language</strong></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><span style="color: #660000;">HCNO</span></strong> = <span style="color: #660000;"><strong>YHVH</strong></span> = <span style="color: #660000;"><strong>CGAT </strong></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">DNA; the language of code and symbols, and its telling is dependent on its sequences. These are the creative building blocks of all life;
DNA interlocks and unites, creates and adapts into new life forms. DNA is the
link thru which we direct physical particles and create ourselves. Are evolution and creation so far apart?</span></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Chemistry calls life by its smallest elements<em>; </em> <span style="color: black;"><u>H</u>ydrogen, <u>C</u>arbon, <u>N</u>itrogen, <u>O</u>xygen or <strong><span style="color: #660000;">HCNO</span></strong> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">The ancient Hebrew language translates the elemental letters <span style="color: #660000;"><strong>HCNO</strong></span> into <span style="color: #660000;"><strong>YHVH</strong></span><span style="color: black;">, the Hebrew name for God.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The element composition of the DNA strand is <span style="color: black;"><u>H</u>ydrogen, <u>C</u>arbon, <u>N</u>itrogen, <u>O</u>xygen or </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>HCNO</strong></span> </span>and the DNA's corresponding code letters of <u>C</u>ytosine, <u>G</u>uanine, <u>A</u>denine, <u>T</u>hymine or <span style="background-color: white; color: #660000;"><strong>CGAT</strong></span> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="color: black;"> So our common language looks like this: </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>HCNO, elements</strong></span> = <span style="color: #660000;"><strong>YHVH, God</strong></span> = <span style="color: #660000;"><strong>CGAT, DNA</strong></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">The </span><em>elements</em> are <em>God</em> are <em>DNA</em> - a mix of science and Creationist theory. <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Gregg Braden calls this the God Code</span></span></span></span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> <strong>Common threads</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">We can see that we all
seek for truth but through different avenues. There are many more common threads
that are weaving this tapestry of our human journey. I want to look at
two of them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Our cultural story began
about 12,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, it is called the Agricultural
Revolution and we are currently living out the end of this particular human
experiment. Daniel Quinn </span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">is
the author of Ishmael and other important books. He tells our story from the
perspective of the ongoing struggle between the Takers and the Leavers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">The
Takers are defined by some very specific criteria: they lock up food and
exterminate competitors; both animal and human. Takers systematically destroy their
competitor’s food and finally they deny their competitors access to food.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Takers have appropriated all life on the planet and all resources therein as belonging to a
single species (human) to use and misuse.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Leavers should be self-explanatory – they
<em>leave</em> the planet as they found it – they never take more than they <em>need</em> –
they are only about .5% of the remaining population left on earth. I think it is important to understand and remember - that at some time in our past all the peoples on the planet lived as Leavers or what we call traditional, indigenous lifestyles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">All our ancestors were assimilated into the Taker culture or civilization thru colonization, appropriation of resources, slavery, war etc.. </span>Those that did not and do not join
the dominant culture voluntarily are treated as the animal competitors and either destroyed or relocated.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">But I want to go back
even further than Quinn to a time when we lived both as part of the earth
and part of the heavens. When we understood ourselves and the animal Kingdoms as nations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">A time when we walked with the animals, a time when we obeyed the Laws of Life. This is what all the stories tell us - and most religions and spiritual schools of thought have a creation, an Eden or a utopia.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">The bible
says: </span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><em>There were giants in the earth in those days</em></span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><em> </em>and according the Essene Gospel of Peace;<em> we lived in splendor and glory, with
health and vigor of body and had long and enduring lives.</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">How long ago this was we can only guess; it may be from before the time of the
last cataclysm that returned us to the caves and sunk Atlantis.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><strong>Common error</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Most religions of the world whether earth based or iconic have a story of the <em>fall of man</em>. Some act done by a <em>feminine</em> and this fall led to us to being ... the way we are.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">In one is Eve eating a fruit containing the seed of knowing good and evil; blessing and calamity. Another lifted a lid and out flew all the world’s troubles; vices, sins, diseases and woes. These beliefs led man to atone in flesh on this plane, in hopes of achieving a place in heaven or paradise in the next. A pretty set of bars. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">What is the actual fruit - what is the actual act - we should seek this answer in order to stop doing it. If all life is related and all Life are our ancestors then there is perhaps an obvious conclusion one could draw. I have made some conclusions based on life long research that suggest strongly to me ... </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">There was a day over 3 million years ago a when a human or band of humans, for whatever reason ate the flesh of an animal. It may have been after a wildfire, a hungry group came upon a burned creature – we will never know. But could this be the pivotal act - the seed a virus? That changed us into who we are today. Could this be the taint that stains the species called Man?</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"> Consider these words of Jesus:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">And it shall come to pass, in
that day that I will </span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><u>make again and renew a covenant with the beasts</u> of
the earth,</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> and the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea, and with all
created things.</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> For all shall know me, and I will break the bow and the arrow
of the hunter, </span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">and the sword of the slaughterer, </span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">and all the instruments of
bloodshed will I banish from the earth. </span></i></span></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">And I will surely make all of
them, my creatures, to lie down in safety and in peace, </span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">and to live without
fear or outcry; </span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">f</span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">or neither shall they hunger nor thirst anymore, </span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">but be fed
and cherished. </span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">For even as the sun does rise and set each new day, </span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">so shall it
be in the land blessed by God, wherein all dwell securely.</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><strong>Common future</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Perhaps if we understand that
it is not <em>human nature</em> to be the way we are, then we can look back to see the
map laid out for us. Then we will find the key to our future. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">This was the Jesus mission, he was a teacher of righteousness who strove to bring the Sons of Man back to
the time before. </span><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Let all who have ears, hear, </span></span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">and all that have eyes, behold, </span></span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">f</span></span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">or the
day draws near </span></span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">when such things shall surely come to pass....</span></span></i></div>

It appears to be a letter from the Apostle James to Martha, his wife in Magdala. Written AD 35, 17 months after Resurrection. In it James reveals to his wife that there are some issues with Mirium's authority as Head of the Elect, the Holy Twelve and the New Church of Christos.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I am writing to you
Martha, my devoted and patient wife from the community near Pieria. We are
staying with Brother Phillip and Sister Naomi while they prepare to depart for Greece,
Naomi and the children, young Justus and baby Libi are going to accompany
Phillip on the first leg of his ...[ministry?] She is a faithful woman and has
earned the respect of all .... [we] are comfortable and well
received. I am glad for a respite from the road; it has been a dusty journey
from Jerusalem. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We await the arrival of
Mirium and her entourage; they are expected... from Antioch. We will have
our meeting and then I will be coming home to you, sweet Martha and our brood.
How I miss you all. I am enclosing copies of our latest correspondence and Miriums' manuscript. These are for eyes of The Holy Twelve only. There they can be copied
again and sent out for safe keeping. Mathias is also enclosing some completed
works for storage in Nazareth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I am pleased to inform
you that we are making progress with our scribes. Before Mathias and I set out
we instructed them to continue translating and copying all the sacred texts. Whatever they could uncover of Enoch,
Adam, Moses, Isaiah; everything. Of course all the recent works of the Elect and the words and deeds of Yeshua and the witness of his
Apostles and converts. Scribes are traveling to each community and taking
inventory of all the books of knowledge and works of prophecy. These are then dictated
or recopied by a seeming endless army of these dedicated Hakamin! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It is Mathias, the most resourceful man, who deserves so much of the praise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His energetic work
is a joy to watch. I believe he derives satisfaction from every word. He has already
completed Enoch’s works into multiple copies of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, the languages of Africa, the Northern Tribes and ancient, lost languages
including Etruscan. He puts them on parchment, waxed wood and tablets and linen. He has a priestess from Germania, who has created inscriptions using ancient Celtic methods, such as carvings and
symbols which are then etched in stone, and amulets; he leaves hints everywhere. I believe he
has agents working for the Pharisees and with the priests of Rome, as scribes
they leave marks of Truth, he hides them in caves; water proof containers
which he casts into the sea, traveling troupes find them hidden in their carts
when they have traveled far. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Whenever we visit the city, he searches for
scribes newly arrived; seeking linguists of every language. He wants to ensure
Logos is hidden in plain sight. There for all the Sons of Man to see. I laugh now thinking
of him, bent over his desk, his shoulders hunched, a stilus in hand, fingers stained
with ink, black eyes sparkling under that thatch hair! He is a clever man and
devout man our Mathias. He sends his love to you. At the moment he is with Josephus recently returned from Armenian. They are planning to inventory the library in Cana. Mathias discovered a trove of healing books while we rested there, he says there are still many original text, handed down from Abraham. Some are intact. </span></div>

wish I need not speak of it for I know Martha, my beloved how you labor in our
community and work ceaselessly with the converts. You do not need another
burden and I know you will view it as such …<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">… [Cephas] has returned
from Qumran with ideas about the future of the church. It seems our Brothers
there question the role of Feminine authority and her ability to lead because
she is a woman. Many of Yeshua’s teachings are as new to them as to the Pharisees
and Caesars of Rome. .. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">…[Qu]mran has ever been
a male community. They have tilled the soil of Engadi in the desert oasis west of
the Dead Sea for millennium. Still they live like monks, organized into a
strict order who observe both written and oral Law with passionate exactitude, but
I fear, not enough joy… it is there that the Baptist as the Romans are calling
our lost Brother John, began his ministry and I believe there is some envy over
Yeshua’s successful resurrection. … <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Cephas, ever hot-headed
is being lead by his pride asking why Yeshua would want a woman to lead the
Church and not him! She led while Yeshua still walked among us, why should his
departure make a difference? Whether he is desirous of the leadership himself
or is simply reminding us of the difficulties we endure because of the
prevailing attitude toward women and their roles? I worry that he will unwittingly
allow for Mirium to be set aside. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I trust that the Apostles
and the Holy Twelve will remember how Yeshua respected and loved … <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">[witho]ut the balance
of the Feminine and Masculine; this is at the heart of the Law! Yeshua said,
‘God created mankind in the Divine image male and female, and all nature is in
the image of God’. In her last letter Mirium said the day will come when she
will have to stoop to cultural pressures that will make it difficult for her to
continue her ministry, political pressures and threats from assassins will
force her to flee from land to land, in disguise. Mirium has always known what
is to come. She is the head of prophecy. She recently warned me about the anti-Christos’ who will infiltrate our Communities. I confess only to you Martha, I wonder if
Cephas, our rock, is such a one. I pray this is not so.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
"The original language of most of this work was, in all likelihood, Aramaic (an
early Semitic language). Although the original version was lost in antiquity,
portions of a Greek translation were discovered in Egypt and quotations were
known from the Church Fathers. The discovery of the texts from Qumran Cave 4 has
finally provided parts of the Aramaic original. ...Humankind is called on to
observe how unchanging nature follows God's will."<br />

I had travelled with Yeshua and the other Brothers for many years serving as a scribe and was then <span style="display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> tasked with the archiving and preservation of the Truth and the Law as spoken by Yeshua and his sister in spirit Miriam. <span style="display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">I reveal myself at this time because it is the time for heroes to be reborn and awaken; for the end of the empire is at hand and the Reign of Peace is on the eastern horizon!</span><b><i><u><sub><sup><strike><br /></strike></sup></sub></u></i></b></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am returned at this time you call; the End of Days, to bear witness to the Fall or Rise of the Sons of Man. It is not too late - there is still time for voices to raise loud as it is difficult to hear in this hot place. <span style="display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">These times are filled with great noise, haste and confusion, no pastures, no still waters so the cities of the world clash like cymbals vibrating thru in my soul.<br /><br />Some days I wish for the peace and absolution one finds in earthly death, to return Home. But I am tasked with a great responsibility - to reveal the words so long ago hidden, to re-open the eyes and ears of my Brothers, the Children of Light</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I feel great sorrow and loneliness for I am far from the eyes and ears of my Brothers and Master. Those with who I labored in ministry and in secret to kept the Law through these millennia. Some clusters of people have uncovered our ancient documents and some Children already are drawn to them. Carefully we hid them far and wide, covering the globe - <span style="background-color: white;">t<span style="display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">he changing earth will uncover many, hidden for millennium. <span style="background-color: transparent;">A</span></span></span>ncient secret teachings - to be seen and heard by the Children of Light, those who seek the Mystery, those who must raise their voices and pens in these … perhaps the last days.

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">After the fall of the Temple and the slaughter of my Essene Brotherhood, many thousands died along side the Pharisees and Sadducees so Rome in league with the Deceiver could continue to hide the truth - to stop the Law. I was instructed to flee - with my scrolls, my scripture, my minutes, my copies of sermons. The secret texts, the Mystery School. I was escorted along with Miriam, Martha, my dear wife and many others - perhaps 200 in all. donkeys packs loaded with the household goods, tools of my trade, Urns of scrolls were dropped off along the way. Hidden from prying<span style="display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> eyes and allowed to sit thru some sands of time. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">We headed toward what is now France, we travelled and became as nomads, fleeing the wrath of Rome. But we never struggled or felt hunger - The Lord is my Shepard and we did not want, nor did we need. <span style="display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">We stopped at the few hidden Essene communities that remained we could find along the way - grateful to sit again in communion. </span>But now... now I sit under electric light tapping keys on a board, instead of etching words on a wax tablet or scroll to the flickering light of a candle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I look to the sun whose face is now hidden from my eyes and whose fire cannot reach the kernels of corn or warm the once mighty Oak. Men of power, the owners of food continue to do evil and have contempt for their victims. Theirs is a righteous belief in superiority over those whom they have enslaved. This contempt, like their contempt for a herd of buffalo allows them to believe it is time to cull the herd of man, for the good of man. They will tell you it is your patriotic duty, but do not allow yourself to be fooled by this falsity. For what is war, if not a culling, an opportunity to obtain more slaves, war is for the glory of the hunt and the slaughter is for pleasure and gain.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I feel our Mothers losses as I witness the dance of death and the struggle for survival taking place in the natural world; and this dance takes place inside of me. The men of this modern world remain blind to their slavery as were many of the slaves of Egypt and Rome. This new breed of slave performs under the illusion of freedom which works more effectively than did the chains and whips. They are as robots; who day after day labor for the owners of food, they labor for script printed by the owners of food and purchase the fruits of their labor and the products of their sweat from the owners of the food. This was part of the story told to the many thousands of converts at the time of Moses and again at the time of my Master, Yeshua the Nazarene.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"></span><span style="color: black;"></span><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Since Moses led his people out of Egypt, since the American emancipation the collection of slaves has not abated, our collective illusion of freedom is false. Our governments war for the same reason Caesar or Alexandra or Atilla the Hun or the kings and queen's of the middle ages did. To create a civilization where they are the sole controllers of the resources and to have more mouths to labor for script to by food to enrich the owners of the food. Slaves depend on earthly masters, that is their trap - free men depend on Heavenly ones and that is the door.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am filled with a sense of urgency, not to hide, but to reveal! The words I hid so long ago from the eyes of the anti-Christs; Saul of Tarsus and his new Roman church. It is time to reveal the truth of the Law of Being. If Life is our desire then we should thirst for Truth and our Everlasting Life has always been the desire of our Heavenly Father and our Earthly Mother who provide Life to us; we who are their Children: the family of Man. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So take heart and have courage my Brothers, for we are embarking on a journey that will uncover the lost words of the Son of Man and we will soar above the mundane levels of our lives. On this journey we will be confronted with ancient language and customs, but these are of no import on our journey back to the Law because words like Monsanto, Blackwater, BP Oil are simply the modern words to describe Satan's minions; like the demons of old. Symbols to give name to the enemy - who hides in plain sight.</span></div>

<em><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">"Long ago, before the Great Flood, the Great Ones walked the earth, and the giant trees, even those which now are no more than legend, were their home and their kingdom. They lived many score of generations, for they ate from the table of the Earthly Mother, and slept in the arms of the Heavenly Father, and they knew not disease, old age, nor death. To the Sons of Men did they bequeath all the glory of their kingdoms, even the hidden knowledge of the Tree of Life which stands in the middle of the Eternal Sea. <br /><br />But the eyes of the Sons of Men were blinded by the visions of Satan, and by promises of power, even that power which conquers by might and by blood. And then did the Son of Man sever the golden threads that bound him to his Earthly Mother and his Heavenly Father; he stepped from the Holy Stream of Life where his body, his thoughts, and his feelings were one with the Law, and began to use only his own thoughts, his own feelings, and his own deeds, making hundreds of laws, where before there was only One.<br /><br /> And so did the Sons of Men exile themselves from their home, and ever since have they huddled behind their stone walls, hearing not the sighing of the wind in the tall trees of the forests beyond their towns."</span></em></div>

And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount: and Moses went up. And the Lord called unto Moses out of the mountain, saying, Come unto me, for I would give thee the Law for thy people, which shall be a covenant for the Children of Light. And Moses went up unto God. And God spoke all these words, saying, <br />
<br />
<em>I am the Law, thy God, which hath brought thee out from the depths of the bondage of darkness. </em><em>Thou shall have no other Laws before me.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall not make unto thee any image of the Law in heaven above or in the earth beneath. I am the invisible Law, without beginning and without end.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall not make unto thee false laws, for I am the Law, and the whole Law of all laws. If thou forsake me, thou shall be visited by disasters for generation upon generation.</em><br />
<br />
<em>If thou keep my commandments, thou shall enter the Infinite Garden where stands the Tree of Life in the midst of the Eternal Sea. </em><br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall not violate the Law. The Law is thy God, who shall not hold thee guiltless.</em> <br />
<br />
<em>Honour thy Earthly Mother, that thy days may be long upon the land, and honour thy Heavenly Father, that eternal life be thine in the heavens, for the earth and the heavens are given unto thee by the Law, which is your God. </em> <br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall worship thy Heavenly Father on the evening of the Sabbath.</em> <em>The seventh day is the Sabbath: thou shall remember it, keep it holy. The Sabbath is the day of the Light of the Law, thy God. In it thou shall not do any work, but search the Light, the Kingdom of thy God, and all things shall be given unto thee.</em> <em>For know you that during six days thou shall work with the Angels, but the seventh day shall thou dwell in the Light of thy Lord, who is the holy Law.</em> <br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall not take the life from any living thing. Life comes only from God, who gives it and take it away.</em> <br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall not debase Love. It is the sacred gift of thy Heavenly Father. </em> <br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall not trade thy Soul, the priceless gift of the loving God, for the riches of the world, which are as seeds sown on stony ground, having no root in themselves, and so enduring but for a little while. </em> <br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall not be a false witness of the Law, to use it against thy brother: Only God knows the beginning and the ending of all things, for his eye is single, and he is the holy Law.</em> <br />
<br />
<em>Thou shall not covet thy neighbour’s possessions. The Law gives unto thee much greater gifts, even the earth and the heavens, if thou keep the Commandments of the Lord thy God.</em> <br />
<br />
And Moses heard the voice of the Lord, and sealed within him the covenant that was between the Lord and the Children of Light.<br />
<br />
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tablets of the Law were in his hand.<br />
<br />
And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tablets. <br />
<br />
And the people knew not what became of Moses, and they gathered themselves together and brake off their golden earrings and made a molten calf. And they worshipped unto the idol, and offered to it burnt offerings. <br />
<br />
And they ate and drank and danced before the golden calf, which they had made, and they abandoned themselves to corruption and evil before the Lord. <br />
<br />
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing, and the wickedness of the people: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. <br />
<br />
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin, ye have denied thy Creator. I will go up unto the Lord and plead atonement for thy sin. <br />
<br />
And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, thou hast seen the desecration of thy Holy Law. For thy children lost faith, and worshipped the darkness, and made for themselves a golden calf. Lord, forgive them, for they are blind to the light. <br />
<br />
And the Lord said unto Moses,<em> Behold, at the beginning of time was a covenant made between God and man, and the holy flame of the Creator did enter unto him. And he was made the son of God, and it was given him to guard his inheritance of the firstborn, and to make fruitful the land of his Father and keep it holy. And he who casteth out the Creator from him does spit upon his birthright and no more grievous sin does exist in the eyes of God.</em><br />
<br />
And the Lord spoke, saying, <em>Only the Children of Light can keep the Commandments of the Law. Hear me, for I say thus: the tablets which thou didst break, these shall nevermore be written in the words of men. As thou didst return them to the earth and fire, so shall they live, invisible, in the hearts of those who are able to follow their Law. To thy people of little faith, who did sin against the Creator, even whilst thou stood on holy ground before thy God, -I will give another Law. It shall be a stem law, yea, it shall bind them, for they know not yet the Kingdom of Light.</em> <br />
<br />
And Moses hid the invisible Law within his breast, and kept it for a sign to the Children of Light. And God gave unto Moses the written law for the people, and he went down unto them, and spake unto them with a heavy heart. <br />
<br />
And Moses said unto the people, these are the laws which thy God hath given thee.<br />
<br />
Thou shall have no other gods before me. <br />
<br />
Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image. <br />
<br />
Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. <br />
<br />
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. <br />
<br />
Honor thy father and thy mother.<br />
<br />
Thou shall not kill.<br />
<br />
Thou shall not commit adultery.<br />
<br />
Thou shall not steal.<br />
<br />
Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Thou shall not covet thy neighbour’s house, or thy neighbor’s wife, or anything that is thy neighbour’s. <br />
<br />
<em>And there was a day of mourning and atonement for the great sin against the Creator, which did not end. And the broken tablets of the Invisible Law lived hidden in the breast of Moses, until it came to pass that the Children of Light appeared in the desert, and the angels walked the earth.</em><br />

We worship the good, the strong, the beneficent Earthly Mother and all her Angels, bounteous, valiant, and full of strength; welfare-bestowing, kind, and health-giving. Through her brightness and her glory the winds blow, driving down the clouds and the plants that grow up from the earth by the never-failing springs. The Earthly Mother and I are one. I have my roots in her, and she takes her delight in me according to the Holy Law. I feel the power of the Earthly Mother flowing through my body like the river when it is swollen with rains and courses mightily with a great noise.<br />

In the midst of the fresh air of the forest and fields, there shall you find the Angel of Air. Patiently she waits for you to quit the dank and crowded holes of the city. Seek her then, and breath deeply of the healing draught which she offers thee. Breathe long and deeply that the Angel of Air may be brought within you. The rhythm of your breath is the key of knowledge. The Angel of Air soars on invisible wings: yet you must walk her unseen path if you would see the face of God. Sweeter than the finest nectar of honeyed pomegranate is the fragrance of the wind in the grove of cypress. Holy is the Angel of Air, who does cleanse all that is unclean and gives to all things a sweet odor. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;">Chapter One</div><br />
My name is Henny and I am looking across a sea of grey and white. I see no other color, only the cold white grit of snow that stings like desert. I have never seen a desert. Now I see only white swirling and twisting on waves of wind against the flat grey world. Drifts begin to billow and twist out shapes in the dusky shadows. I see Buffalo; he looks at me with lazy eyes; then swirls away onto the last of the setting sun. I turn back toward our shelter when falling snow begins to drop, fat clumps of white. I look up and new formed flakes fall onto my face making me smile. I walk toward our tent and as the wind picks up I realize I have never seen a forest either. I pull back the flap and poke my head inside.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I enter, ducking low, pulling the flap tight against the wind. I look at our dogs on one side of the fire and my mate, John on the other sitting on our fur lined bed. I ask if he checked the dogs paws. He says yes and the rough ice had caused their foot pads to crack. He greased them and wrapped them for the night. I pull at the fasteners on my parka as John points to the tea he prepared and pats the bedding beside him. I take off the last of my outside gear and sigh as I lean into him wrapping my hands around the hot cup. He asks about my walk and worries that the storm might get worse before morning. I am not concerned I tell him; we are warm in our tent, tucked into a big drift, there is enough wood close at hand and we have food for a long stay. Our footwear too is in need of repair, the storm would provide time to mend ourselves and our gear. We have been travelling this sea of white for a full moon. I am tired.<br />

God is my wisdom, so I cannot err. God is my intelligence, so I am always thinking rightly. There is no waste of time, for God is the only doer. My work is always done well, for my work is God’s work.</span><br />

That man came from the ground and God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; man became a living soul. Creation theory believes that God created the Universe, including the Earth and all the creatures in it, in seven days (not all think this seven days is literal). The theory of creation says that creatures started out as distinct and separate organisms when God created them. These distinct creatures have the capability to adapt to their surroundings to a certain extent.<br />

Of course, we humans basically came out of the gate running – becoming agriculturists and civilization builders from the beginning. Adam and Eve build a farm and beget Cain who begets Enoch … common ancestors.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Looking through the eyes of evolutionary biology; geology, paleontology, nuclear physics and/or cosmology it is evident we have been here a very long time. The earth had been evolving for over 3 billion years and there have been diverse times, creatures and ideas of life. Then at some point 5-7 million years ago one of our common ancestors crawled out of the muck and drew in a breath.<br />
<br />
Eventually around 3 million years ago we became human. We are now the genus Homo sapiens, but evolutionists include other hominids such as Neanderthal who co-existed with anatomically modern humans in a period some 500,000 years ago.<br />
<br />
Darwin it is said; believed that all of humanity belonged to one family tree, and there existed in the past animals who are common ancestors of all humans now living. Could some of our common ancestors be animals?<br />
<br />
According to the so-called Eve gene project, the global human population of today can be traced back to a single common ancestor. Every person alive today has inherited their mitochondrial DNA from one single great-great-great- . . .-grandmother, nearly 200,000 years ago. We are brothers and sisters?<br />
<br />
Chemistry calls life by its smallest element names; hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen. Ancient Hebrew translates these element letters HCNO into YHVH. YHVH is the Hebrew name of God. The DNA code letters and the elemental composition of them means YHVH = CGAT; the DNA helix. Gregg Braden calls this the God Code. DNA; the creative building block of all life; it interlocks and unites, creates and adapts into new life forms.<br />
<br />
No intelligent person can deny that humans and all living things on this planet, in this solar system and beyond have evolved or came into being from a common set of circumstances, call it the big bang or call it divine creation; both attempt to express the utter symmetry and intelligence that guides the Law of Life and speaks to us of our place in it.<br />
<br />
We only look at life, seek the truth of life from different perspectives. It appears to me that in its simplicity creationism and evolution have much in common. How can we translate this into a new paradigm and create true common ground? <br />
<h2 class="sectiontitle">Common Paradigm</h2>This will not be simple because it means reframing our reality. But to change the way we view ourselves we need to recognize our false imprisonment. We only need to see Truth to begin to live it.<br />
<br />
Why are we the way we are? Is it human nature? No, it is the forgetting of our human nature.<br />
<br />
This is an introduction to a series I am calling The Murder of the Mother of Man. Why do we suffer from illness, murder, war, famine and death; why have we become slaves to a false master? In this on-going series I will present why human nature as we understand it is a lie. Try to discover how we can begin immediately to change and heal ourselves, our families and the planet.<br />
<br />
The first step will be to learn about our culture; the Agricultural Revolution which began just 10,000 years ago. We will learn about the Mother of Man and consider why her death in our consciousness is important. How was she murdered, by whom? What can we learn from our common ancestors of pre-history who lived for up to 3 million years without war, crime, mental illness, pollution or over population? What was the knowledge of good and evil? Can we change and how quickly? Finally, if I change can I still keep the stuff?<br />
<br />
My thoughts, ideas and beliefs are a compilation of a life time of pondering these issues and by studying certain authors who I believe have found important and required pieces to the puzzle. I believe it is in uniting science with ancient script, indigenous culture and the part of us that is made in the image of God the Father and God the Mother. Divine Intelligence will guide us as we discover the living word.<br />
<br />
According the Essene Gospel of Peace Jesus said. “I tell you in every truth, Man is the Son of the Earthly Mother and from her did the Son of Man receive his whole body. <br />

There was a time when God was viewed as wise and all knowing and before that even more; a Father-Mother Creator. Today he is confused and like an auctioneer at a country fair, selling himself to the highest bidder. Western governments have become so concerned with political correctness that the average person has no idea what our common ideals are or should be. We are searching for answers and selling spirituality has become big business with plenty of peddlers. Consumerism is the new religion. Spirituality is brought to you via the internet, television personalities, radio hosts, there is an unprecedented number of self help books, books containing ‘the answer’, and there are new age gurus and motivational speakers galore. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
You only need to watch a few episodes of Oprah and you will discover that we are searching for a new life; one filled with happiness and abundance. We are told we will find it through our intentions, the books we read, the clothes we buy, the cooks, doctors and decorators we follow and the charities we donate to. <br />
<br />
New spiritual revelations are written in books that become best sellers and are accompanied with lots of stuff to purchase; specialty journals, cards, more books (even though the first one contained everything you needed to know), opportunities to take on-line courses and all this comes, of course, at a cost.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">God, going once, going twice</span></strong><br />
<br />
Who can afford this new religion, the poor who need it? Millions of men and women are living in ghettos or struggling just to get by; yet they watch and pray each day for the Oprah bus to pull up so they too can be recognized and applauded and gifted on national television. <br />
<br />
When Oprah does finally make it to your house, not only do you receive free trips, public recognition, but also prizes like cars, wardrobes, makeovers or cold hard cash. All this she bestows because you have answered some deep spiritual call within and have proven it by creating material abundance in your life. And you too can sell your aha moment, now that you have it. <br />
<br />
Many will argue that is not the message; but listen and look at the interviews with the latest celeb who has the answer to your life problems, look at their dress and poise, manicures, hair and makeup, their homes and business holdings; all things to covet. All these things can be yours if you only believe hard enough and buy their book or use their cream or watch their new show.<br />
<br />
What of the new spiritual gurus trying to sell you the newest ‘secret’ to assist in the manifestation of more material abundance and of course, peace of mind. Gleaming web sites that promise the true path, the only path, the miraculous path, the path to God himself (and all the goods he will provide). All you need to do is subscribe now, buy now, watch now, commit now! There are just 8 days left to buy happiness. <br />
<br />
What then of the man or woman who cannot afford the good things, or the favorite things. How do they reconcile? It may appear to them that a personal sense of fulfillment and peace of mind is something only the rich can afford. Many are left feeling like they are failures, unable to grasp the answer, held back by their own negative thinking, they blame themselves for not making it. But if it is not Oprah and the gifts, then maybe, if they are lucky, perhaps they could still get chosen to reveal themselves in all their ugliness for the ratings and vicarious pleasure of viewers on a spin off show, where tough love is the word of the day. Well why not? There is a free trip there too.<br />
<br />

How does a living prophet; that is how many of these guru’s see themselves, sell you God? A God that only wets your appetite or peaks your interest in spiritual development, but stops short of the answer - please enter your Visa number before continuing. It is like God has become a game show host; do this, wear that, eat this, sent money here, buy this, buy that and then all your friends and neighbors will know how spiritual you are and all your dreams will come true. Like your own private genie! <br />
<br />
New age prophets are quick to remind us that God does not require his prophets to go hungry a laborer is worthy of his hire – but if the message is pure, if the message is true, if the message is love; how can they charge you for it or tease you with it? Yes a writer should get paid from a publishing house through the sales of their books; the host of a web page should get compensated for their labors. But the true message that they back themselves with – often quoting Jesus or Gandhi or Mohammad– abhors just these practices. <br />
<br />
Our governments and our culture too, no longer provide spiritual direction and in the name of political correctness have left us rudderless, bound by more and more rules and laws, but there is no cohesive glue binding us together as neighbors or people with a sense of community. Who are we? What do we believe? What are our ideals? <br />
<br />
After 9/11 the President of the United States spoke to all Americans telling them to set aside their fear and shop. Do not let the terrorists win; he told them it was their patriotic duty to go to the malls and shop for the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas buy-a-thons in spite of their fear and the alerts still leading daily newscasts. We are Americans he told them and we will not be stopped! Shop! Is this what we have become? A people whose only goal is to accumulate things? It would seem so.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">A Race to the Checkout Stand</span></strong><br />
<br />
So what are we searching for? Peace of mind, fellowship, love and obviously material wealth and abundance. How does one resolve spiritual ideals and the modern material world? The problem is you cannot. <br />
<br />
When one reads scripture it consistently states that your sustenance, indeed all your needs will be supplied by God and is dependant only your personal relationship with Him; thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Everything that we hold most dear in life is free, our intelligence, our bodies, health, our children and friends, the air we breathe and the water we drink, but we forget this in the pursuit of adornments for our bodies and our homes, afraid we be left behind and found wanting. <br />
<br />
Jesus spoke against organized religion – yet the religions that follow him are organized in order to accumulate wealth. Great Wisdom and ancient Laws of Truth do not change from one generation to another. The law of gravity was still a law and we were bound by it even before it was discovered; it has not changed because we understand it better now. Our intelligence and sophistication cannot change these Laws.<br />
<br />
One thing remains clear, spiritual unfoldment is a personal journey; it is not a race to the checkout stand. The truths found in the bible are as relevant today as the day they were written and if one seeks to understand our culture and how we came to be this way – it is not to be found in the best seller section of the grocery store. It is found outside in nature where the Laws of God and Man were written. Finally it is found in the simplest truth, Love your brother as yourself. Love costs nothing. Yet this seems the most difficult spiritual truth to practice in this material and self-indulgent time, these times where we are told and encouraged to emulate the new prophets of materialism, and the game show hosts who have branded spirituality.<br />

<br />
Having studied human biology, I know that all life is combination and interaction between various atoms. For example; oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen make up 96% of our bodies chemistry. DNA directs those atoms, through biological development, into neurons, self regulating heart cells, muscle, bones, ligaments, teeth and hair, our organs, the color and texture of our skin: a human baby. Cognitive development provides for unlimited human potential, it begins in the womb and continues for our lifetime! <br />
<br />
I do believe in choice though and allow others to search their own conscience regarding this choice, between birth control and abortion. Both readily available in Canada, . I know it is not always simple, but certainly a good percentage of 91,000 abortions in 2009 could have been prevented through the use of contraceptives. <br />
<br />
However I also recognize that birth control pills and other alternatives such as condoms are an emerging social change; I think only 30-40 years old? Therefore, tolerance and abortion must remain as alternatives to personal responsibility as we await an education rollout regarding the options men and women have available to them. <br />
<br />
Life begins when sperm and egg encounter and every moment from then until physical death is the miracle.Izora Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09853947409000476467noreply@blogger.com0
