Om is the Sacred syllable which is known to represent the absolute Truth. You can only understand the Holy scriptures of sacred texts when you have faith and are capable of understanding the verses with your heart. Sacred texts are not to be taken word for word as a rule of things you should do and should not do but as a guide and inspirational tool, for this texts where inspire by God, and are the wisdom of seers, sages, and or prophets. These books consist of stories epic tales such as the stories of genesis, Noahs arc, etc. This books are prayers and poems to the Creator, and advised which can be understood depending on the individuals belief system or locus of control, and or personal point of view. This is because of the fact that God made us all unique in our own ways of thinking and opinions.

"All Wisdom comes from the Lord,

And Wisdom is with him forever.

Who can count raindrops,

Or the sand along the shores?

Who can count the days of eternity?

How high is the sky?

How wide is the Earth?

How deep is the Ocean?

How profound is Wisdom?

Can anyone find answers

To this questions?

Wisdom was created before anything else,

Understanding has always existed.

Has anyone ever been shown where Wisdom originates.

Does anyone understand her (Goddess) subtle cleverness.

There is only one who is wise,

And we stand in awe

Before his throne (God).

The Lord himself created Wisdom.

He saw her (Goddess of Wisdom),

And recognized her value,

And so,

He filled everything he made with wisdom.

He gave some measure of Wisdom to everyone

But poured her out on those who love him.

If you fear the lord,

Honor and pride will be yours.

You will be crowned

With happiness

And joy.

To honor the lord is a

Heartfelt delight.

It will give you

A long happy life,

And at the end of

Your days all will go well for you.

God will bless you

On the day of your death."

How He saved,

He raised me,

How He filled me with the Holy Ghost,

How He healed me to the uttermost,

When I think about the Lord,

How he picked me up,

Turned me around,

Of all the glory,

And all the praise!

"Krishna (God),

I see my kinsmen gathered here,

Wanting war.

My limbs sink,

My mouth is parched,

My body trembles,

The hair bristles on my flesh.

The magic bow

Slips from my hand,

My skin burns,

I cannot stand still

My mind reels.

I see omens of chaos,

I see no good in killing my

Kinsmen in battle....."

Arjuna,

Sad and tearful,

Seeks council,

Krishna (God) replies:

"Why this cowardice in

Time of crisis,

Arjuna?

The coward is ignoble,

Shameful,

Foreing to the ways of heaven.

Do not yield to powerlessness,

For it is unnatural in you!

Banish from your heart.

Look to your own duty,

And do not tremble before it."

Science Has A Magical Origin.

The first people who perform the earliest disclosure of the universal rules were magicians, astrologers, and alchemist (Universal Life Force = God), for this man of wisdom practioners of earlie science (magical philosophical concepts) contributed to mathematics, physics, astronomy, and even medicine. This earlie men of wisdom had their expectations centered in the concept that their knowledge could be put to a more practical purpose, and so Astrologers applied intricate mathematical calculations in order to ascertain the location of the heavenly bodies, whose positions and movements (they believed) affected the course of events on the Earth. John Dee, was an English man of wisdom (magician and astrologer) in Queens Elizabeth l's court, and he lectured on mathematics, and used his knowledge to help English sailors develop new methods of navagation. He believed that the universe was controlled by supernatural forces. Alchemists used mixtures of chemicals as well as elements in search of the philosopher's stone, a mysterious substance that could change worthless materials in to precious ones (led change in to gold). This men of wisdom mixed and distilled chemicals, and by doing this, they laid the foundation for what is known now as modern chemestry.

The most famous Alchemist, his name was Paracelsus; he discovered many basic chemical processes. (References Encyclopedia).

Astanga Yoga - This is the Yoga dicipline of the "eightfold path" consisting of Yama and Niryama or moral practises, asana or body postures, pranayama or sensory withdrawal, dharana or steadying the mind, dhyana or meditation, and samaddhi or deep meditation or contemplation of God the Supreme Universal Soul that exist within our hearts. Buddhi Yoga - is a yoga of unconditional service to the Creator and other human beings. It is known as the highest use of wisdom. This yoga dicipline connects one with the Supreme Universal Life Force/The Creator. It had been scientifically proven that if stress is not manage it can result in heart trouble and or heart attacks because of the fact that the bood pressure and or heart rate can become affected from stress. (Reference book PATH), Yoga practise and transendential meditation=prayer can help one overcome the psycological causes underlying stress and our bodies negative response to it. Yoga can help one retake control over ones emotions. An African Proverb goes like this, "Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors." Buddhi Yoga - is a yoga of unconditional service to the Creator and other human beings. It is known as the highest use of wisdom. This yoga dicipline connects one with the Supreme universal life force = The Creator. A Yiddish Proverb goes like this, "Bad habits are easier to abandon today than tomorrow." Kundalini Yoga - focuses on activating the energy centers of the body called Chakras. The Chakras are seven cores of energy in our bodies.

Stress is the way in which our bodies respond to a physical and or mental demand and we all are exposed to stressors daily such as jobs, family, environmental pressures, decision making, etc.... Some stressors = Cause and effect = Karma are: anxiety = more blood rushes to the brain, worrying = muscles tense up, depression = blood pressure increases, frustration = heart rate increases, irritability = adrenaline is secreted, sleep disoder = senses heighten, loneliness = blood sugar increases, confusion = more blood goes to the limbs, lack of concentration = sweating increases. Yoga practise can help one cope with physical and emotional stressors, and give one a feeling of peace and wellness. A Spanish saying goes like this, "what is learned well is never lost."

Yoga is an early science, and or a theory that helps one to unite the body, mind, the spirit (the three dimensions of a person). It allowed the Universal energy of the cosmos = Gods energy to flow freely through ones body. The mission and purpose of yoga is to unite the three dimensions of the body by gradually mastering to still the mind and in this way unify consciusness. Yoga consist of the practice of advanced forms of meditation; there are many ways of practising yoga and many methods, some methods or yoga exercises are easy to do, but others can be very hard to do, sometimes the best way to practise and study yoga is to work with a teacher/Guru and start with easier forms of yoga. Yoga Meditation and sacred text readings helps one become stronger and wiser by having a loving and pure relationship with God=Cosmic Energy or Life Force, because it helps one to work towards letting the old self die and the new transendetial self be born, meditation is a method of relaxation in which one dwells on positive, and calming thoughts. When one meditates religiously, he or she gradually develops spiritual enlightment, materialistic freedom, and inner peace, because one raises his or her conciousness through the chakras (energy centers of the body), and yoga practise can help one to experience inner peace. Agni is the name of the demigod of fire; yoga practise is the transendental fire of transformation or magical door that leads one into a spiritual dimension, awaikening our visions and making our spirits stronger and our minds wiser, and also, yoga practise can give one a feeling of wellness, spiritual joy, and yoga practise is known to be the destroyer of negativity. Yoga is a spiritual dicipline that links oneself to the Supreme Creator, God. The internal, spirit and energy of the Universal Life Force=God/Goddess is called the Yoga-Maya. Maya is the name of a demigoddess, she is also called Kali or Durga, and she represents the personification of our material existence. Maya is believed to be the Supreme Goddess=the femenine side of God. Maya is believed to be the Mother of Creation. Maya, this Goddess is in connection with material nature. The mission of the Goddess Maya is to permit others to experience and live out their illusions in the material world. Maya=Goddess=Femenine side of God, she manifest herself as Yoga-Maya. The philosophy of Yoga-Maya is that its mission is to Create a spiritual magical door or dimension that one can penetrate into and become one with the main source of all existence=The Universal Life Force=Gods Energy. Siva is the demigod that is in charge of the material mode of ignorance and who annihilates the material cosmo. Overall, the Yoga dicipline helps one become one with the Creator=Divine being. The Creator=Great Spirit=The Supreme Soul which is one with the Universe=The Soul is the part that is eternal and undergoes no changes like the body does. The Soul=The Kuta-Stha=steady small atomic fragment of the Supreme Spirit or God. The Soul does not go through changes, and The Soul does not die; the Super Soul is also callled Paramatma. The ultimate purpose of the Vedic knowledge is to become detach from illusions of the material world and focus on the Creator so that one can become closer to God. (Adapted from the Holy Bhagavad-Gita text 20 of the mithological Sacred Vedic Scriptures (Yoga).) Om is the sacred syllable which is known to represent the absolute Truth. Wisdom and real devotion to the Creator=God have to stand the test of renunciation of the fruits of action, such as sex if not meant for procreation and only with your spouse, eating meat, and materialism such as greed and or foolishness pride, for just mere knowledge of right and wrong will not make one a real spiritual person. The Creator=God deserves our action and unconditional love and service. My favorite prayer that I read somewhere in a sacred text goes something like this: "Almighty Creator=God I have no desire for wealth and neither I desire any man or popularity and or fame, for I only want your causeless devotional service for ever and eternity Amen." One can only understand the Holy scriptures of sacred texts such as the Bible, Bhagavad-Gita, etc.... only when you have faith and are capable of understanding the verses with your heart. In addition, the Bhagavad-Gita is not a collection of rules that one should or should not do, but it is a book with beautiful poems to the Creator=God and advised which can be understood depending on the individuals belief system=his/her locus of control, and or point of view. This is because of the fact that we are all unique in our own ways of thinking and opinions. What is right or lawful for one individual may be wrong or unlawful for another. What is "correct" or permissible in one place may be wrong and not permissible in another place. The Gita text is a beautiful book of ancient verses, moral values, knowledge and wisdom, but this sacred book of the Yoga philosophical concept is beyond any human intellect, because it is essentially addressed to the human heart, and to ones imagination and or feelings. Some yoga methods or styles are:

Creative Yoga Writing - This yoga is a method of yoga practise which is known to unite ones, mind, body, and spirit. You see, free writing is a form of relaxation, of transendental meditation, and of visualization, and of developing the practise of yoga writing as a form of increasing the awareness of ones creative mind. Yoga writing helps one to developed patience, persistence, and or self-dicipline as well as self-acceptance.

Bhakti Yoga - is a philosophical concept of complete love an devotion to the Creator as it is stress in the Vedas Holy text of Verses known as the Gita.

Urdhva Mukha Svanasana - This yoga exercise consist of the person to lie face down, and then place both of your hands under your shoulders with your fingers spread wide. Then, straighten your elbows, and lift you chest and your upper body off the floor, and push the heels of your hands into the floor, and keep your head level, and your shoulders down and back, and then breath evenly, holding your stretch position for about 20-30 seconds.

Tivamukti yoga - This yoga method focussed on spiritual teachings, postures, chanting, meditation, music, readings, and are all incorporated into one class.

This principles include proper breathing (Pranayama), a vegetarian diet, proper relaxation (Savana), study of the Vedas or Vedic Scriptures, meditation, and abstaining from sex except for the making of a child.

Ashtanga yoga - This yoga consist of 8 steps which are as follows: 1-Spiritual practises such as nonviolence, truthfulness, nonstealing, continence, and absence of greed.

A research at the University of Pensilvania school of medicine showed that by doing some yoga exercises, some people can reduce pain in the wrist, and improve flexibility, and even reduced numbness, by practising some simple yoga posture exercises. This postures are believed to increase blood flow -Refferemces- Maramatha Christian Journal - Medical School to examine role of Religion - Social Science and Medicine American Journal of Public Health -Book natural Cures and Gentle Medicines. Several years ago, a University of Southern California Researched found out that walking for at least 15 minutes can help one in easing muscle tension as well as relieving anxiety, and many years ago, the University of Wisconsin researched found out that running at least three times a week for 30 minutes or more can help to reduce symtoms of depression.

A goal is a dream to which positive action is added in order to make it a commitment to strive for.

Positive behavioral change is important for ones well-being, for one way to get rid of stress is positive behavior such as the practise of Arobics or Yoga exercises and or meditation and or prayer. This can help one cope with daily pressures. Yoga is a philosophy which took place in India over 5,000 years ago and is a great method of relaxation, and it is believed to increase energy, help improve concentration, as well as alertness, and it can help one to manage stress better. Ones brain is the main organ of a persons body, for it is believed to regulate all the chemical process which keeps a person well. You see, when a person becomes unhappy and or lose hope or faith in God, that persons autonomic or emotional nervous system slows down the bodily process and ones chances of getting well and feeling well, but when a person have hope and faith in the Creator=God=The Self, then and only then is when the natural curative processes are at work as they should and the person has a much better chance to recover faster than when he/she is unhappy and or has no faith, hope. What is the must important thing is to have faith in God, for having believing in the Creator, and or practising yoga, transendential meditation, prayer, etc... can help ones body to produce the natural pain-killer chemicals known as enkephalins, and this can help to bring about miraculous cures, and less unhappy people.

Jesus used to teach: Courage, humility, compassion, generosity, faith, discipline, joyfulness, gentleness.

Theology is a formulation of knowledge about the Nature of God, and its laws, and or requirements of human beings. It is the study of the Creator (the one with many names and many ways) and of Gods relations to the Universe, and it's the study of religious truth.

One can find anything more inspiring than to read the Bible Epic of Moses and the commendments, and the Epic tales of the Torah, and the Epic tales of Revelation, and the common sense stories of the New Testament.

Jesus the Rebel- He did the unexpected, for he had a very unique and wonderful way of opening peoples eyes, the eyes of the soul, by telling them epic stories, and in this way, reveling the Creator=the Self, In his very unique way. He said, "And you all, will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Meaning when one is a kid, one believes in Sata Claus, but when you mature, then, you can clearly tell fantasy of epic from Truth or common sense.

Jesus my prophet Lord was just as Human as we all are.

"Return, faithless people, declares the lord, for I am your Husband. I will choose you, one from a town and two from a clan, and bring you to Zion. Then, I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding." -Jeremiah 3:14-15

Mission=Understanding others and how they feel, encorage others to share their comments or opinions, and that no one is perfect, and that their are no right or wrong comments or points of view for it all is wisdom, and our own experiences; learn to accept others for who they are. No religion, or belief system, or phylosophical concept, or prophet is better than other, for these are ways to let us see the big picture and help us understand God better. Become community oriented, and include yourself and others in what is going on within your community; give others support and encoragement be it by listening, being there for them, etc..., if you can help others toward fulfilling their potentials, brainstorm together.

2 Timothy is a text that teaches one about Endurance in Ministry. This book is a combat manual which is designed to build up, as well as encourage Timothy to become bold and steadfast in view of the hardships of spiritual warfare.

True spiritual healing = Listening, unconditional love, courage, faith, purpose, determination, as well as self-dicipline.

"True healing has more to do with listening and unconditional love than fixing people." -Gerald Jampolsky and Diane V. Cirincione

No one should despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers: In speach, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. -1 Tim. 4-12

Do you know that the word community (in biological terms) means all the organism that live in an ecosystem Humans as well as Animals.

The prophet Jesus was a sage he used to teach people by telling them stories (parables) Mark 4:33-34 in the Bible's New Testament say, "And with many such parables He (Jesus) spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it, but without a parable (epic) He (Jesus) did not speak to them, and when they were alone, He (Jesus) explained all things to His disciples." Jesus was a sage and a free thinker, someone who in his own way rebel against the hipocresy, and teachings of his time such as corruption of the church back then, and the exploitation and persecution of the Jewish people by the Romans. Tired of what was going on back then, one day, over 2000 years ago, the young man prophet Jesus decided to do something about it, and he proclaimed himself The King of Israel and The Son of God. He knew that this act will later cause for him to be arrested and even killed. People back then saw Jesus as a revolutionary savior who was sent from God to save them from both the corruption of the church and the Romans, but later when the people realized that Jesus was not going to actually fight the Romans or organized some kind of revolt, the people became angry against Jesus and quite scare of the Romans and the church leaders to turn against them, and so, they decided to turn him in and accused him. Jesus used sarcasm by calling himself a King of Israel, making the Romans look silly, and by calling himself God (Himduism and Greek philosophical concept, God=Self) Jesus challenged the church. Jesus was a very brave and courageous young man, and he stood his ground for what he believed even if this would had result in his death. On the other hand, the people in Jerusalem did not like Jesus, and this included his own family. This was the first time in many years that the people of Jerusalem had actually accepted him as a prophet of God; at that time people were very upset at the Romans and at the church and many kept their old beliefs such as that in Jerusalem one of their old rituals were to sacrify a good man or their first male sons to Baal and other Gods for protection and good luck. The results were some people shouting a few days later crusify him and others shouting don't crusify him. Nevertheless Jesus was a wise courageous young man who meant well, but he was just as human as you and me.

Monasticism is the humble existance of monks who live solitary lives of complite devotion, pure love to God, unconditional service to others, religious dicipline, and self-denial.

"If there is righteousness in your heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there be beauty in the character, there will be harmoney in the home. If there is harmoney in the home, there will be order in the Nation. When there is order in the Nation, there will be peace in the world." -Chinese Proverb

"Religious fanaticism shall in the future be known in my states only by the contempt I have for it; nobody shall any longer be exposed to hardships on account of his creed; no man shall be compelled in future to profess the religion of the state if it be contrary to his persuasion." -1787 Joseph II Austria.

"If they (women) be really capable of acting like rational creatures, let them not be treated like slaves...but cultivate their minds... and let them attain conscious dignity by feeling themselves only dependent on God" -Mary Wollstonecraft (1792 Publication, of a Vindication of the Right of Woman)

Mary Wollstonecraft (1792), she believed that women needed a sounder education to make them more serious, charitable, and moral, and that women and men were created equal, but that women received less education.

"Every time you pray, if your prayer is sincere, their will be a new feeling and new meaning in it which will give you fresh courage, and you will understand that prayer is an education." -Feodor dostoevski

"A tent with rustling breezes cool delights me more than palaces high, and more the cloak of simple wool than robes in which I learned to sigh. The crust I ate beside my tent was more than fine bread to me; the wind's voice where the hill path went was more than tamborine can be." -Maysum (year 661)

We all have Gods like capacity to love others unconditionally no matter what.

"He prayeth best, who loveth best, all things both great and small; for the dear god who loveth us He made and loveth all." -Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"If, when you look into your own heart, you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about, what is there to fear?" -Confucius.

Let me share a beautiful list of Do's and Dont's for teachers and parents from an article I once read in a book called American Indians Stereotypes and Realities and it have so much wisdom and true in its words.

It goes something like this,

"Do not teach students that Columbus was a hero without examining his relations with "Indians".

The same can be said about George Armstrong, Custer, Andrew Jackson, George Washington, William Henry Harrison, Teddy Roosevelt,

And others who believed "Indians" to be inferior to Europeans.

The Declaration of Independence refers to "Indians" as "merciless savages"

George Washington bought and sold Indian Lands without tribes permission,

And he faught and killed "Indians" without mercy,

And owned almost 500 African Americans slaves.

In his book the Winning of the West, Theodore Roosevelt wrote that "Indians Are Filthy, Leacherous and Faithless",

In addition to living lives that "were but a few degrees less meaningless, squalid and ferocious than that of the wild beast with whom they held joint ownership".

"Teachers should fight for more well-rounded curriculums that include minority peoples.

This includes critically reviewing texbooks that claim to but do not include a complete history of this country.

They should push for Multi-Cultural Curriculums.

It is important for all of us to attempt to correct false history, for today there are over 2 million American "Indians" In U.S.A.

And millions more (American Indians) in Central and South America.

Their histories and cultures deserve to be portrayed as accurately as those of any other race or culture".

"Do not have students dress as Pilgrims and Indians for thanksgiving.

This is as dishonest. Pilgrims, Puritans and other colonists thought that "Indians" were Heathens and Savages,

And according to some, "The Devil's Diciples" (this is how Pilgrims and Puritans called American Indians).

Within 50 years of the "Thanksgiving Feast," thousands of "Indians" were dead at the hands of colonists and disease.

Thanksgiving, indeed. In fact, many "Indians" recognize Thanksgiving as a "Day of Mourning".

Words of Wisdom, Our Cousins (The Apes)

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 19:10:26 GMT

The existing anthropoids today are monkeys, apes, as well as us humans. All living anthropoids see color, for color vision probably developed early in the hystory of the anthropoids. Scientist have researched and learned much about our human evolution by the study of chimpanzees our closest cousins; they have learned that the nucleotide sequences of humans as well as those of chimpanzee genes differ only by 1.6 percent, for most of the protein encoded by our genes are very much similar if not identical to the corresponding proteins in chimpanzee.

We humans share a common ancestor with our cusins the apes, but the apes from which we all decend are extinct. DNA Sequences have reveled to many scientist researchers about are sooo very close kinship to chimpanzees, for their physical structure, as well as DNA sequences and proteins are sooo very similar to the ones of bonobos and chimpanzees then to those of other living species.

The family of existing apes are the Chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, and the gibbons. Apes are different than monkeys, for they don't have tails, and they have larger brains then the monkeys. It is a sad reality to learned that our cusins the apes are rare today, and that their natural forest habitat has largely started to disappered because of people that has cleared woodland in order to make way for farms. Our cousins (the apes) today are confined to very small areas in Africa and Asia.

Overall:

Science teach us that humans shared a common ancestor with chimpanzees and bonobos until about 5 million years ago.

About 7million years ago the gorilla's ancestors diverged from the ancestor of chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans.

The ancestors of orangutans diverged about 8 million years ago.

The ancestors of gibbons diverged from the other apes, at about 10 million years ago.

In the late 60's a group of hippies became known as been part of a new revival called the Jesus Movement.

This was a very creative time when music, poetry, and an open form of expression and the spirit of mission turn a new generation on to the Creator.

This Jesus Movement merged rock and roll with spiritual teachings; this were the roots of todays group known as Contemporary Christian Music.

Decates later this new generation is embracing that same passion for expression; having a passionate heart for the Creator with many names and many ways, and a

willingness to extend that passion in to all areas of life.
