“Where do we come from ?... We come from above where we live with the Peace Dove.”


In order to get enlightened, Christians and Jews need a God that teaches them not to worship idols as
well as one teaching them Patanjali. @AndrewWHarrell May 10 2016

Our Prayer Group YHWH School of Christianity believes in praying to Saints, but not to statues of Saints
(that would violate one of the Ten Commandments, the obedience to which form the
foundation of our whole Christian Jewish Spiritual practice).
It is alright to pray, meditate, and worship seed sounds in the Bible and other Holy Scriptures as names
of God, words and letters as explained in the Prayer Calendar last year. This is called nada yoga or
mantra yoga. Meaning in sound is more important and better to worship than images or photographs or
dolls because faith comes from hearing [understanding] and understanding from the Word from God
and of God and from seeing the Oneness [God] in it...Romans chapter 10. What is Divine Oneness? How
do we define the Number One Divinely? The Name of God tells us. It is Peace, Nonduality or always
being aware and at One with God and your Self....a recursive [term for a mathematical function that
generates itself out of itself] definition. The Jewish Name of YHWH is a recursive function, unlike the
Names of God of other religions. In the Book of Creation, the Sefirah Yeztirah, the Name God uses to
start the process is YAH YHWH. YAH YAHWEH ELOHIM, YAH YAHWEH ADONAI, YAH YHWH YHWH. The
Name YAH is a part of the Name YHWH, so which you meditate on the Name God YAH YHWH you are
using a mathematical recursive function to project the sound out into all of us. If you prefer to meditate
on Bible verses instead of mantras you can meditate on the two verses "I AM the Eternal God and
underneath are the everlasting arms." Genesis. and "Be still and know that I AM God.' Psalms. These two
Bibles verses were given by God to his two archangels Gabriel and Michael in order to help him start the
process Be careful with these meditations and mantras, they are very powerful.

See also the Mandukya Upanishad for a slightly less precise explanation of this. The Upanishad's
explanation is less precise because it define itself [the Self] in terms of itself, and not God and its self.

God our Father created the world out of God [His Son], not nothing God is not nothing, inside of God is
nothingness and he creates, even now, using it. [this is a good revision to suggest to Genesis 1] it says
so in the 1st Chapter of the Book of John. God knows God and God [not Him or Herself] knows the Self
[God]. But, these seed mantras, but idols or stone statues should not be made to be placed in temples
or churchs and it suggested to people that these names live in the idols or statues. Nor do we eat food,
whether it is the Eucharist or Prasad, dedicated to these statues or images of saints, or idols. Our food
is Faith in God, that does not come from these substances but from knowledge of Him, His Son, and
Their Holy Spirit indwelling already in us.

"All material objects change [they can't be God for He or She has something in them that doesn't
change], including your body, your hands. One way to test whether things are material objects is to ask
whether they may be taken or given to another. Another way is to ask whether they are subject."
Matter is an object, subjects are you and I and God. God created the world out of something, but not
out of material objects, out of the nothingness inside Him or Her Self. But, what is it that doesn't change
it is the subject or the subject and the object. If you have only one subject and one object, when the
object is taken or given the ownership of it has to change if was truly given to you and the other person
is try's to get it back and you don't want this. But, if you have two subjects you and God or you and
another person and one object, when the object is taken or given the ownership may not change if the
other person accuses you of stealing it and sues you to get it back.

That is why we need God or some type of higher power to tell us "Do not steal" because otherwise there
isn't as good an ethical reason not to. Hindu's have a prayer mantra concerning the difference between
subject person and object . "I have no father, no mother, only you Self." But, Christians and Jews have a
father and a mother, God and the self, Which say both Yes and No to us, or No and Yes, not only Yes or
only No [as the either or choice which is the basis of some metaphysics].

We are not the world, the world is nothing. God made the world out of the nothing inside of himself. but
he made us who are not nothing, out of something. Himself and Herself.

So to consider a material object your body or an image of your body or another's body 's God, when it
isn't is clearly illusion and not good theology or worship of God. Part of this paragraph's teaching, the
part in quotes, is taken from some stories on Track 16 of the "The Yogi Portraits of Swami
Vishnudevanada, an audio book available from iTunes.



The sounds live[ even as images and bodies don't] inside of the people meditating or even [if they are a
Name of God] worshiping them.
We do not pray to the Saints as if they are specific deities [see the discussion of Buddhist deities in last
years trip to Japan blog where we assert that there is no such thing as a specific deity or deities], But
as Jesus told us to
pray and talk to them, as a friend.





MoreOne reason for meditating on specific deities as a Yogic Christian is to emplace in certain chakras
so we can know God as a multipicity of parts in His Holy Spirit Indwelling in us. When we do that
however we have one general Chakra, the heart or maha world chakra that collects all the Saints and
angels together. And, we need to also keep in mind that "If you can't find God in the human heart, then
you can't find him anywhere. But, if you can find him there you can find Him anywhere.." While doing
this. We might become idolators, like the HIndus, worshiping so many Gods no one person can keep
track of them a


Jesus Christ, however, also a Saint, but not a multiplicity of them, is our One God, the Second Person in
the Trinity and we do worship and pray to Him because of it. If you can't find Him first in your own
human heart, you need not go to Church and look there.

The Saints live in heaven with God, but they are not our One God in Heaven who
We pray to.
However, sometimes the synchronicity of occurrenceof events does give us faith in the
possibility of Saints seeming to inhabiting these statues, even though we are not supposed to request
it or
pray for it, and thus end up worshiping the importance of these miracles.
