This is a detail of the sword of St Michael that is part of the treasure of the Mont Saint Michel in France. It is the pommel of the sword that is depicted, which is extreme part below the hands. Wound anyone have more insights in the engravings of this gem?

Cheers

On October Tenth I was met by a angel of the Lord beneath and old oak tree in my backyard. He said to me his name was Tupsardu and I can only assume his appearance to me was a result of me praying for angelic intercession of knowledge on the true church. The following document contains all the information he has given to me as of now the most recent revelation being earlier today which I am still in the process of recording.

My path to the light has lured me into a rabbit hole on the roots of Abrahamic religions lately. And let me tell you, my brain is spinning. These massive belief systems that shape humanity as we speak, yet somehow, the connections between them are ignored or hidden. It doesn't take much to quickly realize that all of them actually contain esoteric, true teachings on enlightenment that are concealed in plain sight. Why? Power. Control. You know, “Let’s not let the peasants ask too many questions.”

The thing is, a lot of religious stories aren’t as original as we’ve been told. Take Jesus, for example, he’s strongly connected to the Sun, literally the big burning ball in the sky. It also turns out those epic tales in pagans traditions also overlap with Christian, Islamic, and Jewish teachings way more than anyone wants to admit. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Back in the day, people used myths and stars to make sense of life. But when Big Religion took over, they rewrote the script, hid the cosmic stuff, and said, “Just trust us.” True knowledge? Gone. Unless you're part of the "elite".

Religions should unite us, but instead, they’ve been weaponized to divide. If we actually understood the roots and common threads, imagine how differently we’d see the world, and each other.

Anyway, if this is making your head spin just as much, check out this video. It explains (better than me) how myths, religions, and cosmic symbolism are all connected, and honestly, It might just blow your mind.

Noah gets drunk, passes out naked and his son stumbles upon him. His son seems innocent of any wrong doing until Noah goes off on him and curses his son! There is nothing in the text to tell us what really happened! There are different theories but none align perfectly. What happened in that tent that Noah knew was done to him that the text doesn't reveal. I took this on like a case that a lawyer would take on. Its too long to post the whole thing here. But if you've ever read Genesis 9:20-27 and were left scratching your head and wondering wtf?? then read this for some insight on how to scholars have tried to piece this together with theology and linguistics.

So I've got a long story and I can give more details once people engage in a discussion with me. I want to ask that people keep an open mind - You cant remove my angel from my mind and most fellow christian approach to any of this is not to trust it but it is inherently a part of me and any grace and so forth I carry in my life.

To give a little detail that leads up to why I believe my angel may have planted a feather in my pocket... I saw a feather and felt a feather (or so I thought!)

I have been blessed with a spiritual lesson by Horus in years past to know how to meld my conscience will to the universal source as a way to overcome negative spiritual stimulation Ive dealt with over the years. The blessing came after a years worth of daily meditation to overcome psychic or spiritual damage that repeats and the lesson came in the form of a golden owl manifesting in my living room upon the metal gate of our fireplace and the story just grew deeper from there that whole night and things have progressed on our property since that night.

(sunlight and darkness are what I refer to as 'source'.)

When I was 17 I had several very significant dreams with religious implication and/or God figures in them within locations above the earth or unknown locations.

I share my Conscience with my Guardian Angel whom I call Yahweh Sophia.

I was having dark imaginings tonight. I had an energy draining my life force and feeding me lies with that drain and I made a conscious decision like I have many times to enter into a very dark room and become the darkness itself. This is a commonplace problem I face that Ive found solution to.

I intended to focus my will towards the source of this drain on my life force with willful intention that I was going to 1. Show it what it was causing me and 2. I had full intent to draw upon the forces around me to defend and force the source of this drain to let go in whatever way I could within that space. I call it my own foolishness that I would turn to violent imaginings to do so which may further explain the manifestation of my canines growing "activated" at certain times but I associate that particular matter with spider venom from a spider bite I had while sleeping from a spider native to Arkansas docks.

The spider in question has a large bulbous back with a muddy water look and they're real gnarly looking.

so back to the story regarding the intent in the dark

Instead of going full force at it with possible attack mentality I chose to move towards merciful thinking because I am in many peoples view as well as my own sense of preferred self - a pure human being who has always drawn and moved towards pure intentions and pure motivations and anything thats not considered pure under scrutiny has often been damaging for my body on a physical level to deal with or be around

I went to the source of my Angel who typically stays in the upper atmosphere or comes near to me

Behind my eyes in the dark I spoke to Yahweh Sophia and showed her my experience I was having and how I intended to put a stop to the obstruction of my energy and I asked for mercy for myself because of the dark imagining I was being drawn towards.

And wouldn't you know it - I reached in my pocket and found what I saw and felt was a small white feather while I was outside. It was about 11:20 at night. Full moon in the sky.

Well, Turns out it wasn't actually a feather even though I was so certain that it was. It was the string from the Hershey Kiss I ate earlier that night. This is how these things tend to happen with me.

Another example - I saw a phoenix that turned into a crow in my back yard in the spring of 2023. It was very pretty but not how they are often depicted. I can still see it in my mind right now.

I said or rather implied a lot here; that much I am aware of.

I'm just genuinely curious about people's insights and knowledge on these subjects and the general symbolism behind everything Ive said.

I always have unanswered questions but I know how to speak to Yahweh Sophia in the astral realm in the same manner that she speaks and I can directly communicate and hold conversation with her. When I wasn't able to do so it was oftentimes her repeating my inner monologue in her own voice with occasional input that was distinctly herself.

I am not concerned with the status of 'Is she good or bad' of that much I do not worry for.

** We could get philosophical about all that is said here.

** I desire real discussion based on native tradition, various mythologies; Buddhist doctrine and teachings are welcome and probably needed as well as any other esoteric knowledge, warnings, and so forth are all being asked for here in this discussion. I recognize this is my personal life I am opening up about. I do so often even though its not been suggested to be so actively open like this in my life.

The entire content of my post is true within my own life experience.

*I will not argue my life experience against someone else's opinion and I do so knowing that the fear of God is founded in feeling the wonder of being in awe of reality and life as a whole.

* Assume that I recognize the difference between physicality and non-physicality - Ive been at this life going on 3 decades while experiencing time for what feels like eternity.

Based on evidence I have gathered related to language, religion, archaeology, and yes some DNA testing I not only think its possible I am sure of it.

I have not actively been to a church in decades, but I have recently considered trying it again. A few years back, I felt called to work in a helping profession (currently in a graduate program for clinical mental health counseling). At first, I thought that was where my calling would end, but I'm starting to think it may be at least partly with a ministry (not sure if that's in a lay or ordained position just yet). I’m considering the Episcopal Church, mainly because they seem open to alternative Christian beliefs and Mysticism.

What are your thoughts on which, if any, churches are best for esoteric believers?

I believe the old testament was allegory and that Yeshua was divinity in the sense that he knew about God's unconditional love and wanted to tell us about it, but beyond that I'm not really sure what to believe because there's so many different ways scripture can be interpreted, and it's impossible to know which interpretations are correct.

But my understanding previously was that the ancients spoke in metaphor often and thought in symbolic terms rather than black and white like us, hence why the old testament seems to be allegory, but it seems Yeshua interpreted the scriptures literally, would that be fair to say? For example when he said John the Baptist was "the Elijah that was to come" I don't think he would say that about an alegorical figure, it wouldn't make sense.

So it seems Yeshua took the original stories literally, if that's the case then it seems he definitely was simply a man (a very good man and a very important man) but still a man. If he was quite literally the son of God then surely he wouldn't interpret the original stories (our old testament) as being literal when based on what we know they simply just cannot be true.

Whats your opinion on this please guys?

It’s been a while since I added a post to my blog. Here is a new one going to how we get rich and going beyond religion.

It seems weird to me to by anything spiritual on Amazon. I COULD buy it on Amazon, but how do I know which seller to trust for such an item?

Can anyone recommend a reputable place online to buy pure, authentic myrrh oil?

Sorry but I'm struggling to find anything in the OT that specifically states that hell is eternal damnation or eternal punishment, can anyone help me with some verses please? It seems to be very strong in the NT but not OT?

Hello everyone,

I would really like to hear the counter-arguments against this because every time I come back to it, I become more and more convinced that Yeshua and his disciples believed in reincarnation.

According to the Gospel of John 9:1–12, Jesus saw a man who had been blind since birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus replied: "Neither this man nor his parents sinned ... but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."

For his disciples to ask him whether his blindness was a result of his sin, this would suggest that they must have had a belief in reincarnation because if he had been blind since birth, the sin must have been committed before birth. This strongly implies a belief in reincarnation.

If they didn't have a belief in reincarnation then the question makes little-to-no sense. Why would they posit a question that implied a belief in reincarnation if they had no belief in it? It could be argued this would be like a group of atheists asking an atheist if a man was going to go to hell for murder, it doesn't seem to make sense.

What are your opinions on this please?

I went to a Christian primary school and we were always taught about the story where Jesus cures a blind man and makes him see, I’ve only just realised that the story may be analogical for healing a ‘blind man’ also referred to as an unaware man, and helping him see, as in helping him become aware. Has this ever been discussed?

Adapted by Mary Kretzmann, from the book, How to Meditate, by John Novak.

The history of the Jesus Prayer goes back to the Desert Fathers of the 3rd and 4th Centuries, who taught that repetition of the prayer leads to inner stillness.

Although simple to practice, this is one of the central and most important techniques of meditation. Watching the breath is extremely powerful because it works scientifically to calm our breath, mind, and life force. By concentrating intently on the breath and becoming a simple observer of the breathing process, you quickly calm the breath, redirect the flow of energy to the spiritual eye (or Christ center), and concentrate the mind.

The technique of watching the breath should be done immediately following the preparatory techniques, (tensing and relaxing and even count breathing), when you are already relaxed and focused.

Begin by exhaling completely. As the next breath flows in, mentally watch it as if you were observing the flow of a tide. Be very aware of the breath, but make no attempt to control it in any way. Simply observe its natural flow. Try to feel the breath as it passes in and out of the nostrils. If you are unable to feel the breath in the nostrils, focus for a short time on the breathing process itself, the movement of the chest and lungs, and then transfer your awareness back to the breath in the nostrils.

To help deepen your concentration, mentally repeat a simple word formula such as “Amen” in tandem with the breath. As you inhale silently say “A,” and as you exhale silently repeat “men.” Or you could say “I am” while inhaling and “He” while exhaling. Or, say “Jesus” for the incoming breath, and “Christ” for the outgoing. Or even more simply, “Je-sus.”

And, one can also do it like this:

Inhalation: “Lord Jesus Christ”

Exhalation: “Have mercy on me”

All of these help contribute to training the mind to “pray unceasingly.”

In India “hong” is silently repeated with the incoming breath, and “sau” with the exhalation. This is a special “mantra” or word formula that is especially effective in calming the flow of energy in the spine.

It is also helpful to move the index finger of the right hand slightly toward the palm on the inhalation and slightly away on the exhalation.

If the mind wanders, immediately bring it back to concentrating on the technique.

As the breath becomes calmer, gradually become aware of it as it passes higher and higher in the nostrils until you are feeling it high up in the nasal cavity. Now you can transfer your point of concentration from the breath to the point between the eyebrows. Continue to mentally observe the breath, and to silently chant your word formula, still making no effort to control either the rhythm or depth of your breathing. The key to success with this technique is to deepen your concentration at the spiritual eye until you no longer think of anything except the rhythmic flow of the breath. As the mind becomes very focused and calm you will find your need for breath diminishing. Enjoy the spaces between breaths, keeping your mind very still and allowing the pauses to lengthen naturally. A cycle of increasing interiorization is set into motion through this technique. As the breath (and the flow of life-force) begins to calm down, the mind is naturally able to concentrate more deeply. Deeper concentration brings about an even greater calming of the breath, allowing yet deeper focusing of the mind, and so on. The final stage of this cycle is the complete withdrawal of life current from the body and senses and the total concentration of the mind. “I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.” 1 Corinthians 15:31

As the energy becomes completely focused at the spiritual eye, the body’s need for oxygen ceases and the breath stops. At first this may be a somewhat odd, and even frightening experience, but it is the doorway to the deepest states of meditation.

End your practice of this technique by taking a deep breath and exhaling three times. Then concentrate very deeply at the spiritual eye, trying to hold your mind completely still. With the mind deeply concentrated and interiorized, you can go on to the other parts of your meditation, such as concentrating on the light of the spiritual eye, listening to the inner sounds, or feeling the deep love, peace, and joy brought by meditation.

How long should you practice this meditation? Be guided by your own feeling of enjoyment and your ability to maintain your concentration. Be sure to allow time for silent communion and devotion after your practice of the Jesus Prayer Meditation technique.
