"The Contingency Plan." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
The Annapurna explains how to consume sense objects with the mind and remain pure. The following section says to continue to be unattached to the impure while developing an attachment for the experiences of a saint. Sitting still and watching the world burn down is obviously not the contigency plan of a saint:
II-5. He does not approve of inactivity; neither does he cling to activities. He, the renouncer, is the superbly equable (in outlook); he is said to be the non-attached.
II-6. One who mentally, and not in the concrete act alone, renounces fruits, etc., of all his activities – that adept is said to be non-attached.
II-7. Imaginations and the manifold activities issuing (therefrom) are cured, here, by non-indulgence in imagination; thus promote well-being.

Jesus and the Jews. From John 7.
Tumblr media
Jesus Christ, the Embodied Supreme Being came to institute Shabbat and encourage mankind to envelope all of its citizens in equal rights and the benefits of God's Graces. The Pharisees argued with Him about this, claiming He should nurture His own people first.
Eventually they agreed with Jesus it was in the best interests of the Shule if He did what He came to do. They parted friends, leaving Jesus with some advice: explain yourself in greater detail, which He did during the Sermon on the Mount which follows John 7.
Antisemitism itself is such a strange phenomenon- the Book of John says the Rabbinate summoned Jesus, argued with him then let him go saying they blessed His Mission. The legendary rejection of the Jew that caused all of this trouble is not in the Gospels. It was pure imagination. Silly but true. 
The Rabbis even say "We are not trying to kill you!!!" John even says the Temple Police were impressed with Jesus.
Things do not go well for Jesus later because mankind is savage and wanted to maintain its wicked behavior but the murder of Christ is not premeditated by the Gospels something has to be done to clear the record about the world's remaining Jews and their connection to the Christ which was accepted by the Rabbinate in the Book of John.
JOHN 7
Jesus and His Brothers
1After this, Jesus traveled around the country of Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jewish leaders there wanted to kill him. 2It was time for the Jewish Festival of Shelters. 3So his brothers said to him, “You should leave here and go to the festival in Judea. Then your followers there can see the miracles you do. 4If you want to be well known, you must not hide what you do. So, if you can do such amazing things, let the whole world see you do them.” 5Jesus’ brothers said this because even they did not believe in him.
6Jesus said to them, “The right time for me has not yet come, but any time is right for you to go. 7The world cannot hate you. But the world hates me, because I tell the people in the world that they do evil things. 8So you go to the festival. I will not go now, because the right time for me has not yet come.” 9After Jesus said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10So his brothers left to go to the festival. After they left, Jesus went too, but he did not let people see him. 11At the festival the Jewish leaders were looking for him. They said, “Where is that man?”
12There was a large group of people there. Many of them were talking secretly to each other about Jesus. Some people said, “He is a good man.” But others said, “No, he fools the people.” 13But no one was brave enough to talk about him openly. They were afraid of the Jewish leaders.
Jesus Teaches in Jerusalem
14When the festival was about half finished, Jesus went to the Temple area and began to teach. 15The Jewish leaders were amazed and said, “How did this man learn so much? He never had the kind of teaching we had!”
16Jesus answered, “What I teach is not my own. My teaching comes from the one who sent me. 17People who really want to do what God wants will know that my teaching comes from God. They will know that this teaching is not my own. 18If I taught my own ideas, I would just be trying to get honor for myself. But if I am trying to bring honor to the one who sent me, I can be trusted. Anyone doing that is not going to lie. 19Moses gave you the law, right? But you don’t obey that law. If you do, then why are you trying to kill me?”
20The people answered, “A demon is making you crazy! We are not trying to kill you.”
21Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle on a Sabbath day, and you were all surprised. 22But you obey the law Moses gave you about circumcision—and sometimes you do it on a Sabbath day. (Really, Moses is not the one who gave you circumcision. It came from our ancestors who lived before Moses.) Yes, you often circumcise baby boys on a Sabbath day. 23This shows that someone can be circumcised on a Sabbath day to obey the Law of Moses. So why are you angry with me for healing a person’s whole body on the Sabbath day? 24Stop judging by the way things look. Be fair and judge by what is really right.”
People Wonder if Jesus Is the Messiah
25Then some of the people who lived in Jerusalem said, “This is the man they are trying to kill. 26But he is teaching where everyone can see and hear him. And no one is trying to stop him from teaching. Maybe the leaders have decided that he really is the Messiah. 27But when the real Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from. And we know where this man’s home is.”
28Jesus was still teaching in the Temple area when he said loudly, “Do you really know me and where I am from? I am here, but not by my own decision. I was sent by one who is very real. But you don’t know him. 29I know him because I am from him. He is the one who sent me.”
30When Jesus said this, the people tried to grab him. But no one was able even to touch him, because the right time for him had not yet come. 31But many of the people believed in Jesus. They said, “We are waiting for the Messiah to come. When he comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man has done?”
The Jewish Leaders Try to Arrest Jesus
32The Pharisees heard what the people were saying about Jesus. So the leading priests and the Pharisees sent some Temple police to arrest him. 33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer. Then I will go back to the one who sent me. 34You will look for me, but you will not find me. And you cannot come where I am.”
35These Jews said to each other, “Where will this man go that we cannot find him? Will he go to the Greek cities where our people live? Will he teach the Greek people there? 36He says, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me.’ He also says, ‘You cannot come where I am.’ What does this mean?”
Jesus Talks About the Holy Spirit
37The last day of the festival came. It was the most important day. On that day Jesus stood up and said loudly, “Whoever is thirsty may come to me and drink. 38If anyone believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from their heart. That is what the Scriptures say.” 39Jesus was talking about the Spirit. The Spirit had not yet been given to people, because Jesus had not yet been raised to glory. But later, those who believed in Jesus would receive the Spirit.
The People Argue About Jesus
40When the people heard the things that Jesus said, some of them said, “This man really is the Prophet.”
41Other people said, “He is the Messiah.”
And others said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee. 42The Scriptures say that the Messiah will come from the family of David. And they say that he will come from Bethlehem, the town where David lived.” 43So the people did not agree with each other about Jesus. 44Some of the people wanted to arrest him. But no one tried to do it.
The Jewish Leaders Refuse to Believe
45The Temple police went back to the leading priests and the Pharisees. The priests and the Pharisees asked, “Why didn’t you bring Jesus?”
46The Temple police answered, “We have never heard anyone say such amazing things!”
47The Pharisees answered, “So he has fooled you too! 48You don’t see any of the leaders or any of us Pharisees believing in him, do you? 49But those people out there know nothing about the law. They are under God’s curse!”
50But Nicodemus was there in that group. He was the one who had gone to see Jesus before. He said, 51“Our law will not let us judge anyone without first hearing them and finding out what they have done.”
52The Jewish leaders answered, “You must be from Galilee too! Study the Scriptures. You will find nothing about a prophet coming from Galilee.”
Galilee means "cylindric scroll." Probably a reference to the Torah, which finished with references to Jericho not Galilee.
The reason Jesus was questioned about this is it has to do with the Lottery. The Promised Land was deeded in bits and proportions to the 12 tribes and 70 clans meaning, "a good recipe is 10% Reuben, AKA Leadership, 15% Shimon, "a good reputation", etc.
There are no mentions of Messianic personality types called Tribe of Galilee so those Rabbis were trying to tell Jesus a piece of His logic needed further definition, except in my opinion, He did it in the Sermon on the Mount when he added such a wonderfully blessed speech to the Canon "the cylinder scroll" there. 
Perhaps Jesus took them seriously and that is what that meant.  Even still, to fabricate reasons to murder Jews has to be addressed with serious thought and a potent response by the civilized world. 
The Mormons, Evangelicals, Republicans, Scientologists and Pro-Lifers are not beloved by God like the Jewish people, that is just not going to happen. Intolerance of these reviling persons and their constant rampages against the rest of the world must be discussed by the world's communities. On October7, they simply went too far to pretend we can live alongside them long-term.
There are Four Gospels that suggest we should be capable of outgrowing them. Together they represent the full cycle of the enlightenment of the human spirit so we have all we need to move past the evil they have done and live so very well without them.
As a polemic, my argument which states that God, the Christ, the Rab, and the Shule collaborated to improve the chances man would enter more closely into the Presence of Grace confirms Jesus was an instrument of the Synagogue and not the other way around. This closes centuries of debate on this issue.

"The Maintenance." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
II-3. All this is Self: what shall I seek here and what avoid ? Know this to be the position of non-attachment that the Jivanmukta "egoless" fosters.
II-4. I am not; none, other than me, is; neither this nor the non-other exists. This (attitude) is said to be non-attachment, always maintaining, ‘I am Brahman’.
If we think of the world as made by God, as holy, and perceive holiness within the Self, then this becomes the only attachment. An attachment to what is sacred automatically excludes that which is profane. Therefore there should be no sin or evil in the world, only the dictates of our natures that God has said are those that are of the greatest importance to Him.

"Clingers." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
I-57. The man free from inner clingings, whose mind dwells on the blissful (Brahman) may or may not act externally; never can he be either agent or experiencer.
II-1. Nidagha “Hot, sweaty”: What is attachment like ? What kind of it leads to human bondage ? And what kind of it is said to liberate ? How is this (attachment) cured ?
II-2. (Ribhu “Prudent” ): Imagination, ignoring wholly the distinction between the body and the embodied (Self) – the exclusive faith in the body – is the attachment that is said to bind.
Clingings are delusions that we think will help us if we bite down on them and refuse to let go. Addictions, religious superstitions, grudges, ex spouses, childhood memories, everything our parents did to us, everything we regret, these prevent full transparency into the Self.
Now Judaism says we must knock twice and dip twice in order to read a scripture and find Ha Shem, but the Upanishads say there are Four Types of Yoga that teach a meditator how to apply the secrets of the Upanishads and detach from delusion and find the Self.
They are: Bakti Yoga the Yoga of Devotion: performance of Right Actions out of service to humanity and God.
Raja Yoga: restriction of actions in order to curb attachments to the fruits.
Karma Yoga: actions performed for the sake of purification.
Jnana Yoga: the study of the scriptures in order to get to know the penultimate Reality of the Self.
One would give up smoking for example because spiritually speaking, addictions are not prescribed by God. One would restrict intake of the cigarettes, one would exercise and eat properly instead of relying on the cigarettes for emotional stability, and finally one would come into the firm belief God was right, one did not actually need to be addicted to cigarettes to live a fulfilling life.
The same paths can be used to break free of nonsense and nonesuch about being washed in the Blood, having to pray a certain way, or that murder on the cross saves lives. That is just a story, a sad one.
Real death and resurrection are found in the noble acts of one who seeks the Hem of the Christ, the God of Israel, the Self that is the same Self in all, the maker and enjoyer within all beings.

Who is Ratnashambhava?
Tumblr media
Ratnasambhava, the South Facing Buddha, "the jewel prospector" is one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas of Mahayana and Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism. Ratnasambhava's mandalas and mantras focus on developing equanimity and equality and, in Vajrayana Buddhist thought is associated with the attempt to destroy greed and pride.
When we seek enlightenment we turn towards the sun in the East. Pride vanishes when one turns South and realizes one does not know or have sufficient experience to meet all of life's conditions.
The process concludes when one turns West, the end of all ego and attainment to Ha Shem, complete liberation from all the vestiges of insentience.
His name in Hebrew means "The trough on the farm is a miracle."
Rat=trough, fluency
Nas= the miracle
Sham=the Name is there
Bhava= on the farm
On the farm at the trough is where one comes in contact with the Torah's concept of freedom and commits to institutionalizing it all around the world.
The Hebrew word for farm is Bar, which is the same term used for "purified man." Troughs move water from their source to the desired location but can only be done with permission of the owner of the land. The water is not stolen or borrowed as it the legal property of the owner of the farm.
An impure man would steal the water whenever he was thirsty and leave the farm without obtaining the permission of the owner like a wild animal.
The Number is 1063, י‎ו‎ג‎, yog, or "yoga". By yoking the animal to the sentience of man, humility before God is born. In addition to fulfilling all the requirements needed for worship, this saves lives.
Buddha Ratnasambhava is another example of how the Angels of the God of Israel taught every sage of every religion everything they knew about God, sin, salvation, and how reclaim man from his savage roots.

"The Concentrated Mind." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
The world does not need to know or benefit from outer expressions of our moods, thoughts or opinions unless they are of benefit to the greater good. All discussions about God and the gods in particular, unless they are for these purposes, are also not recommended as they just cause trouble:
I-55. Directly experienced indeed as the God of gods and Self of all entities, moving and stationary is this total and infinite reality of the Self, dwelling in the fast-evolving mind that is quietened externally.
I-56. The unattached, steady, and controlled mind is not in evidence in the worldings; the attached mind, though subjected to long-drawn austerities is, as it were, altogether bound.
Muhammad  said religion was not meant to be a compulsory act, Jesus said do not discuss prayer or brag about one’s religion in public and in the Book of Kings, God tells Jews not to go left, do not go right, but go right down the center. The Shoftim also say one should pass God right by on the way to real life. The Upanishad is in agreement with these other religious tracts.

Who is Buddha Vajradahara?
Tumblr media
Vajradhara is Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Hebrew for "Pay the Tax, Gather on the Moutain with the Shepherd and Learn What Happened."
The Number is 1476, אדזו‎‎, edzo, "until this."
He is the Vajrayana Buddhist version of the God of Israel the Most High. In His Creative Aspect He is called Heruka Chakrasamvara "the one who was shown the names and sees" in which he becomes multivariate.
Tumblr media
The Number is 1310, אגאאֶפֶס‎, agapes, "the Steering Wheel of Reconciliation."
This once again proves all religion is a product of One Religion, Judaism and its God, called Ea, Eretz Israel, who From ancient times, has provided each generation with its own Image in Enlightenment.
Ea, the House of Israel is mentioned as far back as 3,500 BCE in the epic poem, Inanna in the Underworld, within which the God Ea counsels a world that is out of balance on the importance of observing Shabbos and Shabbat.
From the Angels to the Tzedakim, to the Christ, the Buddhas, Dakas, Dakinis, and Lamas, and through the Mosque this Being is Omni present, a guarantor of Messianic tendencies to all those who trust and believe in Him.
These are found in the 12 Tribes and Seventy Clans in the Torah, called "12 Imams" in Arabic in the Quran, but on the Heruka, they are identified by ritual objects, each one is used to amplify aspects of enlightenment the Sutra says we are all born with but have difficulty finding because of our delusions. It is this struggle of the Messianic vs. the Demonic that defines the presence of God in each frame of human history, however, not the format in which it is found.

"The Perfect Flow." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
I-48. O Brahmin, by the term Samadhi (Concentration) the wise denote transcendent understanding that is concentrated, eternally appeased, and is cognizant of things as they are.
I-49. The term Concentration denotes the stable, mountain-like, status (of the self) that is unagitated, unegoistic, and unrelated to dualities.
 I-50. O Brahmin, it denotes the perfected flow of the mind that is sure, choiceless and goalless.
Without the discipline of meditation which allows an unbiased reality to enter the five senses, one will be deluded almost all of the time.
The wise, therefore learn to meditate by sitting then by opening the eyes and then practice unceasing:
I-51. The best of the knowers of the Vedas, the great ones, win that fourth and stable perception that is fashioned solely through a part of the light of the Spirit.
I-52. (It is) lodged in the heart of all things and not altogether unlike dreamless slumber, when the mind and the ego subside.
I-53. After liquidating the mind with the mind, that state – that supremely divine bliss-body – is automatically won.
I-54. Thence follows the obliteration of all cravings for objects; then dawns the auspicious and superbly splendid light, and then, in the case of the very best, due to the sway of even-mindness (takes place) the ineffable transformation into the Self’s substance.

The Contract in the Book of Mormon.
Tumblr media
We know the Torah names a Contract between God and man within the first and last verses. Man will give up his savagery, God will shine His Grace upon us.
in the Book of Mormon, and offspring of the Torah, the same is true.
Fr. 1 Nephi 1:
1 I, Nephi, having been born of goodly cparents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.
The Values in Gematria are:
a.  I, Nephi, having been born of goodly cparents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless,
The Value in Gematria is 10590, יהטאֶפֶס, "the yacht of yehtapes", "the yacht will be caught."
b. having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.
The Value in Gematria is 9891, טחטא‎‎, "thatched tahta", "thatched under."
and the final verse:
Moroni 10:34:
 And now I bid unto all, farewell. I soon go to arest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again reunite, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both quick and dead. Amen.
a.  And now I bid unto all, farewell. I soon go to arest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again reunite,
The Value in Gematria is 6062, ו‎אֶפֶסו‎ב‎, "and ephesus,"
b. and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both quick and dead. Amen.
The Value in Gematria is 7133, זאג‎ג, and zagg, "and the glazier and the glass cutter."
=
"The Yacht used to sail to Ephesus, to the Promised Land, will be thatched, water repellant, protect the passengers from violence, [like the Ark] and lead them to full transparency with God."
=
A world without violence and sound government.
=
Mankind will serve God out of love not out of fear.
The Book of Genesis says God saw Himself in the surface of the deep then He became Himself over the course of the Seven Days. Humankind must sail across the same Sea, and see itself if it is to reach the other side. The Book of Mormon says the love of God should draw us there as if through a magnetic attraction, but we cannot surpass the Third Day, and end to violence and reach the Fourth Day, the Age of Reason. We refuse to witness the causes and effects of our behavior and live loveless lives.
Until we accept the consequences of our actions and reason like adult human beings who understand their surroundings comprehensively, we will remain adrift on a turbulent sea of fear.
The Book of Mormon promises those who read and follow it shall not suffer this fate and will see God.
For those in doubt, read Ether 8:
9 Now the daughter of Jared was exceedingly fair. And it came to pass that she did talk with her father, and said unto him: Whereby hath my father so much sorrow? Hath he not read the record which our fathers brought across the great deep? Behold, is there not an account concerning them of old, that they by their secret plans did obtain kingdoms and great glory?
The daughter of Jared, which is Hebrew for the "descedants" is fair because she like her namesake, the government is "fair." Persons who believe in and trust the Words of Moses which were brought across the Sea first by God and then by Moses and to this country by the first Mormon Prophets again when America had an active slave trade all say the same things. "Hidden in these words are the path to utter freedom."
Cast them aside and grieve.

"The Assimilation." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
I-44. O best of ascetics, to the extent all objects are readily renounced, the supreme Self, the transcendent light, alone remains.
I-45. So long as all objects are not renounced, the Self is not won. What remains after the renunciation of the entire objective manifold is said to be the Self.
I-46. Therefore, in order to realize the Self, renounce everything. Having cast off all (objects), assimilate yourself to that which remains.
I-47. Whatever object is beheld in the world around is but the vibration of Consciousness, it is nothing permanent.
Experiences and their objects are as the Upanishad said, temporary but the habits that cause delusory behavior can last a lifetime. So the goal of one who reads the Upanishads is to become permanently detached. After this the rest works itself out.

"Petty Affairs." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
I-39. Let death come now or at the end of cycles; he remains unblemished as gold (fallen) in mire.
I-40. Consider in your mind: who am I ? How is all this (brought about) ? How do death and birth (happen) ? Thus (considering) will you earn the great benefit (of investigation).
I-41. Your mind will shed its (discursive) form and quietly win repose, once, through investigation, you comprehend your real nature.
I-42. O Brahmin, your mind, cured of its feverishness, no more sinks in empirical activities, as an elephant does not, in the hollow made by a cow’s hoof.
I-43. But a petty mind, O Brahmin, does sink in any petty affair, just as a battered mosquito does, in the water collected in the hollow made by a cow’s hoof.
How can we be free, inwardly and outwardly from baffling “petty affairs” like party politics, religious superstitions for which there are no proof, and contend with the world on legal, ethical, spiritual and logical terms?
The Upanishad says to sit, contemplate the incomprehensible existence of life, deny all delusions and fantasies, and adhere to the calls of duty. After that, all will fall into place. This simple formula for rescue and refuge really works. The rest of religion is rubbish.

"The Concentration." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
I-36. For all (unliberated) beings what is within is projected externally.
I-37. But the lover of the inner Self, though operating through the organs of action, is unaffected by joy and sorrow; he is said to be concentrated.
I-38. He who, as a matter of course and not through fear, beholds all beings as one’s own Self and others’ possessions as clods of earth, alone sees aright.
We are all guaranteed freedom by God and the law, and our governments and governors are supposed to protect us from interlopers like Rob Desantis, Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin. Except we are being subjected to terrorist leaders because the human race does not believe it is actually supposed to be free of such persons' delusions of legalized oppression.
The reason Krishna and the scriptures of all faiths prescribe duty as the first calling of religion is because the performance of duty is also the fruit of the actions. There is no need for desire, debate or room for delusion in the performance of duty.
One does not need to desire to put a building that is on fire out one does it because of the call of duty and then it is done. The fruits and the effort are one.
Thus duties to the poor, the homeless, the underfed, undereducated and oppressed always come first for a president or Congress or a Supreme Court decision so the nation obtains the fruits through right actions without question.
The decision to perform duties over agenda items curbs delusion, corruption, generates income, and focuses the government and community on proper citizenship and government.
When we imagine things, like Pro-Life and hatred of trans people and Jews, and turn them into legal frameworks for the government, however, hell on earth transpires.
The Upanishads say “when one views the Self as the same Self in all one sees things aright.” All that is going wrong on the planet earth right now is because all are deluded. No one sees. All the presidents and crowns in the world, however, are required to see.

"Hypocrites." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
3: 3-9:  The Lord said: O sinless one, the two paths leading to enlightenment were previously explained by Me: the path of knowledge, for those inclined toward contemplation, and the path of work for those inclined toward action.
One cannot achieve freedom from karmic reactions by merely abstaining from work, nor can one attain perfection of knowledge by mere physical renunciation.
There is no one who can remain without action even for a moment. Indeed, all beings are compelled to act by their qualities born of material nature (the three guṇas).
Those who restrain the external organs of action, while continuing to dwell on sense objects in the mind, certainly delude themselves and are to be called hypocrites.
But those karm yogis who control their knowledge senses with the mind, O Arjun, and engage the working senses in working without attachment, are certainly superior.
You should thus perform your prescribed Vedic duties, since action is superior to inaction. By ceasing activity, even your bodily maintenance will not be possible.
Work must be done as a yajna to the Supreme Lord; otherwise, work causes bondage in this material world. Therefore, O son of Kunti, for the satisfaction of God, perform your prescribed duties, without being attached to the results.
Duty includes feeding and hygiene of the body, work at home, work in the field, law enforcement, charity, etc. all the activities associated with personal and social propriety.
Violations of duty, like a war in Ukraine, a rapist cheating president, climate change, floods, hunger, homelessness, poverty all the religions say are violations of duty and require immediate action by the Godly. Godly duty is the opposite of impulsive behaviors motivated by inner desires and inner demons. Where there is duty there is no need for worry, fear, anticipation, all the causes of anxiety in man because all that needs to be done gets done.
What we have done here in America is to fail our duty. We know gun violence is wrong. We know Pro-Life is wrong, we know allowing the Republican Party to exist is wrong. Knowing what is happening in wrong and failing in duty towards what is right is the reason the world is no longer turning. From the White House to your house, duty cannot be denied or we are not a country or a mankind we are savages wearing men’s clothes and this makes our lives here unlawful and unholy and this has to be addressed at once or more people are going to die. Protecting the living is the most important duty and no one is allowed to fail at it.

"The Forest Village." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
I-32. When the imagination of unity with all objects is mentally discarded, due to its constant introverted state, all things are resolved into empty space.
I-33. As crowds in a market, though active, are as good as non[1]existent (to the observer) when he is not related (to them), so too, to the knower is a village like unto a forest.
Unity with imaginary beings is like being lost in an imaginary forest with talking animals and friendly dwarves. It is the ability to discern the Grace of God hidden within all sense objects and discard the rest that hides the true nature of reality from the mind.
No matter how many people insist or threaten, there is only that which can be seen by the five senses or detected by scientific instruments or the postulations named by the Upanishads. The knower of these things achieves unity with God and does not return this world of ignorance in the same dull manner ever again.

"Latent Impulses." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
I-27. All waverings between states of reasoning, etc., having vanished long since, his face steeped in the lovely light of Brahmic bliss, (the sage) attains the blessed state through right knowledge alone.
 I-28. The inner cool (calm repose) of him who perceives this multitude of gunas (moods) as non-Self is said to be Concentration.
 I-29. The steady mind is empty of latent impulses; the same is (the state of) contemplation. The same also is Aloneness. Besides, it is nothing but perpetual quiescence.
I-30. The mind with attenuated latent impulses is said to be bound for the highest state. Next, the mind, without such impulses, attains the status of the non-doer.
I-31. On the other hand, the mind’s imagination of being the doer is replete with latent impulses; it causes all sufferings; therefore  attenuated latent impulses.
Fluctuations in the mind for any reason, the weather, the kids, the dog, one’s boss, the past, present, or the future, these lead to loss of impulse control. The greatest sin associated with impulse control is the enforcement of the imaginary as if it were real. Moods are not real, they will pass if they are ignored, leaving not a trace of their existence on the mind or the world if they are not acted upon. This leaves behind grace and duty.
The call of grace, the fondness we have for being happy and spending time around happy persons, and the call of duty are not moods they are not the result of impulse or fantasy.
These which pertain to the highest state of mind of the saint are the only impulses that are allowed.

"The Supervene." From the Annapurna Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Queen of Foods.
Tumblr media
I-23. Due to the absolute contemplation of absence (or nihil), when the mind dwindles, there results the state of the being-in-general (satta-samanya), of that whose essence is unqualified consciousness. I-24. Surely, devoid of all objective tinge, when consciousness (chit) subsides, there supervenes the exceedingly transparent being-in general that resembles non-being. I-25. For the liberated Self, both embodied and disembodied, surely there occurs this ultimate perception known as the state-beyond-the fourth. I-26. O sinless one, this occurs in the case of the knower both when he has risen from Concentration (Samadhi) and when he is established in it; being born of awareness, this does not happen for the ignorant alone.
The Upanishad says the Supreme Being seems like it exists on the verge of non-existence. During meditation the mind is supposed to shutter, like one is trying to adjust blinds on the window and let in just enough light. In actual practice what on is doing is preventing intrusions from the three realms from causing the mind to run away from the presence of real life.
This process is more than just trying to prevent oneself from worrying if one left the iron on or an endurance test against one’s addictions, moods, or bodily functions. Until one sits and discovers how unreal these things are, however, one will not see the Self which is composed only of that which is substantively real.
To explain this the Upanishads speak of layers of reality. Thoughts about a rock are unreal. The rock itself is reality. Meditation challenges the mind not to worry about rocks until they are right in front of the eyes or under foot. The intellect will know what to do when a rock appears. Worry over the existence of the rock is not the layer of reality one is interested in if one wants to meet God and fulfill the Self.
All sin takes place because we invest the unreality of the temptations of life. To be able to know the difference between the dream rock and the real thing, to have the skill, is salvation itself.

Who is Khepri? The Egyptian Beetle Headed God of the Rebirth of Creation?
Tumblr media
Khepri, in ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, the god of the morning sun, representing its transformational power. Khepri was depicted in the form of a scarab beetle, specifically the Egyptian dung beetle (Scarabaeus sacer), or in the form of a human with the head of a scarab beetle. As the morning sun, he was considered an aspect of the sun god Re.
Tumblr media
Khepri is Hebrew for "as a digger". Like the actual beetle, Kephri has larval form, a giant worm called Shai Hulud. "The Immortal Thing Within the Island of Rust."
Shai= He/She/It/Thing
H= God
U=Or
Lu=No
Ud= Ember
Most authorities agree Shai Hulud is the larval form of the Aeonic Being Kephri, who after the metamorphosis of the age, takes the form of a scarab beetle. The tendency of the god to burrow and then fly is represented by another Hebrew term, Gaddeon, "the gliding Gideon." His Number is 283, בח‎ג‎, "in the Holiday Festival."
Shai Hulud appears first as a giant worm whose mouth opens into a massive tea flower and from the flower emerges the new Aeon and its Angelic sponsor, the god Khepri, whose association with Gideon the Hebrew Judge cannot be ignored. When it is time, as stated above, Khepri appears as both a massive beetle and in anthropomorphic formats.
Tumblr media
The Tea flowers called char, are a double entendre for noon, or "to praise God we are together".
Our verb χαιρω (chairo) originally described the formation of a social network, and expresses the security that comes from connectedness and diversity.
Nuclear fusion (the reason why the sun shines and why there are elements other than hydrogen) is all about sharing resources and extracting the subsequent surplus, which is exactly the reason why sufficiently compact societies can generate and store wealth. In fact, the more diversely intra-connected a society is, the more wealth it can release and the brighter its social "star" shines (hence MATTHEW 2:2, Genesis 15:5, Daniel 12:3; all those).
Our verb refers to social compaction, describes the opposite of social scattering (MATTHEW 26:31) and goes hand in hand with the adjective αγιος (agios), which is usually translated with "holy" but literally expresses social convergence. This adjective was also used substantively, in which case it denoted "the holy [place]" or temple.
Temples originated as storages of societal surplus, and were managed by the tribe's wizard (= wise-ard or wisely natured man). This wizard in turn guarded the tribe's wisdom — technology, science and history, commonly stored in lyrical prose — and if the tribe was large enough, this would grow out into a genuine school.
Temples were thus initially central banks annex academies, that as a side effect began to express tribal identities and thus their totems and ultimately their deities (see our article on ναος, naos, meaning temple).
Most of the other nations surmised that a nation's strength came from its government (Psalm 146:3), its technology (Daniel 3:19), or its army (Psalm 20:7), but Israel knew that the strongest and broadest networks are formed according to the laws of nature (ROMANS 1:20), and arise not from strong men teaming up but from weak people reaching out (1 CORINTHIANS 13:9, COLOSSIANS 1:24).
More than half of this verb's occurrences in the New Testament are in the passive voice, which has traditionally been deemed deponent (meaning when the form is passive, translate as active anyway) but here at Abarim Publications we surmise that the passive form is indeed meant to be passive and means to be "en-joyed", to be infused with joy, to be made (to feel) secure and widely connected. Hence JOHN 16:20 does not say that the world will rejoice, but rather that the world will be made secure, diverse and connected.
Likewise, the active voice describes to be, make or feel secure and widely connected. The nations mentioned in ACTS 13:48 were fully functioning cultures with their own wisdom traditions based on verified science and technology that was demonstrated to work. Upon their hearing the gospel (which is an insight into the natural world and not a religious manifesto as is commonly believed) they were making their nations secure, diverse and connected (compare LUKE 15:5 to Isaiah 9:6).
Our verb's imperative (resulting in the command: "rejoice!") and infinitive moods ("[in order] to rejoice") often serve as greeting, which quite literally stems from an invitation to bond and secure (MATTHEW 28:9, JOHN 19:3, ACTS 23:26, JAMES 1:1).
The verb χαιρω (chairo) means to be socially joyful. From our verb derive:
Together with the preposition συν (sun), meaning together or with: the verb συγχαιρω (sugchairo), meaning to jointly rejoice. This verb is used 7 times, SEE FULL CONCORDANCE, possibly most spectacularly in 1 CORINTHIANS 13:6: "Love rejoices not upon injustice, but jointly rejoices in the truth."
The noun χαρα (chara), meaning a rejoicing due to security, diversity and connectedness.
The transformation of Shai Hulud into His Scarab format is a sign it is time for the Age of Agony when all was rust from all the bloodshed to end and the Age of Mashiach is to begin.
There are more than a few Mishnah in the Talmud that refer to such an angelic being, a digger under the name of Ben Yohai, "the Son of the Name the Restores Life [to Israel]."
Kephri would not have emerged from the flower within the maw of Shai Hulud unless it was the Right Time. All of Israel must prepare.
