Prison or Prism

The mind can become a prison or a prism. It can hold us in fear or refract the light in various directions.

The imprisoned mind is bound, it cannot think for itself. It can be bound by a society or school of thought or even a religion. It can be imprisoned by fear or guilt. It can represent a cult or a self imposed judgement. It can be imprisoned by material things or corrupt thoughts.

 The prism mind is one of balance, reflection and refraction. It is creative , it takes light and passes it on- sometimes in a million directions like a star. The prism mind is open to new ideas or discoveries.
Yes if we meditate on a prism allowing the divine thoughts to flow through us and become dispersed it will bring joy.

 Ask yourself this question is my mind a prison or a prism. Then work toward making that change it will bring you peace.

joy and peace.

The Mark

 So what is a mark? The world had been plagued by the mark for thousands of years. We have even heard of the mark of the beast. In gypsy circles the mark was used to take from the innocent it was a way to extract money from a certain people using - yes , fear. The mark of the beast is an old gypsy technique to extract money from the fearful. An ancient con that still goes on today.

 The mark is also a gambling term it is a give away a twitch , a nervous motion an indicator. The people that show their fear are an easy mark to a gambler. Life is full of gamblers and full of marks waiting to be taken.

 Religion can use fear there are many out there that use gypsy magic to take your money. Is this peace of mind?

 I am only telling you this not to embarrass or deceive you. For chances are if you believe in the mark you have already been taken by fear.

 I have found freedom from fear - the peace that passes all understanding, Love. The love that comes from the truth. The truth will set you from from fear - from the mark of the beast. There is another mark one of faith , one of love and peace. These can be detected in the forehead or in the hands.

 Always look at a persons forehead when speaking to them. Shake their hands , watch them if they are steady or shaky. If they do not offer a steady hand shake it probably means they are germ a phobic or have fear. Be careful though the politician has learned to disguise these traits , ha ha.

Worldly
Revelation 19:20 - And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
 Jehovah said, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that groan and sigh for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof; and smite; let not your eye spare; but come not near against any man upon whom is the mark (Ezek. 9:4-6).

Spiritual
Behold the Lamb standing on the Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having the name of His Father written on their foreheads (Rev. 14:1).

They shall see the faces of God and of the Lamb, and His name shall be on their foreheads (Rev. 22:4).

It was said that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, nor any tree; but only the men that have not the mark of God on their foreheads (Rev. 9:4).

The bible is a book that teaches all about defense from magic, gypsy magic. If you learn to read with eyes of wisdom and love it will be a valuable book and enlightening . If you read with the eyes of fear it will destroy you. It was written for the man of faith with the mark of God on his forehead and also a warning to the man of fear the mark of the beast. It is a two edged sword.

 You see our foreheads can show worry or enlightenment and our hands can be shaky or show honesty. It is the body language of the bible.

peace.

Past , Present and Future

We can live in various states of thought. We can dwell on these for moments , days or even years. We can become historians , students or scientist depending on the degree of this contemplation. Often the monk that spent their entire life in prayer and meditation only highlight that one brief moment of enlightenment. The moment that creator and creation were united consciously. Even though they were never really parted.

The pure land is the place between the inner and outer. We often will say I remember the good old days, when taxes were not so high and the land was full of game and the waters fish. We did not need a license to hunt or fish or permission to  produce or sell goods.
We also say life is good -we no longer have to hunt game or grow food - there are stores and shops. We just need to get in our cars and go to the malls.

Future is here we can go online , we can stay home and the mail person will deliver us food or clothing. We can earn a degree or even work from home. We have Google glasses that will remember all we see and allow us to search other minds or sources with just a blink. We are integrating into technology. Soon we will spend less time bathing or in the bathroom. Our fluids and bionics will be regulated by technology. We will live in a virtual reality within a virtual reality. Our dreams will be replaced by programmed utopias not much different than now. Our memories will be stored on a chip, we will have redundant existences in various parts of the world to avoid extinction.  We will exist in a cloud like the angels we once hoped to be like.
 The cloud will hold our memories Past , Present and Future.

Peace.

Mirage or Miracle

A man is alone in the desert - suffering from hunger and thirst. He see in the distance an oasis of trees sprouting with fresh fruit. He goes toward the oasis - the closer he gets the further away it seems. Like the enormous mountain ranges of the world they seem to take forever to arrive.

Is the oasis a mirage or a miracle? The mind can seem both kind and cruel. It offers both hope for survival and can see beyond circumstance.

In my writing mostly focused on comparative studies and uniqueness I sometimes mention scriptures or stories in reference. A fine line between hope and deception. I see the mind as being both within and around us. It is both present and beyond. We are told to have the mind of Christ in the christian life. To some to seek the Pure land. Where is this place the kingdom of God within , the kingdom of Heaven. To me it is the mind within and beyond.

As far as the the miracle - it is the future state of hope. The dream that came true whether it was a cure for a disease or a new birth. A miracle can be an outcome beyond the odds a spark of energy or creation. So if a man heads toward an oasis only to find it to be a mirage. Was it an act of a vain imagination or just someone that needed a miracle. The mind preserved the man in his journey toward this mirage had he not seen it perhaps he would have perished long ago. Then again it may had been the oasis was real. We have no way of knowing till we get there.

The mind preserves us through mirages and miracles. It seems we often dispel that life itself is a miracle , even though the odds of earthlings even to have made it this far are very great. The fact that we exist is a miracle. We live in a world of tides , both men and women go through changes in the physical and mental. We see the economies change , the governments change. The planet and universe changes. The internal tides and beyond tides are all connected to the mind. The mind can sense these changes.

We call this sense of change awareness. It is tied into our survival as a person and as a species. We feel a sense of peace when our survival is not threatened.

To sum it up Mirage or Miracle , all bring hope. The mind is kind.

Peace.
