“Ghada Chehade: Criteria for a New Model of Cosmology”

 

 

Given the current crisis in the Standard Model of Cosmology—plagued by mounting anomalies and contradictions this model cannot resolve—many scientists find it is no longer a reliable guide to problem-solving.

These scientists believe the Standard Model will eventually will be replaced by a different model speaking a fundamentally different language—making the old and new models irreconcilable and incompatible—which means that they cannot coexist.

Ghada Chehade, PhD, an accredited discourse analyst, establishes the criteria—using Thomas Kuhn’s paradigm shift cycle—for a new model of cosmology, and explores some alternatives to see if they meet this criteria.

“Gareth Samuel: Electrically Stressed Stars”

 

 

 

Conventional science says the largest stars are near the end of their life—and will expel vast amounts of material to form a planetary nebula. In an Electric Universe, these stars are deprived of electrons which forces their outer plasma sheath to expand. A planetary nebula is not the remnants of a dying star but is connected and lit up in glow mode due to a pinching event around the star itself.

Gareth Samuel, EU advocate and creator of “See the Pattern,” examines the rings and jets of V Hydrae—a carbon red supergiant 2,000 light-years from Earth—and why it’s launching balls of plasma into space.

A Prayer From the Soul

I, a poor unworthy creature, come before thee, o Great and Holy God, and lift up my eyes to thee. Though I am not worthy, yet Your great Mercy, and Your faithful promise in the Word, have now encourages me to lift the eyes of desire of my Soul up to You. For my Soul has now laid hold of the Word of Thy Promise, and received it into itself, and therewith come to You. And though it is but a strange child which was disobedient; and does now infold itself with its desire into that Word which became Man, which became flesh and blood, and has broken sin and death in my humanity. Which has changed the anger of God into love unto the Soul, and has deprived Death of his Power, and Hell of its victory over Soul and body; and has opened a gate for my Soul to the clear Face of Thy Strength ad Power. O Great and most Holy God, I have brought the hunger and desire of my Soul into this most Holy Word, and now I come before You, and in my hunger call unto You, the Living Fountain, through thy word. … I receive it firmly into the Desire of my Soul as my own life and I pierce into You with the Desire of my Soul through the Word in Christ.” ~Jacob Boehme

Unworthy Creature

Boehm starts his prayer by saying he is an “unworthy Creature”. This seems more than a little harsh, but it makes the point that we should approach God with humility, not as if we are the masters asking a servant to do something for us. We need to recognize that God is the greatest being that exists and individually, we humans are not as important as we like to think we are.

Faithful Promise

Again Boehm says he is not worthy but God will listen to his prayer because God has promised to do so. God listens to those who pray with humility and are seeking spiritual growth rather than material things. It is fine to ask God to help you solve your money problems, or to heal the illnesses of the body, but not to just ask him for a car or a new house simply because you want one. Those pleas will be heard by Satan, the god of matter, and he may provide what you ask, but will demand payment at a later time.

My Soul Has Received the Word

Only the awakened soul can “hear” the Word of God. Only an awakened soul can reach the high level of consciousness that allows it to communicate with God and the Angels. And the true Word of God can only come to us this way. It can’t be found in any book or scripture. It can’t be gained by intellectual development. It must be gained by the awakened and developed Soul.

Anger into Love

Boehm says that the awakened Soul that has received the Word of God, changes God’s anger into love. That isn’t exactly what happens. When the Soul becomes enlightened, it simply knows that God was never asgry with it, but always ha love for the Souls He created. God may bee disapointed when we don’t follow a path of spiritual growth, but He isn’t angry about it. It is the false God, the Demiurge, that gets angry and jealous, not the true God in Heaven that created our Spirits and Souls.

My Hunger Calls

Once the Soul is awakened, it hungers for God, it hungers for Heaven. It is never satisfied with the material world. It hungers to bathe in the waters of the Living Fountain of God. The Living Fountain of God is theLight that God sends out to us through the Spiritual Sun to awaken and nourish our spiritual faculties. Once that light awakens the Soul, it must be feed Light regularly so that it will grow and become the fully enlightened Soul that it has the potential to be. It is something that we have to work at for one time. It is the only way to become truly immortal. That is why Boehm wants us to pray in this way. It isn’t necessary to memorise his prayer and repeat it regularly. What needs to be done is to pray according to the spirit of this prayer while we take in the Light of the Spiritual Sun at dawn.




WEEKLY MESSAGE: October 5, 2022

 

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

The Twenty-third Saying (Part 7)

“‘Jamil was entirely different from any person I ever knew. People in this Church are different. When people have been touched by God and made immortal, they live in the future after the death of the body. That is why they are not afraid. And that is why they are beyond space and time as we understand it; because if they are in the future, they are already immortal. They must have been created immortal in the Mind of God when He touched them. So they have a very unique and special place in the world. That explains why I saw a vision of Jamil before his birth into the world. Jesus often spoke in such terms. He spoke to his disciples about having been born before the world was. He said, “Before Abraham was I am. Before the world was made, I was with God the Father.” That made people think he had to be the Son of God. He had to be God coming to earth to become material so they could kill him. Not so. He was immortal because God had touched his spirit and made him Divine.

“‘That would explain why a person coming in contact with the Church has an inward inclination to participate in it. That is why our numbers are so limited in the early stages of the Church. It is only for the preordained and not for anyone else. It is not for ordinary people. That may sound somewhat elitist or exclusive, but that is the way it is. In all my years of teaching, I found it does not do any good to teach the person who cannot understand or to teach the ordinary person who has a Darkness of Soul. Persons who understand this Teaching really know it in their heart; they know it in their spirit. They recall things I say. They know it all within themselves. And that is something truly amazing, because they know more than the orthodox clergy in these areas of theology we have been discussing. They know it inwardly. All I do is confirm it. But even though they know it, they do not remember it until I teach them, or until they have read something in our scripture, or until they do something in the Church – until they make an effort in the Church to do something and by that work in the Church they learn by doing. Thus, there is a reward in the Church inasmuch as God’s Word and Image is also within The Community as it is in the Sun. Therefore, The Community becomes a small Image and Word manifest in the world. And in the Church, we call this metanoia.’”

Again, if I may be of any personal service to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Very truly yours in Light+,

WEEKLY MESSAGE: September 28, 2022

 

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

 

Wednesday, September 28, 2022

Let me say how grateful I am to everyone for making this year’s Community Convocation and Seminar on Color and Sacred Imagery a resounding success! Please mark your calendar for the next Convocation, which will be held the first week of June 2024.

Let us now continue our review of the Twenty-third Saying of Jamil with The Man addressing the Companions of The Way.

The Twenty-third Saying (Part 6)

“‘Jamil often refers to God as ‘the Father,’ because He is active and He is impregnating us with His Energy and with His Light and His Goodness. The masculine title was given to God the Father, the creative spirit. And we, being of the earth, are considered as the feminine aspect because we are receptive. That is why in ancient times, the Soul was referred to as she – Shekinah. The Wisdom of the Soul was always given the feminine designation. Even the sky and the oceans were likened to the feminine aspect. But the Divine Essence, outside of the sky and outside of the world and of the spirit, was likened unto the Father as a masculine power.

“‘Therefore, we make a Divine Marriage in which we give ourselves over to God. He impregnates our being, a conception takes place, and our spirit is reborn and given life as a Soul. We then become Children of God. We live The Way, we look at the sun and reflect to it, we bring about a change in the sun, the change in the sun affects the world and, very slowly, by our Community effort, the world will change and become restored to Light. How long will that require? I do not know. It will require a Community of men and women to achieve this. And that is basically why the religion of our Church is different from any other religion. We are not solely worshiping God, we are not just practicing our religion as a social activity, we are actually involving ourselves with God in a very creative manner in an effort to change the world on His Terms, not ours because we do not know what He is going to do with this world.’

“Upon hearing these words, the same Companion of The Way said, ‘Then, the preordained, those who will come to The Community, are those who originally lived The Way. They saw God face to face. They lived before.’ In reply, The Teacher said, ‘The pre-ordained are those people who have been touched by God. Their Souls, their spirits, have been quickened by God to do this work, to come into The Community. The motivation is spiritual, not human. What other reason would they have for serving in The Community, especially in the beginning of its formation? To join as disciples of a new religion requires vision and foresight. There is no instantaneous gain or glory. Indeed, there is much sacrifice. But the satisfaction gained by mutual association with others of one’s own kind is reward enough.

“‘It is Divine Reason that brings members to The Community, not human reasoning. There is a spiritual beauty about the membership, seen and observed by one another, though perhaps not by the world that loves physical beauty only. As those same people get older, we love them even more. That love is more than physical; it is a real feeling of companionship, of wanting to be with them because they are like we are. Like seeks like.

“‘Once the spirits of the pre-ordained are touched by God – by the Mind of His Spirit or Consciousness, those persons are reborn and are able to work in this Church by the knowledge given them by God, not by what the Head Overseer of the Church says or the books given them. They recognize the reality of that knowledge because they know from within that it is true. Those are the kind of people that are going to be required to build this Church. And they are different from other people.




“Inside the world’s largest crystal ‘cave’”

 

 

Discovered in 1999 inside an abandoned mine in Southern Spain, Pulpí Geode is the largest crystal ‘cave’ of its kind in the world.

But what exactly is a geode and how do crystals form inside them?

Discover and be amazed by this wonder of nature.

“Michael Clarage: The Light of Life | Thunderbolts”

 

 

 

Life emits light. There is even proof our eyes emit light. To a physicist this is possible since all receivers are also transmitters—a radio antenna can send or receive the same signal. The rhodopsin molecules in the retinal cells absorb and emit the same visible light.

Michael Clarage, PhD, Astrophysicist and Lead Scientist of SAFIRE, explains how we could not have organic life without cells, chemicals, light, electricity, or the ecosystems of the Earth and Sun—all levels of the hierarchy communicate and exchange energy.
