You may want to read this article from the newsletter of Dr. Mercola as a kind of follow-up to previous articles on Gerald Pollack:

“Water is clearly one of the most important factors for your health—especially when you consider that your body actually consists of over 99 percent water molecules! I sincerely believe water is a really underappreciated part of the equation of optimal health.

“I’ve previously interviewed Dr. Gerald Pollack, who is one of the leading premier research scientists in the world when it comes to understanding the physics of water, and what it means to your health.

“Besides being a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington, he’s also the founder and editor-in-chief of a scientific journal called Water, and has published many peer-reviewed scientific papers on this topic. He’s even received prestigious awards from the National Institutes of Health.

“His book, The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor, is a phenomenal read that is easy to understand even for the non-professional.”

 Each week of the liturgical year, a reading from Second Advent Scripture is delivered as part of the Saturday Communion of Fellowship Service held in the Chapel of the Holy Child. This reading follows the Sacred Calendar of the Church; that is, Prophecies and Revelations that have been received by The Church on sacred dates are recalled in a liturgical context during the appropriate season each year. This reading is delivered by the Officiant of the Communion Service (that is, Bishop Gene Savoy, or occasionally in his stead, Bishop Sean Savoy) just before the final blessings. Each service also includes a reading from the ancient scriptures, prayers, or wisdom sayings of various world religions past and present and is usually thematically related to the Second Advent Reading. This reading is delivered by the Reader right after the announcements that begin the service and is thus the first reading of the service. An audio recording of the reading from Second Advent Scripture delivered on the date above is provided here below together with a transcript of the first reading of the service that day.

SECOND ADVENT PROPHECY AND REVELATION

A Reading from the Prophecy to the Races of Man, Chapter 63, “An Unfulfilled Prophecy Revealed” (pp. 403-412):

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Book of Baruch:

“The Oath of Secrecy”

If you would know what eye has not seen nor ear heard

and what has not arisen in the human heart,

and who stands high above all good,

swear to keep the mystery of instruction secret.

Our father, who saw the good perfected in him,

has kept the mysteries of silence secret.

He has sworn and will not waver.

Here is his oath:

“I swear by the one over all, which is the Good,

to keep these mysteries, to tell them to no one,

and not to go from the Good back to the creation.”

When you take this oath, you enter the Good

and see what eye has not seen nor ear heard

and what has not arisen in the human heart.

You drink from the living water,

the washing, the spring of living water bubbling up.

And there was a separation of waters from waters,

and the waters below the firmament belong to the evil creation.

In them are washed those who are earthly and psychic.

The waters above the firmament belong to the Good

and are alive. The spiritual and the living are washed in them

as Elohim was after the washing. He did not waver.

The pier at the Sanctuary pond is 12 feet wide by 30 feet long and uses three 30-foot street light poles for the support base. PHOTO: Elizabeth Reece

The pier at the Sanctuary pond pictured above was a joint effort by Mike McIntyre and Ted Staver. It took about 6 weeks for them to get to the stage you see in the picture, and it is not yet finished. They plan to put a sun sail over it eventually, perhaps next year.

The idea for the pier came to them during the 2012 Convocation while they were giving a little tour of the water project. They pointed out that some day the pond could be used as an aquaponic system to grow food. Shortly after Convocation they put in a pump feature to aerate the pond to support the aquatic life that is currently in there and also to help clear the water.

Originally, the area around the pond was to be a site for a park. The pier is just a small footprint for things to come in the future.

  “A Christian of the future will be a mystic or he or she will not exist at all.” ~Karl Rahner, a Catholic Theologian

“This statement serves as a poignant reminder that doctrinal accuracy alone (ie., believing the ‘right things’) will never secure the survival of the Christian faith. The truth that Rahner summed up so succinctly is of course that there can be no expression of the mystery of God if there is no experience of the mysterious God. However, there is one further point that needs to be made, that is that there can be no experience of God if there is no mystical approach to the mystery of God.” ~Dion A. Forster

“In other words, reading about God does not bring about enlightenment anymore than reading financial books makes you wealthy or reading diet books makes you lose weight. Yet we have many Christians today who worship the Bible as if it were God rather than a book about God.”

Winnemucca Lake petroglyphs PHOTO: Benson LV et al

“A new study reported in the Journal of Archaeological Science shows Winnemucca petroglyphs, the oldest known petroglyphs in North America, date to at least 10,500 years ago and perhaps even as far back as 14,800 years ago.

“Study lead author Dr Larry Benson of the University of Colorado Boulder explained: ‘the petroglyphs located at the Winnemucca Lake petroglyph site 35 miles northeast of Reno consist of large, deeply carved grooves and dots forming complex designs on several large limestone boulders that have been known about for decades.’”

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Gospel of Thomas:

(83) Jesus said, You see images but the light within them is hidden in the image of the father’s light. He will be disclosed, but his image is hidden by his light. (84) …When you see your likeness you are happy. But when you see your images that came into being before you and that neither die nor become visible, how much will you bear!

(85) …Adam came from great power and wealth, but he was not worthy of you. Had he been worthy, he would not have tasted death.

(86) …Foxes have their dens and birds have their nests, but the human child has no place to lay his head and rest.

(87) …How miserable is the body that depends on a body, and how miserable is the soul that depends on both.

(90) Jesus said, Come to me, for my yoke is easy and my mastery gentle, and you will find rest for yourselves.

(91) They said to him, Tell us who you are so that we may believe in you. He said to them, You examine the face of heaven and earth but you have not come to know the one who is in your presence, and you do not know how to examine this moment.

(92) Jesus said, Seek and you will find….

(93) Do not give what is holy to dogs. They might thrown them on the manure pile. Do not throw pearls to swine. They might grind it to bits.

(94) …One who seeks will find. For one who knocks it will be opened.

(96) Jesus said, The father’s kingdom is like a woman who took a little yeast , hid it in dough, and made large loaves of bread. Whoever has ears should hear.

 (99) (His) students said to him, Your brothers and your mother are outside. He said to them, Those here who do the will of my father are my brothers and my mother. They will enter my father’s kingdom.

(100) They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to him, Caesar’s people demand taxes from us. He said to them, Give Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, give god the things that are god’s, and give me what is mine.

(101) Those who do not (despise) their father and mother as I do cannot be my students, and those who do not love their father and mother as I do cannot be my students. For my mother brought me forth but my true mother gave me life.

(108) Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me. I myself shall become that person, and the hidden things will be revealed to that one.

 (110) …You who have found the world and become wealthy, renounce the world.

(111) The heavens and earth will roll up in your presence and you who live from the living one will not see death. Shame on the flesh that depends on the soul. Shame on the soul that depends on the flesh.

(113) His students said to him, When will the kingdom come? Jesus said, It will not come because you are watching for it. No one will announce, “Look, here it is.” or “Look, there it is.” The father’s kingdom is spread out upon the earth and people do not see it.

Waves of goodness
Know your truth
Feel grateful
In your youth

Strength not power
Brave and bold
From this day
Until you’re old

Just say yes
Witness wow
Love yourself
The time is now

Now’s the time
Vibration raising
You are special
Plus amazing

That’s not all
You’re precious too
Literally awesome
Because you’re you

Say your prayers
With intention
Take deep breaths
Release your tension

If you believe
It’s all good
It likely is
So you likely should

by Matthew Madonna

For years, I’ve been interested in the Buddhist concept of skillful perception: healing your own pain and not adding more suffering to the world. I think leaders in the Intuitive Age are going to be skillful perceivers and practical visionaries—those whose feet are firmly grounded on the earth, with heaven in every cell. You can be a leader, inventor, healer, or truth communicator. You can set an example for others by the way you live, how you share, and what you say. You can be a spokesperson for the soul. … Instead of waiting for someone else to improve a situation, if you think of something that would help, you’re the one who is supposed to do it. The collective consciousness caused you to notice the idea for a good reason. ~Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

“An excellent philosophy that is somewhat similar to what I was taught in college by my professor in Systems Analysis: all solutions create new problems so look for the solution that creates the smallest new problem.”
