The Roman Circus and "The Secret"

The recent AP story concerning the book and the movie, "The Secret" is humorous at best and disturbing at worst. The following are a few highlights from the story reported by CNN News:

"CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- While "The Secret" has become a pop culture phenomenon, it also has drawn critics who are not quiet about labeling the movement a fad, embarrassingly materialistic or the latest example of an American propensity of wanting something for nothing.
Some medical professionals suggest it could even lead to a blame-the-victim mentality and actually be dangerous to those suffering from serious illness or mental disorders.

"It's a triumph of marketing and magic," said John Norcross, a psychologist and professor at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania…" 'The Secret' has earned my antipathy for its outrageous, unproven assertions that I believe go beyond the ordinary overpromises of most self-help books into a danger realm," he said. The book's mantra of "ask, believe, receive," he said, easily transforms into a blame the victim mentality."Cancer victims. Sexual assault victims. Holocaust victims. They're responsible?" Norcross said. "The book is riddled with these destructive falsehoods."

"The law of attraction says that like attracts like, and when you think and feel what you want to attract on the inside, the law will use people, circumstances and events to magnetize what you want to you, and magnetize you to it," Byrne said in an e-mail in response to several questions posed by The Associated Press.… the fear that "The Secret" will lead to a blame-the-victim mentality is a serious claim of critics.

Psychotherapist and lifestyle coach Stacy Kaiser said that after reading "The Secret," several patients have worried that it was their fault they were abused, or laid off from their jobs. Others seem to expect everything in their lives to change overnight, she said."

While there were some positive comments about "The Secret" in the article the overall tone was that people are being scammed. The use of such words as "dangerous, blame and outrageous" are used by those who have no real understanding of spiritual thought and I cannot help but wonder if they actually read the book. Is the book and movie perfect in their presentation? No. Are the claims dangerous? No

Let's postulate another scenario which few claim is dangerous or outrageous. A group come along and says that there is only one god and they have the inside track on the intentions and so called desires of that god. They say that if you do not worship their god, IT will condemn you forever in a fiery inferno. If you do worship this god and give it a lot of money and build temples for worship, it will forgive you your sins. Even though this god made you and is all knowing it has condemned you from the start and only proper worship and duty will save you-well, some of you-144,000 to be exact. This god loves you but says that you must live a life that does not include material wealth, which you should give to its temples. And, if you are really good, some of you will get to be happy forever, when you die. Oh, to test your loyalty, this god has created all kinds of demons and monsters that will tempt ant taunt you. Although it has also created some good spirits that will send you messages every now and then but, in the end, even they will unleash plague, pestilence, war and untold suffering. Basically, if you want to be rewarded when you die: lead a good life, obey all of the rules, live a life of misery, kill those who do not believe and maybe, you will be saved.

If you want to talk about creating a victim mentality it seems that most religions have already done that. You are born a sinner, you are entitled to a life of misery, you are worthless (but loved), and you are probably going to hell. And you wonder why our society is riddled with disease and the world is forever at war. Most established institutions always have a negative and even violent reaction when something threatens their established dogma. Books like "The Secret" offer a good life in the here and now and yet as a result of this idea, they must be based upon selfish, materialistic concepts? Such claims show a total lack of understanding regarding humanity's evolution and the dangers and threats posed by those organizations that are more concerned about their own survival and the status quo. The good thing is that all of these uninformed remarks only make the new ideas more popular. Remember what the Roman circus did for Christianity?

Cellular Activation

The core level where the physical, mental and spiritual meet is at the cellular and atomic level of the body. There is no actual separation between these three aspects of consciousness, it is simply limits on awareness which make it appear to be so. As awareness grows the blank areas of 'connectedness' or unity become apparent. Transcending illusion is very easy at the spiritual level of consciousness, it is the easiest level of awareness and knowledge. The mental and intellectual level is more challenging, but the most difficult is the physical layer. It is the training of this layer that offers the most potential for gaining powerful abilities within the astral and etheric realms and this is the reason why so many sentient beings have come to this planet.

At the physical level of the body spirituality is simply about bio-chemistry. This is how the physical and organic elements of this planet communicate with one another. Cellular activation requires that the chemicals of the body are trained to become an expanded sentience or consciousness. This process is best facilitated through the DNA. The DNA is like the master program of the physical body and it is through this program or blueprint that our ability to know true power and ability is activated.

Activating DNA strands from an 'inactive' state is difficult to do on oneself – or at least the process may take many years, if not a lifetime or more. The length of time depends on the programming and compartmentalizing that has taken place within the body. Furthermore, implants may be in place which continually sabotage the process. These programs and implants have been put in place by entities who feed off the struggles of sentient beings and so have a vested interest in keeping consciousness and empowerment limited and ignorant.

In spite of this, knowledge of DNA activation has been taught through the co-operation of astral guilds and higher planes masters. This training is taking place with the hope that those beings who are activated will realize their true calling and begin to support the path of illumination and ascendance for all beings on the planet.

Reiki Self Attunement is Best

The process of become a Reiki Master involves going through 4 different Reiki Levels. To move up a level requires you to be Reiki Attuned to the next Reiki Level.

Having done both in-person Reiki level attunements and much study about energy medicine, I can assure you that books are equally as powerful. In fact, Dr Usui who discovered Reiki Energy taught his students through books. The trick to making sure that you are getting as much out of the books is to really take the reading slow and with a meditative approach as opposed to the way you would read a novel or the newspaper.

A Reiki Self Attunement Class may be better than an in-person Reiki Attunement for a number of reasons:

1. Books allows a truly wonderful Master Reiki instructor to attune you when the Reiki instructor may otherwise be booked for months or be in a distant location: Books can get you a better attunement than just the "local" Reiki class.

2. You can attune yourself and get used to your own power from the get go: The most important part of Reiki attunement is firm belief and practice. I firmly believe that attuning yourself can help you to build both the belief in yourself and the perseverance to practice and develop your Reiki power.

3. You can go back over the course whenever you feel it necessary: Refresher anyone?

4. You get to join an online community of others who are learning Reiki right alongside you: A community of people is a resource that truly cannot be matched. You will stick with the practice longer if you have a group of people supporting you and that you support.

So be comfortable and have faith that Reiki Self Attunement is just as powerful and able to increase your Reiki power as any and all other methods.

Spirituality Information - Close Your Eyes As I Am About To

I love the words vision and division. It teaches you so much. One helps you see, the other helps you divide. Take your eyes for example. You can see the Sun,moon,people,all the objects of the external world through your eyes but these same eyes also stop you from experiencing the feeling of oneness between you and someone else. These eyes help you see the external world but they also stop you from entering into your internal world..... These eyes facilitate division as much as they grant you vision. Today, i have some interesting questions for you in this regard...

How many of you pray with your eyes wide open?

Very few right.

Why do you close your eyes while praying or meditating?

When you close your eyes you try to shut the doors of the external world temporarily and make an attempt to rise above your body and mind. All these might happen subconsciously but it gives you sufficient hint that you dont need your senses to experience the force of God.

You need your eyes to see the external world but to enter into your internal world you need to shut your eyes at least initially.... AS much as you allow your eyes to see the external world you have to train your eyes to also help you get into your internal world more frequently...The internal world can tell you exactly what you want and the external world can help you get all that you want... Unless you enter into your internal world you will never know what you want and you will always be unhappy no matter what you get...

Those beautiful eyes of yours have to learn to see both the external world and your internal world. If you see only the external world you would be watching only the second half of your lifes movie and your views would always be biased . You would be like a child who watches only the second half of the movie and who does not understand why the villain is trashed and beaten for no fault of his. You would have missed the first half of the movie where you see the villain committing all sorts of crimes and atrocities and how the hero of the movie is slowly but surely building his character ,shaping his ambitions and sacrificing his life for that one goal which beckons him.....

You have to train your eyes to see the invisible forces behind your actions as much as you see the visible ones...

Spiritual Manhood in America

What does it mean to be a man in America? The majority of Americans is Christian and believes in what they refer to as Biblical Manhood. However, the socio-cultural idea of manhood is exemplified by the cowboy (John Wayne) model of manhood. The idea that a man is supposed to rich, powerful, and influential has created another image of American Manhood. These men lean toward dominance, control and authority, and are considered very manly. If the man is a self made man, socially he gains even greater respect as a man. Of course, there are many definitions of Manhood in America. A prevalent idea about manhood, not only in America, but an almost universal idea of manhood is connected to make sexual performance.

The pressure of becoming a man is very strong on young males of other ethnic groups which do not have an abundance of male role models. They do not always see examples of Manhood in their communities, but they are indoctrinated with ideas about being a man.

They are taught:


• Men do not show their emotions.


• Men never-ever cry.


• Men can handle pain.


• A man must never-ever show fear.


• Men dominate their women.

One of my favorite authors, Iyanla Vanzant said that "Men need a cultural foundation that provides them with a standard of behavior and a philosophy by which they can govern their lives". I think what she is saying and I too believe that men need a greater understanding of spirituality and a mechanism through which spiritual principles can guide their lives. Men can get all the macho they want. Radio, television and news media all expend a lot of energy giving the public examples of the manly man. According to the media America is filled with male heroes who go out into the world and over come a variety of obstacles. He returns home only after gaining fame and fortune solely as a result of his wit and manly strength.

The Spanish has its Casanova. The Japanese have their Samurai Warrior. Europe and the West have the Great White Hunter. Again, America has no need for more macho. Not only have American men grow to identify and follow the concept of machismo. They have for the most part moved away from both religion and spirituality. Society has, and consequently the men, became so extremely individualist and materialistic nothing metaphysical fits into the Manhood profile(s). However, Manhood in America involves trials and test. Men must prove that they are men. This would not be necessary if men embrace the spiritual side of reality. Religion has helped some men learn to identify with "something" larger than themselves. Unfortunately, religion promises either salvation or damnation in the burning fires of hell. Neither of these choices will assist a man in becoming closer to the Creator.

It is up to each individual man to decide which path he will take in life. I only say that a much better life is one guided by spiritual principles and practices. To be a better man one must be a moral man. True morality results from a spiritual level of understanding. This understanding will also give men the ability to actualize self knowledge. The person and the self is not the same thing. Men must understand this. The Universal Force, some call God, gave everything in creation its own particular vibration rate. Very few people in America understand the significance of vibration rates. The importance of vibration rate for men is that understanding and experiencing vibrations in themselves and nature will bring closer to their higher power. In the Christian Bible, Jesus tells his follower to go to their closets and know the Father through silence.

Older generations intuitively knew hat nature has a rhythm (vibration). Remember when your grandmother sat on the porch and rocked in her rocking chair. Usually she was also humming. She somehow knew that getting in tune with nature's vibration would give her comfort like nothing else. Rocking and humming helped her create a positive rhythm within which she could live and move. It is my sincere hope that men can learn to experience the Universal Life Force through silence or through learning to rock and hum.

When Christians Die, Do They Instantly "Go To Be With The Lord?" - Part 2

So what are, and where will we find, the origins of this lie that Christians go straight to heaven to: "be with The Lord"? Right at the beginning, in Genesis, that's where. Where God says this in Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Then we have the Adversary's conversation with Eve and his answer in Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

Right, here we have a non-contest; God is saying that if they eat the fruit of the forbidden tree they will die. The Devil is saying the opposite, that they won't die so who do you believe; God or the Devil; The Truth or a lie? What mainstream Christians have to understand is, if they believe that at the point of their deaths, their consciousnesses instantaneously leave their bodies and float off to heaven to 'be with The Lord', they haven't died, they are still alive. One life has mutated without a break into another life. This means they believe that when we die, we don't die or haven't died and so, by default, they believe the same lie as Eve!

King Solomon, the wisest man, after The Lord Jesus Christ, who ever lived, said this: Eccl 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

I will now move on to New Testament Scriptures to support the Truth that Christians die and don't go instantly to: "be with The Lord"

1 Cor 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Here The Lord through Paul states quite clearly that if The Lord is not raised from the dead we are still in our sins. Verse18: Then they also which are fallen asleep (dead) in Christ are perished (dead forever). Now get this, and mark, learn and inwardly digest it. If The Lord Jesus Christ is not risen from the dead then those who have fallen asleep (died) as believers are perished - dead for all time! Now if we believe what mainstream Christians believe we are now in conflict with this Holy Scripture, 'cos they think dead believers are already resurrected and floating around in Heaven - alive!! Verse19: If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept (died). Here we have more evidence that The Lord Jesus Christ is the only person to-date (as He is the first of the firstfruits) to have been resurrected from the dead. Notice too that The Lord slept (died) as well, albeit for only three days and three nights. Again, if we believe what mainstream Christianity accepts blindly as truth, then that means we are to be treated in a better way than even The Lord Jesus Christ. He knew death and died but we, according to mainstream Christians, don't die or won't suffer the same experience. What makes us more special than The Lord Jesus Christ?

Verse 21: For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Notice, in verse 22 that all in Adam die, this means all those descended from Adam will die because of our fallen physical condition. Even though we are Born Again we still occupy decaying physical bodies which must die. Notice too, those in Christ shall be made alive, made alive from what - death of course? When will we be made alive; at the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth when He comes to take His Throne and His Crown as King of kings and Lord of lords?

Finally, I will rewrite 1 Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. The dead shall be raised incorruptible (Spirit Beings) at the sound of the last trumpet. (Brackets mine)

If these mainstream Christians are already alive floating around heaven, having gone, instantaneously, to: 'be with The Lord' at the point of their non-deaths, who are all these dead Christians mentioned in 1 Cor 15:52? I will tell you, they are The Elect, those chosen before the foundation of the earth - The Saints and they are the only Christians who will be with The Lord at His coming.

If there are any of you out there that believe this false notion of Christians going instantaneously to 'be with the Lord' when they die then you need a major rethink on this crucial topic. Hopefully, when you realise you have been conned on this topic it will open your eyes to all the other cons and errors the men of religion have taught you.
