Re: what does it mean to turn rocks into gEm stones?
Not to worry, you have the right to your opinion, just as I have the right to mine.
I am aware that Manley P. Hall was a Free-Mason, however, I have not read any of his other writing save the "The Secret Teachings of All Ages". I was referring to Manley's book in the context of this post because the book does offer information about the sacred geometric/vibrational relationship to all things.
Truth itself is not harmful, it is how the truth is/was used and manipulated that causes harm, and I too rail against the misuse of truth certainly by the Freemasons but many others. Those I call the wisdom-keepers include those who would commit subterfuge in the name of truth or any other agenda you wish to put in the blank.
So, yes, important to be discernful and to separate the grain from the chaff, which I believe Ohfor07 is very capable of.
Contamination abounds but just as MH himself, relies on books of antiquity to *glean* wisdom from, so too, we must look to the past to find our way in the present. I feel that banning books, critical thought, and such is not only harmful but opens the door to other places, I personally would not want to go.
Just for the record, I am in no way connected to any Luciferian movement or ideology and have never been. I was baptized as an infant and continue to espouse the language of brotherly-love which Christ embraced.
Perhaps, it has offended you that I have *raised the bar* in my statement that we are powerful beings and can do what we believe we can do, but this is something which is a part of my reality and in these times, for me, it does represent the hope which is much needed. I do not feel threatened by this concept. I know it is not a popular concept and probably *not nice* to bring up in polite company since it makes people feel uncomfortable, but I did and make no excuses for it. I feel that inspiring others to *will* the changes they wish to see is a good thing. I have seen in my friends' healing ministry, and my own, miracles we ascribe to God but certainly, the person must want to heal in order to receive these blessings and grace.
So, yes, it will take critical thinking on the part of us all to find our way out of the cloud which seems to envelop us on many fronts. The wisdom-keepers from the layers of time include those who would explain the fire from the thunder & lightning, the ship in the harbor, the ufo from the sky, the miracles of Christ, the power of medicine/science, the need to give over your power to them so they could act in your best interest. I am advocating that it is time to think more for ourselves and be part of the solution and not part of the problem. That we stand up and will for a way to be healers. It can be something as simple as smiling at your child in your moment of biggest frustration, or giving a friend a hug when you feel a gulf growing between you, and certainly, telling my own child she can stop her bleeding. It is important that we make choices which say yes not only to us, but to others.
We have been raised to put doctors, church, government and science on pedastals. I do not believe that those relationships are as important to me as they were in my past and certainly, my priority and faith and will do lie in my own spirituality and relationship with God. God is my font of hope and peace.
So, while I am encouraging metaphysical thought, I would never consider it, in accordance with my personal cosmology, Luciferian. It is my opinion, my experience, and there is a sign on my office wall which admonishes me to, "Expect a Miracle".
I do. I also believe that just as I would intend that self-power be used for good and altruistic values, that others would use this same concept to enslave us. It could be described as Occam's razor with which I try to simplify my philosophy such that when all the trappings of life fall away, love for myself and all others remains. I am reminded in this moment of the huge blackouts in NYC when nothing electric would work and everyone had to help one another and did. But conversely, in Katrina, we saw how far the government had strayed from that concept, even refusing others who wanted to offer help to alleve the suffering. It is not easy living our lives in so much darkness but I trust that like the butterfly effect, I do make a difference.
I wish you well~~I am glad for you that you were returned to health, by the Grace.
peace and blessings,
Zoe
