GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, BUT HE IS ESPECIALLY GOOD WHEN OUR LONG TIME PRAYER FRIENDS ACKNOWLEDGE OUR PRAYERS <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Praying the Rosary with St. Mary, Jesus Christ, St. John Paul II, St. Teresa d\u2019Avila, St. Teresa of Calcutta, Andrew William Harrell, James Dillet Freeman, Rabbi David Cooper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we begin the practice of the rosary and its
silence mental and verbal prayers we affirm the sanctity of God\u2019s Name YHWH, as Jesus Christ has directed us to do in the Lord\u2019s prayer, envisioning it centered as a set of
four letters at the top, the crown of your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some Kabbalists, like David Coorper including Jesus and St. Andrew, do this
by slowly chanting and breathing into the chant two Hebrew vowel letters into permutations around the
Hebrew consonant base letters. For example, OYO, OYAH, OYAE, OYE, OYU \u2026 AHYO, AHYAH,
AHYAE,AHYE, AHYU\u2026..AEYO, AEYAH, AEYAE, AEYE, AEYU\u2026. EYO, EYAH, EYAE, EYE, EYU\u2026..UYO, UYAH,
UYAE, UYE,UYU\u2026 It takes about six months of practice to learn how to do this. Rabbi David Cooper has made
a tape on it you can buy from Sounds True called \u201cEcstatic Kabbalah\u201d. I would only add to his
instructions that when you do this practice you do not start off ecstatically, but breathing very slowly
and carefully. It is only a first step in knowing God and, it is only after you reach the end of the whole
sequence of meditations, the total intellectual realization of how God wants to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
commune with you and
what He wants to tell you that you should allow yourself to become ecstatic. In fact, you should
probably confess your sins as in the Lord\u2019s prayer before you reach this point. Otherwise, because the
Voice of God that you want to listen to can be very small and expressed in very subtle ways internally and you will miss Him. if we don\u2019t take sufficient time to slow our human minds down, centered and starting our thoughts about God with the sanctity and importance of His Name centered in our hearts and minds as the beginning point of knowledge about Him which is going to descend downward from the top chakra and through our hearts, below that where His will is centered manifesting himself in us and down into the tips of our toes where the final confirmation of the 3 part syllogistic logical Truth of His divine Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Joyful Rosary Mysteries are prayed contemplatively according to the method of St. John Paul II and St. Teresa de Avila, St. Teresa of Calcutta on Mondays and Saturdays, the Luminous Mysteries on Thursdays, the Sorrowful Mysteries on Tuesdays and Fridays, the Glorious Mysteries on Sundays and Wednesdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems a little strange to me to pray the Sorrowful mysteries on Fridays and not Thursdays. For we know that Jesus was crucified on a Thursday, rose from the dead three days later on Sunday, whether you count the days as Christian Jews do starting in the morning or Jewish Christians in evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, the day after Thursday, being Good Friday, a day of new beginnings we might not want to be thought of to be sorrowful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps, doing it this way, it is meant to represent a second coming of Christ, and not a remembrance of the first coming?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do know that, as Jesus said during the luminous mysteries, to be said on Thursdays, talking about the last supper as being a Passover meal, and eating it on Wednesday, two days before its regularly scheduled time on Friday, that the beginning of the resurrection which, actually didn\u2019t happen until Friday, after He was being born again, that \u201c I shall not eat it [again] [the meal representing the Jewish Messianic Passover with you] until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is it we are being told to do in remembrance of Him, the Passover meal, being led by St. Moses, representing our attaining freedom by coming out of Egypt as Jews, or His death and resurrection on the Cross, representing our Past in Christ as Jews, or being set free as Christians and Jews from Eternal bondage to our own morality and death, rising up to where we started out with Him and Our Creator God, His Father, in Heaven, above and beyond being held in bondage to this, in bondage to our own human sins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I argue for the reasonableness, concerning what has already been said about it in the Bible, and what we have learned about it by studying what happened with God\u2019s help, that I do claim the truth of and believe faithfully in the truth of that it is both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Christian Jews and Jewish Christians when we bless people through the Holy Spirit indwelling us into them, first we affirm every morning as part of the prayer liturgy the Shema, \u201cHear O\u2019Israel, YHWH Eloheynu, YHWH Ehad, Baruch Shem Gabor l\u2019Olam Valed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then at other times in the yearly liturgy, specifically the monthly priestly blessings we utter and affirm the 3-fold Priestly Blessing Moses and Aaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May YHWH Bless you and keep you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May He lift up His countenance upon you and be graceful unto you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May He support and bless truthfully His Name and Countenance inside of His Holy Spirit Indwelling you and place Peace in High places in Hi Soul and Spirit indwelling you thusly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we have been Bar-Mitzvahed as Jew we can put on a Jewish prayer shawl and use Tefillem, as Jesus Christ, St Andrew, and others of the disciples did during their first coming,death on the cross, resurrection in heaven, descent as a Holy Spirit into us in Israel and Jerusalem, and even today all over the Whole World with people praying the rosary with them.,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven Thoughts About Loving Kindness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Chesed)** <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1st<\/sup>day of the Omer Count<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday April 21, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n For those interested in learning more of the Jewish Hebrew language and Prayerbook Hebrew, which is key to understanding the Old Testament and being able to become a Christian Jew, I recommend the book “Prayerbook Hebrew, The Easy Way” by Anderson, Motzkin, Rubenstein, Wiseman, which is sold on our yhwhschofchrist.org internet shop site and also at Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chesed of Chesed<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loving Kindness is Compassionate, it does not keep a record of wrongs. 3rd Additional Prayers associated with Counting the Omer <\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday April 22, One day after Easter, Passover was on Saturday and Sunday. This year Good Friday and Easter on Friday and Sunday right after each other. Flew Delta from Jackson MS airport to Atlanta, then took Air France\/Delta Airbus in a straight non-stop flight to Rome, Italy. No problems at Rome airport, took a taxi to my hotel, the Rafaello on Via Urbana about six blocks above the Roman Forum area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After checking in walked to the Coliseum, Forum, Circus Maximus area in the ancient center of Rome. Came back to hotel,, then walked up to the Train station to practice taking the subway to the Vatican where I have booked an early bird morning tour of the Vatican Musuem and Sistine Chapel tomorrow<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4th<\/sup>day of the Omer Count<\/p>\n\n\n\n Netzach of Chesed<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loving Kindness is patient<\/p>\n\n\n\n (while having integrity and supporting the rights of others)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesday morning April 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure 2 One of the most beautiful displays of historical maps I have ever seen, taken along the Vatican Musuem hallway going toward the Sistine Chape<\/p>\n\n\n\n Got up, took the subway to the Vatican Musuem where I met up with tour guide Raf. And about 20 other members of the tour group. She is a nice women in her early 40s who really knows her stuff. We started off walking through the hall of wondelful marble statues, then the hall of maps, then reached the Sistine Chapel before the large crowds, then back down the hall to the Gold statue of David again, back across the hall of sculpturs, maps, then turned into the Sistine Chapel, Borgia Apartments which are full of beautiful paintings by MichaelAngelo ,Raphael and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure 2 Christ the judge with St. Andrew’s back turned to us: Michaelangelo’s main centerpiece of the Last Judgement fresco in the Sistine. See two years ago posting and discussion of this painting which I photographed in the 911 Twin Towers, New York City, NY( question, who is the woman standing next to St. Andrew in the Last Judgement? The guide did not know.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesday afternoon<\/p>\n\n\n\n Had lunch in the small cafeteria situated below the Sistine chapel, then out the door toward the Basilica of St. Peter. Had to wait an hour by the steps of the gift shop for the elevators and access to the Stairs up to the top of the Dome of St. Peters reopened from lunch at 1:30 pm. There are about 333 stairs up to the top and it is a good climb, even if you take the elevator up to the first roof position where there is a nice cafeteria where many of the guides eat lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesday evening<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walked down the Via Urbana from the hotel Rafeallo and stopped at the Local Kitchen restaurant to have a Taramesu and apple juice sitting in their sidewalk caf\u00e9 area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stopped into a local chocolate shop walking back where I had a nice talk and prayer discussion with the young owner and a women sitting in a wheel chair with head injury. Prayed with the women and promised to return after the Vanderbilt Alumni portion of my trip for another visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Had a discussion with the hotel clerk at the hotel Rafeallo about Plato and Aristotle and the \u201ckey teaching\u201d on Passover about the four different ways of knowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said his name was Francesco, the same as the Pope\u2019s. And, we started talking about what the Kingdom of Heaven is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure 4 Some guys and girls on the wrong side of the last judgement: Michelangelo’s vision of it. I gave him my card and say that I am an amateur theologian, who is a \u201cmathematical theologian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He asked, do you have the keys to the Vatican. I said my \u201ckeys\u201d to knowing about God and the wisdom of the Vatican and the Kingdom of Heaven are \u201cknowing about knowing\u201d, and \u201cI know that I don\u2019t know, therefore I know Him.\u201d This is a slight extension on the famous teaching of Socrates and Plato about this. They were talking about knowing in general, not necessarily knowing about Our One God, but the saying can apply to knowing about Him also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We discussed the famous painting standing behind him at the hotel desk. It is the painting by Raphael of the \u201cSchool of Athens\u201d with Plato and Aristotle standing in the forefront one of them with a finger pointing upward, not the original, but a copy of which also stands in the Borgia apartments in the Vatican. The guide has told us during the tour that there is a small difference between the original and the copy in that Michelangelo has put a small portrait of himself in the group standing there in the copy. He already knows this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I asked him do you know how Plato defined the number One compared to how Aristotle defined the number One ? Or, more precisely, do you know how they understood it in two different ways?<\/p>\n\n\n\n He does not. How is this connected to the picture? Well perhaps Plato or Aristotle are talking about the number One and the way we understand Him when they are pointing there finger upward?<\/p>\n\n\n\n To the right of him at the desk, there is a picture of another mathematical object than the number one, a Mobius strip. I ask him, do you know what a Mobius strip (a one-sided plane object) is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We represent \u201cinfinity\u201d by the circles on the boundary of the Mobius strip surface. They are an \u201cend\u201d in a \u201cbeginning\u201d and a \u201cbeginning\u201d in an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are an Yogi you meditate on your Divine Human self, your \u201cAtman\u201d as a spiritual eternal body with seven \u201cchakras\u201d. Each \u201cchakra\u201d is represented by a point within a circle. But, what if you expand the circles surrounding each Chakra into a Mobius strip with two circles on the boundary of its one side? Instead of a four dimensional spiritual body in space and time, with a four dimensional name of God YHWH, we are now in an eternal five dimensional realm containing both Him and us and the world around us which He is creating , which is very hard to imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How is it connected to the way we define the integers? How is it connected to the way God made the integers ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure 5.Figure 5 Some of the Saints and angels, assumed into heaven along with St. Mary by our Co-creator’s Jesus Christ and His Father in Heaven,<\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer requires a very deep understanding of the problem of how to define functions, using mathematical symbolic logic and computer mathematics. I will not attempt to try and explain it here. But, it is related to the facts, that \u201cWhen God is One, His Truth is one, YHWH Christ\u201d, \u201cWhen God is Two, His Truth is Two, YHWH Christ\u201d, \u201cWhen God is Three, His Truth is You, YHWH Christ\u201d, \u201cWhen God is Four, His Truth is More, YHWH Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5th Wednesday April 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n Got up and went for an early walk down to the Roman forum area to take some pictures and jog along the Circus Maximus track. On, the way back from walking around the forum ran into some nice Jehovah\u2019s Sitness people standing on the sidewalk away from the crowds giving out, like I do, Evanelical Theological pamplets, and ready to discuss and argue about them. I took the pamphlet, gave them my card and said I also believe similar theology and would study their pamplets. My history studying about them goes back to Vicksburg, MS in the 1950s when they used to come by and talk to my grandmother in our house at 3036 Drummond St. After I got my doctorate in mathematics and moved to 555 Monet Dr., Rockville, MD some missionaries who knew some of the head people in Brooklyn came by several times and we prayed and talked some more. Then, when I retired from work in Washington and moved back to Vicksburg to work in the Geotechnical Laboratory at the former Waterways Experiment Station here, now know as the US Army Corps of Engineer Research and Development Center Headquarters a wondelful black man James Davis continued cutting the grass at my home at 3000 Drummond St. as he had been for my mother there before she died. And, we talked a lot, when I went to Tanzania to visit the Masai Warrior people there I brought him back a Masai Warrior tribal bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thinking about the experiences I have had over the years praying with this group I think they would come out very good with respect to be compared to other groups by studying one of the parables I wrote when I started ourprayergroup amateur mathematical theology in the early 1980s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What would Jesus say if you asked Him “Who is responsible for healing us of our sins?” He would say, He is saying now, “God, and you and I.”<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a story, to think about your whole life long, that explains what this fundamental teaching means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure 7 St. Mary, assumed by Jesus into Heaven and crowned in glory above Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel painting of the Eternal altar of Christ On Tuesday morning I walked down from the hotel Rafaello to jog a few laps in the morning here. Thought about the recent remake of the Movie Ben Hur, 2016 which was based on one of the best selling books of the 19th<\/sup>century by author Lew Wallace. Book was 100 percent fiction but enough truth in it in the way it portrayed the life of its Jewish hero, Judah Ben-Hur as a contemporary and an allegory of Jesus Christ to make its story time-less . Thought about how the story relates to my own parable I wrote to start this website back in the mid-1980s and also about how this movie portrays Jesus\u2019 Jewish contemporary Prince\u2019s of Israel not so much as jealous political power seeking priest\u2019s who crucified him in the movie the Passion of Christ, but as competing brother\u2019s in Christ, trying to be successful in God\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parable of the Two Runners<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jehovah Witnesses as does the YHWH School of Christianity teaches that the purpose of life is to know God, whose name is YHWH better, and to help him bring his Kingdom of Heaven here on earth in many different places, like their \u201cKingdom Halls\u201d. YHWH School of Christianity(Jehovah without the vowels) is also made of Christian Jews, more than Jewish Christians. But, we emphasize bringing God\u2019s Kingdom of Heaven here on earth more \u201cone person at a time\u201d through individual helping people that we meet and talk to like Jesus did during his ministry, and not so much in Churches or Synogogues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jehovah Witnesses sometimes emphasize the human nature of His Son Jesus Christ more than the Divine in their teachings. This is not so much as important to me and God as they do believe in Him and His Son as One Person, even Three, sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How is YHWH School of Christianity\u2019s mathematical theology different than that of the Jehovah witnesses? This is a very deep question, but after thinking about it for 40 years I would say studying the Name of God YHWH as a creator God involves more individual Yogic contemplation through meditation on his metaphysical nature than Bible study devotion to him in Churches. But, knowing that He is Love and knowing He has to love us first, before we can know how to love him is also the prime beginning of knowing how to love Him through prayer, and knowing His nature as just through studying what we learn in the Bible about him and His Son is of main importance in both approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5th<\/sup>day of the Omer Count, Thursday, April 25,2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yesod of Figure 7 St. Mary, assumed by Jesus into Heaven and crowned in glory above Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel painting of the Eternal altar of Christ<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thursday April 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n Got up early, had breakfast and took a taxi to the Rome airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We flew to Bari, Italy, then met up with the rest of the Vanderbilt alumni in the tour group and we transferred to the city of<\/p>\n\n\n\n Polignana a Mari at Hotel Covo dei Saraceni<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup>Luminous Mystery The Baptism of the Lord (YHWH)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is baptized by John in the Jordan River<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the mystery, openness to the Holy Spirit<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verses for meditation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Matthew 3:1-2,11-17<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn those days, came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, \u201cRepent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 1] I baptize you with water for repentance 2], but He who is coming after Me, is mightier than I, whose sandals I AM not worthy to carry; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 3]<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1] Sometimes, it is strange, and hard to understand that in order to have the Christ mind guide us into the future, the mind of YHWH, the mind of God, we must first slow down our human minds, by confessing our mistakes and failures, which we often don\u2019t acknowledge as being such in order to understanding humanly and spiritually the logical and truthful basis of what God wants us to head toward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2] our human and divine intensional understanding of what water is, dwelling in the 2nd<\/sup>chakra of God\u2019s Holy Spirit indwelling us, comes 2nd<\/sup>after our intentsional human divine under standing of what earth is, the #1 primal elemental part of how divine truth indwelling our human understanding of the logic of meaning. But, it comes before the resurrection of that 1st<\/sup>part earthly meaning that has already happened to us in our experiences of God\u2019s Divine prophetic truth, indwelling our rational , spiritually truthful minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3} fire comes 3rd<\/sup>, and locates itself in our 3rd<\/sup>spiritual chakra, counting upward from the #1 root chakra at the bottom and end of spiritual truth counting downward, and the beginning of it resurrecting itself back upward from heaven to earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, who was baptized by John. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the people praying with them say the concluding prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray for us Mary, star of the new Evangelization, that we may be radically faithful to the new Evangelization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd<\/sup>Luminous Mystery, The Wedding Feast at Cana<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christ changes water into wine at Mary\u2019s request<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the Mystery, meeting Jesus through Mary<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verses for meditation<\/p>\n\n\n\n John 2:1-11<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOn the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;Jesus was also invited to the wedding with His disciples. When the wine ran out, failed, Jesus\u2019 Mother said to Him, \u201cThey have no wine\u201d And, Jesus said to her, \u201cO, Woman, what have you to do with me, my time has not come yet.\u201d \u201cHis mother said to the servants\u201d, \u201cDo whatever He tells you\u201d Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. \u201cJesus said to them, \u201cFill the jars with water\u201d And, they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, \u201cNow draw some out and take it to the steward of the feast\u201d So, they took it, \u201c When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from, (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom and he said, \u201cEvery man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, he pours the old wine, but you have kept the good wine until the now\u201d. This the first of His signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, who revealed His glory at your request. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the people praying with them say the concluding prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray for us Mary, star of the new Evangelization, be our advocate, bring us to Christ..<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd<\/sup>Luminous Mystery The Proclamation of the Kingdom<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christ Proclaims the Kingdom of God and calls all to conversion<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the mystery: repentance<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verses for meditation Matthew 4:-17, 23-25<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFrom that time Jesus began to preach saying, \u201cRepent, the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.\u201d And, He went about all Galilee, teaching in our Jewish synagogues and preaching our Gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infimity among the people. So, His fame spread all throughout Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those affected with serious diseases and pains, demoniacs , epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them. And, great crowds followed Him from Galilee, and the Decapolis and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, who preached the Kingdom and forgiveness of sins. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the people praying with them say the concluding prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray for us Mary, star of the new Evangelization, that we may truly repent and avoid sin and its near occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4th<\/sup>Luminous Mystery, The Transfiguration<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is Transfigured on Mount Tabor and becomes radiant<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the Mystery, Desire for Holiness<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verses for meditation, Matthew 17:1-9<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd after six days Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John His brother, and led them up a high mountain apart. And He was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the Son, and His garments became white as light. And, behold, there appeared to Him Moses and Elijah, talking with Him. And, Peter said to Jesus, \u201cLord (YHWH), it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, One for You, One for Moses, One for Elijah.\u201d He was still speaking when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, \u201cThis is my beloved Son, with whom I AM well pleased; listen to Him.\u201d When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, \u201cRise and have no fear.\u201d And,when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no One, but Jesus only.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, tell no One the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, who was transfigured on Mount Tabor. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the people praying with them say the concluding prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray for us Mary, star of the new Evangelization, that desire for Holiness set our hearts ablaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5th<\/sup>Luminous Mystery, the Institution of the Eucharist<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the Last Supper Christ changes bread and wine into His Body and Blood<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the Mystery, Eucharistic Adoration<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verses for meditation<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luke 22:15-20<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd, He said to them, \u2018I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer; for I tell you I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.\u201d And, He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He said,\u201dTake this and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that from now on, I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes.\u201d And, He took bread and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them., \u201cSaying, this is My Body which is given for you, do this in remembrance of Me.

It is considered a very valuable commody for cooking, cosmetics, perfume, medicine. It is a food a fruit, first you squeeze it, then the oil comes out. For quality, the extra virgin label counts, acid contents matter. It is used for personal adornment and as an important way of giving light before electricity was understood enough to be used in this way. The key to making good olive oil is getting it off of the tree within 24 hours after being picked. Its color is no indication of its quality. 1 cough when you eat it, 2 coughs, 3 coughs? Tells you its quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are millions of olive trees in Puglia, Italy. What makes the trees live so long? It is the constant warm climate in Southern Italy that has a temperature just right and for just the right amount of time to grow the trees and their fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some parts of the limestone soil in the South are not usable for growing crops so il was dug up and used as stones to build the dome shaped houses that the farm workers lived in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the middle ages it was used to make people laugh. It has anti-inflammatory chemicals in it that affect the back of the throat. As early as 8000BC olive oil was farming in Galilee, about 2000 years ago the Turks and Greeks took up the practice and it was expanded to Crete in the Bronze age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The people who grew olives in ancient Italy were descendants of an ancient system of slavery in Greece, what we called \u201cshare-cropping\u201d in the US South in the early part of the last century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is considered the practice of the weathly because it takes a crop a few years to produce fruit, and the trees only bear every two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are three problems that occur in the olive oil production:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beautiful Bari- The ancient seaport of Bari boasts narrow lanes and a pretty harbor<\/p>\n\n\n\n With colorful boats bobbing on their moors. You can wander the tight tangle of medieval streets in the cities old town, admire the carved apulian-Romanesque portal of the 11th<\/sup>century Basilica di San Nicola,, which houses the relices of Bari\u2019s patron Saint, St. Nicholas. Pope Urban VI built the crypt in the Church as an important point for pilgrims to the Holy Land to stop at and pay indulgences to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside is a marble episcopal throne and striking mosaic floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For Russian Christianity, Bari is a Mecca and an important pilgrimage to visit the crypt of St. Nicholoas. But, He is an ecumenical Saint venerated by Venetians, Russians, and western Christians as \u201cSanta Claus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were three important miracles of St. Nicholas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dutch people spread the legend of Him, and it came to America. Protestants should explain the legends of St. Nicholas taught in the Catholic Church more so all of us can have a better understanding of who he really still is, and the way he helps us all at Christmas still performing miracles like he did in ancient times when our Church was more Eastern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We traverse the seafront promenade where exhilarating views are revealed at each turn., then strolled the Murat quarter named for JOchim Nurt, Napoleon\u2019s brother-in-law who designed the rectangular grid-plan on which the city is laid out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the afternoon we took a walking tour of polignano a Mare. It is a vibrant fishing village, which rises from limestone cliffs molded by the Adriatic, makes the ideal base for exploration of the region. Passed through the Porta VEcchia gate to stool the cobbbled streets of Old Town, fragrant with flowering plants and freshly baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lunch in Polignana, salad and pizz margherita<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dinner at hotel Caprese salad, duram wheat cavatelli pasta with Shrimps, zuchhini<\/p>\n\n\n\n And tomatoes. Fried Squid and Shrimps with mustard-lime dressing. Dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Along with Gevurah\u2026strength) Saturday April 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n We visited the Martina Franco and Locorotondo Winery Martina Franca is the largest town in the Valle d\u2019Iltria located in the heart of Apulia Martina Franca was once a fully walled city. Today many of the originl towers and gates still exist though many were removed or renovated for roads. In the Old Town, we walked under the Porto Santo Stfano\u2014one o f the town\u2019s remaining Renaissance and baroque gates \u2013into the Piazza Roma. Visited the 17th<\/sup>century Palazzo Ducate and honey-colored Basilica di San Martino, which features sculptures by Stafan da Putignano and Giuseppe Sammartino. Contine through the Valle d\u2019Itria to the municipality of Locorotondo to visit I Pastinis. This family-owned vineyard grows white grape varietals such as Verdeca, Bianco d\u2019 alessano and Fiano Minutalo. Then we continued to Alberobello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday afternoon<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had a discussion with Danielli, one of the other AHI guides who was working with Christina about the history of Jews in South Italy while walking through the UNESCO tulli site and back on the bus there. For some information on the history of Jews in North Italy during World War II, what the Nazi\u2019s and Mussoline did to them, killing at least 40,000 and the remainer hiding in the hills from Florence, see the travel blog on our trip to Florence, Italy posted on this site a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most Jews in South Italy between the Inquisition and World War II arrived from Spain and hence were Shepardic. There were not as many Jews living in the South as in the North when Musollini took over. Some of the ones there were put in detention camps. surrounding Alberobello, called \u201cred camps\u201d. They were descendants of the merchants and bankers from the Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The poor Italian people living<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Alberobello are the fascinating dome-shaped buildings which dot the Aulian countryside. Found nowhere else in thew world, these whitewashed limestone structures are pieced together without mortar, their cobblestone, streets are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The origins of these \u201ctrulli\u201d remain a mystery, but legends abound linking them to ancient Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the evening we had an enrichment lecture on the history and architecture of Lecce and Ostini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The churches in Bari and Naples are a good example of the Norman, Romanesqe style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saint Andrew\u2019s cathedral in Amalfi, to be discussed later, is a combination of this style with the North African Moroccan style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Baroque style in some of the other cities was from the 12th<\/sup>to 18th<\/sup>century. The word means \u201coverdone\u201d. It began in Italy during the Counter Reformation. After Martin Luther had successfully criticized the existing system in the Holy Roman Empire, something had to be done in order to help the rich classes in the cities attract people from the country side into churches in the towns. There are many examples of this style of Church in Italy, The Vatican, St. Peter\u2019s in Rome, is of course the main one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dinner was <\/p>\n\n\n\n seafood salad with vegetables, capunti fresh pasta with tuna, stracciatella chees and pistachio crumbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven Thoughts About Goodness and Justice Sunday April 28<\/p>\n\n\n\n First Glorious Mystery, The Resurrection<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three days after His death, Jesus rises, glorious, immortal<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the Mystery: Faith<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verses for meditation and contemplation<\/p>\n\n\n\n Matthew 28:1-10<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow, after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher. And, behold there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord (YHWH) came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightening, and his raiment white as snow. And, for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But, the angel said to the women, \u201cDo not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here;for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where He lay. Then, go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and behold He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Lo, I have told you.\u201d So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell His disciples. And, behold Jesus met them and, \u201cHail\u201d And, they came up and took hold of his feet and worshipped Him. Then, Jesus said to them, \u201cDo not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, whom is risen from the dead. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.

He said to them, \u201cIt is not unto you to know the times or seasons, which the Father (YHWH) has fixed by His own authority. But, you shall receive Power when the Holy Spirit of YHWH and myself has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in Judea and in Samaria and to the end of the earth.\u201d And, when He had said this, as they were looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight. And, while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them, and said, \u201cMen of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go up into heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, who ascended into heaven. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.

And, suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them tongues, as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And, they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, pouring forth His Holy Spirit. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.

And, another protent appeared in heaven; behold a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads. His tail swept down a third of the stars in heaven, and cast them to the earth. And, the dragon stood before the women who was about to bear a child. That he might devour her child when she brought it forth; she brought forth a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to His throne, and the women fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, who assumed you into heaven. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.

The city was initially gouged out by troglodyltic nomads, into rock-hewn cave dwellings carved into the limestone tuga. Some showcase intricate, ornate facades. Honey-comed through Matera are more than 100 rock churchs decorated with delicate frescoes carved by 8th<\/sup>-13th<\/sup>century monks seeking refuge from the Byzantine Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of these monks were of the society of St. Andrew and we visited a cave dwelling they lived in in the side of the walled city and where they bones, defintelty the \u201cbones of St. Andrew\u201d are still housed. This cave house was used for filming some of the scenes of Mary and Jesus in Mel Giblson\u2019s wondelful film the \u201cPassion of Christ\u201d recreating in local rural scenic beauty and awful. Painful, bloody detail the fulfillment of the mindless hateful prosecutions by those who didn\u2019t understand him and frightening, foreboding of grim prophecies of what Our Lord and Savior, teacher, redeemer, justified of our faith in God, Blessed now and forever, Jesus had to fulfill in order to save all our souls and be resurrected Himself unto His current form of Eternal glory indwelling us all living in our world today (being hidden deep inside the souls of some of us, extending outwardly from others of us along with His and certainly eternally shining brightly, Amen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure 8 Bones from the monks in Matera of the society of St. Andrew who came from the Eastern Orthodox areas of Christianity bringing St. Andrew’s bones first to the southeast of Italy, then to the Divine Amalfi coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this wasn\u2019t interestingly enough, it also turns out that filmmakers are currently filming the new James Bond 24 movie here to be released in November 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They have been scouting filming locations here last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First joyful mystery: The Annunciation<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Angel Gabriel announces the Incarnation to Mary<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the mystery: Humility<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verse Scriptures for meditation Luke 1:26-38<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the Virgin\u2019s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, \u201cHail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And, the angel said to her, \u2018Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David and He will reignover the house of Jacob forever; and of his reign there shall be no end.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n And Mary said, \u2018How can this be, since I have no husband!\u2019 And, the angel said unto her, \u2018 The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And, behold your kinswomen Elizabeth in her old age, has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be called impossible.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, Mary said, \u2018Behold I AM the handmaid of the Lord (YHWH); let it be unto me according to your word.\u2019 And, the angel departed her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the person praying as the archangel Gabriel says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee.

And, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, \u201cBlessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And, why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord (YHWH) should come to me! For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. And, blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord (YHWH) .\u201d And, Mary said, \u201cMy soul magnifies the Lord (YHWH), and my Spirit rejoices in God, my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden. For behold, henceforth, all generations will call me blessed, for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name. And, His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, whom you carried to Elizabeth. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the people praying with them say the concluding prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray for us Mary, cause of our joy, that we love our neighbors and bring Christ into their hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Third Joyful Mystery, the Nativity<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is born in Bethelem<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the Mystery, Poverty of Spirit<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verses from Scripture, Luke 4:2-7<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd, Joseph went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And, while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. And, she gave birth to her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, in the region there were shepherds, out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, an angel of the Lord appeared to them, \u201cBe not afraid, for behold I bring you good news of a great joy that will come to all of the people; for to you, this day, is born in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (YHWH). And, this will be a sign unto you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes in a manger.\u201d And, suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of heavenly host, praising God and saying, \u201cGlory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace among men with whom He is pleased!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, \u201cLet us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing which has happened, which the Lord (YHWH) has made known unto us.\u201d And, they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe laying in a manger. And, when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told concerning this Child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, whom was born unto you in Behlehem. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the people praying with them say the concluding prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray for us Mary, cause of our joy, that out of love for Christ we may detach our hearts from material things and the esteem of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fourth joyful mystery, the Presentation<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is Presented in the Temple<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the Mystery:Obedience<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bible verses for Meditation: Luke 2:22-35<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses (and YHWH), they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (YHWH), as it is written in the Law of the Lord (YHWH), \u201cEvery male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord (YHWH)) and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord (YHWH), \u201c a pair of turtledoves or young pigeons\u201d. Now there was a man in Jerusalem, Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And, it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death until he had seen the Lord\u2019s (YHWH\u2019s) Christ. And, inspired by the Spirit he came unto the temple; and when the parents brought the child Jesus, to do unto Him according to the custom of the law, he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, \u201c Lord (YHWH) now lettest thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word; for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for the glory of thy people Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, his father and his mother marveled at what was said about Him. and Simeon blessed them and said unto Mary, \u201cBehold this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against (a sign of contradiction)( and a sword will piece through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, whom you presented in the temple. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the people praying with them say the concluding prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray for us Mary, cause of our joy, that out of love for Christ we may wholeheartedly obey Christ and His Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fifth joyful mystery, the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple<\/p>\n\n\n\n After searching for Him for three days, Mary and Joseph find Jesus in the Temple<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit of the Mystery, Piety<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luke 2:41-52<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow His parents went to Jerusalem every year for the feast of Passover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, when he was twelve years old they went up according to custom (and also YHWH\u2019s instructions in the scriptures), and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, but supposing Him to be in the company, they went a days journey, and they sought Him among their kinfolk and acquaintances, and when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. After three days, they found Him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. And, when they saw Him they were astonished and His Mother said unto Him, \u201cSon, why have You treated us so? Behold, Your father and I have been looking anxiously.\u201d And, He said to them, \u201cHow is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father (YHWH\u2019s) house? And, they did not understand this saying He said to them. And, He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He was obedient to them. And, His mother kept all these things in her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord (YHWH) is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, whom you found in the temple. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the people praying with them say the concluding prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pray for us Mary, cause of our joy, that we may will to seek, find and embrace and respect the body and blood of Jesus in the Mass available to us Eternally in the Mass and sacraments and in His indwelling Holy Spirit and Eternally and daily alive to us through discussions in Churchs and synagogues and Temples and with others through individual contemplative mental and vocal prayer when we are alone with God by ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4th day of the weekly count, 11th day of the omer Tuesday April 30<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woke up early, last night in the hotel Covo de Saraceno, Had breakfast sitting by the big picture window looking out into the Adriatic Sea from the breakfast room on the bottom floor of the hotel. Looking out into the ocean from the Cliffside here its seems like you are looking out into eternity, into an eternal ocean of absolute consciousness and the 4\u2019 to 5\u2019 blue waves sashaying against the limestone rock, and the golden rising Sun shining a path from it on the natural horizon toward your viewing point, standing on the shore, or sitting in the hotel breakfast room. The waves sashaying into these naturally formed cliffs which the hotel was built into, the blue, gray and white horizontal clouds spread out, broken, layered, then the clear, blue, yonder above that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My father Gordon Harrell appeared to me in a dream for the first time since he died December 28, 1991. My father appeared to me in a dream the night after visiting those bones of the monks of the order of St. Andrew, at the bottom of the stone cave house in Matera, where household scenes of the movie \u201cThe Passion of Christ was filmed.\u201d My father who gave me the name \u201cAndrew\u201d so I would be aware of my wonderlful Scottish Heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where are the bones of St. Andrew? Well I would say the bones of these monks who brought his bones from the main bishopric seat in the Eastern Christian Church in Constantinople to Italy after the crusades are pretty close to being his. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to understand where the bones of St. Andrew are perhaps we should understand how Jesus Christ described the soul of St. Andrew as a \u201cseed\u201d that has fallen to the ground. What is the ground that it has fallen into? It is what Hindu\u2019s call the Brahmin reality, the four-fold ground of Truth, represented by the four letter Name of God YHWH, dwelling in us all as four-fold absolute Eternal consciousness and Divine Truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t have the \u201cbones\u201d of Jesus Christ for He has been resurrected to glory so His Holy Spirit, along with the absolute eternal consciousness of His Father, Our Creator, His Co-Creator in Heaven and Heaven on Earth can help us. In order to do this He had to leave them behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, we have some of the bones of \u201cA Man of God\u201d Andrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is who he was and is and will be, a \u201cseed of himself, a Man of God, which his name means in Greek\u201d, \u201ca seed of a seed of Himself\u2019. Or, perhaps like a seed of an oyster that grows inside of a sea shell collecting nourishment from the ocean of absolute consciousness as it irritates the shell it lives it, the shell and the sea that is the sea they both dwells. ..Perhaps, a seed, like a precious pearl at the bottom of the ocean of God\u2019s Divine absolute consciousness dwelling as a Holy Spirit within our own human hearts. Within God\u2019s Divinity hidden in own human hearts inside of all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His bones are some of the most precious relics we have in the Christian Church. He is considered the founder of the bishopric of Constantinole in the Eastern Orthodox Church and his brother Peter is considered the founder of the Western Catholic Church in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an ecumenical gesture of good will in 1966 Pope Paul VI had the parts of his bones in the front of his skuil removed from their place in his Cathedral in Amalfi and returned to Constantinople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My father, reminds me of Saint Jacob, he was a bodyguard for a time to President Eisenhower in World II, who also reminds me of Saint Jacob, as does my blessed uncle William Franklin Calohan. He, My Father Gordon Harrell, was the Grandson of the World President of the Baptist Evangelical Society of London England and Boston, MA in the early 1900s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Having lived in China in the 1930s and 1940s, he also knew George Bush senior, having helped him I believe when he was in China. It would have been interesting to talk to him, for my mother took me away from him in New York City when we moved to Vicksburg and she divorced him. After I finally tracked down some of his friends in Houston, TX after he died, they told me he told them very clearly that he was an agnostic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I remember him appearing to me in a dream in December 1991. His friends told me that he had died there after a recurrence of skin cancer metastasized to the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Wilson my friend in Vicksburg says skin cancer does not metastasize this way, but that\u2019s what they told me MB Anderson had said to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat are nine words in your heart in order to die smart and have birth and rebirth?…He said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBe good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBe true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBe new\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBe you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5th day of the weekly count, 12th day of the omer In the afternoon we visited one of the only remaining active Jewish synagogues in Southern Italy. It is the Synagogue Scolanova which occupies a small room as an annex to the Church of Sante Maria. As the young Catholic girl who was our guide was standing in front of the Ten Commandments in Hebrew I asked her if she could read the Hebrew words. She could not, so I started reading them, I only got as far as the first five before Tracy interrupted me and said, \u201cWe don\u2019t have time for this.\u201d It was very painful to me, not to be able to share this priceless understanding I have of how Christian and Jewish Biblical translations of these key passages in the Old Testament differ. So, I am including the translations here, along with some augmented commentaries posted in an early ourprayergroup.blogspot.com commentary of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure\u00a09\u00a0\u00a0The Stone Tables from the Synagogue Socolanova in seacost town of Trani\u00a0\u00a0in Southern Italy, containing the commands, for all time as Hebrew words, God gave the prophet and man of God, Moses, a few years and tears ago.\u00a0\u00a0Photo by Christie Hauck<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ten Commandments<\/strong> Wednesday May 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n Final day in Poignano a Mare<\/p>\n\n\n\n Signed up for a wondelful cooking class at a rural country villa<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Il Melogrno.

Check on their site after the first week of June 2019. It is entitled A History of Explorations and Settlements in the Southern United States 1680-1804 and is more comprehensive in terms of covering all the European as well as British and American explorers than other books on the subject I am aware of. And, it has a lot of hard learned details over 35 years of studying the subject, and being a military engineer officer explorer myself, during this period , developing new research and development tools for the US army and joint forces, to be able to plan and defend ourselves better, during this period. It details the chronology of the explorations, gives several historical summary overviews about the military political, religious, and scientific environment during those centuries of European exploration in the United States and explains some of the methods the different countries used to survey, draw maps, build forts, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure 12 Rear skull of St. Andrew<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friday May 31,2019 Friday, May 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n Took a tour bus from the hotel San Pietro in Naples down to Amalfi, visiting the Cathedral of Saint Andrew there, had a very nice lunch and boat ride in the cave hidden in a cove under the restaurant. Returned to Naples and then to Rome and Vicksburg, MS<\/p>\n\n\n\n Had a good discussion with a Dutch, formerly deaf man in the lobby of the hotel Rafaello in Rome, who reminded me of Swami VishnuDevananda\u2019s guru Swami Sivananda, perhaps the primary Hindu, Yogic, Vedantic, Saint there in India in during the last century<\/p>\n\n\n\n . He said he was raised in the Catholic Church in Holland and while deaf there taught himself to speak languages, English, Italian, by readying lips and signing. Now, he runs a meat packing business in downtown London and is also into hotel management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pope John Paul II had also prayed with him, I think, because he popped onto the World scene in the US in the late 1980s, when Martha Smock, my Mother Virginia Harrell, Vernon Padgett*, James Dillet Freeman, some of the Fillmore\u2019s and I were all praying together with Swami Vishnu and him, John Paul II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *5\/16\/2019 Just had a long phone conversation with Vernon\u2019s wife Anita, whom I had sent a 2019 prayer calendar to two months ago. Vernon and her were married and conceived a child Christopher while Vernon was staying in my home 555 Monet Dr. Rockville, MD part time in the 1980-81-82 time period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It seems Vernon got Colon cancer and died last year, after spending a few weeks in a hospice in Bethesda, MD. Anita, said his last wishes were to \u201cgo home\u201d, kind of unclear whether he meant heaven, heaven on earth, Rockville or Bethesda, MD or the cities he grew up in as a child or lived in while playing at Duke U. with an All-American football scholarship, before he and Anita met while they were both working at the Federal Trade Commission in downtown Washington, DC. He got pushed out of his job there in the 1970s and lived on the Streets, in his car, and in my house, for four or five years before they got married and moved into her Mother\u2019s house, now hers, in Bethesda,MD. Vernon got a job as an Army enlisted man working in the medical dispensary at West Point, after I moved him out from my house, then they married, After, that, he still had long term problems with bi-polar depression and de-focusing his whole life before the cancer happened. Anita fondly remembers there happy years of marriage together in Bethesda, MD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She agrees with me that he looks a lot like Jesus Christ. She says she told him that a lot. I remarked that I had alos told him he looked like Jesus Christ, and Abraham Lincoln, Saint Francis<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are both, and still are, contemplative prayer psychics, like I am He used to take her to lunch every day at different restaurants in Bethesda, getting her the best table and recommending food, they both like to cook. I have sent her certified mail a blank 50-year prayer book, with Vernon\u2019s ( a picture he sent me when they drove up the Natchez Trace in the mid-1990s, visited Vicksburg, and sent me a photo taken at the public library, mine. It also contains prayer images of some of our other ourprayergroup travel blog and long term prayer partner members, My mother, My Father, my great grandfather, Pope John Paul II., Saint Teresa of Calcutta<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figure 13 Statue of John Paul II that has popped up in front of the Rome Main Train Station where I was getting a train to go to Venice, after staying at the Leonardo Da Vinci hotel near the Vatican, or a five-day Eurorial 5-star hotel train pass for $555. It standing in Rome outside the walls of Vatican City is now in competition for admiration, love and devotion by the people with those other ancient statues of important historical people in this Eternal city, Julious Caseser, Augustus, Caseser, Roman and Greek gods and goddesses.. I was attending St. Raphael\u2019s Church in Rockville, MD at the time stome of my prayer letters and a Daily Word prayer magazine I sent to him. I also visited some of the areas of the Vatican Museum then, but the Sistine chapel was not open and being repaired. I believe Pope Benedict and Cardinal Giovanni Re was involved in the Vatican Secretariat of State then, and I was also praying with him It was 1983 or so. I got into a fairly heated discussion with the taxi driver who was going to charge me about 22,000 Lira for the trip, which seemed to high to me, until I realized the exchange rate, dollar to Lira was several thousand to one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back to the deaf man in the lobby of the Hotel Rafaello, who reminded me of Swami Sivananda. Swami Sivananda’s ashram in the Himalayas India is one of the main teaching facilities to learn Yoga and Contemplative prayer in the World. They publish a large number of books on the subject and how it relates to Hatha Yoga, Indian Philosophy. I would recommend them if you are interested in studying all the different aspects of yoga as it relates to all the main World’s religions. This little known occupation of a life devoted to Yogic contemplation of God’s Holy Spirit in us is much needed nowadays for the development of our future religious prayer Saints of the next millennium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He, the Dutch man, told me his favorite philosopher is Marcus Aurelius, the former Roman Emperor and Greek Stoic philosopher. This philosophy and its metaphysics and epistemology is very similar to the Hindu Vedantic, \u201cSat, Chid, Ananda\u201d\u2026\u201d\u201dExistence, Consciousness, Bliss\u201d philosophy which emphasizes a lot of contemplative thinking and renunciation of desires about things happening the way you want in the world through calm, peaceful, present moment meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Christian, Jewish, Jewish, Christian metaphysics, theory of Biblical Old and New Testament prophecy and philosophy, believes in trying, with primarily asking for God\u2019s help first, and trying to keep on improving and changing the world for the better, until we can bring heaven down to earth a lot more ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n I would argue that after 2000 years of comparing and thinking about these two philosophies of religion, that our Christian Jewish way of Biblical thinking is more dominant at the present throughout the world. But, that\u2019s just my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Marcus Aurelius approach to religion in which he believe in many different God\u2019s, not necessarily anyone in particular and does not claim his soul has eternal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Has, nevertheless lasted, along with his soul, for two-thousand years and is definitely worth studying in order to understand its difference from ours and how knowing both approaches can help us understand God and ourselves and our eternal souls better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a YHWH NAME OF GOD DISSOLUTION AND RECREATION OF THE WORLD MANTRA WHICH YOU CAN USE ALONG WITH THE PRIMARY CREATION OF THE WORLD BIBLICAL NAME OF GOD ELOHM., IF YOU WANT TO PRACTICE \u201cLAYA\u201d of DISSOLUTION AND RECREATION OF THE WORLD THROUGH CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER.

Chesed
Loving kindness seeks more to give
than receive. (It is beautiful)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n( starting with the second day of Pesach and continuing 49 days until
\nShavuot). This prayer which is said along with the Omer count after Pesach
\n(and on other Holy days) is sometimes called the 42-letter name of God by
\nOrthodox Jews. It is hidden inside of thousand of pages of prayers in
\nseveral dozen of volumes. However, since we believe that you cannot
\ncopyright the name of God , it is included here translated:
\n“We beg you? With the strength of your right hand’s greatness, untie the
\nbundled sins. Accept the joyful prayers of your people, purify us with your
\nawesomeness oneness. Please strong One, guard those who encourage your
\nuniqueness. Bless them, purify them, show them pity, may your righteousness
\nalways recompense them. Powerful Holy One, with your plentiful goodness
\nguide us. One and only Exalted One, depend on your nation, which speaks
\nabout Your holiness. Accept our prayers, knower of mysteries. Blessed is the
\nName of His glorious Kingdom forever.”
\nAnd, just for good measure and the benefit of all of us \u2026here is an
\nadditional , even more ancient transliterated prayer, associated with what
\nis called the 11-letter (11 Hebrew letters that is) name of God, that
\naccording to the Torah, the prophet Moses said to ask God for his sister
\nMiriam’s healing. ” Ayl Na Raphaa\u2026 Na Lah.” It can be translated
\nas, “Please Lord\u2026please heal her.” Please heal the spirit of our lady (the
\nShekinah, whose body is the Church of all believers) our divine companion
\nwhose spirit is surrounded by the souls of four archangels. It comes from
\nsome of the first Torah portions in the book of Numbers. Traditionally it is
\nread and prayed as a community in the congregations the 1st Sabbath after
\nShavuous.
\nSometime later after Moses healed Miriam with this prayer, God’s Spirit in
\nMoses descended on the prophet Elijah, a Man of God, (the word of the LORD
\ncame unto him) and he obeyed it in order to heal a widow who feed him and
\nwith whom he sojourned. Then, with God’s help, he blessed\u2026resurrected,
\nrevived and brought back the soul and spirit and body of her Son to
\nher. “By this she knew that he was a Man of God and that the word of the
\nLORD in his mouth was truth.”
\n1 Kings 17:8-16(17-24).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once there were two neighbors who were both amateur runners. Each day of their life, for as long as they could remember they met out on the local track and ran laps. One day one of the two men decided he wanted to improve himself so he hired a professional coach without telling the other. And, he practiced extra hours by himself. Then, each day, he would run more laps than the other. And, so each time they raced in public he would win. And, because he had practiced longer he felt he deserved this. He wondered why his neighbor didn’t care that he got the best of him each day. Then, the two men died and they each went to heaven. And, it turned out there was a prize in heaven that went to whoever had been the best runner on earth. These two men were the only two contestants left, because all of the professional runners had not lived as long as they. Nor, had the professionals run as long as these two amateurs. And, the neighbor who always won the races on earth was certain that he would get the prize… a crown of glory. But, the angels deliberated a while and they gave the prize to the other neighbor who always lost. And, the neighbor who won the most on earth asked the heavenly judges why they gave the crown for being the best runner to his neighbor. “Each day I ran more laps than him”, he said, “and each time we raced in public I won.” And the angels said, “You are right you ran the most laps. But, that is not how we count the score. We count the total number of days each runner showed up to run along side with the other. And, there was one day your neighbor came by and asked you to run with him, but you let him go by himself, without help. You reasoned that he needed the extra practice so he could run as fast as you. But, that is the day that he outscored you.” So, all the angels bowed down and gave the crown of eternal glory to the one man [or woman] who was always there to run along side with his [or her] brother. [for, in heaven, it is as Jesus Christ has said in John 18:33-37]And, the most glorious part of this prize that they gave was that his [or her] soul went on running inside of others throughout all of time– the past, the present, and the future. So, may things always be for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A DRILL IN THE SILENCE
BY JAMES D. FREEMAN
There is a place to which you can turn for rest and release from fear and care.
It is a holy place. Stillness fills it. The peace of God is in it. There your mind becomes like a little child\u2019s,
lovely and true and pure. There your thought is stayed on the things that are good and just and merciful.
When you enter, the world outside and all your troubles drop away and you rise at last, body stilled,
mind stilled, refreshed, and restored .[1]
This place is neither far away nor difficult to enter. It is right where you are now. It is right where you are
whenever you shut the doors of the senses[2] , still the importuning of little thoughts, and go along with
God. It is the place of the silence.
It is not hard to enter the place of the silence. If it seems hard to you, perhaps you have been making it
hard. You cannot fight your way through to God. Weeping and pleading are futile. You must let go and
let God.
Some people link the silence with occultism and look for fantastic psychic experiences from it. The
purpose of the silence, however, is not to have visions or see colored lights. Such fantasia serves only
to distract the individual from the true purpose of the silence, which is communion with God.[3]
[1]If you do this practice right it should take some time, sanctifying the Name of God, 5 minutes,
mindful breathing 5 minutes, relaxation 5 minutes at least, meditations and affirmations to know God 15
minutes, after you learn how to do it you may want to do it for at least an hour a day, early in the
morning is the best time, but you will probably want to do it at many different times all though the day.
[2] But, not the doors of your heart, for God has placed an open door there, that can not be shut. Cf.
Book of Revelations. And, if you cannot find God there, you cannot find him at all. But, if you can find
there you can find him anywhere.
[3] This is a good time to practice mindful awareness of breathing for about 5 minutes.
Breathing in I know I am breathing in, breathing out I know I am breathing out, breathing in I am calm,
breathing out I am at ease, present moment wondelful as the Rev. Thay has taught.
On the other hand, the silence is not a state of daydreaming or sleep. If you feel sleepy do not try to
pray unless you first waken yourself by saying \u201cAwake thou that sleepest\u201d. The silence demands such
wakefulness as is required at no other time. It is your appointment with God .
In practicing the silence you should always try to be relaxed in body and receptive in mind.
\u201cUnderneath are the everlasting arms of god\u201d (Deut. 33:27) . Say this quietly. Feel the presence of God
freeing you from every thought of tension. Let your whole body, every nerve, every muscle, every cell,
relax and let go. Whenever you feel any tension, relax and let go. If you feel tense across your forehead
say \u201cRelax and let go\u201d. If your eyes feel strained, say : \u201cRelax and let go\u201d. If you are tense in any part of
your body, say : \u201cRelax and let go\u201d, until from the top of your head to the soles of your feet you are
perfectly relaxed. This concludes the first step in the drill [4]
Be still and know that I AM God, Say this silently. Repeat it over and over until the words take on new
meaning, a living meaning, and you feel the still-ness deep down inside , with your whole mind, your
whole being. This is the second step in the practice of the silence, and it is perhaps the most important
of all. In the stillness you unify yourself with God, when the thoughts and feelings are quieted and the
doors of the senses are shut. Not through our human powers and understandings, do we attain our
good, but by letting go of doubts, limiting personal claims and turning to God.
[5] This is the point in your practice that you should affirm,, \u201cWhen God is One, His Truth is One.\u201d
YHWH CHRIST
Turn your attention now to the top of your head and say, silently or aloud. \u201cI am the light of the world.\u201d
By the practice of the silence you will find it wise to use afirmations, for they will help you direct and
control your thoughts. But there is a surer speech than that of syllables, a higher communion than that
of words. God hear your inmost thoughts. You faith and love speak to you. Your faith and love unity you
with God. Make your mind God\u2019s mind, your body God\u2019s body, your spirit God\u2019s spirit, you life God\u2019s life,
your will God\u2019s will.
You do not have to cajole or coerce God; divine love has already encomposed the fulfillment of your
needs. Your prayers have only to change you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 12 Finally centering your thoughts in the feet and legs affirm, “I walk
in the paths of righteousness and peace.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During today our group travelled to explore the historic seaport of Trani, know for its Moscato di Trani wine and savory figs, this historic town is home to a 13th<\/sup>-century fort and a cathedral nestled in the harbor of the Adriatic. This village\u2019s white limestone cathedral was dedicated to Saint Nicolas the Pligrm. Take note of the distinguishing Norman houses a typically English Romaesque style of architecture. Medieval Trani also had one of the largest Jewish populations in southern Italy and was a Knight\u2019s Templar site.

1st and 6th
\u201cI am the Lord thy God who brought you out of the land of Egypt\u201d \u201cYou shall not murder\u201d
\u201cA..nokay Adonai Elohehyach hotzaytayach mayehrehtz maytz\u2019ryeem\u201d \u201cLo teer\u2019tzach\u201d <\/strong>
These two commandments are interconnected on the heavenly level. That is, not to acknowledge that \u201cI am who I am\u201d, (that is, that God is who he is\u2026God is that which is God and yes he is himself or herself) is to kill God metaphysically inside of all of us. This is the fundamental cause of the destruction of our shared divinity with him or her inside of us. On the earthly human level, after it occurs collectively in the heavenly realm, it then translates into the individual and more easily perceivable human level of killing each other.
2nd and 7th \u201cYou shall have no other gods in my presence\u201d \u201cYou shall not commit adultery\u201d
\u201cLo yeeh\u2019yeh lach elohaym a\u2019chayrm al phanay\u201d \u201cLo teen\u2019ach\u201d<\/strong>
A similar order of ethical destruction occurs here when these commandments are not followed. For, when our faith wanders so can the good from us\u2026that God has prepared and planned for us.
Some beliefs which both Christians and Jews can share<\/strong>
We believe in a God who exists everywhere through his own nature and being.
We believe in God our Father more than we believe in any arrangement of his or her
archangels and angels…we believe in God the Holy Spirit more than we believe in any arrangement of Spirit and Truth ( of any arrangement of Boddhisattvas… that is, human knowers of human knowing or knowledge) inside of us.
We believe in him more than any belief in the inerrancy of scriptures that might be written by us to help us understand him or her or the infallibility of any leader anointed by us to represent him or her. (But, we do give honor to and respect the individual dignity of all these representatives of God in us and all these scriptures which are inspired with the Spirit of his and her Truth.)
We believe in a God whose Son is rational and who is in his or her Son and whose Son is in him or her.
We believe in a Holy Spirit in whom there is the Father and the Son… and a Father and the Son in whom there is the Holy Spirit.
We believe in a God who believes in us and the sanctity of our souls and spirits (our names) in him as much as we believe in him and the sanctity of his or her name in us.
3rd and 8th \u201cYou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in a vain oath.\u201d \u201cYou shall not steal (kidnap)\u201d
\u201cLo teesha et shaym Adonai Elohehyach lashv\u2019\u201d \u201cLo teeg\u2019nov\u201d<\/strong>
All things come to those who keep faith with God\u2019s divine plan and order and trust, honor, praise and remain in him. But, those that grasp after their good and try to lay hold of it illegally before its ready to be given to us will never find it. Note: the literal translation of the Hebrew word teeg\u2019nov is kidnap
And, here also:
4th and 9th \u201cRemember the Sabbath day in order to sanctify it.\u201d \u201cYou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.\u201d
\u201cZachor et yom hashavat l\u2019kad\u2019shu shaysheht\u201d \u201cLo ta\u2019nehh bh\u2019rayach ayd shakehr\u201d<\/strong>
To rest in the Lord is to learn how to remember how what he has already given us in the past must always be the foundation of the best of what the future (in the present moment then) can hold for us. Note: the Torah does not say here remember the Sabbath day because God has sanctified it\u2026but \u201cremember it in order that we may sanctify it (inside and outside of us). Considering how much good God has already given to us, why then do we need to try and takes someone else\u2019s away from them.
5th and 10th \u201cHonor your father and your mother.\u201d \u201cYou shall not covet your neighbor\u2019s house, his wife, his servants, his ox, his ass, nor anything that belongs to him\u201d
\u201c Ckaybayr et abayrach v\u2019et eemehach.\u201d \u201cL\u2019o tayh\u2019mad bhayt rayehach l\u2019o tayh\u2019mad asheht rayehach v\u2019aymatu v\u2019shoru v\u2019chmru v\u2019chol \u2018shehr l\u2019rayehach.\u201d<\/strong>
For men and women of God to honor their father and our mother is to honor God in them (us), for without our fathers and mothers we would not have been created with God\u2019s help on this earth. Even the angels sometime envy those souls who are living today in human bodies. But, for them to do this does not honor their spiritual God who created them. A wife (or a husband) along with children and the blessings they bring are certainly some of the most precious things we can have\u2026But, so too, even more so, is our relationship with God and the limitlessness of our faith in the timeliness and sufficiency of his providence for us.

****This commandment is sometimes stated as \u201cYou shall have no other God beside me\u201d. Also, some Jews have said that because of this commandment it is impossible for Jews to practice or believe in Christianity. I do not agree with this. God is One. This is certainly true. But, when we say this if we mean to say that God being One himself, he is not also One with his Only Son Jesus\u2026then God, the moment we say this, becomes no longer just One himself\u2026but much more (another, also, two in fact). Jesus Christ has said that the time will come when we, his students, will worship God together with him in Spirit and in Truth. To worship God as One is to worship him in Spirit. To worship God as Truth is to worship him as a correspondence between what is and what is. When many more Jews and Christians come to realize this then the abode of God will be with men here on earth [Rev. 21:3-4, Ezekiel 37:27, Isa. 25:8;35:10] and he will live among them as truth to and from truth and they shall be his people dwelling in his Holy Spirit receiving from and giving to each other as to and from his love.

Joseph to his brother, story in the Torah
*An idea is a representation in our minds of a thought. A concept can be
distinguished from a perception in that it has a likeness class (that is
likeness or non-visual intellectual thought as opposed to an image or
perception). Concepts themselves have likeness classes. Therefore a great
idea is a synonym for a likeness class of a concept.
** Being divine, this correspondence can only take place inside of a field
of being which has its existence as a part of God\u2019s name. Furthermore, in

can supply us with the rest of the riches of the glories in Christ he has
prepared for us through the divine order of his providence and the hidden
protections that the small, but important, parts of each of us play in his
great plans for all of us (the contributions of each of us being tied

What does it mean to be a “real Jew”? According to many Jews it means to
have a Jewish mother and to meditate on the Hebrew Letters in the Torah,
by use of whichGod created the Universe.
According to Saint Paul, Romans 2:28-29 “For the real Jew is not
the person who is one outwardly<\/strong>, nor is circumision that
which outwardly evident in the flesh. But, the real Jew is one who is
so in secret,and real circumcision is one which is of the heart, wrougth
by the Spirit, and not the letter<\/strong>, and the communications
such a person receives comes not from human beings, but from God.”
Thus, in this famous passage St. Paul has redefined what it means to
meditate on God inwardly (ie, one doesn’t receive the revelation from
the Torah by mediating on the Hebrew letters of the Kabbalah, but from
meditating on love and truth within the human heart.
I believe God allows St. Paul’s definition of what a Jew is to be truthfu.
But I also believe that there is not just definition of what a Jew is (just
like there
is not just one definition of what a Chrsitian is. Therefore, I do not
consider
the Jewish Sabbath to be “outdated” as most Christians do. But, I have
received
much benefit from practicing the Jewish Law as a Christian and I think many
other Christians can also receive these benefits.
So, below the Biblical teachings refer to the original Hebrew letters,assuming
this will provide us with wisdom, undrstanding,blessing just as the later
Christian\/Greek translation can.

According to the Kabbalah (Zohar) taking both of these blessings\/corrections
together we have the mysterious 22 letter form of the name of God.
The order of the meditations and comtemplations contained in this name comes
from the Aaronic Priestly benediction given in the book of numbers as
explained (only partially) in the Zohar passage corresponding to the Torah
reading of Naso. It is a threefold-contemplation of the passage of God\u2019s
grace three times from the heavens downward to earth. Each passage
corresponding to one of the three sections in the blessing as the name of God
YHWH is written and directed through 22 letters (the mystery is what are
these 22 letters?) that are referred to in the Torah passage. The
word \u201cletters\u201d when it is mentioned in Jewish writings usually refers to the
22 consonants, not the vowels, in the Hebrew language. So, I assume what we
are to think about as placed inside our fingers are 22 consonants that are
contained in this passage. There are twelve consonants corresponding to the 3
times the name of God YHWH occurs in the passage so that , just as we have
ten fingers on our two hands, the passage means that we being men of God are
to look for ten other consonants that these twelve consonants which refer to
God, refer to in the passage. We see that the occurances of the consonants
aleph, vav and yod (which are important in Old Testament Kabbalistic
interpretation\u2026 the aleph being important as representing a beginning in an
end\u2026a letter which contains the vav and yod inside of inside and generates
recursively a tree of meaning. yod being important as representing the ten-
fold subjective heavenly form of biblical realization of truth or reality in
the objective world we live in, and the vav being important as representing
the six-fold throne or Son of God inside of the lower earthly realms and also
being capable of recursively and mathematically generating itself fruitfully
as a metaphysical comptemplation of itself*) count up to ten (three in the
first verse, four in the second, and three in the third verse). So, for
myself this is how I interpret these teachings.
Another possible approach to understanding what the mysterious 22-letter name
of God inside of the priestly blessing means which also follow the above
interpretation about the point of the 12 consonants of YHWH is to take these
twelve consonants in the three verses as the root letters of the blessing and
then pair them up which each of the remaining consonants of the Hebrew
alphabet as they occur multiplying in the three verses. For example, we see
that the letter Beth, which is a mental House of God Consciousness, is
blessed one time in the first verse\u20261 (\u201cMay YHWH bless you\u201d). We see that
the letter aleph, which represents \u2026as mentioned above, an end in a beginning
and a beginning in an end, is blessed by YHWH twice in the second verse (\u201cMay
YHWH illuminate His countenance toward you\u201d and \u201cMay YHWH endow you with
grace\u201d) and and twice in the third verse 1+4 (\u201cMay YHWH lift His countenance
to you and establish Peace for you.\u201d). We see that the letter Koh, which
represents God grace reaching out through us through His hand inside of us
being blessed by YHWH one time in the first verse (\u201cMay YHWH bless you.\u201d)
1+4+1 . We see that the letter nun, which represents faith, is blessed by
YHWH twice in the second verse (\u201cMay YHWH illuminate His countenance upon you
and endow you with grace.\u201d). 1+4+1+2..We see that the letter Peh, which
represents the breath of God blessing us as we speak His words that He wants
us to speak to others through our mouths being blessed by YHWH one time in
the second verse (\u201cMay YHWH illuminate His countenance upon you\u201d) and one
time in the third verse (\u201cMay YHWH lift His countenance to you\u201d).
1+1+4+2+2=10 And, we see that one can contemplate the consonant Shin as being
blessed metaphysically and in multiple dimensions by the consonants YHWH.
This happens one time in the first verse (\u201cMay He guard you\u201d) and also three
times in the third (May He support His Truth in you and place\u2026put\u2026His peace
inside of you\u201d) 4. We see that the letter Resh, which represents in both
Sanskrit and Hebrew eternal completion of Truth is blessed by YHWH twice in
the first verse (\u201cMay YHWH bless you and keep you\u2019) , and once in the second
verse (\u201cMay YHWH illuminate His countenance toward you and endow you with
grace\u201d) 4+3 We see the letter watery consonant Mem representing Moses
himself (remember to think about it as a mathematical recursive function)
is blessed by YHWH once in the first verse (\u201cMay YHWH guard you.\u201d), twice in
the third verse (\u201cMay YHWH establish Peace inside of you\u201d) 4+3+3 And,
finally, we see the letter lamech which represents the tantric fullness of
God\u2019s world of creation placed inside of His heavenly earth dwelling at the
root of His spiritual body in us occurs three times in the last verse (\u201cMay
YHWH lift His countenance to you and establish Peace inside of you\u201d
4+3+3+3=13 the number of attributes of God,meditated in the Biblical prayer
verses given above, which we can know.
And, finally we have the initial consonant letter hyat which occurs once in
the second verse (\u201cMay YHWH illumnate His countenance to you and endow you
with grace\u201d) and the final consonant letter Khaf=500 which is the completion
and contains within itself divine life Heh=5, divine faith nun=50
500+50+5=555 and represents the mystical formation of the priests two hands
held upperward and directing divine light as a sword of Truth spiritually in
us and God\u2019s world\u2019s of creation occurring in the present moment around us
both inwardly and outwardly as the total process of mental contemplation,
breathing, movement of the body carefully and mindfully places the blessing
inside of us eternally and temporally. Each hand of the priest is composed of
five fingers which help separate mentally the five metaphysical realms of
tantric creation. The letter Khaf occurs, significantly six times\u2026 twice in
the first verse (\u201cMay YHWH bless you and guard you\u201d), twice in the second
verse (\u201cMay YHWH illuminate His countenance to you and endow you with
grace\u201d), and twice in the third verse (\u201cMay YHWH lift His countenance to you
and establish Peace inside of you\u201d 1+2+2+2=7
So, considering the 12 consonant letters of YHWH occurring in this blessing
and the 30 consonant letters which YHWH blesses we have a total of 42
blessing letters in the 42 letter blessing of the name of God in the Bible
verses above. Thus, combining these thoughts with those from the ana b\u2019korach
prayer in this Shavuous omer count, this meditation is a new unification of
the 22 letter name of God with the 42 letter name of God. May it help both
Christians to understand Messianic Judaism and Messianic Jews to understand
Christianity.
In the Naso chapter of the Zohar which explains how the three-fold in three-
fold Aaronic priestly benediction is to be meditated on using YHWH the four-
letter name of God there is also the explanation of how the name of God YHWH
with the vowels of a..o…ai (Adonai which is written as Yod Yod\u2026reality
inside of reality in the Amidah prayerbooks is to be contemplated:
One considers the four-letter name of God YHWH with the vowels and consonants
Yud-Vav-Dalet, Hei-Yud, Vav-Aleph-Vav,Hei-Yud while saying and contemplating
the first verse (May YHWH bless you and keep you). The thought process here
is held in the spiritual body of the priest in the right shoulder region
(compassionate side of the mercy of God) aligned to the right of the third
Yogic throat chakra center. Then, contemplating the second verse (May YHWH
illuminate his countenance toward you and endow you with grace) one
contemplates the name of God YHWH as being Eheyeh, Eheyeh, Eheyeh (I AM who I
AM, I will be who I AM, I AM that I AM)\u2026this the redemptive part of the
righteousness of God expressing itself as its Holy Spirit of Truth manifests
inside and around the spiritual body of the believer passing before us all as
a second redemptive time around the throne of God (the second coming of
Christ), Then, contemplating the third verse one gazes downward toward the
4th Yogic heart chakra (collective realm of God\u2019s Truth inside the priest\u2019s
spiritual body) and mentally pronounces and meditates on the name of God YHWH
with the vowels and consonants Yud-Vav-Dalet,Hei-Aleph,Vav-Aleph-Vav,Hei-
Aleph. The uniting of the name of God expressed in the first and third verse
(May YHWH lift His countenance to you and establish Peace inside of you)
through it being expressed inside of real person in the second verse is the
how the name of God Adonai participates in the blessing of Aaronic priestly
benediction.
In orthodox Judaism, these blessings also are given by the Aaronic priest
during the Tashlich service which occurs before Rosh Hashanah every year. At
this time of the year, as we stand near a body of water to say them, the
emphasis is more on correction through the casting away of our sins instead
of the creation occurring during the festival of the \u201cend of the world\u201d
(tantric olam) and the laying out of the boundaries of the new one. This
festival of \u201cfirst fruits\u201dof new creation in Christ is mentioned both in the
Old and New Testaments as an important one.
For all those Christians and Jews who have understood the highest and best
teachings referred to above about the Aaronic blessing
Be still and know that: \u201cI AM He who is living, but was dead\u201d Book of
Revelations
welcome to our world of a new creation which is:
the concept of a concept:
An end (or purpose) inside of a beginning,
A beginning (or meaing of a purpose) inside of an end (or purpose).
\u201cAn end of the eternity (of the necessity of our future hope),
Which occurs in us at the end of our own faithful thoughts from a world of
desire in our past.\u201d
I AM He who is living, but was dead

Hebrew consonants as \u2018autiots\u201d when they occur in the first chapter of
Genesis.

St. Paul’s beautiful words, which teach us how to pray
for what God wants for all of us to have happen:
“For in this hope we were saved.
But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope.
For how can one hope for what he already sees?
But, if we hope for what is still unseen by us,
we wait for it with patience and compromise.
So, too the Holy Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up
in our weakness;
for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it
up worthily as we ought,
but the Spirit himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads
in our behalf with unspeakable yearning and groaning too deep
for utterances.
And, He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind
of the [Holy]Spirit [what his intent is],
because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf
of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will [Ps. 139:1,2]
Romans 8:24-26
“Moreover,[let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our
troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction
and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And, endurance
(fortitude) develops character [ approved faith and tried integrity]. And,
character produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope [of eternal
salvation]. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s
love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been
given to us.”

Statue of St. Andrew in the main square of Amalfi, Italy. He holds the record for staying on the cross for the longest of the Apostle’s, I believe…Two days, upside down, before he bleed out completely and died. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus only had to endure one day, Maundy Thursday, but probably was more painful to Him during that time. See the movie “The Passsion of Christ” by Mel Gibson, for more awful, beautiful, glorious details on this. Jesus of Nazareth’s death was more fixed in place, vertically and horizontally, while the wondelful Man of God I AM named for turned the wheel of Divine Truth in Christ more downward in us, as the Name of God fixed in the Holy Spirit of the Trinity saving and glorifying them both Jesus and His disciple Andrew, the first one He called to help him perhaps took on part of the burden of us being able to know it, Their two-fold realization of Our Father God, YHWH, YHWH YHWH growing downward in our ways of knowing that we don’t know, and hence God knows for us, that I AM and WE ARE.
