FOREWORD

This book is a revised edition of my first book titled: "We Are Gods: Jesus Said So." That book is now being shutdown in all publication channels to be replaced by this book. The changes begin with the title. The phrase "Jesus Said So" is changed to "The Son Of God Said So". This is due to the recent learning of the author about the real name of our beloved Savior. Jesus is not his name. His name is a Hebrew name pronounced Yahuswa, which means YaHuWaH saves or salvation of YaHuWaH.

YaHuWaH is how the name of the Father was pronounced in Hebrew. It is spelled YHWH in English when transliterated from its Hebrew spelling in ancient times. This name has two popular pronunciations in modern times: Jehovah and Yahweh. These modern names lost the message that is with the ancient Hebrew name of the Father. The reader may wonder why the names should be changed in this book? The reason is that this is a salvation issue that no church as of this writing is willing to talk about. Chapter 15 is added to explain all these.

All references to the Father and the Son in this book have been changed to their Hebrew names. The changes have strong scriptural bases. In the book of Jeremiah chapter 23, verses 25 and 26 of the Old Testament, the Father in heaven complained about the prophets who cause his people to forget his name. The book of Joel chapter 2 verse 32 says, those who call on the name of YHWH shall be saved. This is repeated in the book of the Acts chapter 2 verse 21.

This complaint of the Father about causing his name to be forgotten continues to be defied until now. Even the name of our beloved Savior was changed, maybe because the name of the Father is in his name too. It looks like all religions of today lead us to the gates of hell instead of the way, the truth and the life.

This book reveals the contrast between the message of the scripture and the teachings of the world's religions. The Scriptures reveal how close God is to us, but our religions teach us to honor God with our lips but move our hearts away from Him. Our beloved Savior taught that we can do what he did if we have faith, but religion teaches us otherwise. Our beloved Savior said that we are gods and children of the most high, but the preachers say it is a sin to desire to be like God.
CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Your loved one dies. Friends console you saying, "It is God's will."

You watch TV. Suddenly, a newsbreak portrays loss of life and property caused by a tsunami, and someone beside you says "How terrible. This is wrath of God."

Another bad news comes. A father kills his family and commits suicide, and we utter "Oh my God."

Are these the will of our God? All our life we are told that everything is the will of God. Do you not sense something wrong in this teaching? Frankly, I do. For me, it is like accusing God of a crime he is prohibiting.

Our God is the God of the living, right? Right. Then there must be somebody else responsible for the deaths in this world. Okay, let us blame Satan. However, there are people who say that God created Satan. So, we go back to where we were before, blaming God again. If this is our attitude, don't you think we are worse than the atheist? The atheist does not blame God because he has no God. On judgment day who would you prefer if you were God? Those who do not know you but do not accuse you or those who say they know you but accuse you? The answer

is obvious. If the atheist changes his mind, he could go to heaven ahead of us.

Once my mother was talking about her sickness, old age and the manner of death she wants. Then she paused and asked me about the way I stared at her.

So, I replied: "I thought you believe in God." She said: "Of course I do. I asked her: "Why do you believe in the works of Satan?" She asked: "Which works?" I replied: "Sickness, aging and death, these are not of God." She smiled and said: "You go now. You'll be late for work."

Don't you think it is time we know who our God really is? How do we do that? Simple, seek Him. We should not depend too much on our hand-me-down religion. We know how to read, analyze and understand. Read your Bible. The words are simple and direct. It is not so technical. Some say the Bible is not complete. Correct! But can they finish reading all of it if it were complete? Others say, it was written only by men. Who do they expect to write for them, God? God inspired the Prophets to write the Scripture because we have unlearned the skill to read what God has written in our mind and heart in the beginning. God is presenting it to our five senses in case we are able to hear and see. In fact God is reaching out to us but the line is always busy. The prophets hear Him and they are sharing the experience.

There is another way of knowing God, aside from reading the Bible and any other sources you may deem appropriate. Many of us know this already. You are more like God than you could ever think. There is something inside that is divine. He is the original you. In other words, we can seek God inside and outside.

The worst mistake that we can so is to stop seeking Him, because actually there is no stopping; either we seek God or we turn away from God. We have only two choices. In other words, those who do not seek Him are really turning away. As we turn away from God, we go to the doG. The more we turn away, the more we feel as though He is not around. (Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.) Then we blame God for the consequences of our foolish choices. Our wrong use of a precious gift—the human will. At some point in time we blame God for not being with us. On the contrary, if we continue seeking God, the more we experience His presence and love, and the more easily we learn the right way to seek Him. However, God is always with us. As long as we live He is with us. Where, above us, before us, behind us, below or beside us? The most accurate answer is within us. (Luke 17:21 neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.) This is what this book is all about.

This book breaks the traditional presentation of references at the back of the book or at the bottom of the page. Bible references are written in line. They are italicized. The purpose is to make the information readily available as needed. It is strongly suggested that at the first time you read this book, read it in the sequence given by the table of contents. Every chapter is designed to prepare the reader for the next.
CHAPTER 2

THE WORLD OF CHAMPIONS

We all get depressed sometime. In one of my depressed moments, I remembered I was a champion. That is why I am here in the world of champions. We are all champions—no exception—all of us. If not, I could have not written these lines and you could not be reading them.

I remember I was once just as nothing as a microscopic single living cell. I found myself caught in a swimming marathon. There were thousands of us looking for another microscopic single living cell. The one we now call the ovum. We had to swim with all our might so that we can go faster than any one else. Now I could say I was the fastest, and I won the marathon. I found the ovum first and prevented the rest from getting near. The price for victory was life, because all the rest perished.

Only the ovum and I were left alive. The ovum and I were made of non-living matter: oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and traces of calcium, potassium and other minerals—non-living elements intricately arranged and designed into a cell by something that made the difference between us and the other lifeless elements around. That something felt like a light that made everything happen in a seemingly predetermined fashion. The ovum and I found us

unquestioningly obedient to the light. We did not know where the light came from. Where it was going and where it was leading us. The light made the ovum and I as one. There is no more distinction between the ovum and me. The ovum and I became a zygote—a single cell that floated in what seemed to be an ocean. I was led near what looked like a living wall. The light attached me to the wall.

The wall provided everything I needed to live in the moments that followed. By virtue of the light working from within me, I divided my self into many cells. The light with in me seemed to be dividing itself a little ahead of the way the cells did. Every time the center of light divided the result became cells. Millions and millions of cells were arranging themselves into tissues and organic systems. Suddenly I felt fluid rushing in rhythmic pulsating fashion bringing oxygen and nutrients all over me. The process was awesome and scary.

Then there came a pounding beat in my chest. My heart begun to function by itself, set by the pulsation of rushing blood thru my veins and arteries. I did not know how long the dream like process was. All I knew was that my own crying awakened me. I cried very hard. I did not feel like waking up from that dream. My awareness of this world came as a shock.

I was facing a world so alien and incomprehensible to me. I cried because of the shocking experience of being suddenly detached from the continuous supply of life's necessities. This time I had to take in food and oxygen by myself. I had to defend myself from the continuous assault of pollutants and unfriendly germs.

The light, however, has prepared me to face this world. The light that created me from inanimate substances; the light that gave me life and made me a champion is still with me. This is the light that the darkness has never and will never put out. (John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:5 And light shineth in darkness; and the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.) The light of life that never fails will never leave me. This light is in every one, every individual champion like you and me in this world.
CHAPTER 3

THE SILVER CORD

The story in Chapter 2 should give us an inspiring notion that we are all born champions. There is no reason in this world to get depressed, discouraged, feel defeated by failure, or feel desperately hopeless. In fact, our being here serves as a proof of our will to overcome and win, and that we passed the first impossible task. Impossible in the sense that the ratio of success to failure is one is to more than a million. This probability is lower than any lottery or game of chance ever invented. Despite that, we won.

The story also gives us more than a first hand experience of what Lazarus experienced when he came out of the tomb after being buried for 4 days (John 11:43 "Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!".) More than a first hand experience of that child who rose from death after Yahuswa told everyone around that she was only sleeping and commanded her, "Talitha cumi" (Mark 5:41-44 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, arise." ) More than first hand experience in the sense that Lazarus and the girl needed not start from scratch like we all did when we started from dust, practically lesser than the dust because we started from the atoms and molecules of non-living substances inside the womb.

The conception story is a concrete demonstration of Yahuswa's words saying: (Matthew3:9 and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham from these stones). The story is just another version of creation in Genesis when God breathed life into the dust to create Adam. (Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.). This is a clear demonstration that the word of God is alive, working, and will work in us just in case it is not working well anymore.

The story also gives an assurance that no one among us is left alone on this earth. Let the placenta teach us a lesson. That cord supply life's necessities to the fetus. It resembles the lifeline between the mother ship and the astronaut in a space walk. In the early days of space exploration the astronaut would die instantly if the lifeline snapped. Later on, the astronauts could stay alive on the moon without the lifeline for a while. On the contrary, we appear to be able to live for years without the placenta. Are we really living in this world without a lifeline? The answer is no. The placenta is giving us a hint that something has to connect us to the source to continue living. The placenta is just a material representation of a real lifeline—the Silver Cord. It is there as long as we live, and we live as long as it is there. (Ecclessiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Ecclessiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Ecclessiastes 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, all is vanity.)

When the silver cord is cut off, our physical heart stops beating. Darkness takes over every brain cell and every cell of every bit of our flesh. The Light is gone back to heaven and our body returns to what we were before: oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, etc. In other words, dust. What for? Is there any sense in this? Perhaps there is sense, but is there something more sensible than this? The Bible says: "Vanity of vanities,.......all is vanity." There is something with more sense than this. We can do more like we always do more than the man on the moon. We can do more. Our ancestors did. They lived longer than us. Some even went back to heaven without dying as Yahuswa, Enoch (Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.) and Elijah did. (II Kings 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.)
CHAPTER 4

THE WORD

The lecturer in one of the seminars I attended once asked us: What is the driving force in our life? The attendees were divided into two groups and were told to discuss the matter during break time. There should be one representative for each group who should present in front the answer agreed during the discussion at break time.

The seminar resumed and the lecturer called on the representative of each group to present what had been discussed and agreed. It turned out that everybody discussed everything else except the assigned task during break time. So, the lecturer asked for volunteers. I volunteered for my group. The driving force in my life is the Word. The word John was talking about in the first chapter of his gospel. I told them to read the gospel according to John for details about the driving force in my life. After my short piece, the lecturer went a little further to reinforce what I stated by quoting the verses from the gospel cited. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.. John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:5 And light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There were still many things I wanted to say. I did not elaborate much because I did not want to steal the show from the lecturer. The word that I was referring to was the same word Yahuswa was talking about in the desert when he told Satan: "....,Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matt 4:4) The same Word that went out of the mouth of God when He said: "...., Let there be light:....." (Gen 1:3). The same Word that came out of the Father's mouth saying: "....., Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,......" (Gen 1:26) This is the same Word that raised Adam, and all of us from the dust. The Word makes the difference between the cell and the molecule; the difference between the living and the non-living thing; the driving force behind the protoplasm. This is the same Word that raised Lazarus from death; the Word that healed the lepers and the sick; the Word that opened the eyes of the blind and the mouth of the dumb; the Word that lights the center of our cells; and the Word that gives life to every bit of our flesh as long as we believe and have faith as strong and as great as that of Yahuswa, Enoch (Gen 5:24) and Elijah (II Kings 2:11).

The Word that lights my cells and gives life to every bit of my flesh has been with me since my birth. Unfortunately, for four decades, I did not know him well. I did not even seek Him. I only remembered him when I was not feeling well. One way or another, my behavior told him to step aside and give me a break. I could do this myself. I could manage. However, the Word did not give in. How lucky I have been. The Word knew I did not know what I was doing. If the Word backed down, I would have not reached this age. My heart would have stopped beating a long time ago.

Once, my dog in the house barked at me as if I was a stranger. I got mad, fiercely mad. If I had a pistol in my house I could have shot the dog for not knowing his master. The dog does not recognize the master that provides him food to eat. That dog deserved to die. However, I remembered acting like the dog for so many years. All those years, I did not recognize the master that gave me not only food to eat, but gave me no less than my life and every thing I need in order to live. I remembered Yahuswa saying: "Do not give what is holy to the dogs, they will only turn and attack you." (Mat 7:6).

Yes, God forgive me, I acted like a dog for so many years. Not only did I not seek him, I forsook him. I crucified Him. Every time I used my mind to think against my neighbor; every time I hated my neighbor; every time I used my tongue against my neighbor; every time I hurt my neighbor; every time I cheated my wife, I crucified Him in my heart and in my mind, because He said: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." I used all my blessings to curse other people. I was really against him since He said: "those who are not with me are really against me."

Yahuswa also said: (Mat 12:30) "Those who do not help us gather is really scattering." In fact I was really scattering His people away from Him since I did not help Him gather in anyway. I did not use my blessings to bring glory to the kingdom.

Another question ask of us to answer in the seminar was, what image or metaphor can you cite to represent you in this life? Another volunteer before me cited the vine. (John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,

the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 16:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they are burned.) All I had to do was to reinforce it. I said, I am just a very small branch in the vine, as small as a drop of water in an ocean. However, I, as small as I am, am not forgotten, but in danger of being cut off from the vine if I do not change my ways. Once cut off, I will be withered and cast into the fire.
CHAPTER 5

THE UNENDING DEBATE

Since I was small, I have been hearing argumentations, controversies, debates and even ordinary discussions on whether Yahuswa was Man or God. This controversy will never end as long as there are people who insist that Yahuswa is man and there are people who insist that He is God. Either point of view will lead to nowhere. Happy are those who embrace both points of view for they are on the way to enlightenment. Yahuswa was both man and God.

If Yahuswa was not man why did he always refer to himself as the Son of Man? (Mat 16:27). Yahuswa never called himself the Son of God (Luke 9:22). It was the devil who always called Yahuswa the Son of God. (Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, if thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread). During the temptation in the wilderness, Yahuswa replied to the devil by referring to himself as man. (Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.) Nathanael (John 1:49) called him the Son of God, but again he said: (John 1:51) "you will see heaven open and the angels coming down to and from the Son of Man." Those who saw his miracles, even the evil spirits named Legion (Mark 5:7) whom

Yahuswa sent to the herd of pigs, called him the Son of God, but every time they did, Yahuswa asserted his being the Son of Man. What do you think? If Yahuswa was not man, would the devil tempt Him?

Would He feel hungry and thirsty like we all do? If He was not man, would he suffer, bleed, and die for three days? Think again. He went out of the womb as a child like all of us, and then matured into a full-grown man to perform the purpose of His lifetime on earth. He was man.

On the other hand, many times His godliness was questioned, but he responded to prove his detractors wrong. The Jews tried to stone Yahuswa when he said: "I and my Father are one". Yahuswa asked them for which of his good works are they trying to stone him. (John 10:33 the Jews answered him, saying, for a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.) The Jews tried to stone him because he was making Himself a God. (John 10:34 Yahuswa answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?) (John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken ;) (John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the son of god?) (John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.) (John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.) (John 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand.) Allow me to say the verses in modern English. "Is it blasphemy for me to say that I am the son of God? It is very obvious in these Bible verses that Yahuswa

was asserting his being God. That it was not blasphemy for him to make himself equal to God.

What is it really that Yahuswa wanted us to believe or to see? Why Yahuswa insisted on his being God in one circumstance, but emphasized his being man in another. Is it not obvious? It is, isn't it? If it is obvious to you now, you can skip to the next chapter, but if it is not, please read on. Let us go back to the Old Testament for a while. (Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.) In this verse, it is very plain to see and understand that the image and likeness of God is in man. God did not qualify what kind of image, be it a lesser God or just an approximate likeness. He said, "Image and likeness" period. Do you think God was talking about a mediocre kind of image and likeness? This was God's most valued creation, His masterpiece. He was so preoccupied and enjoying so much every moment. He was not joking. He was very serious. He was putting all His love into it.

God is not capable of making poor craftsmanship. He is perfect and a perfectionist, so we do not mess with Him about His creation even in our thoughts. Let us take another verse relative to this. (Genesis 1:27 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.) The dust of the ground became the flesh (the Man) that clothed the image of God (the breath of Life) that is inside. What do you think? Did God do it himself? In a way, yes, but more specifically, God did it thru the Word, who is also

the Light, who is also the Christ, who is also the good Shepherd, who is also the Lamb, who is also the Messiah, who is the breath of life, who is the image and likeness of God, who is in every man, and who is in Yahuswa, who was speaking to Adam, who gave the commandment to Moses, who is talking to you now from inside of you if you can hear Him, every time you show mercy and forgive your neighbor. In other words, Yahuswa was the man who clothed the Christ that was inside. That is why He is called, Yahuswa the anointed one.

So that was it, in one circumstance he was talking about his flesh body when he says, "the Son of Man". In another circumstance, he would refer to the Christ in Him when he said, "the Father and I are one". Yahuswa does not want us to look at him as either man or God, but both man and God. If we look at Yahuswa as purely man, we are canceling the God in Him. This will make us vulnerable to the hoax of the false prophets. On the other hand, if we look at Yahuswa as purely God, we are canceling the man in Him. This will only lead us to look at Him as an ideal being, impossible to be emulated.

Yahuswa is both God and Man. He is the model of perfection. He is a man of perfection who almost changed his mind when he said, (Mark 14:36 "Father take this cup away from me if you will", but made up his mind and said, "let your will be done not mine"). He is an inspiration to be emulated. (Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.) Wait a second. Can we really emulate Yahuswa? Why not? Let us find out in the next chapter.
CHAPTER 6

OUR PURPOSE ON EARTH

Once, I found my self in a group prayer. The leader said: "Lord Jesus, please save me. I cannot save my self because I am not the Son of God. You, my Lord Jesus, are the only Son of God, please save me, save us." I lost my concentration by the phrase "I am not the Son of God". If he is not the Son of God, whose son is he? Are not all of us sons of God, though we were born of man? We are all sons of God, by virtue of the image of God that is inside of us all.

It is good to put all our faith in Yahuswa, but not in the sense that we look at Him as purely God and separate our selves as purely man. So much so that one can just say: all right God, I just can't do it. But thank you very much for sending your Son. He'll do it for me. I'll just watch. Is that it? Just like that?

Yahuswa came into being to illustrate clearly how man can manifest and radiate the image of God that is inside—inside everyone, no exception. Conversely, the soul of Yahuswa was able to make man (Yahuswa) in the image of God (Christ). He was able to do the original task, the first command in the beginning: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." He was talking to you, to me, to all of us. That is why God said: "Let us..." He did not say I will. God said, "our image", not my image, "our likeness", not

my likeness. We were there in the beginning when we were still spirits of God.

God divided himself and created the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was also God. (John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.) Then the Word created the light and the universe. Then the Word divided himself into us. Then He told us the original task, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." It was not anymore God talking to us directly. It was the Word talking to us—the vine speaking to the branches. (John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.) (John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.)

And so, Adam divided himself into Eve, but they messed with it, and made man a lesser God. Adam and Eve became one and continued to break bread into Cain and Abel. Cain messed with it again. Instead of making man in the image of God, he killed Abel. Despite it, Adam and Eve continued to grow the vine and shared the wine.

The breaking of the bread and the sharing of the wine continued (Matthew 1:17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.) for fourteen generations from Abraham to David; for fourteen generations from David to Babylon; and for fourteen generations from

Babylon to Yahuswa. Yahuswa symbolically, re-enacted it in the Last Supper. Yahuswa broke the bread and called it his "body". He shared the wine and called it his "blood". The church symbolically re-enacts it in baptism, marriage, and communion. We do it again every time we fall in love and get into marital union. Every one of us did it again in the mother's womb, on and on, from then until now. The original task remains the same: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." That is our purpose in this earth.
CHAPTER 7

GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN

"If you leave me now you take away the greatest part of me", goes the song of Chicago. This song became very popular because it reflects the feeling that goes with losing a part of you. What do you think happens if we turn away from Christ? He said: "I am the vine you are the branches." (John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 16:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.) That means we are part of His body. If you lose even your little finger, it hurts. It hurts God losing even a single branch. Everyone loves his body. The same with God, he loves his body and does not want to lose any part of it—us. He does not want to lose the pieces of bread that he broke for us—not a drop of wine that He shared with us.

If you lose your finger and replace it with another one's finger what happens? Your body rejects it. Your body will always reject any replacement part or organ like the heart, kidney, or any part, which is not originally yours. The same with Christ, the Lord does not want to loose you because the vine will reject any replacement branch from another vine. The danger is

the difference between the vine and our body. If any branch insists on turning away, that branch can be cut off. (John1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—) It is always possible for God to replace it with a branch, which although coming from another vine is willing to do what He requires: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."

Now, do you see what I see? I mean are we looking at the same scenario from the same point of view? If you see what I see, fine. If not, let me share with you my view of God and man. If you agree with me, fine. If not, thank you for giving me this chance. Let us review it again.

God divided himself into the Word. Then the word created the universe. (John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.) The word divided himself into us, as numerous as the stars in the sky. Then the word said: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." No other creature in this world has been given this command. Only us, the branches of the vine, the divine spark in every physical manifestation of the human soul have been given the task of making man in the image and likeness of God. The dust and we became man, as perfect as Adam and Eve before they messed with it. The spiritual division continued, as the cell division of every living cell. In my case, I divided my spirit and communed with my wife Vilma. We became one and we divided our oneness into our daughter Aleah. Someday, Aleah will unite with her loved one, and divide themselves into their children, and so on and so on. Although we have become lesser Gods, the spark of the divine still strives in our

flesh, in every nucleus of our cells. That spark is us inside every man that clothes us, the man that is with us and should be the same as us. The original task remains the same, and it is still addressed to all of us.

The divine spark is still shining. The problem is that we have been used to the dark that we cannot comprehend the light anymore. (John 1:5 And light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.) "If you do it always, it becomes natural to you", the saying goes. We have been disobeying God, hiding from God like Cain did, and even rejecting him that we have unlearned the ability to connect to Him. We have unlearned our communication skills with God, our senses have been dulled that we can hardly feel his presence anymore—and now we ask God where are you when I needed you most? What do you think will the Father in heaven and His only Son feel about this?

God gave us his image and likeness, and continues to sustain the light by means of the silver chord, but our senses have become numb for us to feel His presence inside of our being. What God did was to appear before our 5 senses. God even talked to man. Man continued to play hide and seek. How can man hide from the God who is already inside him? We have become like a chain smoker who found the habit difficult to learn at first, but now has been hooked by the habit and can not get rid of it. God is doing everything to talk to us, but we have learned a different language now. We even have become unworthy to talk to God face to face, even to his Angels. God is still very much around and within, even the Angels, but we have unlearned the ability to see, hear, and feel Him and his Angels. Our "hide and seek" habit has become an integrated part of our

bodily system. Our bad habit has become our character. Since we do it always, it has become natural to us. This made the Angels and the message of God unnatural. What was natural before has become unnatural. Now we call it supernatural. Against this background, God still loves us as his children.

He is still trying to wake us up from our deep slumber. God loves you and me. He is always ready to forgive. He is insisting can't you see?

Thanks be to God.
CHAPTER 8

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST

God speaks in numbers. The Old Testament dedicates one whole volume called the book of Numbers. God has favorite numbers like the 7th day, 14 elders, 12 apostles, the 7 churches, 3rd day, 40 days and nights, and so on. The most intriguing number in the Bible is the number of the beast that is 666 in the book of Revelation.

Six hundred and sixty six, according to revelation is the number of a man. This number has been known to be the number of the anti Christ. When I first encountered this number in my readings, I immediately wondered what is the number of Christ then if 666 is the number of the anti Christ. Since, according to Revelation, the number calls for wisdom, I tried playing with the numbers applying the little skill I learned from numerology, an interesting branch of Astrology. I used to practice translating my name and names of friends and interesting persons to numbers based on the ancient Chaldean table and find meanings deeper than what meets the eyes. Here is the result of applying numerology to 666. 6+6+6=18; 1+8=9. As far as I know and remember, the number 9 means aggressiveness, conflict, war, and man.

In my search for the number of Christ, I stumbled on

the Genealogy according to Mathew 1:17. It said: "So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations." There are three fourteens in this passage. So, I tried adding up, 14+14+14=42, 4+2=6. It looks like I found the number of Christ. The number is 6, the number of love. It appears also that 6 (Christ and incidentally happens to be the number of love) is the exact opposite of 9 (Antichrist).

God so loved man that He created him on the 6th day—6 being the number of love. God is love, goes one popular saying, and because of this love, God created man in his image. Then God let man live on earth to live his everyday life on this earth within:

24 hours a day; 2+4=6

60 minutes an hour; 6+0=6

60 seconds a minute; 6+0=6

The earth from where the dust was raised into man revolves around within the time presented above and completes a 360 degrees rotation—3+6+0=9. God breathed life and love (6) to the dust (9) and the dust became a living a soul. In numbers, God added 6 (love) to 9 (earth) and said: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." We can visualize the miracle in modern mathematical scheme:

The triangle labeled 6 is the love of God reaching down to earth. The triangle labeled 9 is man raised by God from the earth. The intersection is the living soul of man. The intersection is shaped like a diamond. That means man is like a jewel in the eyes of God. Who among us want to loose a diamond? God, like us, does not want to loose any of His diamonds—us.

What is happening now is the dust (9) that has become our flesh is pulling us down towards the earth. While the love (6) of God is trying to raise us back to heaven. The intersection is partial. The image of God (6) is inside and being clothed outside by man (9). The intersection must be full to achieve eternal life—perfection. God has started the story of perfection. The rest of the story depends on our acceptance. This is what Yahuswa did. Yahuswa demonstrated perfection by fully accepting and receiving the love of God. Yahuswa said: (Matthew 5:48) "You must be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect. (John 14:12)You can do what I have done, even greater."

The Star of David can represent that perfection:

(Revelation 22:16 "I, Yahuswa, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.") The Star of David is the full intersection of the two triangles. The diamond becomes a star, a Superstar. This perfection can also be represented by the equations 6 + 9 = 15; 1 + 5 = 6. This is also the meaning of "Thy will (6) be done on earth (9) as it is in heaven" of the Lord's Prayer.

Making man in our image is turning the diamond into the star of David. Yahuswa did it, and we have no reason not to. Do not say you can't because you are not a son of God. Whose son are you anyway? (1 John 3: 1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.) Enoch and Elijah did it.
CHAPTER 9

THE SOUL

Genesis 2:7 states: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." On that day, the Spirit and the soul were one and the same, as the branch of the vine is with the vine, and the same as the vine. They were perfect, as perfect as the maker that made them. However, the soul has devolved from perfection to what it has become. Her power to hold the dust and Spirit together has waned by his constant misuse of mental and emotional choices. How could wrong choices weaken the soul of man? Wrong choices weaken the soul by violating the laws of karma and reincarnation. These laws govern the state of the soul.

The dictionary defines karma as the force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine his destiny in his next existence. Transmigration here means going from one state of existence or place to another.

Let us talk about karma first. If you are a scientist, Newton wrote about it in his Principia. "Every action has equal but opposite reaction." If you read the Bible, it is there. "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye." "What you sow shall you reap." That is why the

second tablet of the Ten Commandments forbids us to steal, kill, and commit adultery, etc. because all our deeds will only come back to us. Our deeds indeed came back to us many times. The last hour almost came if not for Yahuswa who received all our karma for us. What about reincarnation?

Reincarnation is obvious in the verses of the Bible. Genesis 4:15 And the Lord said unto him (Cain), Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. Genesis 4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. If we only have one-life time as what most religions teach us, how could we repay our murder seven or seventy seven times? Is the Bible joking? We know it is not joking. It does not play with words like most of us do.

In the first and second books of the Kings, there was a very powerful prophet named Elijah. He ascended into heaven before the eyes of his appointed successor, Elisha. He was mentioned in Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord; and he reincarnated into John the Baptist and opened the way before the lord. Yahuswa spoke highly of him. Matthew11:7 And as they departed, Yahuswa began to say unto the multitudes concerning John,. . . .. . Matthew 11:10 for this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. . . . . .Matthew 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come. This is another example of reincarnation.

Another example is this passage: John 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? John 9:

3 Yahuswa answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. The question tells us about the teaching that a man can be born blind for the sin of his parents. That means man receives the karma of his parent's sin. It also tells us that a man can be born blind by his own sin. This question however, would be absurd without the concept of reincarnation. How can man be born blind by his own sin? Can a man commit sin before he is born? However, Yahuswa answered them as if there was nothing wrong with the question. The question (seemingly absurd to our present religious orientation) was acceptable to him. Indeed it was acceptable to Yahuswa because he himself was the reincarnate of Elisha, the student of Elijah in the second book of the Kings.

There are two kinds of karma, good and bad. If one continues to create good karma by doing well, he goes up the spiritual ladder. He draws himself more and more to God. He moves and returns to perfection. (Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.) The more he becomes perfect, the more he regains the ability to communicate with God, the more he manifests the God in him, and Godly powers go with it. This is the real meaning of Immanuel—God is with us. If man becomes perfect, he frees himself from the continuous cycle of deaths and rebirths. This is the true meaning of freedom. Yahuswa said "Seek the truth and the truth will set you free."(John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."). By the law of polarity, there is also bad karma. Man goes down the spiritual ladder. The memory of wrong choices becomes a negative karmic force that drives man to

more and more wrong choices. Man weakens his mental and emotional powers, and his physical body follows. He becomes more and more oblivious of his Godly nature. Karma sets the stage of making him face the consequences of his wrong choices. Man weakens his mental and emotional powers, and his physical body follows. He faces the people previously offended by him. Worse, people with negative karma tend to gravitate together. The collective negative karma becomes sufficiently strong to set up natural calamities. Nature gives in to man's ill wishes. The vicious cycle of negative karma is established.

In other words, God sat up paradise in the beginning. It is man's will that his soul devolved down to his present level. By his own will, paradise retrogressed into near hell as it is today. This is not the will of God. This is the will of man—the will of the dust—the 666. The will of the Lord is Life not death. The will of the Lord is Love not hatred. The will of the Lord is freedom not bondage. The will of the Lord is light not darkness. The will of the Lord is happiness not sadness. Many religions of this world have successfully removed karma and reincarnation from the consciousness of man. That is why most of us blame God or ask God why if something goes wrong. (Matthew 15:14" Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.") That is how many of our churches alienate us from our God.

Ecclesiastes talks about the Spirit that goes back to heaven and the "dust" that goes back to the earth. It looks like we are missing something. The scriptures say God breathed into his nostril and man became a living soul composed of our mind, emotion, and memory. The breath of God is the Spirit that goes up.

What happens to the living "soul" that Genesis talks about? The soul who has not attained perfection cannot go with the Spirit back to heaven. (Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.) The soul slips away from the flesh as the latter goes back to the ground where it was taken from. By the grace of the Word, the soul with his mind, emotion and memory is suspended between the Spiritual realm and the physical universe, and waits for another chance to redo what he has failed to do—to make man in our image, after our likeness. This chance is the grace of Christ who interceded when the Father said: "the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Yahuswa our Lord.) Everyone who is not perfect will have the chance to go back again and again until the time is up.

Another opportunity comes. Two people on earth fall in love and decide to become one. Marital union is like baking bread. In this case, there are two people baking bread, and the ingredients are the mind, emotion, and the memory of the bakers. At dinner, the bakers invite another soul to take part, and then they break bread. The wine is the Holy Spirit that freely flows thru the Silver Chord of the bakers, and they share the wine. This is the spiritual side of another Eucharist. Thousands like this happen every second around the world. The physical manifestation is the fertilization of the ovum and the sperm into a zygote. Then the zygote continues to break into trillions of cells. The resulting human person becomes a combined characteristic of three souls plus the Holy Spirit that gives life. The invited soul becomes initiated with his renewed assignment—"make man in our image, after our likeness."

How does the newborn inherit the sins of his parents? The karmic memory of the souls of the bakers dilutes with the karmic memory of the newly baked bread—the newborn. This new life finds himself facing his own and his parents' karma. Is this fair? Yes, it is fair because at that spiritual level, the soul chose the bakers that baked his kind of bread. He knew the ingredients, and they match his own karmic responsibilities. He even chose the time and place.

There were millions to choose from all over the world. This was his choice. He accepts the invitation of the couple that offered his kind of bread. Then he is born and temporarily forgets everything that happened. As he opens his eyes on the physical world, the memory waits for the brain to grow and accommodate the information. However, the memory (karma) continually exerts a force that defines his character and destiny.

In the case of Yahuswa, his soul chose the two clean souls of Joseph and Mary. The ingredients were pure and matched his karmic responsibilities on earth. As he grew into a man, he continued to please the source of the wine that gives life to the flesh that clothed him. The wine owner was so pleased that He called him His only Son. Yahuswa was able to redo the original task—"make man in our image, after our likeness."

Now, He sits at the right hand of the Father. The word that was with God and the same as God is now with God and the same as God. The vine is still attached to us, the branches. The branches that cannot be different from the vine, but aside from being with the vine, can only be the same as the vine.

Remember Emmanuel. Remember Genesis. Remember Yahuswa said: (John 10:34 Yahuswa answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods?) "It is written in your own law; I said you are all Gods." Amen.
CHAPTER 10

THE MIND

It is all in the mind, goes the saying. Another saying tells us that the body obeys the mind or mind over matter. This mind can make us healthy or sick. This is the cause of hypochondria or psychosomatic illness. The power of the mind to make or unmake a champion or any ordinary man, is now well recognized in athletics. The mind can heal the most serious disease or accelerate the patient's trip to the grave.

Highly successful people are at the top because they believe they can get there. Their doctors technically killed many of these types of people by orienting their strong minds toward the grave. Just by telling them the seriousness of their ailments accelerates their death many times faster than not knowing about it. Their doctors could have served them better by orienting their minds to the fact that the physical body can heal itself. Many of these doctors do not believe in this approach because they never tried it in the first place. Or if they tried, their own doubt defeated any attempt to strengthen the positive power of their patient's mind.

David Copperfield said that the power of the mind is limitless. People call him an illusionist. They consider him to be skilled in defying or confusing common sense. The fact is that the common sense of disbelief will naturally be confused by the power of belief and

faith. Common sense like any thing can work both ways. It can establish the truth or a lie and seed it deeply in our memory. This world has given us a wrong common sense. This is the common sense that the mind can only work within the physical body and not on the circumstances that surround it. Copperfield exhibited it by bending steel, igniting matchsticks, and lighting bulbs without touching them. We do not believe it. We are determined to stick with the falsity that this world has programmed us to believe thru our common sense.

Yahuswa demonstrated the power of the mind by withering a fig tree. (Matthew 21: 21 Yahuswa replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.") He calms a storm by rebuking the winds and the raging waters. (Luke 8: 24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples.) Yahuswa always admonished the disciples against doubt, fear, unbelief and lack of faith. (Matthew 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.) He always cited the faith of the healed. (Luke 17: 19 Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well.").

He emphasized that healing depends more on the faith

of the sick. (Matthew 8:13 Then Yahuswa said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour.) Yahuswa even told us that if we asked anything in a prayer, we should believe that we have received and it will be ours (Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you,whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.) Look what we did to him for telling the truth. We are unable to accept the message. Our mental habits and the common sense of this world have established a mental block of doubt and fear. This negative mental framework can even block the power of God, as demonstrated by Peter when he sunk while walking on the water with Yahuswa. (Matthew 14:30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" 31 Immediately Yahuswa reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?")

If this is the power of the mind, what could keep us from using it to get what we want? We want to live a long, healthy and happy life, but we all get sick, get old and die. Aside from karma, our mind has been programmed to believe in sickness, aging and death. The mind is the software and the brain is the computer. The mind can be rewritten to reprogram the brain. How? By constant practice we can reprogram the mind to regain self-confidence and faith. What kind of faith? The mind must regain the faith in its own power to create or destroy, to make or unmake, to be healthy or to be sick, to stay young or get old, and therefore, to live forever or to die.

Champions are born, but none of them attained the championship by just sitting and waiting for the trophy

to come. Practice makes perfect. What kind of perfection? Perfection is the complete integration of the mind, emotion and physical body. The emotion loves the sport. The mind goes with the emotion. The physical body improves its performance. The improvement strengthens the mind's faith and belief. The faith and belief power the physical body to exceed its previous performance, and so on and so on. The system develops into a synergistic cycle of attaining a feat previously impossible. Dedicated practice focuses the mind to the goal. It makes the mind forget about past failures. Past failure is the mother of all doubts and fears. Doubt and fear are stumbling blocks to success and eternal life.

The mind can be trained for positive streams of thought, or can be programmed for destructive mental agenda. My mind was programmed for the latter since I was born. I was always told that when I get wet in the rain I would catch cold. I believed it, so every time I got wet I caught colds, overlooking the fact that there are people around getting wet without catching cold. My mind was programmed to believe that I was born with weak lungs, weak digestion, and weak physical constitution. Consequently, my body obeyed what my mind believed. I became a mobile medicine cabinet. I had antibiotics, antacid, aspirin, oral enzymes, etc. in my pocket almost all the time. I did not trust my body, because I did not know its ability to defend and heal itself. I did not know I was rejecting the image of God in me that makes me alive. My mind effectively blocked my body's immune system, and allowed all the common diseases from simple colds to diarrhea every month to haunt me.

I began to develop the habit of frequenting clinics and

hospitals. The bad habit almost fired me from my job. However, I observed that as I kept on going back to hospitals and clinics, I began to develop acquaintances, to the extent that it was possible to put up a society of the sick and the dying. I also noticed in our conversations that we have a common stream of thought. We are getting sick, getting old and going to the grave, and we seem to enjoy the idea. Without our consciously knowing it, we all became members of an informal association—the hypochondriac society. While I was caught in this belief system, I read the book entitled: "I Am Joe's Body" by, Dr. Joe Ratcliff. The book opened my eyes for the first time to the miracles inside the human physical body. At that time I was only 99 lbs at the age of 25, lighter than my girlfriend (now my wife) who was 110 lbs at the age of 23. I was brave enough to smoke and drink, but I was afraid to exercise. During that time, I was also beginning to open the pages of the New Testament and found comfort in its verses.

So, I learned that my body heals itself. Another book by Dr. Passwater, entitled "Super-nutrition" told me how to support the self-healing process. However, my hypochondriac mind was still resisting. This was where the teachings of the book "90 Days to Self-Health" by N. Shelley came in. The book taught me how to reprogram my mind by autosuggestion. The program simply told me to make positive suggestions and imagination 3 times a day. I made simple instruction like: "I am getting better and better every day". I read the New Testament given to me by my friend at sunrise and at bedtime. My body responded and I was surprised to gain weight from 99 to 145 lbs, in only 2 months. In the process I developed a positive outlook in life. Brighter and better things

gradually replaced the dark and wicked things in my mind. At that time I have proved the power of the mind in working from within the body.

However, can we really influence the circumstances around us as what Yahuswa did? Yahuswa said we can (John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.). When I was small we had a neighbor whose father worked with Coca-Cola. They were better than us financially. At the age of three I thought of working with Coca-Cola when I grow up. I forgot about it. Twenty years later I was asking God why He allowed people around to work against me and drive me out of the university where I am supposed to work after completing my college degree. News came to me that there was a vacant position in Coca-Cola, I applied and I realized that my thought 20 years ago was granted. I joined the company even if there were people within working against me. The power of my childish thought was so strong that the company did not allow me to leave even when I tendered my resignation.

Several years later, the company announced the planned computerization program. Upon hearing the news I thought of being part of the program. A thought stream very similar to the one I had when I was a child. Several months later I was surprised to learn that many of my colleagues took the qualifying exams without my knowledge. But nothing could beat the power of a childish thought like mine. They all failed and gave way to the right man for the job. I topped the list of the second batch of examinees. The power of the doubtless, fearless thought was working again.

When my wife was pregnant, I was stunned by the news of imminent miscarriage. I went to the backyard and talked to my God. I said, Lord you know how I wish to see this child be born, walk to find her dream, and make that dream come true. I had nothing more to say so I borrowed the words of no less than Yahuswa himself. Let your will be done my Lord not mine. I had the feeling that the prayer was granted. I believed that I had received. Now she has finished her Bachelor's degree in nursing, and has just passed the board examinations at this writing.

In my readings of the Bible, Yahuswa said: (Matthew18:3 And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.) "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." That means the children are very special to him. So, I started asking Yahuswa thru the mind of my child. Yahuswa could not refuse. He always gave in. I told my child to ask for a colored TV from Papa Yahuswa. The request was granted. All my life I had been wishing for a transistor radio. I had one, but was stolen. Then I told my child to pray for a house and lot. It took a little longer but it came. Then I told my child to ask for a car and it was granted. Now, I blame my self for not asking all my wishes thru her before she could reach her teenage years.

When she was 7, she showed signs of inheriting my being weak and sickly. She had chronic fever. Worse, she vomits every time she takes anything. She was always like this every time she caught fever. I had the same problem when I was at her age. Applying what I have learned about the power of the mind.

thought of setting up her imagination to make her mind work for her. While I was giving her a sponge bath, I told her that there is a light that shines in her heart. It shines brighter like an ember in the wind every time she takes a deep breath. That light is Papa Yahuswa. Every time she should have pain or any problem at all, she should take a deep breath, think and feel Papa Yahuswa shining in her heart. Then do it again until the pain is gone. She did not ask or say anything. Her eyes showed total acceptance and faith in what I said.

After the sponge bath, I told her she had to take something. It has been four days since she stopped eating. She looked at me, sobbed and asked: "Papa, if I ate would I not vomit?" I felt I never met a decision making as crucial as that in my life. If I said "No" which was the best answer at the time, but she vomited, I felt I might lose her faith in Yahuswa and me forever. I had to make a decision, and I said No! She said, okay. Give me food. I said wait. We should eat together while watching your favorite carton story. She chose Cinderella by Walt Disney, and we did watch. She finished her plate and was asking for more. She recovered and never had the problem again. Thank God, I was able to erase a wrong programming from her mind.

If I look back to the past, I can only see great events good and bad caused by childish thoughts. The bad ones made possible by fear and doubt, and they brought disaster. The good ones were created by trust and confidence, and they brought happiness and fulfillment. Most of these good childish thoughts came at the time when I was seeking and was getting near God. I was filled with blessings and happiness. The

good, however, is fewer than the bad.

Now I understand why David made his supplication, praise and thanksgiving into Psalms, while his son Solomon made them into proverbs and songs. They say and sing their thoughts of the Lord to counter the destructive programming of everyday life. Scientists call this autosuggestion. Whatever it is, it reaffirms and re-strengthens our faith and trust in the power and presence of God. It orients the power of the mind to the source of our very life and existence.

Now I think I am on the right track. Of course, I understand that I still have a very long way to go to perfection and life. If David and Solomon, as great as they were, had to spend long hours to do it, I think I have to spend long hours also, a thousand times longer than they did. The consequences of long years of hardheadedness and rebellion cannot be change in one day. Like Peter in the New Testament, I still have to fight the wrong programming within and the constant bombardment of lies from society by this world.

Again, practice makes perfect.
CHAPTER 11

THE EMOTION

Once I asked my student what would he feel if he saw his woman kiss another man? He said pain, one of the most painful experiences I would ever have, putting his hand on his chest. Then I asked him what would you do just in case? He leaned his temple against the tips of his fingers and said: "I think I should set her free, if she doesn't love me anymore." His gesture clearly showed his conceptual distinction between his emotions and his mind. He located his mind in his head and his emotion in his heart.

There are people, however, who are not able to even distinguish mind from emotion. The confusion is justified. Reason and passion is so closely integrated. The problem is that many people allow their passion for those they love or against those they hate to overrule their sense of duty. This happens all the time, in the family, in the classroom, in business, in public service, everywhere, even in the church. Worst, some would sacrifice their duties and responsibilities for their passion for riches and wealth.

The mind and the emotion are powerful but intangible. They are uniquely different, but both seem to work physically in the brain in terms of biochemical reaction. This increases their integral manifestation. However, emotion is so different that there is supposed to be a specialized study for this, apart and

separate from Psychology. Maybe we can call it Emotionology or the study of emotion or the study of energy in motion. Concepts categorized with the mind are: reason, knowledge, wisdom, comprehension, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Those identified with emotion are: love, like, want, desire, happiness and their antitheses: hate, dislike, rejection, sadness, etc.

Scientists study the mind and emotion by looking deeply into the anatomy and physiology of the brain. However, the brain is physical. The brain and the body can go back to dust but the mind, the emotion and the memory that compose the soul continue to exist. Most scientists consider emotion to be located in the brain. There are those who would say, "I love you with all my hypothalamus" instead of saying, "I love you with all my heart." But no, emotion resides in the heart, the spiritual heart. That is why we put our hands over our heart when we feel happiness or pain. We are not referring here to the physical heart that pumps the blood to all parts of the body, although the latter is the physical manifestation of the former. However, we will reserve discussion of the spiritual heart in a later chapter.

There lies the problem of the scientist. He cannot differentiate mind from emotion because no concrete proof can be found in the physical heart. What he can sense is the chemical consequences in the hypothalamus. Most of the time, the strange sensation in the chest and the increasing heart rate followed by increasing blood pressure and temperature are considered effects of biochemical changes in the brain, if not overlooked. So, emotion and mind are categorized into one field of study—Psychology.

All these, however, are part of our growing knowledge about us. The difficulty is understandable. On the other hand, the Psycho-emotional differentiation should be easier now by the advent of computers. As we can see, we have computers that think like humans. We even have computers that learn. However, we do not have and we may never have computers that feel. This situation should clarify mind from emotion. We are gaining success in making machines mimic the mind, but we are unable to make them feel. On the contrary, what we may develop later on maybe humans that think like computers. That will be a disaster, because when humans begin to think like computer they become merciless and unscrupulous. (Matthew 24:12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,).

My mother said that the brain was placed above the heart for the former to rule over the latter. And so, I tried to stick to every principle and philosophy I learned. I firmly stood on every thing I thought was right and true. There was a time in my life when the war between my thought and feeling almost broke me down. Life taught me to follow my heart when I am in doubt. Decisions in life are not the monopoly of the mind. I began to recognize another powerful force inside me. First I learned that the mind could be wrong. My experiences tell me that my feeling is right most of the time. Most importantly, I learned that the most powerful decision is made jointly by the mind and emotion.

That is the usual process of learning. First, we learn to differentiate in order to understand, and then, we learn to integrate to apply the synergy of the two powerful forces at our disposal—the mind and the

emotion. Powerful forces that we have misused continually from the murder of Abel to the blood of Zechariah; from the time before the flood to Sodom and Gomorra; from the wars of unrecorded and recorded history to the wars and conflicts of our present time; from intra-marital conflict to Napoleon, Hitler and the prophesied Armageddon. This world has been possessed by negative emotion since the beginning of time. This is not forgotten. We will dedicate the next chapter for that—memory.

Clinical observation is establishing the effects of emotion to the physical body like the mind does. Modern medicine is beginning to recognize it. People who love their work have energy above that of an average person. They become healthier than their average counterpart. Many times fear transformed a weakling into a weight lifter during emergency like fire or flood. Our emotion transforms us during our fight or flight.

On the other hand, emotion can also weaken, paralyze or even kill you. Those who hate the boss surely will be more exhausted at the end of the day. A person who hates his partner in life can develop ailments from ulcer to asthma or even cancer or heart attack. Who can tell how many chronic or deadly diseases those people who did not like the people or the circumstances around them have developed? Who knows whether or not this is one of the major causes of the rising rate of deadly diseases in the civilized world where the psychosocial framework has become so boringly mechanical?

This needs further studies because the indication is very strong. This is the reason behind the growing

focuses on motivation in management and education. When I was studying management in college there were only 4 functions of management: Planning, Organizing, Actuating and Controlling. Later on Actuating split into leading and coordinating. Now motivation is coming up the academic stage and inspiration is following behind. The word "inspiration" is gaining more importance in this area. Inspiration and motivation are more emotional than mental.

So emotion is a major factor affecting our whole being. How about the environment? Can emotion affect the circumstances around, like the action of gravity or magnetism on distant objects? Yes, definitely. Once I had a furious argument with an office mate. The incident destroyed my whole day. Next morning he was in the hospital for abnormal sugar level. In another circumstance there was a person with whom I had a heated discussion. My hatred was so strong that I had frequent involuntary visual streams of breaking his neck. After two weeks I heard he met a motor accident that sent his head rolling on the street. Is this co-incidence? My God this is witchcraft! I was using my emotion against my neighbor. Who can tell how many people have I sent to sickness or even death because of psychical events like this? Who can tell how many of my ailments were caused by those who hated me. Worst, who knows when the karmic forces will fire back if it is not already firing back? Only God knows at the moment.

The Ten Commandments best illustrate the importance and power of emotion. Let us look at the two most important commandments of God. (Mark 12: 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and

with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. 31 The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.") These verses summarize the Ten Commandments written in two tablets. The first is about Love for God. The second is about Love for neighbor. The Commandments speak only of Love, an emotion. Emotion is very important to God, because God is emotional. Emotion is so important to Him that he broke down the first commandment into four, and the second commandment into 6, a total of 10 written into 2 tablets to make sure that they are well understood.

Yahuswa even reinforced the commandments by saying: (Luke 16:17 "It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law." ) (Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.") Yahuswa gave special emphasis to adultery, an abuse or misuse of human emotional power. (Matthew 5:28 "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.) This modifies our definition of adultery from physical to emotional. Can this be the cause of the rising cases of heart ailment worldwide? Those of us who think that our emotional adultery is harmless should think again. Remember that emotion can act at a distance. Non-physical adultery can send the subject to nausea, vomiting, and other inexplicable ailments depending on her/his psycho-emotional strength.

Man relies on physical evidence too much, because his five senses are limited by his refusal to know and accept the truth. His laws can only rule over physical actions. The laws of man become powerless on

crimes that remain within the mental and emotional domains while those crimes are polluting the non-physical universe. But this is not so with the law of God, because He is spirit. We cannot physically embrace Him to show our love. However, He can see our love for him in our hearts, mind, and soul. Man has always tried to show his love physically by creating physical images representing God and show love for them, but God expressly prohibited such acts of false worship. God clearly described the manner of showing our love for him by making offerings on the altar designed according to what he commanded us to do. The offering, however, becomes meaningless before God's sight when it comes from an insincere heart and mind. (Matthew 5:23 "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift) God wants love that goes beyond mere words and actions.
CHAPTER 12

THE MEMORY

"Forgive me. I did not mean to do it". "I did not know what happened, why I did it." These are usual utterances of offenders to the offended. Are they bluffing or are they telling the truth? In vehicular accidents the drivers would say: "I lost control of the steering wheel." "A mysterious force sent us to that cliff." Is there a force that makes us do things we do not comprehend? The answer is yes. Where does it come from, inside or outside us?

A child writes to herself in her diary saying: "Dear Self, You have not done your promise to be in the honor list this year. You have done nothing so far to make your Papa and Mama very proud of you. I do not know what to do with you. You are so lazy. Your Papa and Mama are providing you with everything, and they do not even blame you for your low grades. They are quick to praise you with the achievements too small to be worthy of praise. You must make it this year." It seems the child is talking to herself. Indeed, but not only talking she is quarreling with herself. This is not unusual. Even Yahuswa fought against himself at the final hour. Many of us, including me, make some kind of a fight against our self from now and then. The longest and toughest war I had against me was my resolution to stop smoking. It was a long and hard war until my victory two years ago at this writing.

There is a proverb that says: "Only a habit can kill another habit. Resolutions are made to do exactly that, to kill another habit. However, since we cannot pull back the hands of time, we resolve to do it better next time. For example, if we have been unable to stop smoking last year, we will have to practice not doing it, not thinking of it, and not feeling the desire to do it. So, if we are able to do it next year and the years thereafter, the memory will be rewritten as desired and visualized. We will be fighting a very tough fight initially because our enemy is no one else but our self.

This is how habit or memorized practice influences us. Habit influences us whether we are conscious about it or not. Most of what we do in life is done by memory especially routine activities and tasks. A pilot is trained to depend more on memorized actions than rational decisions. The pilot does not have to think about his actions during emergency because he was trained to memorize them. This is also true with any skill. The choice is still ours what kind of memorized actions we want to develop. If we are not satisfied with the results, we develop a different memory under similar circumstances.

In previous chapters we discussed how powerful the mind and emotion are. They can control not only the body but also the circumstances that surround us. In this chapter we are talking about another component of the soul that is more powerful—the memory.

There are two kinds of memory: the memory of the present life and the memory of past life. Both are developed by our choice and influence us whether we are aware or not. Mental and emotional decisions are

recorded. Repetitive events develop a force of repeating itself. Remember the Chinese proverb "What you do always becomes natural to you." Not only that, what you do always, will make you do it again.

That means if you do something more than once, it becomes a practice or a habit. If you continue doing it, it becomes a character. It becomes another you, but part of you and within you. There are people who are born painter, musician, singer, mathematician, sculptor, engineers, doctors, nurses, farmers, etc. They seem to posses an inherent inclination to their skills of interest. They learn easily. It seems their skills are not acquired but stimulated. Where can this memory skill come from since it is obviously already there before training and education is initiated?

A very obvious manifestation of pre-birth memory is the case of mentally challenged persons. These persons are known and proven to be unable to learn. However, what puzzles scientists is the fact that they posses extraordinary skills in their own field. One case can tell instantly what day was the Independence Day of the USA in 1776 or what day will it be in 2500. Another one can calculate how many buttons are there in an ice cream gallon. Another one can sight-read and play the notes of musical compositions. All of them cannot do personal necessities without assistance. These phenomena undermine the current definition of intelligence. They strongly indicate that the mind and memory are intangibly different, separate from, and existed before the physical brain was born and developed.

There are persons who are impatient, irritable and unforgiving. There are also persons who are generous, forgiving and understanding. Their behavior

started to manifest when they were children. They seem to behave differently under the same circumstances. It is very likely that what you are now is a carry over of what you were in the previous incarnation. Training and education in this lifetime can only refine or modify the inherent character and skills. It is very likely that the priests and preachers now had been priests and preachers before, while murderers and rapists were like that in the previous life. Whatever we did in the previous life, the memory will tend to make us do it again in this lifetime. Bad habit develops bad character and good habit develops good character. Good character attracts good circumstances, while bad character attracts bad situations.

When I was in high school, martial arts became a fad. My friends and I would always have a practice session on self-defense. Of course we knew the required secrecy of our new found discipline, but in our minds and hearts there remained a bit of a desire to test it in actual situation. So, the situation came as desired. We always get into trouble. The trouble became a habit, and the habit attracted more trouble and so on. When we graduated from high school and were parted by differing choices of college courses, we forgot about it and trouble forgot us.

The memory of past life, however, still influences us even if we forgot about it. This memory is greater and stronger because it was developed by numerous incarnations, compared to the present memory of 75 years on the average. It subjects the soul under a test, a test of spiritual quality, a test of character, a psycho-emotional test. It is like the way a novelist portrays the characters by putting them under a

situation. Unlike the situations in a novel, however, this lifetime is a gift in the form of a chance to do what we failed to do. It is like retaking a professional examination. People ask why we forget about our previous life. Actually, it is only the conscious mind that forgets. The memory resides deep within. That is why some scientists call it the unconscious while others call it the sub-conscious. It is popularly known as destiny.

In chapter 8 we discussed karma that molds the soul for its subsequent re-incarnations. The karma of our thoughts, feelings, speeches, and deeds in the past, be it positive or negative, is recorded in this memory. If an offense done in the past is recorded, the memory sets the stage for the offender and the offended to face each other in the present. If charity is recorded in the past, the memory sets the present stage for the benefactor to receive his reward. Every day, therefore, is an opportunity to collect our due and to pay our debt. This is how karma works thru the memory of those involved. This explains the lyrics of the song saying: "I don't know what forces brought us together, but I know that my feelings can't be wrong."

This memory can suddenly influence your mind and emotion of the moment. This can make you hate or love somebody you meet for the first time in this lifetime without any reason at all. This can make you become suspicious of somebody so good and honest to you. This can make you give your trust to someone who is unworthy of it. This can make someone irritate somebody to the extent of pushing the latter to kill the former.

About 500 years before Christ, Socrates said: "My

opinion is more or less this: no wise man believes that anyone sins willingly or willingly perpetrates any base or evil act; they know very well that every base or evil action is committed involuntarily." Socrates was talking about a force that makes people commit a crime unintentionally. This is within the context of Yahuswa's prayer before he died asking the Father to forgive them for they did not know what they were doing. (Luke 23:34 Yahuswa said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.") Socrates also taught that the injustice and unfairness one encounters in his present life is just the result of his own wrong choices in his past lives. The victims of his injustice and unfairness in the past are now being inclined to be unjust and unfair to him by a force incomprehensible to all involved.

Negative karma affects the quality of the soul, and consequently, the quality of the next incarnation. We have discussed this in Chapter 9. One of its consequences is the weakening of the mind and the senses, and that includes the weakening ability of the mind to full memory recall. This teaching must be the reason behind the fact that the followers of Pythagoras were known to be charitable and forgiving. The very character Yahuswa was trying to emphasize in His teachings when He walked the earth.

Charity incurs positive karma like a deposit entry in your bank account. It can be used to pay your karmic debt. When I was young, I believed in the saying that giving to beggars does not do them good. It only encourages them to be lazy. However, who am I to judge and what is it to me if they become lazy or not? Whether they become lazy or not should not matter to me.

Yahuswa does not allow us to judge. (Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.) That is their responsibility. The fact is that I am being asked to give, and I must give, because I am responsible for that. I remember experiencing so much financial difficulty then. I changed my attitude, because Yahuswa also said to give to those who ask. (Matthew 5:42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.) When somebody asked and I have something to give, I give. If I have nothing to give, I say sorry, better luck next time. Life started to become more generous to me. This is the lesson. Not only that, I noticed that all the rich people I know are charitable. See? It always works.

Forgiveness is like writing off the debt of those who owe you, but with a plus. Forgiveness also causes your sin to be forgiven. Master Yahuswa taught us to forgive, forgive, forgive, and forgive. Yahuswa said that if you will not forgive, you will not be forgiven (Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.").

I was an unforgiving person, but my forgiving father and mother influenced me. I saw the benefit of this. Since I know that my parents will always forgive me, I was not afraid to tell them my mistakes and the consequences of those mistakes. This enabled them to know the problem and to help me do something about it before it was too late. My parents were developing my honesty and my strength to face my mistake and learn from it.

I applied this to my family. I applied this in the work

place. I made all those under my supervision feel that they have the right to make mistake. One of my jobs is to manage the consequences of those mistakes. Their responsibility is to tell me what is wrong and what happened. We will discuss the solution. Nobody is to be blamed. We find the solution. That saved the company I worked with lots of money in terms of computer data that I was overseeing. How? I was always able to know what was wrong and do some-thing about it before it became too late. If you might have noticed, charity is forgiveness and forgiveness is also charity.

One of the great problems of this world is that there are people who believe that they are serving God by fulfilling negative karma. Those who know karma would murder and kill people even more because they believe that in doing so they help people repay their karmic debt. For example, James is so pissed off with Jane that he thinks of killing her. James knows about karma and justifies his intention by thinking that she must have killed him before, so "a tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an eye." James thinks that he is helping Jane repay her debt by killing her. In this case, if James kills Jane it would appear that she has repaid her karma in full, but James has programmed them in worse shape than before the next time, because there is no forgiveness. The karmic force will be set stronger than before, because James knows and intentionally does what he should not do.

This is not the way to put an end to negative karma. This only establishes a vicious cycle of murder. If this is the right way, then the wars that this world has and is still having must have ended much of our negative karma. The millions of deaths everyday do not slow down the vicious cycle. They only tie us down to the

slavery of sin. Until we learn and understand the truth about the commandments and do it no matter what, then and only then are we able to free ourselves from the law of karma. The whole world has been locked in the chain of violations against the commandments. Forgiveness and charity unlock and even break the chain.

Are we able to forgive those who kill us? We can do it in our last breath, like Yahuswa did before expiring on the cross; or if not, the next opportunity like in the circumstances surrounding James in the preceding example. James can forgive all the misbehavior of Jane in this lifetime. In fact, Yahuswa told us to love our enemies. (Matthew 5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.) This is how the Lord wants us to write and re-write our destiny. We erase the negative memory by forgiveness and charity. If anyone thinks he can go to heaven by killing, think again. If anyone thinks he can go to heaven by making the lives of his neighbor difficult, do some kind of soul searching.

Ethics in school teaches that conscience is like a little voice inside us that tells us what to do. Conscience formation is the result of our interaction with our

interaction with our fellow man. It comes from our parents, brothers, sisters, teachers, and everyone we meet in this lifetime. In other words, we are taught that conscience is formed by our experience. This means that every time we have to make decision, we recall our experience and the principles that we learned. We are taught that conscience is programmed by society.

Indeed society has a lot to do with conscience formation in the form of experience and education.

However, if our conscience comes solely from experience, where does an innocent child get the notion when he cries before his quarreling parents? I have seen video clips of fetuses instinctively moving away from the instrument that intends to abort their birth. What makes a man defect to a country, which his fatherland programmed him to hate since childhood? What makes a man rebel against a society, which nurtured and molded him from birth? What makes a man break through the matrix of social programming? There is another conscience that is already there inside before we were born, a conscience distinctly different from our experience and education.

This inherent conscience is the one that tells us to accept or reject our learning from experience and education. It comes from the inner core of our being. Oftentimes man has to fight a foe that is the most difficult to overcome—himself. A Chinese proverb says: "He who overcomes himself is stronger." Which one is "he" and which one is "himself?"

The Word (see Chapter 4 of this book) is the real "he", the original one, the branch of the vine, the image of

God that is inside in the beginning until now, the divine spark, the Christ in everyone. "Himself" is the memory (the title of this chapter), the one we call destiny, the one we call sub-conscious or unconscious, the artificial self, artificial in the sense that it has been molded by our worldly interaction in a distant past before we were born. There is another self, our youngest self, the memory of this lifetime. In other words, the concept of conscience taught in school is only 1/3 of the whole truth that in reality there are three voices that influence our decisions in life. The first is the voice of God; second is the karmic memory of the past, and third is the empirical memory of the present.

A great problem is growing in school. The voice of God is losing face in school, and consequently in the minds of our children. The teacher must be brave enough to introduce conscience the way it should be, because he puts himself in danger of being sued for violating freedom of religion. An author must be brave enough to incorporate this in his ethics book, because he may lose a big part of the market, the schools.

A complicating factor started first in our religion and is growing exponentially. The voice of karmic memory was removed from the greatest book in the world, the Bible, leaving only small fragments of it as presented in Chapter 9 of this book. So the human mind is being misled into believing that all dictations from the inner core of our being come from the voice of God; that we have nothing to do with our destiny because it was predetermined and written by God. So, many of us end up blaming God for all our misfortune. We are not told the whole truth that we are the co-author of our life. This is how the inner voice of God loses face

in our religion. God is being embarrassed by attributing to Him the bad qualities that He is not capable of possessing.

The good thoughts, feelings and actions in the past are now bringing us everything that is good in life, and reinforcing the voice of God inside. We are able to recognize the voice of God, and therefore able to make more good decisions. The bad thoughts, feelings and actions that we had now bring us unfairness, and misfortune, and interfere with the voice of God. (Matthew13:12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoeverdoes not have, even what he has will be taken from him.) We could hardly hear God's voice, and therefore are inclined to make more mistakes. Therefore, if we looked well yesterday we are inclined to get better and better at present. If we looked bad yesterday we are inclined to get worse each day. However you looked yesterday, today is a present to be cherished.

Look well today is an ancient counsel of the wise. Listen hard to the voice of God inside you. Differentiate it from the voice of past karma. How do we recognize the voice of God inside? If you are unable to recognize the voice of God quickly, take the most important commandments as reference. (Mark 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. 31 The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.") Every thought and feeling that is in line with these comes from God. Yahuswa fought against himself before the final hour. But he knew the voice of the Father from within. His karmic memory influenced him to change his mind. (Luke22:42

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.") He recovered saying: "Let your will be done not mine." He affirmed the Father's will by rejecting the voice of human memory within him.

The karmic memory is both good and bad, because it was formed by our social interaction with a grey world, in this planet of light and darkness. The balance of good and bad depends on our performance in the past and the present. The voice of God is our memory of perfection, the memory of our communion with God in the beginning. It is the light of life that has been there and will be there forever if we allowed it to. It touches us every time we tend to the bad side of our karma. It reminds us if we are willing to listen and hear.

Time has passed in such a way that we have unlearned to listen and hear the light of life within. Since we have become unworthy to face God and his angels, God gave the commandments to Moses and continued to send prophets to remind us. We continued to confine ourselves in the prison cell of our bad karma. We have lost sight of the light of life inside us, so God had to send the real light in flesh and blood (Yahuswa) before our five senses. The lamb erased our bad karma that suffocates the flame inside us. We have become worthy again of the Father's love and presence, the Word and light in every man.

Now that the divine spark has been rekindled, let us do everything that is aligned with the commandments and become the co-author of life. Let us use all our blessing to bring glory to the Father in heaven. Let us

revise the writings of our artificial self, and make it a carbon copy of the real and divine self.

Every time somebody comes to irritate you, forgive him by praying for him. Give him any form or favor that you can give. Praise him. Smile at him. Every time somebody asks, forgive him by giving him what he needs. What are you forgiving? You are forgiving him for not giving you what you asked for before in this lifetime or in past incarnations.

Forgiveness and charity breaks the chain of slavery. Forgiveness is charity and charity is forgiveness.
CHAPTER 13

THE FLESH

The flesh body is the result of the interaction of the Spirit with the dust. It is called the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthian 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?) It is composed entirely of non-living matter, but by the power of the Spirit is transformed into living cells. The cells are arranged intricately into tissues, and organized into systems of different functions. This flesh body is only one-fourth of our existence in this physical universe. It is closely integrated with the other bodies: mind, emotion, and memory. These other bodies compose the intangible part of our existence called the soul. The flesh is the manifestation of the soul in the physical universe. We will refer to the four bodies as whole being from here on.

This flesh body was originally designed to live forever. It was immortal, more immortal than the pyramids of Egypt. Nothing on earth could destroy the flesh. It was as perfect as the image from where it was patterned. That was the time when the emotion, the mind, and the memory knew only what is good. That was the time when the whole being (soul and flesh) was in perfect resonance with the Spirit. The body completely receives the flow of life, which is abundantly coming from the river of light. God talked

to man directly thru the five senses of this flesh body.

In the early days of this earth there were no set and designed location for man to worship God. Man can commune with his God in this flesh body. There was no need for a church or a temple. What happened to the temple of the Spirit? What is the cause of its sickness, aging, and death?

Science has recently made gradual progress in learning the fundamental nature of our sickness, aging and death. However, developments are still contradictory and need further studies. Different drugs have to be developed depending on the interpretations and approaches being taken.

For example high blood pressure was first associated with top killer diseases. So, anti-hypertensive drugs have been developed. But wait a second. It is possible that the body raises the pressure because there is or there are parts needing adequate circulation. Medical science calls this essential high blood pressure. What happens to those areas needing circulation if we lower the blood pressure?

Then came another discovery that there appears to be cholesterol and calcium build-up in the arterial walls as we get older. This discovery leads us to consider high blood pressure as more of an effect instead of a cause. It is believed that cholesterol and calcium are hardening the blood vessel walls causing blood pressure to rise. However, it has been observed that the body produces blood cholesterol because it is needed for resolving injuries in the arterial walls, hence the thickening and hardening observed anywhere anytime in the flesh body. This observation

has spurred further intensive and extensive studies on anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, cox2 inhibitors, and statins. Initial laboratory and clinical tests indicate that these drugs significantly lower the risk posed by the top killer diseases. Long-term use at the right dose promises benefit as far as avoiding cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and other sickness associated with aging. The question is that do we really solve the problem by inhibiting inflammation? Is inflammation not a warning to be heeded rather than a symptom to be inhibited? The observed side effects associated with the long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs tell us so. These side effects indicate that inflammation may not be the root cause after all, and indeed it is not. There is an underlying cause. Inflammations are actually damaged locations where urgent reparation activities are going on. On these sites, damage cells are destroyed completely, disposed of and replaced by new ones.

Science knows that the flesh body is not the same seven years ago. The body replaces worn out cells everyday from the tips of the hair to the nails of the fingers and toes. Your blood cells, muscles, bones, blood vessels, everything is practically not the same cells that were there in the flesh body 7 years ago. Let us call this the "renewal programming of God."

Another programming of God in the flesh is the immune system. Our flesh body is in constant war against micro invaders. Thousands of microbes get into our nose, mouth, ears, eyes even the pores of our skin. There are frontline defenses at those portals. Some of the invaders manage to get thru and find their way into the blood streams, but there are white blood cells to deal with them too. . (Mark 7:15

Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' bygoing into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.') So, there is nothing from the environment or the food and drinks that we take that can harm us. (Mark 7:20 He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' 21 For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' ") What harms us is really coming from the inside. Our negative karmic record has become like a virus program that makes the "rejuvenation" and the "immune" programs of the flesh appear like they fight each other.

Renewal follows a strange pattern of getting old. New dermal cells appear as wrinkled skin. New hair cells appear grey. In other words new cells are behaving as old and weak. The negative karma is introducing an aging pattern in the renewal process. It is like a computer virus that makes a mess out of a useful program. Our foolish emotions and thoughts are harming us from the beginning until now. They sabotage the rejuvenating program of God to produce substandard cells and tissues.

As the rejuvenation program create new but substandard cells, the immune system destroys those cells like the Quality Control department of a factory rejecting and disposing defective products. The self-defense program of the flesh appears to undo everything that the rejuvenating program does. The result, we observe white blood cells destroying defective red blood cells (leukemia).

Science observes inflammatory conditions all over the

flesh body. Inflammatory conditions occur in the brain and the nerve cells; the heart and blood vessels; even in the bones. What looks like a battlefield in the form of inflammation, can occur anywhere any time in the flesh body. The occurrence becomes more frequent than the flesh body could cope with as time passes by. The flesh body becomes like a factory whose wastage and leakage have exceeded the net production.

Laymen like us can appreciate the whole problem by looking at the human lifespan. Some divide the lifespan into 9 stages, Eriksson says 8, the Hindus say 4, but let us simplify it into 3 stages only: development, middle age, and old age.

Development stage is characterized by the production of new cells to supply the increasing need for the growth of organic tissues in the different systems of the human body. Destruction of worn out and defective cells also happen because of damages caused by the processes and by infection. In this stage, production is faster than destruction.

Middle age is a stage wherein the production rate is equal to or lesser than the destruction rate. The reason is that the human body has stopped growing. Production of cells is more dedicated to replacement of worn out and defective cells.

Then the old age stage wherein the destruction rate increasingly exceeds that of production. Aside from destroying and disposing damage cells due to wear and tear and infection, the body produces new but sub-standard cells. A high percentage of the new cells fail the quality standard program of the body's housekeepers. In other words the destruction process

seems to undo the reparation process because the materials being used for repair are sub-standard.

The underlying problem of inflammation is this inefficient healing process. The supply of good quality replacement cells cannot cope up with the increasing demand. The immune system is overworked by the fact that aside from external invaders, it has to handle the mounting task of dealing with an internal problem of new but defective replacement cells. The healing process is sabotaged. Different functional diseases occur like diabetes, arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer, dementia, etc. Despite all the drugs and medical procedures for every specific ailment, death toll continues to climb worldwide. Finally, we see man lose his youth, waste away, and return to dust.

Medical science has done its best to understand and delay if not avoid the complete destruction of the body. This scientific effort gave birth to complimentary alternative medicine and the growing interest in vitamins and other nutritional alternatives. Science has discovered that there are only two creatures in the animal kingdom that do not produce their own vitamins within the flesh body, humans and pigs. Most animals produce vitamins inside their bodies at quantities many times more per kilogram body weight than humans.

It is believed that this inherent vitamin supplementation enables lower animals to survive the toxic and unfriendly environment near the ground. This suggests that we should be taking more of these vitamins if we are to survive our environment that is fast approximating theirs. Our environment is becoming unfriendly to our physical, mental and

emotional wellbeing. The writer has personally benefited from Vitamins C, E and lysine following the minimum recommendation of the Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling. I am taking 1000 mg vitamin C, 400 mg Vitamin E three times a day. I am presently observing the benefit to me by adding Alpha lipoic acid and glutathione. The flesh body exhibits revitalized capability in the repairs and maintenance of the temple of the Holy Spirit with the aid of this nutritional supplementation. These micronutrients seem to raise the efficiency of producing new cells and strengthen the existing ones.

Will our problem ever end? We hope so, but one thing is very obvious. Something is messing up the healing process. There is an indication that the root cause is not in the flesh body. The problem will not be solved until we realize that therapies should not be limited to the flesh body. Conventional medicine focuses on the flesh body, which is only one-fourth of the whole problem. The root cause is not in the flesh body but in the intangible and greater you—the soul. We need to rethink and reconsider the Hippocratic view that we heal the part by healing the whole. There is much promise offered by applying eastern concepts to western technology. There are good reasons to believe that those eastern, ancient concepts are not obsolete after all.

Eastern medicine is known for its holistic approach to healing. This approach is being gradually embraced by western medicine in the form of research studies to validate their claimed benefits. We do not have the luxury of time to study qi, yin, yang, prana and tridosa to name a few terms of that ancient approach. For our own purpose in this book, we can simply state

that the approach is based on the view that the whole human being is not only physical but also psychical. The psychical part is intangible but greater and more powerful than the physical part.

That greater part is where the root of our problem originates and resides. We call that greater part the soul and presented it into mind, emotion and memory. The good news is that the solution is also there in the form of the Spirit, which we will discuss more in the chapter that follows. So far, we have presented the memory as though it is all evil, but it is not. It is just a mixed record of good and evil decisions by the mind and emotion. The memory is not all black but a blend of both white and black because of its exposure to and interaction with this grey world of ours.

It is this dark hue of our soul that brings death to our flesh body. So, if we do not meet death in natural calamities and socio-political wars, we meet death in the internal war going on in our flesh body. The flesh body becomes unproductive and useless. So, the panicking immune system becomes like a demolition squad tasked to bring down an edifice for a new building construction. And so, the flesh body succumbs to itself. Which self, the divine self? No. It is the memory of negative karma. The 666 has oriented the mind and the emotion for self-destruction.

Man loses the battle again. Man falls from the tidal waves he himself chose to create. The temple crumbles to the dust where it came from. His family, friends and relatives are mourning the fall. The fall is mourned by the Father, the Son and the angels in heaven, (Ezekiel 18:32 For I take no pleasure in the

death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!). because the task is not achieved—the task of making man in our image, after our likeness.

If we examine the killer diseases that haunt mankind; the natural calamities; hunger in impoverished parts of the world and the manmade destruction of war and conflict we can only observe the suffering, pain and the death they bring. Are we supposed to assume the innocence of the victims and consequently assume the insanity of God?

If I examine my own history of too much poverty and sickness, for countless times I presumed my innocence and blamed God. However, reason tells me that if he is insane, then he is not God. This insanity can come from somewhere else not Him. I have not killed or made anyone suffer in this lifetime. What can make me deserve the pain, suffering and later on death? This line of soul searching leads us to the conclusion that it was our own insanity that has set the stage for the story of our journey back to the dust. However, the way to this conclusion is blocked by the one-lifetime doctrine of our religion.

The teaching of karma and reincarnation was introduced to mankind as a reminder that we are all here to redo our failures and undo the results thereof. If we know and understand this law, we can only be forgiving and charitable. Imagine a world of charitable and forgiving people. Imagine how Christians could make this world a better place to live in if all of them realize that the teaching despised by many was embraced by no less than Yahuswa himself. If only I have known this teaching earlier, I could have started earlier helping in my own little way rewrite the

story by charity and forgiveness. I could have a better view of my enemies. I could have interacted well with my difficult bosses. I could not have squandered the power of my mind and emotion making ill and death wishes against my neighbor. I could have dedicated the power of my mind and emotion to God instead of radiating negative vibration in the ethers of the universe.

I cannot tell how much negative energy I have contributed to the suffering and pain that comes around. I can not tell how, when and where will that negative energy come back to me, and I can not tell how much effort will I have to exert to neutralize the consequences of those wrong choices. However, the negative karma of past life is certainly bringing some consequences since I was born. The pain and difficulties I experienced in this lifetime could only mean that I was not doing well last time.

The teaching of karma and reincarnation teaches that it is us who caused our own pain, suffering and death. Many find this hard to accept, because they tend to blame everyone except them selves. We have an attitude problem here. We refuse to admit our fault.

For those who know and accept this teaching, more questions can come to mind. Where is God in times crisis? Is God sleeping? The answer is no. God is very much around. The river of life is still abundantly flowing through the silver chord. God must have intensified the flow of life because He knows we need it now more than ever before. God is life. His absence is death. If God is absent, we are dust, much less than the dust; because even the dust possesses the power of God in the form of the forces that make their

sub-atomic particles move and stay together.

As long as we breathe God is here. Nobody wants sickness, old age, and death but it seems everybody gets sick, gets old and dies. Why should this temple of the Holy Spirit crumble to the ground in the presence of the creator, the author of life? This is what is really happening.

Remember the places where Yahuswa performed his miracles but were rejected by the people there? In the country of Gergesenes, there were two possessed men coming from the tomb that fiercely prevented people to pass their way. (Matthew 8:28-34) Yahuswa sent them to a herd of pigs to free the people from annoyance and torment. The people, however, requested Yahuswa to leave their place instead of appreciating what He did to them.

Yahuswa was also rejected (Matthew 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.) in places like Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum. He cursed these places because they did not repent despite the mighty miracles performed by the disciples. (Matthew 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.) Yahuswa said much worse than what happened to Sodom, Gomorrah, Tyre and Sidon will happen to them on judgment day. He made a promise of destruction to these places.

Do we realize that God is being rejected in his own temple? He is being forgotten in this flesh body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, despite the powerful miracles that happen inside since our conception in the mother's womb, miracles that have been there before we could ask.

How is God rejected in this temple of the Holy Spirit? The first commandment is to love God. Can you imagine that? Supposedly God need not ask us to love him. Loving God should be instinctive since God is the source of our life and everything we need in order to live. Any way God had to ask us. Do you love him?

When I first fell in love, I had to find out everything about her. I think of her at sunrise, noon, afternoon, bedtime and even in my dream. She gets in my mind in everything I do. If we love God don't you think that the same thing happens to us? We should find out about God and what he wants us to do. He should be there in our mind and heart in everything we do. Are we doing all these? If we don't, we do not love Him, we reject Him.

Once I asked my students to raise their hands to let me know who are Christians. I got 100%. I asked again how many of them read the Bible. I got 5%.

God broke down the first commandment into 4 to tell us how to love him. He said we should not have other Gods but Him. Are we doing it? Yes, fine. We should not bow before idols. Yes, fine. We should not use His name in vain. What is His name? Yahweh, Jehovah, Yahuswa, Immanuel? Well, not bad, but God told Moses exactly the name that He wants us to call

him. The name should be in the following verses. (Exodus 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.) These verses should contain the name of God. It looks like God said His name is I Am in the preceding verse 14, and that in verse 15 that follows God says this name is His name forever. Is the nameof God "I am"? For a time I thought it was. We will talk about it in the chapter about the name of the Father and the Son. Don't you think we ought to know the name of the one we love? How many of us know His name? How many of us are finding out? If we do not read our Bible and we do not know His name, what kind of love do we have for Him. Will that please God? If you were God will you be pleased?

God said we should remember the Sabbath day. Some say it is Saturday. Some say Sunday. Some say Friday. Some say any day. How many of you do not feel rejected when your loved one forgets your birthday even if you did not directly say it should be remembered? Now here is God whom we say we love saying clearly that we should remember the Sabbath day, but we cannot tell which day it is. (Exodus 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a Sabbath of rest to

the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.) God is very serious about this, and we are taking it for granted. God said: ". . . . . whoever does work therein shall be put to death." No wonder why this Temple of the Holy Spirit runs down and dies?

You may have heard about the controversy on fasting or eating on the Sabbath. Some say feasting some say fasting. God said full rest. Which is full rest, fasting or feasting? Does your body rest when the stomach is full? Some medical authorities say that the body does more work when fasting because it cleanses itself. It makes sense because the Scripture does not prohibit eating on the Sabbath originally. God is asking one day. But we give Him one hour, even less because either we come late or we go home early. Worse, we do it on a wrong day. Which day is the Sabbath day then? We will discuss that in the chapter "On The Sabbath Day."

Now, I think we do not have to go thru the rest of the commandments to show that we have been rejecting God not only in this lifetime but also in the previous ones. We reject God even in his own temple—the flesh body of every man. This mental, emotional practice of ours taints the fineness and whiteness of the flesh that clothe us. Finally it becomes useless as what the book of Ecclesiastes says, "Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity." It is discarded like an old clothing unworthy to be worn.

We have been like this since the beginning. We have developed the habit and the habit has become our character in the form of a bad record in our memory. Our wrong choices have left a stain or a black hue in our garment—the flesh body.

Our flesh body does not shine like white linen they way it should. Can we make this garment shine like white linen again? Yes of course we can wash this flesh body in the river of light that still flows freely from the spring of living water.

CHAPTER 14

THE SPIRIT

The Spirit is the presence of God, the image of God, in every man. The Spirit and the Word in Chapter 4 are one and the same. This is the one that gives life and light. It permeates all living and non-living things in the universe. It is more permeating than the ethers of Tesla and Einstein.

The Spirit is also the vine referred to by Yahuswa saying: "I am the vine, you are the branches." (John 5:15). The Spirit is also the spring of living water in the verse: "O YHWH, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken YHWH, the spring of living water." (Jeremiah 17:13)

The last paragraph of the preceding chapter poses a question. Can we make this flesh body as white as linen again? Of course we can. This is the challenge posed by Revelation (Revelation 22:14) saying, "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood."

Revelation speaks about the river of life. (Revelation 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. ) Where is this river of life that we can wash our robes in? Ironically, it is within all of us. Yahuswa said: (John 7:38) "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." May I repeat Yahuswa said, "...within him." Revelation portrays a great city, the new Kingdom of God. Did not Yahuswa say that the Kingdom is within us? (Luke 17:21).

How is it that God is within but we remain unclean? Consider this. If you will not come to the river to wash your clothes will you be able to make it clean? That is what we have been doing and have been told to do. In the time of Jeremiah the Lord complained: (Jeremiah 2:13) "My people have committed two sins: they have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water." Today we are being told and being led into forgetting the Sabbath that God told us to always remember. The name that God gave to Moses is being unheard and unspoken. It is being erased from the memory of men.

The Spirit that was and is with God and the same as God, the voice and power of God is within each of us. All of us have the same share of this power. What makes the difference is the ability and willingness of our mind and emotion to accept it.

Yahuswa was a man, but his acceptance of the Spirit in him is greater than any one. He exemplified how man regains what Adam and Eve lost. He demonstrated to us that it is possible to become as perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect, and become the real children of God again. Now it is our turn.

Can we do that? Can we be perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect? We were perfect before. By law of polarity we can be what we were. No doubt about that because Yahuswa said so. (John 14:12). We have a great problem though. The dark side knows that as children of God we are endowed with a mind as powerful as God. The dark side is using that power against us by leading us to defy the words of the Father without our consciously knowing about it. The chapter on perfection will illustrate that.
CHAPTER 15

THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON

The name of the Father is mentioned in the Third Commandment (Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.). When I first saw this verse, I wondered what the name of the Father was. I wanted to know so I would be able obey the commandment, only to find out later that the name is hidden in the phrase "the LORD". That means the name of the Father was mentioned twice in the above verse but is hidden from the reader like me.

In other words the very Bible I am reading is taking the name of the Father in vain, because it is hiding the name from those who want to know. In fact, the name has been erased from the memory of many. I am writing one chapter about the names because the Father said those who call on His name shall be saved (Joel 2:32).

I am sharing with you what I learned in my search and studies on the names. Let us discuss the name of the Father first, then the name of the Son. The name of the Father and the scriptures were given to His people—the Hebrews or the Jews. So, the name of the Father was in Hebrew.

The Hebrew name appeared more than 6,000 times in the original Hebrew scriptures of the Old Testament. It is coded as H3068 in the Bible Concordance. It is spelled in four Hebrew letters namely: Yad, Hey, Waw,and Hey in ancient times. These letters are pronounced Yud, Hey, Vav and Hey in modern times. Please note the change in pronunciation of the first and the third letter. The equivalent letters in English are Y, H, W and H or Y, H, V, and H in modern pronunciation.

This name YHWH or YHVH was translated as "the LORD" more than six thousand times in the King James Version. However, there are four verses that translate it as JEHOVA. These are verses Exodus 6:3, Psalms 83:18, Isaiah 12:2 and Isaiah 26:4. I thought I found the name and it looks like Jehovah's witnesses are right.

I learned later that the letter "J" came to be only about five hundred years ago, and there is no letter J in Hebrew. So, the pronunciation must be YeHoVaH, as indicated by the first letter Y. Furthermore, I have learned that the pronunciation of the first letter Y as Ye only started after the 2nd Babylonian exile. It was uttered as Ya before that. As we mentioned earlier, the third letter pronounced as Vav now was pronounced as Waw at the time of Moses. So, the correct pronunciation must be YaHuWaH.

This is confirmed by the diacritic symbols written with the name by the Masoretes. The Masoretes were the people who invented symbols to document and preserve the sounds of Hebrew words in the scriptures. Let us examine how the Masoretes documented the pronunciation of the Father's name in the following illustration:

The preceding illustration tells us how the first syllable of the name should be pronounced. Now let us see how the second and the last syllable should be uttered:

Let us talk about the meaning of the name. In ancient times, each Hebrew letter has meaning. Yad could mean worship, Hey could mean reveal or breath, and Waw could mean secure. So, the name of the Father means worship, reveal, secure, breath. That means if we worship the father, he will reveal himself to us, and we will secure our breath or life. We can also put it this way. The letter Yad could also mean, "work". So, the name means, work, reveal, secure, breath. The Father works to reveal how we can secure our breath.

Another meaning can also be conceived. The letter Yad is drawn like a hand in early ancient Hebrew alphabet. The name of the Father can be split into two groups of letters: Y and HWH. The first letter Yad can be interpreted as hand and HWH is a Hebrew word coded as H1933 in the Bible Concordance, pronounced "hawa" in ancient times, which means, come to pass or exist. So, YaHuWaH means "the hand behind everything that comes to pass or exists." The early ancient writing can give us more insight as follows:

With the preceding insight in mind, we can now look at the following verses from a slightly different perspective by replacing the phrase "the LORD" with YaHuWaH: Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD (YaHuWaH) God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this IS my name for ever, and this IS my memorial unto all generations. Therefore, "I Am" is not the name of the Father as many choose to believe. "I Am that I Am" is the meaning of His name, YaHuWaH. YaHuWaH was replaced by the phrase "the LORD" when the verses were translated to English. This is what happened to all verses containing the name of the Father. There were more than 6,000 verses containing the name of the Father.

Let us talk about the name of the Son, our beloved Savior. Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. This verse is saying that the name Jesus carries the message that he is a savior. According to the Bible Concordance, Jesus is not a Hebrew name but of Hebrew origin. If we follow the ancient Hebrew tradition of name construction, the word "save" or "salvation" should be in His name in Hebrew. John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. The Savior said He comes in the name of the Father. So, again, following the ancient Hebrew tradition of name construction, the name of the Father must be in his name in Hebrew too.

Suppose we do that. Let us take the word spelled in Hebrew as Yad, Shin, and Ayin pronounced Yasha, meaning save, and combine it with the name of the Father. The result would be YashaYaHuWaH. Is this the name of our Savior in Hebrew? No, but this is the ancient Hebrew name of Isaiah. He was called YashaYaHuWaH. His name was constructed as follows:

During the first Babylonian exile when the name of the Father assumed a short form YaHuW, he was called YashaYaHuW. During the second Babylonian exile when the Father's name was shortened further to YaH, he was called YashaYaH. When the scripture was translated to English, his name became, Isaiah. So, the original name of Isaiah, YashaYaHuWaH means the Father in heaven saves, because the word "save" (Yasha) and the name of the Father (YaHuWaH) were in his name. How about the name of the Son? Our Savior said He came in His Father's name, and the scripture says He came to save. However, His name is not like that of Isaiah. His name in Hebrew was Yahuswa because His name was constructed as follows:

Here we notice that the letters from the root words are interlaced instead of just joining the words together. So, YashaYaHuWaH and Yahuswa mean the same, YaHuWaH saves. What about the name Jesus, how did they come up with this name? The name came to be because the Hebrew name was translated to Greek and later on to English as follows:

The foregoing illustration shows that the name of our Savior was reduced to two syllables from three. Greek letter sigma and later on "S" in English is mysteriously added at the end. So the first syllable Ye is God to the Hebrews and the second syllable sus is acceptable to the Greeks because, it sounds like the name of their God, Zeus and Zeus is Jupiter to the Romans. Later on when the letter "J" was introduced, the first letter "I" was changed to "J" because the result sounds like the Latin word for God. So now the name Jesus is completely devoid of anything Hebrew, and has lost the message that goes with the Hebrew name of the Son of God.

Now, the faith of the world is transferred from the only name that can save the world to a name that has nothing to do with salvation. This is how our mind power is being used against us by making us forget the name of the Father and the name of our Savior to disable us from accepting the gift of salvation. God knows this. That is why a promise is written in the book of Revelation. (Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.). This promise will be fulfilled. God does not break His promise.
CHAPTER 16

THE SABBATH

The Sabbath is in the Fourth Commandment. Exodus 20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. This day was ordered by God to be remembered since the beginning. Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. So, YaHuWaH told His people not to do any work on the Sabbath in remembrance of Him resting from all His work in the beginning. This is how He wants to be remembered by His people—Israel as an expression of their love for Him. In this way, God is using the power of our mind to accept His presence in our heart and soul. Exodus 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD YaHuWaH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. The Sabbath is a sign between YaHuWaH and His people.

This is one of the ways by which Israel, the seed of Eve, should be distinguished from the seeds of Lucifer all over the world as cited in Genesis 3:15. Through Israel God wanted to show the world how His might dwell with those who worship Him. However, Israel rejected the sign between them and their God. Jeremiah 17:27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the Sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates

thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched. By means of this, Israel renounced, by their own free will, their destiny to be the most powerful nation in the world. They would have ruled the world forever.

Now, the Sabbath day is lost in the traditions and religions of the world. There are those who would do rest on Sunday. Some insists on Saturday. However, Sunday is the day of the Sun, the God of Babylon. So, is it Saturday then? But Saturday is the day of Saturn, the day of the Roman God of harvest and abundance. What day is it then? It is very difficult to determine because we are looking at the Gregorian calendar, a solar calendar introduced in 1582. It is interesting to note that the days are named after the Gods of the Pagans: Sunday is the day of the sun; Monday is the day of the moon; Tuesday is the day of the Norse God Tyr; Wednesday is the day of the Norse god Wodan; Thursday is named after the Norse god Thor; Friday is named after the Norse god Frigg.

Originally, the days are just called 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, 6th day and 7th day or the Sabbath day. It was very simple and easy to follow. The first day is the day immediately following the new moon day. So, counting seven days from the first day is the Sabbath day. If we match these days with the Gregorian calendar, the Sabbath day will float back and forth on the weeks of the Calendar months. There are times when the true Sabbath falls on Sunday or Saturday. For example: from August 22 to September 12, 2015, the Sabbath falls on Saturdays. After the new moon on September 13, 2015; the Sabbath falls on Sundays from September 20 to October 11, 2015.

To make it easier, you can go to worldslastchance.com to find out how the days are calculated based on the ancient Hebrew calendar. Better yet, their calendar application can be downloaded to your computer or smart phone for ready reference. Let me clarify though that the ideas and opinions in this book does not reflect those of the worldslastchance.com.

Why would Satan work so hard to drag us away from the original Hebrew calendar? Because, God said he who breaks the Sabbath by doing work therein shall be put to death. (Exodus 31:15). That is why all of us are getting sick, getting old, and going back to the dust where we came from. That makes Satan very happy. We may ask why is God allowing Satan? No, it is us allowing Satan, not God.

Now, the world chooses to forget the day that the Father in heaven wants to be remembered. In so doing, the world chooses death instead of life. This has become a habit from lifetime to lifetime, from reincarnation to reincarnation. The world always turns away from the God of life and during bad times asks God, where are you God when I needed you most. Worse, the world calls on the wrong God by calling him a wrong name. In the same manner, the world gives thanks to the wrong God for all the blessings.

CHAPTER 17

PERFECTION

Many of us believe that we all have been saved by the death of our Savior Yahuswa. In a sense yes, that is true. In another sense, however, this is not entirely accurate. There is a condition. That is why it is called a covenant, an agreement between God and man.

It is understandable for many to believe in a general absolution. God gives rain and sunshine to good and bad people alike, even until now. The death of our Lord is for the salvation of good and bad people alike also. In fact, Yahuswa asked the father to forgive even those who persecuted him immediately before his death. The Father must have granted that supplication from His one and only Son.

Consider this. If that was an unconditional salvation, why should Yahuswa ask the Father to forgive his persecutors in his last breathe. The reason is that salvation is conditional. The Gospel says that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16). The condition is BELIEVE. Those who did not believe were not included in the general absolution. Yahuswa knew that, so he had to pray to the Father for them.

This means that Yahuswa asked the Father to forgive even those who did not believe at the time of his last breathe. Indeed, indeed, all sins were forgiven at year zero (0) including the sins of unbelievers. Our Lord and Savior gave us a fresh start from then until his return. The death of the Lord on the cross erased negative karma of the past and the present. In other words, it was retroactive. However, the conditionality of salvation resumed after his death, that is from year 0 up to now, and until He returns to judge the living and the dead. (Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.") It is conditional because Yahuswa told us to be always on the watch of our fidelity to his commandments. If it was unconditional there will be no need to segregate the living and the dead on judgment day.

Who are the living and who are the dead? Simple, the believers (in spirit and in truth) are the living and the unbelievers are the dead. Oops, is that all. Be careful. Belief is also conditional. There are those who honestly and sincerely believe. They are often referred to as the true believer. (John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.) On the other hand, there are those who are not true believers. They are often referred to as the hypocrites. (Matthew 23:1 Then Yahuswa said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3 So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they teach. 4 They tie

up heavy loads, hard to carry, and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing even to lift a finger to move them. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries wide and their tassels long. 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.') The Father seeks the true believers. From generation to generation since the time of Adam and Eve. God always warned against hypocrisy.

From the start up to this point, this book presents the condition adversely affecting our communion with God. Despite God's design of putting his presence at the core of our being, we still are unable to become one with him. That is the definition of religious hypocrisy. (Isaiah 29:13 The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.) Where does this hypocrisy come from? Why cannot we fully accept what has been there from the very beginning? It is in our memory, the record of our evil practices in the past. The record of what we did always has now become a force that influences our mind and emotion to do them again. The record has become our character and our inclination back to the dust and to hell. The force of evil memory makes righteousness a herculean task. Our memory has become like a smudge in our supposedly white and shining robe. How can we wash our robes with the living water that we could not even accept with all our heart, mind, soul and strength in the first place?

Now what? It should be obvious at this point that acceptance can be learned or unlearned. Saying: I

accept Yahuswa as my Lord and savior is good, very good. This may not be enough, however, to erase the record of what we did in the past to unlearn our acceptance of the Lord. That is why our religious practices tell us to recite prayers as many times as we can. What we intend to present at this point is a system of practices that will make us love our God again with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength.

Is this system new? No it is as old as mankind, but it can renew our whole being including our physical body, and enable us to reunite with our creator. Abel, Seth, Enoch, David, Solomon, Abraham, Jacob, Elijah, Micah, Elisha, Moses, Pythagoras, Buddha, John, Yahuswa and all his disciples practiced it. If we are unable to achieve perfection in this lifetime, it will make our task easier next time. Our objective is not to posses the spectacle of the powers that come with this practice. The objective is to relearn the pleasure of being near God. Otherwise, we will become worse than we were before.

Let us start with the temple—our physical body. It has become mortal because we have been rejecting the Spirit within us. If you think your physical body is too weak at this time, try this as an initial step. It works for me. It should work for you. I personally take 1,000 mg of vitamin C three times a day; 400 mg of vitamin E three times a day; 1 scoop of whey protein powder in the morning and another in the evening.

Then let us go back to fasting. I personally do a 24-hour fasting every week if possible. Do not attempt a longer fast unless you have practiced a 24-hour-a- week fast for 1 year. I have been fasting for more

than 10 years now but I have not yet tried a longer fast. The benefit of fasting in combination with the preceding supplementation is amazing.

Fasting is a sacrifice that works more than cleansing and detoxifying your physical body. It also opens your soul to Spiritual cleansing and healing. It is used to make a sacrifice for your own sins or the sins of those you love. If done well enough, it erases the bad karmic record in our memory. It can even erase the bad karmic memory of a nation. Moses fasted for forty days and freed the slaves of Egypt. Yahuswa fasted for forty days and freed the world. Gandhi fasted for forty days and freed India. Aquino fasted for forty days and freed the Philippines. These are but few and great examples of how an ordinary man fast to change the world for the better. (Mark 9:29 He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting.")

If the Light of Life can raise us from inanimate atoms and molecules (dust) in our mother's womb, it can renew this physical body from its present state. Before we go on, do you know how much power God has given each of us in this world? Let me illustrate it.

Imagine a 2-ton scrap car suspended above the ground by a crane. At that very moment we can say that the crane pulls the car upward with a force of 2 tons, while gravity pulls the car downward with the same amount of force. When the crane pulls with a greater force, the car is raised. The car moves down when the crane reduces the force.

Let us make an analogy with our physical body. The Spirit raises us up to heaven, while the bad karmic

memory pulls us down with equal force during this lifetime. What can bring us down to the grave or to heaven? The power of our choice makes the difference. Our mental and emotional choices can bring us back to heaven or back to the dust.

That is how powerful our mind and emotions are. Our wrong mental and emotional choices in the past have recorded an enormous power in the memory equaling that of God at the present moment. You see? God has given us equal power in terms of our choice in this physical universe, because he does not want to be with robots. Unfortunately, we have made that power work against our godly nature.

Our objective in this lifetime is that we should use this power to overcome the force that pulls us down back to the dust. "Everything works both ways" the saying goes. So, we will use the 666 against him. We will use all our 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour, and 60 seconds a minute to reprogram the memory that has been making our destiny astray.

How do we do that? Good question. Let me attempt to give a good answer to that. While we start supporting our physical body with nutrients and cleanse it with fasting, we orient our mind and emotion to destroy a bad habit, Let us develop another habit, a godly habit.

Let us be forgiving and charitable every day of our life. We all know how to do this. If you feel some kind of difficulty doing it, you know what makes you feel that way, and this feeling is only temporary. Only you and you alone can overcome that natural resistance by choice. Also, please do not forget that you are dealing with yourself. So, be gentle with

yourself and do it gradually if you must.

To accelerate the process of renewal, let us perform the three stages of creation. Imagine, decree, manifest. God thought about the light that shines in the darkness (imagine). God said: "Let there be light" (decree). And there was light (manifest). Let us do our imagining with our emotion and mind.

Before we go on let us take up the following ancient concepts. Chapter 3 of this book mentioned the Eclessiastes 12:6 talking about the golden bowl, pitcher, fountain, wheel, and cistern. Ecclesiastes seems to talk about vessels that hold some kind of liquid. Jeremiah 2:13 makes it clear by saying: "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."

In eastern religious philosophy these are energy centers in our whole being called chakra. There are seven of them:

1. Heart-located at the center of the chest. The heart is connected to the Father in heaven by the silver cord. It supplies living water to all the chakras and all parts of our being.

2. Throat-radiates what the heart is full of when we speak. It radiates the creative (destructive) power of words.

3. Solar plexus-radiates our emotions, our desires.

4. Third eye-senses and discerns beyond the ability of the five senses.

5. Seat of the Soul-as the name implies, this is where our soul is seated.

6. Crown-here is where our intelligence and wisdom dwell. This is the source of enlightenment.

7. Base-the foundation of our physical existence.

The chart on the next page illustrates their existence in our being:

Many of us have forgotten how the presence of God looks like within us. We can take our portrayal from revelation. There is a river of the water of life as clear as crystal flowing from the throne of the Father and of the Lamb. This flowing crystal river flows through your silver cord mentioned in chapter 3 of this book. Imagine this cord attached to your heart. Enlarge it in your mind from being a cord to becoming a channel of light from above. Then let that channel of light make your heart and the other chakras glow and shine brightly. It makes your whole body shining as brightly as the blinding glow of the sun.

You should be in a very relaxed state when you do this. You can make yourself as relaxed as you can by reclining or lying as comfortably as you can. Then take a deep breath, hold for a second and release your breath as slowly as you can. Five repetitions would be fine, but you can do that as many times as you feel necessary.

Continue to imagine the light taking complete control and dominion over your whole being. Then saying the following can start the decree stage:

I Am a child of YaHuWaH

Through my beloved Savior Yahuswa

I love my YaHuWaH with all my heart,

Soul, mind, and strength

I love my neighbor as myself

We are all children of YaHuWaH

Through my beloved Savior Yahuswa

The crystal river of living water flows

Through me and cleanses my

Whole being

Emmanuel

Emmanuel

Emmanuel

I Am healed

I Am healed

I Am healed.

The most powerful part of this decree are the names YaHuWaH and Yahuswa , because it is the name of the Father and the Son, respectively. However, they lose power if by choice you reject or doubt the names. Doing so makes you use the power of choice against the names, and remember God gives in to the power of our will. That is how powerful you are. You have the power to neutralize God's power in you because by God's desire you are also God. Now we will use our power of choice in line with the power of God. Let us see the result.

This decree may look so simple. It should be simple, because the sub-conscious can only understand simple and repetitive instruction. It does the rest. Simple as it may be, but it requires some determination to make time to do it. The decree will only work if repeated frequently.

You must find time to repeat this for about fifteen

minutes three times a day, one upon rising in the morning, one at siesta, and one at bedtime. If it is hard to do at mid-day, you can just do it twice, one in the morning and one at bedtime. The perfect day for this is on the day you set for fasting, especially on the Sabbath day. It pleases God for us to remember his name and the Sabbath day. I am very sure about that.

This self-programming system works like the songs that we sing in the church. You find yourself humming the song until you reach home. It works like the advertisement on TV. It works like the songs of Solomon and the Psalms of David. It worked for them. It will work for us. It always works. This will wash our robes like shinning linen again, and will make us worthy again of the fruit of the tree of life.

Good luck and May God bless us all. May the power of YaHuWaH WORK AGAIN in us on or before Yahuswa comes again in glory.
CHAPTER 18

THE WORLD AROUND US

This book has presented the reason why our body, which according to the scripture is the temple of the Holy Spirit, crumbles back to the dust where it came from. The reason is simply because the soul is programmed to reject the Spirit from God that makes her alive. Chapter 17 is about programming our soul to accepting the presence of our creator with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. This programming will strengthen the power of life within us. How about the world around us? This is what this chapter is all about.

The reason why this world is in pain, suffering and in the shadow of death should be obvious by now. The reason is that the 7 billion souls now living in this earth is rejecting the presence of the God of life. As we have pointed out earlier in page 51 of this book, the doubt by a single soul like Peter was able to defeat completely the power of our Savior right in front of him. You can just imagine how much rejection power is being wielded by 7 billion souls in this world against the power of God's omnipresence in this part of the universe.

The world today is composed of two major kinds of soul. One kind does not believe in God, and the other believes that there is an intelligent mind behind everything that exists.

Let us talk about the atheist first. He is able to rationalize the existence of the electrons by observing the flow of electricity and their other physical manifestations. He is able to rationalize the existence of the protons because there must be a force to keep the electrons in orbit around the atom. He is able to rationalize the existence of the gluons because there must be a force to hold the protons together at the center of the atom. But he is unable to rationalize the existence of an intelligent mind behind these forces that make the atom exist. He believes that a design as exquisite as the atomic structure can exist without a designer.

The atheist just hates the concept of a creator that they are so reluctant to entertain anything that suggests the existence of God. He ignores the rational evidence of the soul that detaches herself from the flesh body during near death experience and that survives when the flesh body dies. He ignores the studies of thousands of cases proving the existence of the soul because it suggests the existence of God.

He will never believe the story of a patient identifying the medical staff who kept his valuables in a safe place at the time when he was clinically dead in the trauma room. He will strongly refuse to believe the story of a child seeing his father praying in the chapel at the time when doctors agreed his case was hopeless in the ICU.

He will never believe the story of a child telling that he existed in a previous life as his grandpa describing in detail the circumstances surrounding his previous life. No explanation is possible for him to believe even how logical it may be.

He is able to believe that the micro variations observable in an average lifetime of 70 years can develop into a macro variation in billions of years. But he is not able to believe that the observable development of a fetus from non-living substances in the womb for 9 months is just another version of creating a human being from the dust within a day in the book of Genesis.

This belief system is a clear and conscious rejection of the Creator whose presence makes as alive. These kind of souls claims to be growing in numbers very fast as the years go by. They are strongly opposed to the ideas of those who believe in God.

On the other hand the other kind of souls who believe in God, though they differ in some aspects of their belief, solidly strongly oppose the ideas of the atheists. In ancient times, it was easier to further categorize god believers as monotheist and polytheist. The monotheists believe in only one God particularly the God of the Hebrew Scriptures or now generally referred to as the Bible.

The Polytheists believe in many Gods like the Romans, Greeks, Babylonians, Egyptians, and all other peoples of ancient Mesopotamia. They are generally known as the Pagans, or referred to by the Scriptures as the Heathen. Many of their seeds conquered many nations to offer the lives and wealth of their conquest to their Gods. Some of them like the people of Canaan would even offer their own sons and daughters to lifeless idols (Psalm 106:38).

The Incas and Aztecs of South America practiced the same tradition of human sacrifice offered to their Gods. This looks similar to Nero's making human

torches out of those who believed in the Son of God who died on the cross. This looks like the same form of genocide that killed the first born of Israel when Moses was born. This looks like the same brand of genocide that killed the first born of Israel when the Savior was born. These can be compared to the conquest of Hitler who led his people to war and caused so much bloodshed.

There seems to be a force that moves humans to kill each other like: the conquest of Rome of the nations around her; the invasion of Rome by the Huns; the invasion of Rome by the Barbarians; the Muslim conquest of Rome. Kingdoms and empires rise and fall at the expense of human blood. God believers do these wars, conflicts and blood offering. Which god are they worshiping? Certainly, not the God of the Bible, because He Said in Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith YaHuWaH: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

I remember having to stop singing in the church because the lyrics said something like: "God is happy to see his people die for him." I had to stop singing because I had just read the aforementioned verse from the book of Ezekiel. However, I realized that the song in the church was not talking about the God of Abraham. The song was praising a different God.

Indeed, it is not the God of the Bible that the world worships. The world is giving glory to the serpent that injected the DNA of death in the descendants of Eve. The serpent is also referred to as the great dragon, the Devil, and Satan by Revelation 12:9. He is deceiving the whole world into worshiping many gods, lifeless idols, changed the names of the Father and the Son, and changed the calendar to confuse the world

away from observing the true Sabbath day, all for the purpose of leading people away from the God of the living and near the gates to death.

So, the world is now composed of those who do not believe in God and those who believe in false gods. How true were the words of the Son of God when He said that His kingdom is not of this world in John 18:36. This world is not worshiping the God that created the universe and who makes every heart of men beat. This world is praising and giving thanks to dead idols, and calling on the wrong name of the Father. The Gospel is preached all over the world in the name of God Jupiter.

So, again, Satan is using the psycho-emotional power of the 7 billion people of this world to reject the power of God and provoke God to anger continually to his face (Isaiah 65:3). Now, what we should be doing is to do something even in our small way to reverse the situation. Let us use our psycho-emotional power to accept the presence of YaHuWaH in our minds and in our hearts.

We already have presented in the previous chapter how to start the reprogramming process with our selves first. Now let us expand the same process to the world around us. Let us add the following autosuggestion phrases in our daily practice:

I am a being of light

I am a being of life

I am a being of love

Raised from the dust of the earth

Made in the image of Yahuswa

By every word that YaHuWaH speaks.

Again, since we already know the name of the Father and the name of the Son, we use them in our affirmation to make sure we are not calling on a wrong God (Joel 2:32). Let us remember the Sabbath day by restraining ourselves from doing work whenever possible. We only have twelve hours to restrain our selves from doing any work beginning from dawn and ending with dusk. It would not be easy because we are not aligning with the world tradition. We can start by exerting every effort to do as little work as we can on that day.

Let us try very hard to remember the feasts prescribed by YaHuWaH:

Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27)

Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:34)

Feast of Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24)

Feast of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6)

Feast of Weeks Exodus 34:22)

First Fruits (Leviticus 23:10)

Passover (Leviticus 23:5)

We can find out when will these feast be by using the Calendar in worldslastchance.com. Again, we would not be able to do it perfectly since we are not aligning with the world tradition on feasts. However, awareness of the feast would be a good start. We should celebrate them whenever we can.

We should also be aware of what we should eat as prescribed in Leviticus Chapter 11.

Then we can teach our children whatever practice we have been able to do and make them be aware of all these things. Let us make sure these knowledge and practices are handed down to our children's children. This way we may increase the number of souls that welcome the presence of YaHuWaH and his son Yahuswa in this world. The more souls that know and practice these things, the more will the presence of light, life and love be in this earth.

Going back to the autosuggestion we had, we can replace the phrase "I am" with the name of our loved one. For example: the name of your wife, your son, or your daughter, your mother, your father or whoever needs healing or help.

If your son's name is Joseph for example you can recite"

Joseph is a being of light

Joseph is a being of life

Joseph is a being of love

Raised from the dust of the earth

Made in the image of Yahuswa

By every word that YaHuWaH speaks

We can also use the autosuggestion to welcome the presence of God in our house saying:

This house is a house of light

This house is a house of life

This house is a house of love

Made by the power of Yahuswa

By every word that YaHuWaH speaks

We can also use the verses to pray for Israel by saying:

Israel is a nation of light

Israel is a nation of life

Israel is a nation of love

Raised by the power of Yahuswa

By every word that YaHuWaH speaks

We can also use the verses to welcome the presence of God in the earth by saying:

The earth is a world of light

The earth is a world of life

The earth is a world of love

Created by the power of Yahuswa

By every word that YaHuWaH speaks

These words will radiate from our throat chakra a powerful vibration to the ethers of the universe that will attract the kingdom of heaven to the earth. This will make the will of the Father be done on earth as it is in heaven. The more souls saying this everyday, and the more the words are repeated, the stronger will the power of our words be.

We do not need to go out to the streets and shout. We do not need to go to the battlefield and shed blood. We do not need weapons that kill and destroy. Our weapons are our mind, emotion, and the power of the words that we speak, aligned with the Spirit of God; we will drive the forces of darkness out of the temple of the Holy Spirit; and ultimately out of this world and welcome and receive YaHuWaH, His Son and His angels.

God has started the story of eternal life in heaven. Now let God write the rest of the story on earth through us. Amen.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
