This is a brief discussion of my reading of the testimony of the three and the eight witnesses, found here (http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm/introduction?lang=eng). I was enlightened, and I hope that you are too.
A study of God's desire for the His people in these last days. Are we willing to be "blameless and harmless" a people of God "without rebuke" let us look at how scripture describes the last generation in earth's history.
The document discusses how believers were once captive to sin but can now be conquerors through Christ. It notes some "chains" that once held believers in sin like thinking "we are all sinners." However, through Jesus we can fulfill God's righteous requirements by walking in the Spirit. As heirs of God through adoption, believers have been delivered from captivity and are now more than conquerors through Christ's love. The document ends by highlighting passages in Revelation about how believers can overcome through Christ to receive eternal rewards.
M2014 s93 the lord knows the way of the righteous 12 7-14 sermonsJames Bradshaw
This document summarizes a sermon about Psalm 1. It discusses how the Lord knows the righteous, who delight in God's word and are firmly planted, and contrasts them with the wicked, who will not stand in judgment. The righteous are blessed for rejecting evil counsel and living according to God's law, making them secure like trees by the river. In contrast, the wicked are like chaff driven by the wind and will perish when God's judgment comes.
This document discusses Jesus as the gate that provides access to spiritual blessings and an abundant life. It explains that Jesus is the only way to salvation, peace with God, and true happiness. The gate represents believing in Jesus Christ, and entering through Him in order to be saved and find fulfillment. While the invitation to the gate is open to all, one must reject other false gates and commit to following Jesus as the way.
Being a Christian is challenging! We are challenged to imitate Christ! We are challenged to make our conduct consistent with our calling! We are challenged to remember where we were and where Jesus brought us. Yes, Christianity is challenging!
The document discusses 10 mysteries related to Paul in the Bible. These include: 1) The restoration of Israel, 2) The rapture, 3) Christ and the Church, 4) Believers being in Christ, 5) Christ being in believers, 6) The second coming of Christ, 7) The mystery of lawlessness, 8) Christ's work through believers, 9) God being manifest in the flesh, and 10) The preaching of the gospel. The mysteries involve theological concepts and events that were hidden but have now been revealed through God and Scripture.
The document outlines several key aspects of pre-modern worldviews:
1. Divine revelation was seen as the primary source of knowledge that was not subject to inquiry or critique.
2. Religious authorities like priests and rabbis mediated divine revelation to humans and all human authority and law was believed to have divine origins.
3. In pre-modern worldviews, there was no differentiation between the secular and sacred spheres - supernatural experiences were taken for granted.
1) The document discusses the concept of "saved once, saved always" based on passages from Ephesians and other books of the Bible.
2) It argues that God predestined all faithful servants in Christ Jesus for salvation even before the world was created, based on Ephesians 1:1-5, 10.
3) However, it also cites passages like Hebrews 6:4-8 that suggest those who have tasted of the Holy Spirit and God's gifts can fall away and crucify Christ again if they sin and do not repent. This implies salvation can be lost.

Some people are just unlovable - or so it seems. Our enemies seem unlovable yet Jesus called us to love our enemies. What do we have in common? What are the differences we can celebrate? Do we have a common destiny?
This document is a sermon about why Jesus Christ is worthy of praise. It discusses how Christ's sacrifice, life, and death fulfill prophecies and redeem humanity from sin. Christ is the standard by which we are made priests and kings. As the sovereign Lord, he triumphs over evil and empowers believers. The sermon encourages believers to sing a new song of praise to God for what he has done through Christ's work on the cross.
The document discusses Paul's message to the Ephesians about fellowship as the household of God and being built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ. It uses Paul's imprisonment as an example of being a "prisoner of war" for Christ. It outlines three principles for Christians: (1) do not lose heart during trials, (2) do not act as collaborators or tyrants over others, and (3) put on God's armor to withstand devil's schemes. The goal is for believers to faithfully serve as Christ's "prisoners of war" until their release into heaven.
God's love for humanity is described as eternal and sacrificial. God loved the world so much that he gave his only son, Jesus, so that all who believe in him will have eternal life rather than perish. God chose believers before the creation of the world and predestined them to be adopted as his children. God's love is redemptive, as shown through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross to atone for humanity's sins. Nothing can separate believers from God's love, which is eternal.
Near the end of earth's history, Satan will tempt God's people just as he did ancient Israel before they entered the promised land. He will lay snares to entrap souls on their weakest points. Those who have not controlled their passions will be destroyed by Satan's temptations and polluted with licentiousness. It is important to make determined efforts now to overcome defects and prepare our characters for the seal of God and his soon coming.
The document discusses the mystery that was purposed in Christ. It references several Bible passages from Ephesians, Romans, and 1 Corinthians that discuss how God revealed the mystery of His will through Christ to save those who believe. This mystery was kept secret for ages but is now revealed, showing God's wisdom and purpose to gather all things in heaven and earth together in Christ.
The document discusses how Christians should be different from non-believers. It suggests that Christians should: not live for themselves but for God; not think like the world but renew their minds; not worry excessively as non-believers do; and not fear death like others since Jesus conquered death. Multiple Bible verses are provided as evidence for each of these points. The overall message is that through faith in Christ, Christians can and should live differently than the rest of the world in these areas.
M2014 s87 why i love the church of christ part 3 11 9-14 sermonJames Bradshaw
1) The document discusses why the author loves the church of Christ, citing several reasons from the Bible.
2) Key reasons given include that the church is where the saved gather, it is the body of Christ, and it provides opportunities to do good works.
3) Additionally, the church was part of God's eternal plan and Jesus died for the church, making it very important.

As the apostle Paul, encouraged the Philippians “be followers of me even as I am a follower of Christ” (Phil. 3:17), name a couple of Christians you want to emulate, to be like? Why? Why do you think James, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit chose Abraham and Rahab as examples of faith that works? Recount how both Abraham and Rahab were “justified by works”? What other examples from the scriptures would you choose? Why?
Hebrews 2:5-13. We've got 3 questions: 1) Where did I come from? 2) Where am I going? 3) Why? Secular culture answers: 1) Nothing 2) Back to Nothing 3) No reason. I think we can do a little better than that. In fact, the Bible says exactly the opposite.
The document discusses the importance of having a testimony for God and living your life for Christ rather than yourself. It emphasizes that as Christians, we belong to God and will give an account of how we lived our lives and stood for our faith. It encourages living faithfully for Christ so that one's testimony and reputation will draw others to Him, despite any past failures or imperfections, as God can use anyone who is willing.

The document discusses the biblical concept of the Book of Life, which is described as the registry of those who are saved and whose names are written in heaven. The Book of Life contains a precise list of the righteous and is referenced in passages about the final judgment, where those not found written in the book will be condemned to the lake of fire. The document encourages readers to make sure their own names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life in order to gain entrance into heaven.
Paul ministered in Ephesus for 3 years, teaching publicly and from house to house. The letter to the Ephesians discusses the blessings believers have from God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father chose believers before creation, adopted them, and granted them grace. God the Son redeemed believers through His blood, forgiving their sins. God the Holy Spirit sealed believers and guaranteed their future inheritance until redemption.

This document discusses Malaysia's Smart School program. It began as a pilot program in 1996 and by 2010 aimed to convert all 9,000 Malaysian schools. A Smart School has a broad, open curriculum supported by innovative teaching methods using technology. It assesses students holistically and supports lifelong learning. While technology enables new approaches, overcoming challenges like changing mindsets, funding, and technical issues remains important to the program's success.
The document discusses how the amount of catalyst affects the rate of reaction. It describes two experiments:
1) Using 0.2g of manganese (IV) oxide powder as the catalyst.
2) Using 0.8g of manganese (IV) oxide powder as the catalyst.
The results show that with more catalyst (0.8g), the rate of reaction is faster as shown by the higher volume of oxygen gas liberated over time. Increasing the amount of catalyst increases the rate of reaction.
The document discusses the development of Smart Schools in Malaysia from 1999 to the present. It covers 4 waves: the pilot wave from 1999-2002, the post-pilot wave from 2002-2005, making all schools Smart Schools from 2005-2010, and consolidating and stabilizing from 2010-2020. Some key challenges of implementing Smart Schools included a lack of information skills among students and teachers, insufficient training for teachers, and inadequate technology infrastructure in early waves. The goal was to prepare students for the digital age by reinventing teaching practices and integrating technology into the curriculum.

The goal was to prepare students for the digital age by reinventing teaching practices and integrating technology into the curriculum.
The document discusses the key components and qualities of a Malaysian Smart School. It outlines that a Smart School has 1) a philosophy that all students can learn, 2) a broad curriculum considering all student needs and abilities, and 3) uses technology to enhance the teaching-learning process, management/administration, and communication. It also describes the teaching-learning components in Smart Schools which include policies, technology, human resources, processes, and management/administration.
The document describes how the STELLA simulation software can be used to model simple predator-prey dynamics between lynx and hare populations. The simulation allows students to change a parameter representing the size of the lynx harvest and observe the impact on both populations over time. When the harvest is zero, the populations remain stable, but greater harvests cause instability as the lynx consume more hares. The simulation helps students understand how the populations interact and predict outcomes from changing parameters.
1) A student noticed that her orange juice tasted more sour than usual, which led her to wonder how the concentration and pH of drinks influences taste. Drinks have different tastes because they have varying pH levels, with more acidic drinks tasting sour and more basic drinks tasting bitter.
2) The group decided to measure the pH levels of common drinks using a DrDAQ data logger and pH probe. They found that drinks like orange juice and coffee had acidic pH levels around 3.5-5.5, while tea and soda were more neutral around 6-7.
3) Consuming many acidic foods and drinks can increase risk of diseases like cancer because acidic conditions inhibit nerve function and disrupt the body's normal
This document contains information about a course on information and communication technology (ICT) in science. It lists 3 students enrolled in the course along with their matriculation numbers. It then discusses several issues and challenges related to integrating ICT into teaching and learning, including the need for facilities, well-trained teachers, varying student learning styles, and improving communication between teachers and students. It poses questions about how to address challenges such as lack of facilities, helping students use ICT, overcoming inadequate teacher training, and efficiently spending time applying ICT in the classroom.
1. Data logging involves measuring and recording physical or electrical parameters like temperature, strain, voltage, current, pressure, force, and acceleration over time.
2. A data logging system contains three main components: a sensor, data logger hardware, and a computer.
3. Using data loggers in teaching and learning can motivate students and teachers, increase interest in science subjects, and produce graphs and tables automatically, avoiding human errors.
The document discusses the topic of catalysis. Some key points:
- Berzelius coined the term "catalysis" in 1836 to describe reactions that are accelerated by substances that remain unchanged after the reaction.
- Catalysts work by providing an alternative reaction pathway which has a lower activation energy, allowing a greater proportion of particles to react.
- There are two main types of catalysis: heterogeneous catalysis where the catalyst is in a different phase than the reactants, and homogeneous catalysis where the catalyst and reactants are in the same phase.
- Many important industrial processes rely on catalysis such as the Haber process, contact process, and catalytic converters. Catalysis plays a key role
The document describes an experiment to measure the rate of reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid solutions of different concentrations. Mass measurements were taken over time as the marble reacted with 2.0 M and 1.0 M HCl solutions. The rate of reaction was determined by measuring the loss of mass of the marble samples. A graph comparing the mass loss over time for the two acid concentrations showed that the 2.0 M HCl solution reacted faster than the 1.0 M solution.
The document describes several experiments investigating factors that affect the rate of reaction of hydrogen peroxide decomposition. It finds that adding a catalyst (manganese IV oxide) increases the reaction rate. Increasing the amount of catalyst or concentration of hydrogen peroxide also increases the reaction rate. Different catalysts have different effectiveness, with manganese IV oxide found to be more effective than iron III oxide.
This is a presentation about how to make a simple arduino based data logger. this data logger designed to measures and record temperature and humidity in secluded and distant area using bluetooth connection. feel free to ask question.
Rate of reaction is defined as the change in quantity of reactants or products per unit time. The average rate is calculated over an interval of time, while the instantaneous rate is the actual rate at a given time. Several factors affect the rate of reaction, including the total surface area and concentration of reactants, temperature, use of catalysts, and pressure for gaseous reactants. According to collision theory, the rate of reaction depends on the frequency and effectiveness of collisions between reactant particles, which must achieve the minimum activation energy and correct orientation.
The document discusses key concepts related to chemical reaction rates including:
- Collision theory which states that molecules must collide with sufficient energy and correct orientation for a reaction to occur. This is known as an effective collision.
- Factors that affect reaction rates such as temperature, concentration, surface area, and the use of catalysts. Increased factors lead to more collisions and faster reactions.
- Activation energy which is the minimum energy needed for molecules to react. Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy.
- Energy level diagrams which show reactants at a higher energy level than products for exothermic reactions, and lower for endothermic reactions.
The document describes an experiment conducted to measure relative humidity and temperature inside a plastic bag containing a plant over the course of an hour, recording measurements every minute. The results show that temperature inside the bag increased over time while relative humidity decreased. The document also poses several discussion questions about the relationship between humidity, temperature, and the plant's transpiration rate based on the experimental findings.
The document describes an experiment to investigate how the acceleration of an object moving down an inclined track is affected by the angle of the track.
The experiment uses a motion sensor, track, and cart to collect position, velocity, and acceleration data at different track angles. The results show that acceleration and velocity increase as the track angle increases, because the component of gravity parallel to the plane increases while the perpendicular component decreases.
The motion sensor allows accurate measurement of motion data, and the software provides real-time graphs for analysis and observation of changes, making the experiment quick to set up and repeat.
The document discusses the rate of reaction and factors that affect it. It defines the rate of reaction as the change in amount of reactant or product over time. It provides examples of suitable measurable changes that can be used to calculate rate such as concentration, mass, volume of gas, and temperature. It also discusses different ways to measure the rate of reaction including finding the average rate over a time period and instantaneous rate by taking the gradient of the graph at a given time. Finally, it discusses several factors that can affect the rate of reaction such as surface area, temperature, concentration, catalyst, and pressure.
This document discusses data logging, which involves collecting data from sensors over time using a data logger. Sensors measure variables like temperature, pressure, or pH and send readings to the data logger either wired or wirelessly. The data logger stores the readings until transmitting them to a computer for analysis. Examples given include monitoring patients in intensive care, collecting performance data from racing cars, and testing water quality. Factors like the logging interval and remote data logging are also covered.
This document is a preface to a collection of sermons titled "The Silence and the Voices of God". It was written by Frederic W. Farrar in 1874.
In 3 sentences:
1) The preface introduces the collection of sermons which explore the theme of how God speaks to humanity both through silence and through various "voices" such as conscience, history, and scripture.
2) It notes that while some live without questioning where they came from or where they are going, focusing only on material concerns, all people can attain holiness and redemption by listening for God's voice.

1) God speaks to us through Scripture, visions, dreams, angels, circumstances He orchestrates, our conscience, wise counsel of believers, songs/hymns, and spiritual gifts.
2) To hear God's voice requires having faith, a clean heart through confession of sin, worshipping Him, and applying Christ's lordship to all areas of life.
3) Scripture commands believers to listen for God's voice in order to know His will, deepen our relationship with Him, and understand His character.
1) Samuel learned to recognize God's voice after Eli instructed him to say "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening" whenever he heard God call his name.
2) It is essential for Christians to be able to discern God's voice from other noises in order to understand and do His will.
3) God speaks through Scripture, circumstances, dreams, visions, angels, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit like prophecy, wisdom and discernment. Maintaining a close relationship with God through prayer and obedience helps us recognize His voice.
The document discusses the role of personal religious experience and testimony in Mormonism. It notes that testimony serves as the foundation of Mormon belief and as an authoritative means of identifying truth. Surveys of Mormons showed that most reported being 100% certain that Joseph Smith brought the restoration and the Book of Mormon is true, attributing their certainty entirely to personal testimony received through prayer and spiritual experiences.
God speaks to His people in many ways, including audibly, through visions, dreams, angels, circumstances, and the conviction of our conscience. However, the primary way God guides us is through studying and meditating on His Word, the Bible. It is important to discern God's voice from other influences and not be deceived. We should seek guidance from dedicated Christians and apply the principles of Scripture to our lives daily.
The document contains a message from Prophetess Phyllis about God's plan for humanity. It states that God created humans to learn that we are wicked without God, and that our purpose is to bring peace, love and joy through serving God. However, humans often try to worship a god of their own making instead of the one true God. It encourages praying to seek God, accepting Christ's teachings, and following God's commandments. It asks where people and nations stand with God currently, and hopes readers will call on God and enter the new year seeking Him.
The document discusses how Ananias and Sapphira lied about how much money they received from selling property, seeking glory for themselves rather than giving glory to God. When confronted by Peter, Ananias died immediately and Sapphira died later after confessing. This brought great fear upon the early church. The Spirit works to empower believers' witness and correct pride, showing grace to those who seek Christ's glory but anger toward those who seek their own glory. The church succeeds when it seeks God's power for witness, unity among people, and purity by putting away sin.
The Gospel passages focus on Jesus revealing himself as the source of living water and salvation to those who believe. In John 4, Jesus reveals himself to the Samaritan woman at the well, offering her living water and salvation. In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind, revealing himself as the light of the world and Lord of the Sabbath. The Old Testament and Epistle readings provide context, with Exodus recounting God providing water from a rock, and Romans discussing how faith, not works, justifies believers and allows peace with God through Christ. The theme is that Jesus, through his words and works, opens the eyes of faith to see him as the source of eternal life.
Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are not considered true Christians based on their beliefs about Jesus and God. Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus was created and not God himself, contradicting the Bible which says Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. Mormons believe humans can become gods like Jesus, but the Bible says there is only one God and nothing created can become God. Key verses used by JWs to argue Jesus is not God are taken out of context and contradicted by other verses, showing Jesus as the creator and sustainer of all things, proving his divinity.
The document contains passages from the Bible discussing why Jesus spoke in parables. The passage from Matthew explains that some could understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven while others could not. It quotes Isaiah saying some would see but not perceive and hear but not understand. The document also contains songs of praise and testimony about God's favor.
The document discusses various topics related to origins including evolution, the age of the Earth, geology, and the Bible. It questions mainstream scientific views and presents alternative explanations. It suggests that facts should point to a Creator rather than purely naturalistic processes. The document encourages examining whether viewpoints have already assumed evolution is true or could fit with creation. It provides biblical passages about sin, salvation through Jesus, and turning to God.

God's word is life, it judges, it is powerful.
It is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, & training in righteousness to prepare us for every good work.
The document contains several Christian hymns and songs praising God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It affirms beliefs in God's power and salvation through Jesus, including his death and resurrection. The document closes with a reading from the Gospel of Matthew instructing followers of Jesus to lead humble, faithful lives and not to seek status or honor.
The document discusses how a person can be either selfish or sanctified in their speech, travel, appearance, desires, abstinence, preparation, and lifestyle overall. It suggests that one should sanctify themselves by setting themselves apart to serve, suffer, and sacrifice rather than living for selfish reasons. The document encourages the reader to follow New Testament instructions to become a sanctified saint through their actions, choices, and devotion to serving God and others.
Prayer with Fasting, The Fasted LifestyleButch Yulo
This document discusses prayer and fasting. It begins by recalling Exodus 19 where God appeared to the Israelites on Mount Sinai. It then shows pictures of Mount Sinai today, which is still burnt from God's presence. This establishes that God's glory was real.
It discusses how Jesus taught his disciples to pray to God as their loving Father. This was revolutionary since Jews never addressed God this way. Jesus also taught they could ask the Father for the Holy Spirit. The Lord's Prayer outlines all aspects of life.
The document contrasts prayer as talking to the Father, versus interceding before God as priests. It suggests intercession requires more earnest prayer, as seen in how Paul and others prayed fervently for
"Is the Tree of Life in the Bible a metaphor"? A conversation
Liz Marsh
13h ago
In Genesis, maybe the 7 days could be 7 periods of time, such as to the Lord a day is as a thousand years. The story of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil could have represented in story form a general human rebellion against God (still in process) as led by Lucifer as he whispered to them that God is a liar and did not want them to be what they could be, that is gods. It could have represented man can to go beyond Gods will. Because of this, God would have had to put some restrictions on mans access to eternal life with Him, as represented symbolically by the story of removing them from the Garden (the domain of God and the innocent) in which was that Tree of Life.
This document contains the text for a Catholic mass. It includes opening prayers and responses, readings from scripture, prayers of the faithful, preparation of gifts, Eucharistic prayer, communion rite, and closing. The mass celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and brings the faithful together in worship, prayer, and receiving the Eucharist.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

taittreya upanishad - tradition of yoga and Upanishads, this concept of panch...Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham
In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.

PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
2. The Three Witnesses’ Witness And we also know that they have been translated by the gift and power of God, for his voice hath declared it unto us; wherefore we know of a surety that the work is true… we know that it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, that we beheld and bear record that these things are true. And it is marvelous in our eyes. Nevertheless, the voice of the Lord commanded us that we should bear record of it; wherefore, to be obedient unto the commandments of God, we bear testimony of these things
