Revelation Bible - Vivus
CHAPTERS 45-88
45:14 "And
I say unto you, blessed are those who are humble in spirit, for
humility opens the gate of heaven."
45:15 "Blessed
are the challenged, those who long to live in the light, but are
faced with many impediments which block the path to the light.
Elohim shall give them comfort."
45:16 "Blessed
are the calm, those who are not overcome by their own desires,
or the chaos around them, but trust in God. They shall have
peace in their hearts in the world and inherit the Earth to
come."
45:17 "Blessed
are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness. They hearken
to the still, small voice, and with desire and action, seek to
fulfill the will of God. They shall be filled overflowing with
the light that they seek."
45:18 "Blessed
are the merciful, who see in the misfortune of others their own
life that could be, and help others as they would wish to be
helped, not just with alms, but also giving of themselves. They
shall be blessed with the mercy of the Almighty."
45:19 "Blessed
are the pure in heart, those who are upright and sincere, honest
in every thought and activity. They will have the Holy Spirit
abiding always with them, and they shall see God with a special
witness."
45:20 "Blessed
are the peacemakers, both among nations and among neighbors,
those who have a peaceful mind and a harmonious heart to resolve
the disputes of men. They shall be the treasurers of Elohim,
guiding divine peace from the heavens to light the lives of men
upon the Earth. And they shall be called the Children of God."
45:21 "Blessed
are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake; they that
live the highest light despite the condemnation of the world.
They shall rise a step in heaven for every lash they take upon
the world, and the kingdom of heaven shall be theirs."
45:22-23 "Blessed
are you, when you resist evil, and men shall revile you, and
persecute you by word and deed, and say all manner of evil
against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in
heaven, and thus did they persecute the prophets which were
before you."
45:24 "You
are the salt of the Earth: but take heed not to lose your savor
or be contaminated by the impure, else with what will the food
find its flavor? It would thenceforth be good for nothing, but
to be cast out, and trodden under the feet of men."
45:25-27 "You
are the light of the world. In the example of your life, how you
eat and speak and dress and live, you should be as a city upon a
hill that cannot be hidden. For you do not light a candle and then hide it under a
basket, but put it on a tall candlestick that it shall give
light to all who are in the house. The world is your house, therefore, do not hide the light of
Elohim that burns within you, but hold it high that all the
world might be lit by your light."
45:28 "Let
your light so shine before the world that those who condemn you
will know in their hearts that they condemn a Child of God, and
that those who are lost Children of Elohim, will see your light
and find their way home."
45:29-31 "Think
not that I have come to uphold the law and the prophets, for I
have not come to uphold, but to fulfill the true words of Elohim
given to men, and destroy those that are not. And there is far more to be trampled under foot than to be
upheld, for the teachings of God have been taken, and the
teachings of man have been given. I am he who is the builder, and I have come to tear down the
works of man and restore the
temple of God."
45:32 "Some
of you here are of the world, but conquer yourself and you can
be numbered among the Children of Light."
45:33-34 "Some
of you here are Children of the Light that have been lost in the
world and now you have found the source of the light, but cannot
see how to reconcile the life you have lived with the life you
know you should live. Choose that which has eternal significance and you shall have
joy, both in this life, and the life to come."
45:35-36 "Some
of you here are Children of the Light who have committed in your
heart and shown by your deeds that you are Children of Light
indeed. Unto you, I say that your righteousness must exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, for much has been
given to you, and much is expected."
45:37-38 "You
know that it is the law that you shall not murder, and whosoever
murders another shall be judged in both this life and the next. But I say unto you that there is far more ways to murder than
killing the body, and all are accountable to God and should be
accountable to the laws of men."
45:41 "Therefore,
I say unto you that a man who has barely controlled anger
without a righteous cause, and injures a man, or a woman, or an
animal, either in their body or their spirit, must be judged the
same as the man who attempted murder and failed."
45:42 "Knowing
this, let peace and calm always flow in the heart and mind, and
thoughts, and words, of the Children of Light, save in defense
against that which is unrighteous."
45:43 "And
when you speak, speak with respect to all men, and to all women,
and to all who work for you, and to all animals. Though you may
command them to do this or to do that, do it only with kindness
in your words and respect in your thoughts and actions, save for
those who do not reciprocate the respect which you give."
45:45 "Let
the Children of Light always be the light; especially among one
another, especially among husbands and wives and their
children."
45:46 "If
you have a disagreement with one another, speak of it together
and come to a solution with words, and reason, and respect, and
love."
45:47 "Do
not sulk in silence, for that is only fuel for the fire and
shows a disrespect, not just for others, but for yourself, and
for Elohim."
45:48-49 "Almost
as bad as anger is to treat another, especially a husband, wife
or child, as if they are an idiot, and that their thoughts and
opinions are not even of worth to listen to with intent to hear. To not listen with respect to the thoughts and opinions of
your husband, wife or children, or brothers and sisters of
light, even when you are in disagreement, or even when they are
simple in their method of explanation, is a grievous sin in the
eyes of Elohim, needing not only repentance before God, but
restitution to those you have wronged by your words and actions."
45:50 "When
you are wrong, admit your wrong with humility, and ask the
forgiveness of both God and the person you have wronged; and
prove your sincerity by restitution to the person you have
wronged."
45:52-53 "Do
not be hardheaded and unreasonable when you are in the hands of
your adversaries, nor docile like a sheep allowing others to do
with you as they will. Endeavor to give them no cause to do
worse to you while you are in their hands, but stand up in
defense of righteousness and fairness. Keep your peace and wait until you are no longer in their
hands; then stand before them and the fair and impartial, to
present the facts of their damnation."
45:54-55 "You
know that by the laws of God and men, it is said that you shall
not commit adultery. But I say unto you that whosoever looks upon a married woman
or man with lust in their thoughts, has already committed
adultery in their heart."
45:56-58 "You
see my wife Miriam, beautiful, with her face uncovered, and it
is not a sin to look upon her. Nor is it a sin to look upon her
and admire her beauty, for she is a creation of Elohim, and you
honor Elohim by admiring the creations of Elohim. It would be no
different if she were standing here before you naked in all of
her splendor. Yet the man who looks upon her with lust, who thinks impure
thoughts of her, but does not act upon his thoughts by either
word or deed for fear of the consequences, has nevertheless
already committed adultery in his heart. This silent adultery may not be punished by man, for it is
kept hidden and unknown from men. But it is known to God and
shall be punished by God, both in this life and the next."
45:59-60 "Therefore
if you are weak to lust, you must separate yourself from the
temptation, lest you are burned by the fire you start. If your eyes cause you to sin, cover your eyes that you will
not see the temptation. For it is better that you are blind to
temptation, than your whole body and soul is cast into the
rubbish dump."
45:61 "Verily,
your eyes are the windows of your soul, and what your eyes see,
your body becomes. Therefore, let your eyes be focused only upon
righteousness, that your whole life may be full of light."
45:63 "Now
lust is the greatest temptation of the adversary within; lust
for a woman or man, lust for power, lust of gluttony, lust for
money. All things of lust lead man to commit acts for which the
eternal punishment is far greater than the pleasure of the
fleeting fulfillment, which is here today and gone tomorrow."
45:64-67 "Of
these, lust for a woman, be she married or not, often clouds the
better judgment of man, more so than all other types of lust.
Therefore, against this lust must you ever guard. To prevent this lust, by law and tradition, women cover
themselves from head to toe in uncomfortable garments that men
cannot look upon them and lust. Yet it is not the woman who is sinning, but the man.
Therefore, it should not be the woman who must be covered in
uncomfortable coverings, but the man. Let the woman dress in
comfort and freedom. And if a man finds that seeing the bare
skin of a woman causes him to lust, then let the man hide
himself away in his house, or cover his eyes with coverings so
that he is blind. The woman should not have to suffer because of
the sin of the man."
45:68 "That
the fires of lust may be righteously quenched, all men and women
should also be wed, and this they should do while they are
young, shortly after their eighteenth celebration of birth, that
the natural lust which Elohim gave to men and women for pleasure
and procreation can be satisfied righteously within the bonds of
marriage."
45:76 "But
bring no children into the world save you are prepared to
nurture their hearts, bodies, minds and spirits; for all who are
married will be held accountable, not only for choosing in
selfishness to not have children, but also for choosing to have
children when they were not prepared to care for them in all
ways to encourage their growth, expansion and happiness."
45:81-83 "Again,
you know that the laws of old say that you shall make an oath to
God before men to prove the seriousness of your intent. But I say unto you, take no oaths to God before men to
demonstrate your veracity or intent, but to men only say 'yes'
or 'no'. Let any oaths to Elohim only be for the purposes of Elohim,
not the purposes of man; and these only in private or within a
close circle of your brothers and sisters of light."
45:84-86 "You
know that the laws of old say that there should be an eye for an
eye and a tooth for a tooth. Yet, have you ever known of a judge
to demand an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth? No, not in
all the history has it been so. The meaning of this law then is that when an injury has been
given by one to another, that the compensation to the injured
must be equal to the injury suffered. No more or no less. And
this is a true law of Elohim. But not for all injuries does this apply, but only for those
which cause a man grievous or irreparable harm to his life or
income."
45:90-91 "Avoid
the courts of law except for the most grave matters; those that
are so grievous or have caused such irreparable harm that they
cannot be reconciled by your family or the Family of Light. Other than this, courts of law will inflict both the
petitioner and the defendant with a poison to both their spirit
and their life, from which they will not easily recover."
45:92-96 "There
are times when you will be burdened by the unreasonable actions
or requirements of others. When these are in opposition to
righteousness or of great seriousness, you should oppose them.
But often they are merely an irritation, the acts of bullies and
people in power. In such cases it is better to effect
indifference and even go beyond what is demanded, for then you
take away their sport and they become bored and let you be.
Therefore, if a Roman comes and compels you to carry their pack
for a mile, offer to carry it for two. If a man slaps you in the face without cause, turn your other
cheek to him as well, provided you or your family, or the Family of
Light are not threatened with real harm. But if your family, or the Family of Light is threatened, or
your own life or safety, do as you must to defend yourself; but
in that, do nothing that will make the matter worse."
45:98-99 "You
have heard in the laws of old that it is said to love your
neighbors and to hate your enemies. But I say unto you, hate not your enemies, love them as
misguided children of God. Ask for blessings upon those that
curse you that they might find the errors of their ways; and do
good deeds even for those that hate you, that their hate might
be turned into admiration and respect."
45:100-102 "Pray
for those who spitefully use you or persecute you, that you
might always be an example of the higher path walked by the
Children of the Light, who show by the their lives that they are
true sons and daughters of God. Remember Elohim loves all the children of men, and makes for
the sun to shine, and the rain to fall for the blessing and
benefit of everyone, both the good and the evil, the just and
the unjust. Can you do any less than your mother and father in
heaven? For if you only have love for those who love you, what
could be your reward?"
45:103-104 "And
if you give greetings only to your brothers and sisters of light
and ignore the wayward in the world, how are you any different
than the Publicans or Pharisees, for do they not do the same? Therefore, strive each day to be better in every way than
the day before, and strive each day to live your life in ways
that are loving and virtuous and just, even as Elohim is loving
and virtuous and just with you, even in your imperfections."
45:105-107 "Take
heed that when you give alms you do not do it before men to be
seen. Do not sound a trumpet for the poor to gather and know
that it is you who is their benefactor. But when you give alms, do it in secret, that only those
overseeing the largesse's may know from whence it came; and even
then, if you give in anonymity, it is more pleasing unto God.
And that which you do in secret shall be rewarded openly to you
by Elohim. When you give alms, do so without consideration for how much
you are giving, except to be sure that it is not too little.
Other than that, do not let your right hand, which gives alms,
know how much your left hand took from your purse."
45:109 "But
when you pray, go into a closet or a room where you are alone
and shut the door that you can have privacy, and pray to Elohim
in secret as a friend speaks to a friend; and Elohim who remains
hidden from the eyes of men, and is your truest friend, shall
reward you openly."
45:111-112 "When
you pray, except in prayers of sacred ritual, do not use vain
repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they shall be
better heard by God for their many repetitions, but in fact, God
hears them not; for their repetition shows that they pray only
with their words and not with their hearts. Verily, I say unto you, Elohim hears not the words of men
said in prayers, save those that are said with feeling from the
heart, and with love sincere; and to other than this, God is
deaf."
45:113 "Understand
that Elohim knows everything you are in need of before you ever
ask. But by asking with passion and feeling from your heart, and
with sincere love for God, you demonstrate that you actually
value that which you ask for."
45:114-115 "When
men sin against you and repent not, you have no obligation to
them. But when men sin against you, and are truly sorrowful for
their action, and offer a sincere repentance and honest
restitution to you, then you must forgive them in full, and
remember their sins no more; even as Elohim forgives you in full
and remembers your sins no more when you have given a sincere,
full and contrite repentance."
45:118-120 "Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon the Earth, where moth and
rust decay and where thieves break through the gate and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, such as acts
of kindness and love, of honesty and fidelity, and goodwill and
good stewardship. For these are the treasures which neither
moths, nor rust, or any of the plagues of men, can decay or
corrupt. These are the treasures which thieves cannot break in
and steal. These are the treasures of enduring value, which mark you as
a man among men in life, and a prince among princes in the world
to come.
45:121-123 "The
love of money and power are the Gods of the world and if you
pursue and lust after either, let it be a warning that you have
strayed from the path of light. For you cannot serve two masters: you cannot serve Mammon
and Elohim; either you will hate one and love the other, or
favor one and deny the other, or hold to one and despise the
other. You cannot be a Child of Light and also love and pursue
money or power, for they are oil and water to one another and
cannot mix."
45:127 "Life
is meant to be lived in tranquility and joy, and these come from
contentment with less, not ever seeking more of the things of
the world. "
45:128-129 "Fulfillment
and happiness come from quiet days with your wife or husband,
and playing with your children, and listening to the concerns of
your brothers and sisters of light, and being of service to your
community, and being a good steward of the land, and to all the
creatures of the Earth. If you have all the treasures of the Earth, but you have not
these things, you are most destitute among men, and a pauper in
the world to come."
45:130 "Why do you worry about tomorrow? Sufficient is the day for
itself. Which of you by worrying or planning for a tomorrow that
may never come, can add one day to his life?"
45:136-138 "Therefore,
take no thought, saying, 'what shall we eat or what shall we
drink, or where shall we live, or how shall we be clothed?' After all these things, those who are lost, seek and
sacrifice their lives for emptiness. But Elohim knows you have need of all of these things and if
you do not pursue them foremost in your thoughts and actions,
but instead store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, then
all these things shall come to you as you have need."
45:140 "The Earth has been given to you that you may have all of
these things and have them in abundance, if you have faith; seek
that which you desire to find and do not expect it to simply
fall out of the sky, and remain balanced in your life between
your needs and your desires."
45:141 "Therefore, do not live today for tomorrow, but live today
for today: the days to come will have their own challenges. For
a life of peace, joy and true fulfillment, sufficient is the day
for the challenges thereof."
45:142 "Do not condemn others for their lifestyles and choices that
are different from yours, and do not despise those who do not
believe as you do, or hold the same things of value."
45:143 "The more you judge others, the more they will reciprocate
and judge you. And with the disdain that you show, so shall you
be disdained."
45:144-147 "And be careful not to criticize members of your family, or
your brothers and sisters of light, if they have not asked for
your opinion. Every fault you see in them you likely have even greater in
yourself; and only because of that can you recognize it in
others. Therefore, rather than criticize your brothers or sisters,
by word, or even inflection, or even what you may think is a
friendly suggestion, seek first to improve yourself and wait for
them to seek you out. When your brother or sister is ready for help they will ask
for your opinion or advice; therefore a suggestion unasked for,
that does not seek to improve without judgment, but first
belittles by word or inflection, are words that should never be
spoken."
45:148 "When you desire to praise another, shout it from the
hilltop, but when you think to criticize another, chew upon your
tongue."
45:149 "Give not that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your
pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and
turn again and rend you. "
45:150-151 "Each day there are only so many hours; and in your life only
so many days. Therefore, every day is precious, and should not
be squandered trying to help those who do not desire your help,
or teach those who do not desire to be taught, or uplift those
who prefer to stay in the pit. Be of good service, but only to those who value the time you
give; only to those who seek the help you offer; only to those
who desire to hear the good news you speak; and only to those
who wish to be tomorrow more than they are today; not in the
ways of the world, but in the ways of the light."
45:152-153 "Ask with faith, for any thing of righteousness that is a
need of in your life, and it shall be given to you. Seek with
faith, for any thing of merit, and you shall find it. Knock with
faith upon any door where you need to enter, and it shall open
unto you. For every person of virtue, who asks with faith shall
receive; and every person of virtue who seeks with faith shall
find; and every person of virtue who knocks with faith will find
all doors open unto them."
45:154-156 "Which one of you, whom if your son asked for a loaf of
bread, would instead give him a stone? Or, if he asked for a fish, would instead give him a snake? If you who are with faults, still know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much more shall our Father and
Mother in heaven, who are without fault, give good things to the
Children of Light that ask of them?"
45:157 "Therefore, all the good things whatsoever that you wish men
would do for you, do you even so for them: verily, this is the
fruit of the law and the prophets."
45:158-159 "I have spoken often of the Children of Light, and many here
have wondered who they are, and if they are one. Verily, the Children of Light care not for the ways of the
world, but are enraptured with the ways of God, and the
community and Family of Light. They walk a different path than
the path of the world; a path that leads them to peace and
fulfillment and community in this life; and overwhelming joy,
exaltation and expansion in the life to come."
45:160 "A Child of Light comes not by birth or by decree, but by
choice, and the conviction to follow the precepts they know to be
true."
45:161 "Many are called to be Children of Light, but few are chosen;
because only those who tend the orchard are allowed to harvest
the fruit."
45:162 "And many have not been called, but are still chosen; because
having seen the light, they make the choice to abandon the
darkness and live the light. Like a wayward son, they are
welcomed back into the arms of Elohim."
45:163
"If you would be a Child of Light, enter in at the strait
gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to
destruction; and many are those that go that way. But strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads
to life in the light; and few are those that find it."
45:164-166 "Beware of false prophets, for there shall be many that shall
spread like a plague upon the land. They will come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Everyone who preaches in my name is not of me, but only
those who live the teachings I have given."
45:167
"Words are like dust; alone they are worthless. It is only when
words are turned into actions of love, and service, and
humility, and virtue, and respect, and stewardship, that you may
begin to accept the one who claims they are of me, which speaks
the truth, upon which you may build your house."
45:168-173 "It is not by miracles that you will know them, but by
knowledge that works miracles. It is not by wealth that you will know them, but by
austerity, that they give their excess above their needs to the
poor. It is not by having many men to command that you will know
them, but by seeing them toiling by the sweat of their brow, in
common with their brothers and sisters of the community. It is not by power that you will know them, but by a
tenderness and stewardship for all life. It is not by great oratory that you shall know them, but by
the teachings of the light they show in the example of their
kind and virtuous life. It is not by the deference that men give them that you shall
know them, but by the respect and attentiveness they give to
others, especially those of little means or position."
45:174-175 "Therefore, though false prophets shall abound, there is no
need for you to be led astray. Look to the things which I have
given, by which you may separate the false prophet from the
true. Then go in private and ask God to confirm the conclusions
of your mind and the feelings of your heart. Simply remember that you will know them by their fruits; and
that the life they live is a greater witness of their veracity
than any of the words they speak."
45:176-177 "You
shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from the
thorn bushes or figs from the thistles? Every good tree brings forth good fruit, in harmony with the
teachings I have given and the life I have shown unto you: but a
corrupt tree brings forth fruit that does not come from the
vineyard and orchard of Elohim, and it is fit only to be
discarded upon the ground to rot."
45:178-179 "Now some will say that they receive a little good fruit from
the teachings of a false prophet, and therefore they just ignore
the words which have no harmony in their heart, and lift
themselves up with the words that do. But I say unto you, that every good tree brings forth only
good fruit. There is not a good tree that has one branch with
sweet fruit and an adjacent branch with rotten fruit; for one
bad fruit will spoil the basket, even as a single bad influence
can decay that which would otherwise have remained good."
45:180 "A truly good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can
a tree corrupted bring forth good fruit that is not already
tainted with its demise."
45:181 "Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit must be hewn
down and cast into the fire, lest it taint the purity of that
which is good."
45:182 "Wherefore, remember this test of a prophet and of a Child of
Light: By their fruits of their life you shall know them."
45:183-184 "Now do not think that a Child of Light, or even a Prophet or
an Apostle, will never have fault or err in their personal
choices; or that a leader of the Communities of Light will never
sin and be in need of repentance. If they were already perfect
they would be translated in the blink of an eye and be no more
upon the Earth. But in the life they live, you see them live as I have shown
you and taught you to live. Not as the world lives, but only as
the Children of Light live."
45:185 "Nor should you think that everyone that calls out to God, or
praises Elohim, or who claims to be acting in the name of God,
will actually ever enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but only
those who live the life, and truly do the will of my Father and
Mother in heaven."
45:188 "Therefore, whosoever hears my words and lives them, I will
liken to a wise man who built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and his house did not fall: for it was founded upon a
rock."
45:190-191 "And everyone who hears my words and lives them not, shall be
likened unto the foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew and beat upon his house; and it fell: and great was the
fall of it.”
46:29-33 "I
speak now from the same scrolls that still are read in the
synagogues, 'and God said, let
us
make man in
our
likeness and let them have dominion...' 'And
again, 'Behold the man has become as one of
us...'
'Go
to, let
us
go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.' In
these words you see mankind was made in the image not of God,
but Gods. They were made male and female, in physical
appearance like the physical appearance of God, one a male, one
a female; a father and a mother, a part of the Elohim whom you
worship."
46:34 "Elohim
is not a faceless aeon without substance or form as is taught
today. Even the very text of the scrolls read in the
synagogues record Moses speaking to Elohim, 'face
to face.'
That there is no doubt that the scroll records an actual event
and not a metaphor, the scripture concludes, 'as
one man speaks to another.'"
46:35-36 "Understand
that Elohim is not a faceless aeon of the male persuasion.
Nor is Elohim only one aeon as you have been led to believe, but
many. But
the Elohim that is the creator of this world is three: the
Father, the Mother and the Son, who is your brother; for the
eternal soul of each of you is a creation of our Father and
Mother in heaven."
46:37-39 "And
more than this: an Elohim is also what each one of you can
become someday, as you learn and grow from your experiences and
choices and become perfect. And
it is for this cause: to learn and grow and become more perfect,
that you should be striving for every minute of your physical
life upon the Earth. And
it is for this cause: that you might learn and grow by your
experiences and choices, that suffering is allowed to exist in
your life and the life of every person, some to a very great
degree."
46:40-43 "There
is no greater desire of your Father and Mother in heaven than you should return to them in glory; and they wait with love
to embrace you and welcome you home. But
you cannot return to a realm ruled by the Elohim of perfection,
unless you are first more perfect. You
do not need to be perfect as the Elohim are; for you continue to
expand for all eternity; and you have forever to continue your
perfection. But
you must grow beyond the bonds of the ways of the world; you
must grow into the ways of the Elohim; and in that, you become
greater than you are, greater than you began; and a harmony that
can live in the presence of the Elohim."
46:44 "When
you seek to understand the nature of Elohim and try to
comprehend why suffering exists and why bad things happen, even
to the most wonderful and righteous people, remember how you
help your own children to become more than babes; in the same
manner do your Father and Mother in heaven seek to help all of
their children upon the Earth."
46:45-47 "You
let your children experience their life. You teach them
right from wrong; what can hurt them and what is good for them.
You admonish them to be of good character and virtue. They
journey through life and they never forget the teachings you
gave to them, both by word and by example. But until your
teachings are confirmed by their own experiences and
observations, they do not shape them into more than they were."
46:48-50 "By
the teachings of your words and the examples of your lives you
lay the foundation fupon which your children
build their lives. But
the building is not built until they can prove by their own
experiences and observations that the foundation is true. By
this, they learn and they grow. Sometimes they make mistakes,
and even those confirm the foundation you built, and help them
to become more the next day than they were the day before, if
they so choose."
46:51 "And
I say unto you that everyday of life is a school, no matter your
age; and each day there are many tests; and each choice you
make, be it big or small, is one."
46:52 "Sometimes
people, even well-intentioned and righteous people, make the
wrong choices. They learn from the pain and the error of
their ways. When the choice comes again, they hopefully
choose wiser."
46:53 "It
is better to experience a little pain and suffering for your
short time in mortality to help you to walk a better path than
to not have that incentive to walk in righteousness, and condemn
yourself by your poor choices to far greater pain and suffering
for days without end in the life to come."
46:54 "And
it is by this means: to experience the bad and the good, to make
choices, both right and wrong; to have the opportunity each day
to become better than you were the day before; that your sojourn
in mortality is fulfilled, and you may pass beyond the shinning
gate and into the realm of the Elohim forever more."
46:62-64 "Verily,
verily, I say unto you: before you were born of woman you were
born of spirit; and before you lived upon the Earth you lived in
spirit beyond the Earth. You
came down into mortality that you could experience things that
only a physical and mortal body can experience, and this that
you might learn from your experiences; that you might become an
eternal soul of greater wisdom, of more love, and fuller
empathy and sympathy for your brothers and sisters of life, and
eternity; that
you might become more like the Elohim."
46:70 "Therefore,
when a person is born crippled, but still capable, this is
someone who chose to be born thus, before they were ever
birthed, that both they and their family and friends might have
greater opportunities in their sojourn in mortality to become
more than they began."
46:71 "Sometimes
an affliction will strike a man in the prime of his life, for no
apparent cause of his own. But like the man born crippled
this can sometimes be a choice made before he was ever born into
the world, or a choice made by his higher spirit later in his
life, to help him or those in his life to learn greater empathy,
sympathy, faith and love."
46:72-73 "But
there is also a second aeon that may overshadow the man who
becomes afflicted later in life, and it is this aeon that is
usually the cause. Like
the man who was born crippled, it is often the case that the man
who acquires a disease or infirmity also made the choice to do
so. But unlike the man born crippled, he may not have made the
choice by action, but by inaction or incorrect action."
46:74-75 "There
are certain laws of health by which you would be wise to abide.
These are not necessarily laws written on the sacred scrolls,
but they are taught and known to the Children of Light. Living the true laws of health and vitality produce superior
wellness. More pointed, not living the laws of health, whether
by choice or ignorance, bring about greater disease and
afflictions."
46:76 "This
body you wear is mortal. It is subject not only to death,
but to all manner of diseases, infirmities and imperfections.
That is how it was created by Elohim that through your mortality
you would be given the opportunity to make wise choices."
46:77 "As
you are a good steward of the temple of your body, that habit
becomes a part of who you are, and you become a better steward
of other things given to your care such as your children, your
animals, your crops and your community."
46:78-79 "As
you prove yourself with lesser things, Elohim will give you
greater things, both in this life and the next. Elohim rewards the good steward, but has an empty cup for the
poor steward, save they recognize the error of their ways,
repent, and commit to living a greater light."
46:81 "If
you do not learn the lesson of your poor health, even as you
recover, you are doomed to fall to another infirmity soon
again."
46:86 "As
I walk among you today, ask yourself which man are you; the wise
man who seeks to ever act in wiser ways, or the foolish man who
seeks always immediate comfort and pleasure, and considers not
the painful consequences that shall fall upon him on the
morrow.”
47:15 "Miracles
can happen from faith alone. But there are also specific
things that you can do, both inside and outside, that can expand
the miracle, or focus the miracle, or even manifest the
miracle."
47:17 "Miriam
has been with me from the beginning, from before the world ever
was. All the mysteries of heaven are known to her."
47:22 "...There
are many mysteries of heaven, and the world shall know them not;
but none shall be kept secret from the Children of Light once
they are prepared to receive them."
47:28 "The
people of the world could never understand this: how someone you
just met could be treated as if she had lived within your heart
and home all of your life. But in truth we have lived with
her for longer than life, and shall continue to live with her
and love her beyond life; therefore she is not a stranger, she
is dearest family. She knows it, and we know it, and now
you know it, so let there be only peace in your heart concerning
this forever more.”
47:30 "Yeshua
began to speak to them again, saying, 'It is time that as a
Quorum of Twelve you are more organized, for Elohim is a God of
order not chaos, and with order, time slows, and much is
accomplished.'"
48:13-15 "In
this you see the future coming to pass, for when those who are
given the birthright cast it upon the ground, it shall be picked
up and cherished by those to whom it had not been given. And I
say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west
and the north and the south, saying, 'we shall sit with Abraham
and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven; for it is our
birthright.' But
on that day they shall be cast into outer darkness where there
shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, for what has
been abandoned cannot be inherited, even as the future is
written by the present."
48:21-23 "My
teachings are like seeds sown upon good soil. Each of you
are the good soil. You would not have come here and
remained here for these days if your hearts were not beating to
my words, and your eyes not seeking a greater light. But
when you return to your home, you become the gardener of your
life, which is your greatest stewardship. For my seeds to grow
and fill you with light, you must wisely cultivate the garden of
your life. You
are also the steward of many more things, including your
relationships, which can span eternity. But unless you first
are a good steward of your own life; unless you first cultivate
and blossom the garden that bears your name; a good steward of
anything else, you can never be."
48:26-28 "But
new seeds have been planted in your heart. They will grow
into marvelous flowers of the sun if you will but cultivate and
nourish them. And
how is this done? How do you cultivate the flowers of light
planted in your heart? With love and humility; with repentance
and restitution; with respect and honesty; with service and
prayer; with a life renewed as the old garden is turned under
that the new garden may blossom. Therefore, do not just hear my words and nod your heads in
agreement; but hear my words and do them."
48:34-35 "And
woe unto the master who compels his slave to do evil, or to the
officer of the army who compels his soldiers to initiate attacks
instead of protections of defense, or to the rulers of kingdoms
who compel the innocent, who would otherwise be pure. For
them, it would almost be better that they had never been born;
for when one man forces another to sin, where to object would be
death or great penalty; that man takes upon him the sins of they
who were compelled, and the penalties in the hereafter shall be
multiplied seventy times upon that man."
48:36 "And
though a man of darkness may compel one of light to commit evil,
and may escape a penalty in this life, know that it is but for a
breath of eternity, and in the hereafter all shall be held
accountable for the actions of their lives."
48:41-42 "Before
the world ever was, Elohim laid out the plan by which all things
would be, not just in this life, but also in the life to come. And
to all the thoughts of man there would be an accounting. And to
all the actions of man there would be an accounting. And the
accounting is written upon your soul.
48:43 "Good
thoughts and deeds are credited with light upon your soul.
Wicked thoughts and deeds bring darkness to your soul."
48:45-46 "Your
soul is put into a balance, and the light and the darkness which
you put into it in mortality are weighed one against the other
until your place of resonance is determined. And
there you are sent, not by force or decree, but by the
inexorable pull of your own soul towards its resonance, the dark
to the darkness and the light to the light."
48:47 "The
difference is in this life, you may sin and not only feel no
pain or consequences from your actions, but might even feel
pleasure in your sin. But in the eternity to come, you
cannot escape the consequences of your darkness."
48:56 "It
is never too late to turn from darkness to the light. But
you know not which day and hour your soul shall be called from
life to make an accounting for eternity. Therefore, do not
procrastinate or delay to think, act, and live in the light."
48:57 "Your
eternity awaits you and whether you live in a world of light and
joy and abundance, or a world of darkness and cold and hunger,
depends entirely upon the choices you make every moment of every
day; for you are the architect and builder of your eternity."
49:18 "It
is not something that can be taught, but something that must be
acquired; the greatest treasure of heaven or earth, and its name
is faith. "
49:19 "Until
ones faith is perfect the veil cannot be lifted to the past or
the future. The past forgotten and the future longed for,
are necessary to develop faith, and only once ones faith is
perfect can the veil be lifted.”
49:21 "And
Miriam answered her, saying, “Perfect faith is to know that any
righteous, unselfish thing you ask of Elohim shall be done; that
any command you give to men, or demons, or mountains, in the
name of Elohim, in virtue, shall be done as you have commanded;
to know it with every fiber of your being; and to know it
without doubt."
49:22 "Perfect
faith is to know that the will of Elohim is your will, and this
by your free choice and desire, not by fear, or because of
pleasant association with your friends or family; but because
the light burns bright in your heart and lights the path before
you with a torch that cannot be dimmed."
49:23 "Perfect
faith is to hear the voice of Elohim in the wind moving through
the trees; in the songs of the birds and the music of the
crickets; in the rush of the river or the tinkle of the creek."
49:24 "Perfect
faith is to feel the embrace of Elohim in the arms of all whom
you love in the deepest part of your heart. I feel the
embrace of our Heavenly Father and Mother when I hold you, or
our children, or Yeshua."
50:20 "But
it is within the walls of our own home, within the embrace of
our own wives and children, or husbands as it may be, that we
truly glorify one another and help our dearest loved ones to
transcend the bonds of mortality in spirit, even while we are
still in the life."
50:22 "To
marry with love, and have children, and to share an unbreakable
bond and devotion to one another - this is a great part of the
Plan of Eternal Progression that Elohim laid out before the
world ever was."
50:23 "It
is with your family, that you are called to do your greatest
work for Elohim. Though you may be a busy man of commerce;
or called to be an Apostle and carry great demands upon your
time; or called to be a missionary far from your family for a
time; you must never neglect your family."
50:24 "Your
family, and love itself, is like the most delicate and beautiful
of flowers. It requires constant devotion and attention to
thrive, but when it thrives it brings you a joy and fulfillment
as great as anything you will ever experience."
50:24-26 "Do
you desire to truly know Elohim? Do you wish to feel the
endless and boundless love that your Father and Mother in heaven
have for you? Then embrace your husband or your wives.
Not just in passing, but hold them tight; listen to their
breathing and feel their heart beat against yours. Smell
the sweetness of their hair and feel the softness of their skin. Drop
down all of your walls and merge your aeons as one. Savor the
feeling of oneness that washes over you, and through you, in
you, and around you. From
the depths of your heart speak to them of your love; tell them
in softness and with your aeon alive with light, that you love
them with every fiber of your being; with every part of your
body, mind and spirit.
50:27 "As
you hold your children in your arms, feel their love emanating
unto you; a love so pure, without judgment, seeking only the
same love in return."
50:28-29 "In
the arms of your dearest families; in their words of love spoken
softly; in their praises given often; in their harsh words or
voice never heard; is a taste of heaven on Earth. Therefore,
partake of the love of your family, and partake often. As
you partake, so should you give."
50:30 "As
you hold and cherish those whom you love, think of how greatly
your Heavenly Father and Mother love and cherish you. By
this you will come to experience and feel their infinite love in
every part of you, more surely than by any other thing you can
do.”
51:2-5 "Consider
aeon. What is it? Where is it? How is it? Aeon
is from Elohim. It is everywhere. It is in everything,
including you, and it takes many forms. Aeon
is energy like a fire, power like a wave of the ocean, and a
force unknown like a lodestone. All
people are affected and influenced by the aeons that surround
them. Both those that touch them from other people and those
that touch them from beyond."
51:6 "The
people of the world understand that they are affected by
mysterious aeons, but to them the cause is unknown. Among the
Children of Light let those mysterious aeons be known and
understood that they may be called upon as needed."
51:7-8 "You
can enliven the aeons that are a part of you and you can create
and control aeons beyond you. Even as you make a recipe
for the food you prepare and gather all of the ingredients, so
too can you call aeons from beyond the oceans of the sky to
accomplish what you will. So too can you create a shield
that will repel aeons that have come upon you undesired and
unbidden. Not with the natural man of the world are these things
possible, but only with the Children of Light who live in virtue
and righteousness."
51:9 "You
have within your body seven abodes of aeon. Each creates
an independent fire, but each is also affected by the others.
When one is perturbed, all become out of sorts."
51:10 "As
Children of Light it behooves you to always be striving for
balance in your life. As you reach for this worthy goal it
is wise to consider the state of your seven abodes of aeon.
Are you continually nurturing and caring for each aeon in ways
that makes the whole of your being vibrant and full of light?"
51:15-16 "Your
seven personal aeons of power, including the eighth when it is
formed, are called the LANAKA. The
sacred sounds of your aeons of power, beginning at the top and
following to the bottom are: Xe (zēē), Ka (käh), Qo (kwōh), Ja (jäh),
Za (zāy), Wz (wĭz), and Vm (Vĭm)."
51:17-18 "The
aeons of power align vertically and there is a powerful
relationship between all of them, as well as groups of them. When
all of these are in harmony and unison they create an eighth
aeon of power, the sound of Oo (ōō ),
which appears not in one place, but everywhere in you and
outside of you. Your aeon of Oo radiates from the core of
your soul. It fills you and everyone and everything around you
that it reaches with the essence of your desire."
51:19 "Understanding
the Lanaka within you is essential to your ability to channel
the aeons of heaven. It is not enough to merely learn of these
seats of power and how to enliven them. You must also
learn how they relate one to another, and how to attune and
harmonize groups together for specific purposes."
51:22 "The
first aeon is called the Xe (zēē). It is located in a space
outside of your body, and slightly above your head. This is the
seat of power for your spiritual gifts. This is your straight
channel to Elohim."
51:26-27 "But
the Xe does not function alone. When you desire to call
upon your sacred powers, to heal another or yourself, or to
command nature as you need to fulfill the will of Elohim, or any
other thing that is good and virtuous, selfless and noble, you
must form a harmony and unison of movement with the Xe, the Ka
and the Ja. A
supporting harmony is necessary from all of your other aeons of
power, but it is these three which become the active force,
empowered by your faith, to fulfill your desires."
51:28-29 "Below
the Xe, residing within your head, is your aeon of Ka (käh).
This is the abode of your thoughts, and your thoughts can be
projected with both subtle and great physical power. Each
moment, both while you are awake and while you are asleep, your
Ka is forever active. Though it may rest, it never sleeps."
51:30 "One
of your great reasons for being born into mortality was to give
you the opportunity under the challenging circumstances of the
physical life, to more fully enliven your Ka."
51:33-34 "In
the Celestine Kingdom of Elohim no one is given more
responsibility than they have knowledge to carry out that with
which they are charged. Therefore, whosoever is of virtue and faith, and gains greater
knowledge and ability to call upon the power of their Ka in
mortality, shall have so much more opportunity in the world to
come."
51:35-36 "Though
mortality is but a few breaths of your eternal life, they are
very significant breaths. In the fire of the furnace of
mortal life, you must begin to think very clearly and well or
you will be consumed by the fire. The
challenges of the fires of mortality give you the opportunity to
enliven a greater portion of the power of your Ka. If you take
advantage of the fires and use them as a tool instead of a
threat, the power and ability of your Ka will increase."
51:38-40 "At
least once each day, preferably soon after you arise and before
you begin calling upon your Ka for understandings and decisions,
you should one by one, rapidly spin each of your aeons of power,
that you may be fully enlivened and prepared for the day to
come. Likewise, each night, before you enter your dreams, it is
beneficial that you should enliven all of your abodes of aeon in
the same manner. When
you do this, continually say aloud the name of the aeon which
you are empowering while exhaling a single breath.
"
51:41-42 "Below
your Ka, residing within your throat, is your Qo (kwōh). This
is the seat of power for your confidence and ability to express
your thoughts and desires. In
essence your Qo is your faith in yourself. It partners with any
and every other aeon of power as needed, and no other aeon of
power can fully achieve its glory without the unwavering support
and harmony of the Qo."
51:43 "Below
your Qo, residing in the area where you feel the beat of your
heat is your Ja (jäh), the seat of power for your emotions."
51:44 "The
Ka and the Ja - what you think and what you feel, are the two
most important aeons of power. But to be magnified to
their greatest potential they must be in harmony with one
another, and called upon in equality."
51:46-49 "To
the natural man the Ka and Ja are more often opponents rather
than friends, and many people guide their lives by their
preference for one, while ignoring the other. In truth, one
without the other is like a mallet without a chisel.
Certainly you can do some things with either alone, but together
you can build something of greatness. So it
is with your Ka and Ja. They have very similar sounds, the only
two aeons within you that do; a testament indeed that they were
designed by Elohim to be used together in harmony. You should
train yourself to never rely just on one or the other, but
whenever one is called upon, let it always call its opposite
twin that they might merge in a harmony of truth, light and
power."
51:51 "I
would speak now of the harmony of three. Three is an even
more empowering number. A very strong union capable of
great power, as you see in the Father, the Mother and the Son
that are the Elohim of this world and the heavens above."
51:52 "Do
you want your Xe to manifest the powers of heaven unto you?
First empower and spin your Ka, and then your Ja, and then your
Ka and your Ja in perfect harmony and unison."
51:56-57 "When
the Xe and the Ka and the Ja are enlivened and move together in
unison as one, your divine soul begins to sing in resonance with
the aeon of Elohim, which fills all things. In resonance
and harmony, you will become one with the energies and powers of
heaven and your faith will be whole."
51:58-59 "With
the essence of faith filling your Xe, Ka and Ja, you will no
longer be as a mortal upon the earth for that moment in time,
but one with the Elohim, and all things shall be possible unto
you, and the power that is faith shall be upon you and in you. It is
in this state that you can most clearly communicate through
prayer with the Elohim, and most profoundly feel and understand
the promptings and guidance of the Holy Spirit of Elohim as the
Mother sends it forth upon you."
51:60-61 "Below
your Ja is your aeon of Zā (z |
