Rhetorical Rambling or Normal Insanity!

[Talker]

Goodness how to winnow out the reality of the many flowing energies being posted in this forum. Appears that great focus has been placed on the man called Jesus.

When I read the book 'According to Mary Magdalene' back in January of 2004, I found it a very touching story, even though much of it was written from a fictional point of view. Regardless of ones religious beliefs, reading about the person called Jesus, as woven into this story, is much food for thought.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A top-selling author in her native Sweden and in Germany, Fredrikssen here departs dramatically from her recent contemporary fiction (Hanna's Daughters) to take on the foundation of Christianity, as told from the perspective of Mary Magdalene. Though this work proposes to represent the new subgenre of "visionary fiction"--novels with spirituality and metaphysics at the core--the story seems best slotted as historical or religious fiction. Full of keening biblical insurgency, the narrative has a decidedly feminist-revisionist ideology: Jesus respected women, and included women in his band of disciples. If only the male disciples had allowed women an equal voice, Christianity would not be as based on myth and law, but rather would focus on self-sufficiency and responsibility, reconciliation and forgiveness. Providing atmospheric background, Fredrikssen fascinates with the behind-the-scenes details of Mary's life: a flaxen-haired Jewish child, orphaned when Greek centurions kill her family, she is rescued by homosexual warrior Leonidas and raised in a house of pleasure. Mary grapples with the nature of Jesus' love in a time when Jew, Greek, Gnostic and Christian vie for understanding. For the uninitiated reader, following the story across the reinvented landscape of Christianity's first century may prove difficult, but for those well-versed in the Gospel it is a stimulating and serious conversation piece.

From Library Journal
Fredriksson gives a human face to Jesus of Nazareth in this account told by the woman who was his apostle, closest companion, and?yes?bedmate. This Mary Magdalene is a teenaged, yellow-haired, blue-eyed Jewish whore?orphaned as a child when Roman soldiers brutally murdered her family?who meets Jesus walking in the mountains and teaches him carnal love. Years later, when Mary is in a companionable marriage to the Greek centurion who took her in as a child, she is courted by Simon Peter and Paul for her recollections of Jesus and finally records her own account. With the political and religious conflicts of the times as background, Fredriksson (Hanna's Daughters, LJ 7/98) portrays the later life and excruciating death of a loving, feminist Jesus whose teachings would be misinterpreted by the men around him. A lovely, revealing retelling of a powerful story, with an unfortunately weak ending. For larger collections.?Michele Leber, Fairfax Cty. P.L., VA

Hello dear Talker

Is interesting isn't it on how Jesus is seen and searched by many through their own sphere of perception.

Happy are those who touch Christ consciousness ... troubled and happy ...

HI Laura,

Very true, and is why I make effort to avoid starting conversations in politics, religion and sex.

Shucks, how boring physical life experiences would be if I were perfect. 
Be Well

(original start date November 27, 2008) (updated as of 6/30/2010)
Hi To All,
In reading of any post, I 'feeling tone' the writer as to age, health, and city, and will act on those received impressions, my way. Curious yes, nosey no. While one can / could look at profiles to see if an age and location is shown, but, entering it here without asking, is another story.

Hi To All,

As I go through prior posts I find little glitches and spelling errors where the spell checker popped in an erroneous similar word. So I make required changes, so much for spell checkers.

When I started this topic, must admit it was from a some what odd perspective. Do understand, that like in the Star Trek series....To boldly go where no man has gone before. .... , I endeavor to do the same thing mind wise. Nah, don't do drugs, not what I wanted, same with alcohol, I desired to be fully aware with the things I ventured into.

So, I do those odd things as awareness increases, of what the human mind supposedly can do. Not totally altruistic, maybe even a bit selfish or ego based, in plain just wanting to know how true some of what I've read, is real or not.

Healing with mind power is a conundrum. Total failure, success, some success. Then I read that all healing attempts are successful. What! Won't go into that detail here as other posts went into that aspect.

So, as I read the various posts, that indicate a health challenge, I do a remote healing. Does it help! Just don't know. Then I've read about 'healing blue dots', where people claim it works. Whats wrong with applying it to a signature!
So I mentally charge my 'Be Well' at the end of my posts. Does that work! No one ever mentioned any benefit received, so still don't know. Now that I've mentioned it, and you are now aware of it, see what happens. Ha, ego at play, but for a good reason!

Had questioned some 'feeling tones' received in reading posted comments. Odd thoughts. Not all of the 'odd' thoughts were 'strong', but did follow through with a few, with interesting results. Will only lightly touch upon it here.

Some 'odd' thoughts, call it a 'reading' if you want, just didn't tie in with a persons stated age. Hmmn, imagination, or what gives here!  One of my Babblers comment was 'other lives' bleeding in. Huh!  Sheesh, is it really possable that that could be actually happening! Nuts, another case of 'how to prove it'.

Oh well back to my 'normal insanity' level of experiences.
Be Well

Better late than never. Anyway, as a teenager, I recall that most of the time, I could be out in the sun with only two results. Beet red and tender to the touch or a tanned skin and no sunburn. Had often questioned 'why' the two extremes, but never followed up on it.
Until recently.

Even with all the scare talk about skin cancers when in the sun to long, and others yelping at me, when I stripped down to the waist line while outside, I did what I felt was good for my body. Now in all fairness, will admit, there were two instances long ago, of sheer agony and fire red skin.
(patting on, NOT rubbing, with apple cider vinegar took care of that situation)
Otherwise, it was those first warm spring days with plenty of sunshine, that beckoned me to an outdoor sunning session. This goes back many decades, either as on a lake beach, working in the farm field, laying concrete, in the garden or with lawn work. Just the past few days was with a couple hours of sun and skin greeting each other.

So, what did I recently discover!

(in the sun)
Pale skin = red burnt skin color, if body improperly nourished.
Pale shin = tanned skin color, if body properly nourished.

If improperly nourished, there is no natural 'sun screen' present in the body, and one gets the red sun burnt skin look.
If properly nourished, there is a natural 'sun screen' present in the body, giving the tanned skin look.

Now I wonder how this 'body properly nourished' and sun bathing applies to others, regards sunburn or tan!
Be Well

An interesting write and video, go into greater detail on all this 'sunning good for you' aspect, and what good body nourishment involves.

Touches upon the term "redneck', use of 'tanning' parlors, and why dark skinned races may need more sun.

(Yes, this is a commercial site, yet totally in keeping with the overall forum health and spiritual theme)

Thank you Talker for info

Great topic!!!

Yes good nutrition helps.
Sunscreens yes create cancer I used to work in that industry and read the MSDSs (medical safety data sheet) of the active ingredients.
Now the following sunscreen products are safe and not carcinogen: Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide.
Avoid these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunscreen_controversy#Sunscreen_ingredients_can_damage_DNA

Tanning salons ..I don't like them...

About sunburn - this is what we learned in school since little kids and was holding true. To avoid sunburn avoid being in the sun in the hours when sun is above and sending rays perpendicular to earth
- meaning avoid at all cost 11:30am to 2pm and better stay out of sun till 3:30pm
- early morning is best to stay in the sun and those rays are actually life giving, also late afternoon - I had this classmate and she had a bad skin burn and the grandparents took her to the Black Sea and as the doctor advices she was at the beach taking in the forst 3 hrs of sun - from sunrise - her skin regenerated like a miracle!

Earthing System

$320.30 $247.00 + Shipping & Handling (max-kit)
or
$151.30 $127.00 + Shipping & Handling (mini-kit)

For the serious minded and for easier coping these would be worthwhile kits.
Just wearing a 'static' wristlet, does much the same thing, for 'grounding ones body.

Very interesting presentation by David Wolfe on Utube.
Very impressive, and dynamic.
Only from my perspective, David was sold a bill of goods on how to word
his talk, and apparently accepted it at face value.
Use of the term electricity and volts was erroneous, without added clarification.
One is lead to believe that electricity was actually passing through his body, in the form of volts. Is not the truth though.
What was being demonstrated was 'body resistance' in Ohms.

From what I was able to capture from a close-up, the meter is set for 'Ohms".
So the 'high' readings shown were correct, as were the 'low' readings,
but it was for 'resistance' not volts.

The concept demonstrated though, is highly valid.  
Did check and research this out way back in time, some four decades ago.
From a book by Mark L. Gallert in 1966, showing:
'Cosmo-Electric Culture'  by George Starr White M.D. 1940.

There is much more to the process, that I wont go into here, but one
does need to be aware of what ones body is being deprived of, by not
being in 'earth contact'. Even the wearing of synthetic clothing and shoes is detrimental.
Even sunlight can be redirect and used to advantage, by correct use of conducting wires.

Only by very close listening and watching for 'key' words, (if you know them) does it all make sense.  Ohms and earth grounding is part of the key words.
EMF radiation is present with any and all electrical devices.
Shunting those EMF energies to earth ground or avoiding them is a good health practice.

Much more could be added and mentioned here of course.
Be Well

[juliainkc]

Thank you for sharing such an astute and keen expression of looking beyond what is being presented Talker. Seeing through something into deeper understanding of a deeper process ...

and for the idea of calling up the bones and singing over them to bring it into manifestation ~ grounding of Energy ~

To name something is used in the physical reality, for it is the idea of naming the Life Force Energy of an object ... to touch the auditory nerves that has been said in ancient ways to have 3 channels of communication. From the physical world of mundane life, to spirit ways to Soul knowing ...

hmm ... yes, well, more could be said ...

Namaste`

Very interesting and concerted selling efforts are in motion, in the on-line web business.
Firstly, numerous well known names, are tying in with up and coming newbees.  

Secondly, the older self-help programs are reworked with a new slant to address all ones concerns, fears and apprehensions, regards, self esteem, making money, sex, health, spiritual  health, foreclosures, and bankruptcies.

Thirdly, they all play up to ones real life concerns with NLP methods to hook you.

Fourthly, they all bear steep prices to purchase, numerous ones even offering payment plans. As I see it unfolding, it is much like a MLM situation. More often then not, it's the one at the head of the chain, taking in the big money.

Yes, one can make money on-line, no it's not all peaches and cream, nor as simple as some outrageously claim. The sound you hear is cash going down the drain.
It takes being in the right place at the right time, along with patience, dedication, and a willingness to do research, and put in long hours to start.
Basically, it's getting down to knowing what you really want in your life. Some can make it all work, witout doing heavy homework. Yet, it is rare to achieve great progress unless one has gone through the 'yellow pad' routine, of sorting it all out.
Did spell out the 'how' in the enclosed links below.

Far to many have spent more time planning a vacation, then planning their life path. The vacation was a thought at first. Did you just get in your automobile and hit the road! Uh uh, you sat down and planned it all out, with many details and put it into motion. Unfortunately, far to many just wakes  up in the morning with a 'crap, another day of difficulties' attitude.

What's your dream life!

If you are not happy with who you are, where you are, what you are doing, or where you seem to be heading, remember, you alone are responsible.
Many people 'wish' things were different, but that is as far as it goes.They do not really want to change strongly enough to cause a change. Mere 'wishing' is not enough. What to do!  Ha. Yellow pad of paper first. Find out and list what you really want to have happen in your life. Sort it all out. Winnow through the list, for what 'truly' matters, and make what truly matters to you, actually happen.

The prayer of Jabez is a start. Ya gotta ask for the 'good', and Source will respond.
Or let 'free will' and all the past buried negative energies set the path for you!
It is your choice, in which you choose as a path.

So put the 'yellow pad' to work. Lay out what you truly desire in your life.
The beautiful wish dream, well defined, acted upon as already a 'done' deal, and release it to Source.
Notice that you need not buy an expensive course to do this.
Ah rambling again, and of course much more could be said here.

Golly, the new ways to do business on-line highly reflects the ingenuity of the human mind.  Courses are now being sold, showing how to penetrate the 'social media' sites and forums to place commercial ads, linking to external sites.

Have been numerous 'commercial' links, slipping into this forum, some blatantly, and many covertly. While every courtesy is extended to new comers registering, if they violate the basic forum rules, they get 'wiped' out, as they show up.

Here is the rub though, the placement of huge commercial photos, commercial URL's, commercial signatures and commercial links, lurk, with the tentative violator waiting for the opportune time to 'slip' them into the forum.
Won't mention name, but thank you, for the lead to that latest 'big and blatant' infopost, that showed up overnight.
 
If you do spot 'commercial links', that we (moderaters) might have missed, do use the 'Report to moderator' function.  

Appreciate any thoughts you have regards the above.
Be Well

Dear Talker, Adrian and All

I would like to take off my moderator's hat for a moment and say to all, that there are ones who do alot behind the scenes whether in this forum or any place doing life as business.

Where does it all stop! The local paper detailed 303 shootings with 33 lives lost, in a one month period. Of course the blame is laid onto the easy availability of lethal weapons. Yes, there is the 'guns' kill, mantra, by many, and their desire to restrict ownership of all weapons. Well lets give that some thought first. We will need to totally ban or restrict: guns, knives, baseball bats, hammers, and scissors.
Now come secondary dangerous weapons: automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles.
What about events or things that have contributed to death or injuries!  Musical events, public meetings, street marches, building balconies, windows, union protests, wrestling events, circuses, wars, and the list goes on and on.

What is totally 'missing' in the above, and that no one readily acknowledges, is that a 'human' is the activating force behind each occurrence of death or injury.
The event or item, by itself  is passive, until a human activates a given situation.
Some thing 'is' missing!

I would call the 'missing' element 'The Lacking Spiritual' factors'.
What might those factors be!

1 Love.
2 Unconditional Love.
3 The, Love all thy neighbors as thyself.
4 The, Service to Others Before Service to Self.
5 To, Not cause deliberate harm toward another.

Unfortunately, these factors cannot be bought. Some arrive naturally, some are taught, some you read about in forums, sadly, some you learn through experiences

Just imagine how beautifully life on earth would be altered, if somehow, all, were to practice and apply those simple factors.
Be Well

Ah, Thank You Talker, I see what you mean. I see it a little differently...

I have found that by uncovering the difference in the way it feels when doing something naturally instead of what I was taught has made a huge difference in the way I feel.

and from being a student whose divine oracles if you will came while being in my work encompassed in Nature is the way this understanding became clearer to me. It's how deep we are willing to go to uncover the powerful magnifence of who we really are and it's not about money, fame, and all this stuff at all.

It's what remains after all this stuff 'disappears'. And so, I can see when these things are happening, that one has yet to experience the greater field of experiences available when one knows what they are at the core. We say a good person, I say a God person and it has taken me years to be able to say this from my heart. And what I feel is gratitude and compassion for those who seem to not be seeing what they are standing right in the middle of.

In Harry Potter, 'The Goblet of Fire', during the Tri Wizard Competition, they receive an egg with a hidden message in it, and it takes placing the egg underneath the water to be able to hear the song of the merpeople from the rio abajos rios. He opened the egg and it made a horrible sound that everyone drew back and flinched from. It wasn't in their element of sound reception...

and the possibility arises of ideas formed into an experience, based upon which perception one is currently acting from ~ from Love Notes in my blog ~


‘Everything we do in our lives will be used, or interpreted by the ego or the Holy Spirit. The ego uses everything to lead us further into anxiety. The Holy Spirit uses everything to lead us into inner peace.’

From Marianne Williamson’s Calender, ‘A Year of Daily Wisdom’

again all, just a possibility...

Ah, Talker, in the stream and flowing, as you say and I agree, more could be said..

Love ya, Happy Sunday All ~

Strange world at times, when one finally realizes 'again', that for some reason you've drifted into 'lost focus of goals'. Insidiously this 'drifting' aspect creeps up so innocently one just doesn't realize that it happened 'again'.

One evening I'm questioning 'what the dickens is happening here, that these negative energies are piling up in my life path'!

In pops the thought 'you've lost focus'. Huh!  So I go enter into my Alpha level, and start rooting around. Sheesh, my inner Babbler was dragging up numerous details of negative events for 'inspection'. Not 'one', but a dozen of them. Oh boy, now slips in the light of day. Yup, I hadn't 'fixed' some little events, and slowly others had crept in, making a 'big' flow of negative energies. Ah, now I'm aware of the changes that had slowly changed my 'focus'.

So, what to do!

Ah, go into the blog and reread my own advice as posted.

Back on the road again, to 'How I want my life path experiences to unfold'.

Hi Talker,

Sounds like you were having some of what Carolyn and I were having recently, experience wise.

Brings more meaning to remaining like a child or childlike for me... to be in a state of wonder ~ not carrying the cares upon our shoulders and deep breath and              releasesah                         ~

Great article Talker, 'The Pit In the Cherry, and the Guitar'. I have enjoyed reading this one again as it always brightens my moments when reading something again, you see something else that did not stand out as much before. A living word or some would define this as a song ~

Thank you for singing your song ~
