Ask, believing you have already received, and You Shall Receive

In prayer for a change in condition, physical, mental, or financial, for yourself or another, bear in mind that the fundamental necessity for the answer to prayer is the understanding of the scientific statement:
“Ask, believing you have already received, and You Shall Receive”
Your Invisible Power” Genevieve Behrend , 1921

Pa Kettle and DDT

I watched a couple of old Ma and Pa Kettle movies last night.

There was one scene in that modern house that floored me. A couple of delivery guys drop a couple of cart loads of some beverage. The next scene showed Pa Kettle standing beside the cases and he remarked "I'd rather drink DDT".

And what year were they made?

The paradox of our time in history.


We have taller buildings but shorter tempers,
wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less,
we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families,
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense,
more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much,
smoke too much,
spend too recklessly,
laugh too little,
drive too fast,
get too angry,
stay up too late,
get up too tired,
read too little,
watch TV too much,
and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information,
to produce more copies than ever,
but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small character,
steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,
fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips,
disposable diapers,
throwaway morality,
one night stands,
overweight bodies,
and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window
and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you,
and a time when you can choose either to share this insight,
or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones,
because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,
because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart
and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, ' I love you ' to your partner and your loved ones,
but most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment
for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak!
And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin (1937 – 2008)

Contesting wills

There seems to be a lot on the news about wills these days.
What about the wishes of the deceased and
honoring what they wanted.

11 11 2009

is a 222 which reduces to 6(1+1 1+1 2+9=11=>1+1) and also 11+11+11=33 a master number.

Busting Loose ...

Substitute Holy Spirit for Expanded Self and it almost reads like a subset of ACIM. In any event it does tie Lynne McTaggart's book "The Field" in rather nicely.




George Lamas translated a version of the Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text. The Aramaic (the language of J) scriptures - called the Peshitta - remained virtually unchanged from the time the bible was assembled. As opposed to the western version from which the King James version was extracted.


For example Mathew 19:24 (King James): "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the the kingdom of God.
The Peshitta reads : Again I say unto you, It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Errors are attributed to mistranslations and the fact the western version went from Arabic to Greek to English and was subject to tinkering.


The Lord's Prayer
Our father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us bread for our needs from day to day.
And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven or offenders.
And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (means wrong, wickedness, error) For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen
Mathew 6:9-13

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us bread for our needs every day.
And forgive us our sins, for we have also forgiven all those have offended us. And do not let us enter into temptation; but deliver us from error. ( anything contrary to the truth; evil)
Luke 11:2-4


Another interesting thing is the names of places change.
Joseph of Arimthea becomes Joesph of Ramtha.
