A new beginning part 2
Kelly Campbell's second installment of "A New Beginning" where he discusses how we should respond to this new present form of freedom in Christ. We should have a new attitude and a new perspective. Freedom gives us a new outlook.
Think With Sober Judgment
Romans 12:3: Paul’s instructions for our transformation begins with how we think of ourselves. Too often we think too highly of ourselves and so become selfish and useless to our God. When we think with sober judgment, we recognize that all that we are and all that we have are from God and we must use them to His glory. Thanks for Darrel Yontz ideas.

20120923_Its not what you do
This document discusses where a person gets their identity from. It argues that a person's identity comes from being a child of God and follower of Jesus. As a child of God in Christ, a person is accepted, secure, and significant. Several Bible verses are cited that discuss how those who are in Christ are accepted by God and brought into right relationship with Him.
Evangecube
This document presents the Christian view of salvation through Jesus Christ. It explains that all humans are sinners separated from God, but that God sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay the price for sins so that those who believe in Him can be forgiven and have eternal life in heaven rather than eternal punishment in hell. It encourages choosing to trust in Jesus for salvation, and living according to biblical principles like prayer, Bible study, fellowship, and sharing the gospel with others.
Prayer at Work
This document contains several Bible passages about prayer for children. It encourages children to pray boldly and ask God for anything according to his will. The passages suggest that God hears prayers, and will grant requests and meet needs. Children are taught to pray for others, including rulers and leaders, so that all may live in peace. Jesus promises that whatever children bind or loose on earth will be bound or loosed in heaven.
Church Sermon: Free of Charge
The document discusses that our salvation is a free gift from God, not earned through good works. It is a gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Christ paid the price for our salvation so that all people could receive the promise of eternal life through faith in Him. The conclusion exhorts the reader to not just accept Jesus as another gift, but to truly submit to His lordship over their lives by cherishing and adoring Him.
Becoming Best Friends With God
The document discusses how God wants to be our best friend and how we can develop a close friendship with Him. It states that through Jesus' sacrifice, we can now directly access God at any time. It encourages maintaining constant conversation with God by sharing all aspects of life, and continual meditation on His word through focused thinking about scripture throughout the day. Developing this close friendship is built through prayer and meditation.

The Role of Works, Faith & Grace in God's Salvation Plan
While some claim the above, some other believe argue that God chose the redeemed before the world began, and that redemption, therefore, is entirely unconditional.
So the question is do I need to meet any condition(s) before I’ll be saved? If yes, does this condition require effort, consistency and commitment?
The Four Spiritual Laws
The document outlines the four spiritual laws: 1) God created humans with purpose and love; 2) Humans became separated from God through sin; 3) God restored his relationship with humans through Jesus Christ, who died for their sins; 4) Individuals can know God's love by receiving Jesus as their savior and lord through faith.
2nd november 2015 the lords prayer
This document provides an analysis and summary of the Lord's Prayer. It discusses each line of the prayer, beginning with addressing God as Father in heaven and making his name holy. It then discusses asking for God's kingdom to come and his will to be done on Earth. The next parts discuss asking for daily bread, forgiveness of sins as we forgive others, and protection from temptation and evil. The overall message is that the Lord's Prayer is a model for how Christians should pray - with humility, seeking God's will and provision, forgiveness, and protection from sin.
The Real Thing
The document discusses a passage from Jeremiah 9:23-24. It summarizes that Jeremiah says people should not boast in their wisdom, strength, or riches. The only proper thing to boast in is knowing God, who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness. The document then provides seven ways for people to please God: 1) Know God's word 2) Know His creation 3) Pray 4) Be kind to others 5) Be kind to yourself 6) Seek justice 7) Live with integrity.
Colossians 3: 5- 7
The document discusses putting to death earthly desires and behaviors like sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and greed. It says these behaviors deserve God's wrath and that believers must set their minds on heavenly things and offer their bodies to God as instruments of righteousness. It encourages counting oneself dead to sin and alive to God through Christ to attain holiness and eternal life.
Everlasting Covenant: New Model
This document discusses the Old and New Covenants and the relationship between law, grace and the gospel. It presents an "evangelical model" of the covenants but argues this model misrepresents their unity in Scripture. It examines key Bible passages about God's eternal covenant of grace from the Garden of Eden through Noah, Abraham and Moses. The document explores how the Old Covenant law pointed to humanity's sin but grace came through Jesus Christ to reign in eternal life.
Vishaal Behl Presents.
The document provides guidance on how to accept Jesus Christ as your savior by believing he died for your sins and accepting his gift of salvation through faith. It explains that all people are sinners separated from God but that Jesus paid the penalty for sins, and salvation is received through inviting Jesus into your heart in prayer. The document encourages those who have accepted Christ to be baptized, tell others about their faith, spend time with God daily, and join a church community.
Fresh start 26
This document discusses how God offers everyone a fresh start and unlimited opportunities if they choose to follow Him. It explains that having faith in God means believing in Him even without seeing proof. It encourages the reader to pray sincerely and ask God to show Himself. Once one knows God is real and loves them, they are expected to repent of sins and believe in Jesus, whose death paid the penalty for sins. When one believes in God and Jesus, they will turn from wickedness and be baptized, growing in Christ by reading the Bible and focusing on the message of the cross.
1. God’S Way To Heaven
The document outlines the five key truths one must understand about God's plan of salvation: 1) God loves humanity and desires eternal life for all, 2) Humans have a sin problem separating them from God, 3) Jesus Christ is God's solution as the only way to heaven, 4) We must have faith in Jesus for salvation, 5) By having faith in Jesus, one receives eternal life as a gift. It provides biblical support for each point and encourages applying one's faith through prayer, Bible reading, and community.
09 turn their hearts
God desires our conversion and repentance so that we may be restored to a right relationship with Him. God takes the initiative through His grace to call us to repentance, but it is also our role to respond by repenting of sins, turning away from evil, and obeying God with all our heart. True repentance involves acknowledging sins, feeling shame and sorrow for wrongdoing, and resolving to sin no more. God wants us to willingly return to Him and obey out of love, not out of force. He provides the means of forgiveness and transformation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Good day 1
This document encourages the reader to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior in order to be saved from sin and death. It explains that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for humanity's sins, and that anyone who repents of their sins and has faith in Jesus will receive the free gift of eternal life. The document provides instructions for readers to sign and date to commit to accepting Jesus, and to write down names of people they will pray for to also be saved. It emphasizes reading the Bible daily and praying often to strengthen one's faith and walk with God.
17th September 2016 - Are Ones good works the result of Salvation
Good works are the result, not the cause, of salvation. While good works alone cannot save us, when one is saved they will be compelled by the Holy Spirit to produce good works. Salvation is a divine exchange where our imperfect righteousness is exchanged for Christ's perfect righteousness. Being born again through faith in Jesus changes one's heart and perspective to be oriented towards God, enabling them to live for Him and produce works that glorify Him. True good works flow from abiding in Christ and allowing His character to be reproduced in us.
Rick Warren Purpose Driven Life: Section 9
The document discusses 5 acts of worship from Noah's life that bring God pleasure: 1) Loving God supremely, 2) Trusting God completely, 3) Obeying God wholeheartedly, 4) Praising and thanking God continually, and 5) Using one's abilities. God delights in those who fear and trust in His unfailing love, and He looks for people with hearts like Noah who want to please Him.
The Epistles for Children (Part 1)
Salvation is a free gift from God that is received through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not earned through good works or merits of our own. All we must do is openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead to be saved. Once saved, faith must be nourished through regular intake of God's word. We are also called to respect others as God's creations, forgive those who hurt us, and find contentment through thanking God for what we have rather than what we lack. Though we are imperfect vessels, God's power is made perfect in our weakness and He wants to use us for His glory.
What is not in the Bible!
Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
10 remember do not forget
God insists that His people remember key things: His promises, past miracles, and deliverance from Egypt. If the Israelites forgot these things, they could stray from obeying God. Likewise, Christians should remember Christ's deliverance from sin. Everything we have ultimately comes from God, so we must not forget to be grateful. Sharing our experiences of God's faithfulness can strengthen others' faith.
02 covenant primer
God has made covenants with humanity throughout history to reveal the plan of salvation. The eternal covenant began with Adam and Eve and has been revealed through successive covenants including those with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the new covenant through Jesus Christ. The covenants all involve God taking the first step to save humanity through promises, and asking individuals to commit to obeying God in response to His grace and promises.
God Has A Plan 5 New Testament
The document discusses the concept of covenant in Christianity. It explains that a covenant is an agreement between parties that involves conditions, promises, and consequences. It summarizes how the Bible depicts God making covenants with humanity from the beginning and throughout Scripture, culminating in the new covenant established by Jesus Christ, in which believers are promised forgiveness of sins and an eternal relationship with God.
08 covenant law
This document provides an overview of the Everlasting Covenant between God and humanity. It discusses who signs the covenant initially and over time, the role and purpose of the Law in establishing the terms of the covenant, and how believers should approach keeping the Law. The key points are:
1) God first established the Everlasting Covenant and others, including Noah, Abraham, Jacob and later the people of Israel, signed it, committing to its terms.
2) The Law, as defined in the Ten Commandments and other commandments, statutes, and laws, establishes the responsibilities and limits that each party to the covenant must uphold.
3) The purpose of the Law is not to condemn but to guide
Purpose Driven Life - Day 9 What Makes God Smile
God smiled on Noah because:
1. Noah loved God supremely, walking closely with Him and prioritizing pleasing Him.
2. Noah trusted God completely, building the ark by faith despite never seeing rain and doubting circumstances.
3. Noah obeyed God wholeheartedly, doing everything exactly as commanded without hesitation.

A. God’s condemnation of the Jews: 1. Man’s unbelief cannot nullify God’s faith (vv. 1~4) 2. Man’s unrighteousness reveals God’s righteousness (vv. 5~8)
B. God’s condemnation of the whole world: 1. The whole world is under sin and corruption (9~18) 2. The whole world is under the judgment of the law (vv. 19~20)
C. God’s justification outside the law: 1. The basis of justification - the grace of God, the redemption of Jesus Christ (21, 23~26) 2. The method of justification - believing instead of obeying the law (22, 27~30) 3. The result of justification - the establishment of the law (v. 31)

Lawsuit - What God Requires from Me...
1) God accuses Israel of forgetting all that He has done for them, including delivering them from Egypt and sending leaders like Moses.
2) Israel responds by asking what they must do, and God replies that He requires them to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.
3) Living this way involves showing faithfulness, justice, and mercy to others, with a special focus on helping the needy and less fortunate. True religion is demonstrated through loving deeds rather than empty rituals and words.
Continual believing 25
This document discusses the importance of continual believing in God and Jesus Christ through one's lifestyle and actions, not just words. It states that true faith is demonstrated through obedience to God's commands and living a life that glorifies Him. While salvation is by grace through faith alone, one's works and fruits naturally flow from true faith and believing in God. The document encourages readers to rely on the Holy Spirit, abide in Christ, and continually renew their faith through reading the Bible.
What God has joined together, let not man separate
God has established certain orders and arrangements that should exist according to the Bible. This includes marriage being between one man and one woman, divorce being allowed only for marital unfaithfulness, faith requiring corresponding works, obedience being necessary for salvation, repentance necessitating baptism, professing faith requiring living accordingly, and faithfulness being essential for eternal life. The document encourages obeying what God has joined together as revealed in scripture to avoid eternal punishment and be saved by hearing, believing, repenting of sins, confessing Christ, and being baptized.
DWT - Lesson 7 Disciples with Distinction
1) Sanctification is a process of spiritual maturation that takes place over time through God's power, not our own efforts. It involves transforming all aspects of our being - spirit, soul, and body.
2) Holiness involves both separating ourselves from sin and dedicating ourselves to God. We are saved by grace, not works, but we are saved unto good works.
3) True holiness is a result of salvation, not a means of earning it. God demands an external witness of our internal holiness through good works.
Misunderstood sin laindon
This document discusses the sin of blasphemy from a Christian perspective. It provides several definitions of blasphemy, including speaking against God or bringing divine things into disrepute. The document notes that blasphemy is considered a very serious sin in the Bible, with some forms described as unforgivable. It discusses how blasphemy can occur through one's words or actions, and provides numerous biblical examples where people were accused of or warned against blasphemy. The document emphasizes that blasphemy dishonors God and causes His name to be profaned.
2009.9.13
The document outlines four lies that people believe and the corresponding biblical truths. The lies are: 1) That one can control their own life, when in reality we must rely on God's sovereignty. 2) That leisure and comfort are worthwhile pursuits, when God desires us to focus on his purposes. 3) That hidden sins don't hurt anyone, when all sins are exposed to God. 4) That we are the most important people in our lives, when we must love God with our whole being. The document encourages relying on God's sovereignty, prioritizing his work over leisure, seeking his forgiveness and wholeness, and loving him completely.

The Rich Young Ruler
Jesus tells a rich man who asks how to gain eternal life that he must sell his possessions and give the money to the poor. When the man hears this, he goes away sad because he has many possessions. Jesus felt love for the man but knew that his wealth was an idol that competed with his trust in God.

10-08-17, Exodus 20;1-17, Commanded, A Different Look At The 10 CommandmentsFirst Baptist Church Jackson
This document provides an outline and summary of a sermon given on Exodus 20:1-17 and the 10 Commandments. The key points discussed include:
1. The 10 Commandments affirm God's glory by reflecting his character of faithfulness, truth, and righteousness.
2. The commandments announce humanity's need for Christ since we fail to live up to God's perfect standards.
3. The law anticipates the power of the Holy Spirit to empower believers to obey God's commands through faith in Christ.Selfless 19
The document discusses living a selfless life focused on God rather than material possessions. It argues that one should yield completely to Jesus, love God and others unconditionally, and be thankful in all things. Living selflessly means focusing less on oneself and more on freely giving to others, as Jesus did the ultimate act of selflessness in sacrificing himself on the cross to save humanity from sin. The key is striving to manifest the fruit of the spirit - love, joy, peace and more - in one's life through renewing the mind with God's word.
02282024 Why did God give us free will_.pptx
The document discusses the concept of free will according to Christian theology. It provides three examples of areas where humans have free will: 1) to decide who or what to serve (God or other gods/idols), 2) to decide whether to obey or disobey God's commands, and 3) to decide between choosing life or death. It then discusses five theological positions associated with Arminianism: that salvation depends on faith, the atonement is sufficient for all but applied to believers, no one can save themselves without God's help, God's grace is the sole source of salvation but can be resisted, and God's grace enables believers to resist sin though salvation can be lost by turning away from God.

No regrets 22
The document discusses living a life without regrets by focusing entirely on what Christ has done and not looking back to your past sins. It encourages the reader to see themselves as a new creation in Christ, forget past sins, and press forward towards their divine destiny. The reader is advised to spend their time and money on God rather than worldly things, serve God completely with undivided loyalty, and live obediently by faith to please God rather than others.
Righteousness - get right with God
The document discusses the concept of righteousness from religious and historical perspectives. It explores how ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Aztecs, and Jews sought to achieve righteousness through works like sacrificing goods or people to their gods or strictly following religious laws. The document argues that righteousness cannot be achieved through works or laws, but only through faith in God. It explains that through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are made righteous by God and forgiven of their sins, rather than having to rely on their own imperfect righteousness. Maintaining faith in God's righteousness, rather than one's own works, is key to having hope, joy, peace and an assurance of acceptance with God.
Are You Pure?
The document discusses purity of heart and what it means to be approved by God. It provides examples from the Bible of people who were described as having pure hearts, including David and Jesus. It encourages readers to pray to have their hearts united in fearing God alone.

This document discusses arguments for religious pluralism and refutes them using biblical passages. It argues that insisting all religions are equally valid is itself a doctrine, and that while religions see partial truths, Christianity provides the full truth as revealed by God. It also argues that proclaiming Christianity is not arrogant but instead follows Christ's example of suffering to call others to repentance and righteousness.

Fish Guts
After being released by the chief priests and elders, Peter and John reported back to the other disciples what had happened. The disciples then prayed to God, quoting King David, asking why the nations and peoples plot against the Lord. They acknowledged that Herod, Pilate, and others conspired against Jesus as God had planned, and asked God to enable them to speak his word with boldness despite threats against them.
Why Fish
Peter and John are called before the rulers, elders, and teachers of the law to be questioned about healing a crippled man in the name of Jesus. When questioned about how the healing took place, Peter boldly declares that it was through the power of Jesus Christ that the man was healed. Peter tells them that Jesus is the stone that the builders rejected but is now the capstone, and that salvation can only be found through Jesus. The leaders are astonished by the courage of Peter and John, realizing they were ordinary men who had been with Jesus.
Three Gifts of Christmas
According to the document, there are three gifts of Christmas: 1) A life that is forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ, which brings peace with God, 2) A life that is forever, standing in God's grace through faith in Jesus, rejoicing in God's glory, and 3) A life that is fortified, where suffering produces perseverance, character, and hope.
A Savior Is Born
1) God sent his son Jesus into the world not to condemn it but to save it, and whoever believes in him will have eternal life rather than perish.
2) Jesus was born as a human and shared in humanity so that through his death he could destroy Satan and free humanity from slavery to the fear of death.
3) The angels announced Jesus' birth to the shepherds as good news that would be for all people, bringing salvation.
The Path Principle 6
The document discusses several biblical passages from 2 Samuel. It describes how Amnon became ill from his obsession with his half-sister Tamar. It then talks about King David kissing his son Absalom after summoning him, and how Absalom's conspiracy against David grew stronger as more people followed him. The document ends with a quote from David saying God can do whatever seems good to him as David sends the Ark of God back to Jerusalem during Absalom's rebellion.
The Path Principle 4
The document discusses the importance of seeking and heeding wise counsel according to biblical passages. It provides examples of both positive and negative outcomes that resulted from taking or rejecting advice. Specifically, it notes that Solomon's advice was to listen to counsel and many advisers in order to succeed in plans. However, Rehoboam rejected the advice of elders and instead listened to foolish young men, which led the people to rebel against his heavier burdens. The takeaway is that everyone needs wise counsel throughout life to reach their full potential.
The Path Principle 3
David encounters Saul alone in a cave and has the opportunity to kill him but refuses. David cuts off a piece of Saul's robe as proof but spares his life out of respect for Saul as the Lord's anointed. David appeals to Saul that he had chance to kill him but did not and leaves judgment of their conflict to God, vowing not to harm Saul himself.
The Path Principle
The passage warns of a seductive woman who lures men into her trap through smooth words and persuasion. She lies in wait at every corner to ensnare unsuspecting men. Once caught in her trap, they follow her lead without resistance, not realizing it will cost them their lives. The passage urges men to heed this warning and not let their hearts stray onto the paths of such women, as many have already fallen victim to her schemes.
The_Architect
The document discusses Jesus as the creator and sustainer of all things, who created everything visible and invisible. It then discusses how Jesus is the head of the church and will return to bring salvation. Finally, it discusses that Jesus is preparing an eternal home for believers in heaven and will one day return to destroy the current earth and heavens and make all things new, establishing a new heaven and earth without sin or death.
Blind Ambition
The people in Shinar decided to build a city and tower in order to make a name for themselves so they would not be scattered across the earth. God saw their tower and said that if they continued as one people with one language, nothing would be impossible for them. So God confused their language so they could not understand each other, scattering them across the earth and causing them to stop building the city, which became known as Babel.
Passing on Wisdom David Salisbury
Passing on Wisdom - The second message from our Friends & Family Day delivered by David Salisbury, minister of Lomax church of Christ.
Gods Game Plan
The document discusses how Jesus' crucifixion was planned and fulfilled God's purpose according to several Bible passages. It notes that Jesus was accredited by God through miracles but was handed over to be crucified, which Isaiah prophesied and Jesus himself spoke of giving up his life. The cross explains God's plan for Jesus to suffer and die to save mankind, as the Bible says he died for sinners while they were still powerless.
Wrestling_with_Yourself
Jacob sent his family and possessions across the Jabbok river, then wrestled alone with a man until daybreak. Though the man tried to leave at dawn, Jacob demanded a blessing first. The man told Jacob his name would now be Israel, because he struggled with God and men and overcame them. Jacob named the place Peniel, saying he saw God face to face and survived.
You_are_the_Light_of_the_World
Jesus tells his followers that they are like a light for the world to see, just as a city on a hill or a lamp cannot be hidden away. He encourages his followers to let their good deeds and faith shine outward for all people to witness, in order to bring praise and glory to God in heaven.
Made for a Mission
The passage discusses how God reconciled humanity to himself through Christ and gave believers the ministry of reconciliation. It says believers are Christ's ambassadors, implored to appeal to others to be reconciled to God. God wants believers to both serve other Christians through ministry and introduce unbelievers to God through their mission.
The Discipline of Weakness
The passage discusses how God uses weaknesses for his glory. It provides the examples of how God gave Paul a "thorn in his flesh" to keep him from becoming conceited due to great revelations, and how Paul pleaded three times for God to remove it but God said His grace is sufficient. Paul then boasted in his weaknesses so that Christ's power could rest on him. The passage goes on to say God delights in putting his power into ordinary containers and how people like Moses, Gideon and Abraham were considered weak but God used them. It suggests admitting weaknesses and being content with them as an expression of faith in God's power.
Created to become like Christ
The document discusses God's plan for humanity to become like his Son Jesus Christ. It says God created humans in his image but that image was lost, so Jesus came to restore it. God's goal is for people to develop godly character like Christ through renewing their minds, letting go of old ways, and adopting Christ's virtues. Becoming Christ-like is a gradual process that involves effort over a lifetime as one grows spiritually through faith, Scripture, and putting on the new self.
Journey with Jesus
This passage from the Gospel of Mark describes John the Baptist preaching repentance in the desert and baptizing people. It tells of large crowds from Jerusalem going out to hear John and be baptized by him. John warns that one more powerful than him is coming. The passage then describes Jesus' own baptism by John in the Jordan River, where he sees the Holy Spirit descend on him and hears God proclaim him his Son. Jesus then goes into the desert for 40 days, where he is tempted by Satan.
Made for Ministry
This document discusses how Christians are called to serve God through serving others. It provides several biblical passages that convey this message:
1) Ephesians 2:10 says we were created by God to do good works, which he prepared for us.
2) Colossians 3:23-24 says that when we serve others, we are actually serving God, and we will receive an eternal reward from him.
3) While salvation is not by works, we are saved for the purpose of serving God and others, according to his grace.
Christians are called to full-time service of God regardless of their career. They are chosen by God as a royal priesthood to declare his p
Transformed By Trouble
Problems are a normal part of life for Christians and God uses them to draw people closer to him. Problems force dependence on God rather than oneself and every problem is an opportunity to build spiritual character. While problems are difficult, God's plan is ultimately for good and to prosper believers, not harm them.

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.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

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.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
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.

The Power of Actions Slideshow by: Kal-el
This message, “The Power of Actions”, emphasizes just how powerful moving actions are and gives us strong actions of advice as to how we use to do with actions.
ACTIONS is EVERYTHING! They bless or they curse, lift up or known down,
embrace it or unbrace it!
THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
