There are two emotions that I’ve labeled ‘Source Emotions’.  These two emotions are the ‘Source’ of every other emotion.  The two ‘Sources’….Love and Fear.   The events of 9/11 pulled from these two sources.  Now although you can not EXPERIENCE BOTH of these Sources at the SAME time, if you step back out of the matrix, you will see that they do BOTH EXIST at the same time.  And it is during ‘tragic’ times that they BOTH make their GRAND appearances.

Now when I see the video clips of that day, I see them BOTH.  Because I have cleared my mind and spirit of what I ‘thought’ I was seeing, EYE can now SEE.   What I see now is the RAWNESS of those Source Emotions.  I now see Love and Fear in their purest forms.  I see people reaching out to help one another without regards to their own safety.  I see people carrying another person’s child from the rubble.  I see rivers of tears flowing, not because they are in physical pain, but because they are grieving about the pain of another.  In this picture, I see unity….and undeniable ONENESS.  I see  LOVE.

However, when I turn around, I see Fear.  I see video clips of people who are angry. They are speaking words of hatred and revenge.  People are calling for justice.  Demanding that whoever is responsible be put to death.  I also see that their calls were answered.  We are still at war.  Many more of our family, friends and loved ones have been killed.   All because of FEAR.  All because we now see ourselves as SEPARATE.  It’s now me (us) AGAINST you (them).

The ironic thing about it all…..DURING the events of 9/11 guess which Source showed up?  Yep, LOVE.  It was only AFTER we had a chance to put meaning to those events did FEAR show up.  In the heat of the moment, WHO WE REALLY ARE showed up…..LOVE.   However after our EGOs decided that this was ‘wrong’, we begin to FEAR.  And it was that FEAR that caused us to look at another as the enemy rather than an extension of us.

How will you remember 9/11?  Will you remember the Love  or will you remember the Fear?

I choose to remember BOTH, yet act/re-act from Love…..

To many people, the picture of the bunnies in the eggs are cute.  To me…..PURE FOOLISHNESS.  Rabbits, don’t lay eggs and they most CERTAINLY don’t lay colorful, BOILED eggs.  If you’re anything like me, you DON’T like being DECEIVED.  So here are a few facts for your consideration…..

“Ishtar”, which is pronounced “Easter” was a day that commemorated the resurrection of a pagan god that they called “Tammuz”, who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god.

In those ancient times, there was a man named Nimrod, who was the grandson of one of Noah’s son named Ham.  Ham had a son named Cush who married a woman named Semiramis.Cush and Semiramis then had a son named him “Nimrod.”

After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother and became a powerful King.  The Bible tells of of this man, Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows: “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad,and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.”

Nimrod became a god-man to the people and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon.  Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut in pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.  Semiramis had all of the parts gathered, except for one part that could not be found.  That missing part was his reproductive organ. Semiramis claimed that Nimrod could not come back to life without it and told the people of Babylon that Nimrod had ascended to the sun and was now to be called “Baal”, the sun god.

Semiramis was creating a mystery religion, and she set herself up as a goddess.  Semiramis claimed that she was immaculately conceived.  She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full.  She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River.  This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Semiramis became known as “Ishtar” which is pronounced “Easter”, and her moon egg became known as “Ishtar’s” egg.”  Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive.

The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.  Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god, Baal. Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter.

The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig.  Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz was now ascended to his father, Baal, and that the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son and Spirit.

Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the “Mother of God and Queen of Heaven”, continued to build her mystery religion.  The queen told the worshippers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.

She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.  During this time, no meat was to be eaten.  Worshipers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz, and to make the sign of the “T” in front of their hearts as they worshiped.  They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a “T” or cross on the top.

Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made.  It was Ishtar’s Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs.  Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.

The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of Jesus.  The truth is that the forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbits,hot cross buns and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion of Mystery Babylon.

So much more could be discovered and uncovered, if you are a SEEKER OF THE TRUTH.  I don’t want you to take my word for it.  Do your OWN research.  Study to show THYSELF, approved.

Be Not Deceived…..

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  James 1:8, KJV

Most people I encounter are living their lives in purgatory which I believe can be worst than living in hell.  At least in hell you get accustomed to the heat and live your life out accordingly.  Purgatory, on the other hand, is the state of limbo.  You don’t quite know what you might get.  Could be hot one minute and cold the next.  You see, purgatory is the temporary condition of torment or suffering.  And although it is considered ‘temporary’, some people have made purgatory their PERMANENT residence.   Day in and day out, they create tormenting thoughts and they suffer the consequence of those thoughts.  We say we want one thing and yet live, move and are BEing the COMPLETE OPPOSITE.  This is what I call being DOUBLE MINDED.  One mind says I want to LIVE while the other mind says I am DYING.  And as the scripture states above, a double minded man is UNSTABLE in all his ways.  The double minded man (or woman) lives their life in a state of purgatory.  And in purgatory, there is not stability.

You possess within you the ability to create ANY life you want to live.  And if you don’t like the life you’re living……CHANGE IT.  There is a way out of purgatory.  BE OF ONE MIND….it’s as simple as that!!!!!  Decide what you want for your life and do ONLY those things that will get you to where you say you want to be.   If you say you want wealth, DO only the things that a wealthy person would do.  Invest, save, invest, save and invest and save some more.  If you say you want health,  DO only those things that a healthy person would do.  Eat nourishing foods, drink water, exercise, detox, meditate, fast.  If you say you want peace, DO only those things that a peaceful person would do.  Clear the clutter, remove yourself from drama and negativity, make room for better.

Don’t worry about packing your bags.  Heaven awaits with EVERYTHING you’ll ever need just on the other side of PURGATORY.

Walk In Your Shoes – Pt 1

Walk In Your Own Shoes – Pt. 2

As I talked with several people on today I was reminded of my promise and my path was illuminated.  I began to let go of the cursed  how’s.  I noticed that after each conversation my back straightened and my head was lifted…..literally.  I smiled from the inside out.  I was receiving confirmation and clarity.  I was reminded that if Spirit had given me a vision, then as long as I obeyed the laws, then Spirit would make provisions.

A biblical scripture came to mind as well today.  Proverbs 29:18 reads…’Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.  Now I’m sure there are many interpretations of this scripture, this is mine.

Each of us are here for a reason.  We are divinely purposed to be here.  We are NOT mistakes.  And within each of us Spirit has placed a vision.  There is ‘something’ we have been ‘called’ to do and no other can do it for us.  It is our gift to the world.  And when we do not honor this vision, when we neglect and abandon this vision, we perish.

Right now there are so many people working jobs they despise.  They are in relationships that are unhealthy.  They are impregnated with fear.  And like any woman who is ‘past’ her due date, they are miserable and run the risk of perishing.  And just like an impregnated woman, if they do not give birth to that vision, not only will they perish, their vision will also perish.

Now if we just obey Spirit and walk in our vision, we will live happy lives.  You see if you BE who  you are purposed to be and DO what you love, you will HAVE a life of happiness.  All it takes is obedience.  So listen to your Spirit-Man, be open to receiving and watch how Spirit rushes in to provide you with EVERYTHING you need to manifest your vision.

Christmas is not only the celebration of the birth of Jesus, it is also the celebration of the greatest gift given to us all…..the gift of love.  As a matter of fact it is the ULTIMATE gift of love.  From this gift of love springs all other gifts of love.    The story of the birth of Jesus has been told for centuries.  As a matter of fact, the ‘Immaculate Conception’ was told long before the birth of Jesus.  This story has been shared since Egyptian rule.   Now, my purpose here is not to debate these stories or to even ‘prove’ their validity.  My purpose is to show that no matter how far back you go in history, you will find a love story.  And we all can appreciate a good love story.

I know that you are busy with holiday preparations, so I’ll be brief.  In all that you are giving, be sure to give love.  It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Happy Holidays,

J’licious

One of the many services that I offer my coaching clients is a personal session with me once a month.  During these sessions, we recap last month’s meeting and plan of action.   I find out how much action they put into that plan and we develop the next plan of action.  Although each of my clients are different, there is one consistency.  When a client begins his/her sentences with…’I only’, I know they did not complete their assigned tasks.  And if they did not complete their assigned tasks, I know they have not made much progress.  I’ve labeled this the ‘Only-ness Syndrome’.

The Only-ness Syndrome is produced from a lack mentality. 

Recently, I read the book Spiritual Economics: The Principles and Process of True Prosperity.  The author, Eric Butterfield reminded me of the story of Elisha and the widow.  Now, I’m no Bible Thumper; however, this story has such a powerful message that I had to share it with my clients.  (If you are not familiar with the story, you will find it in KJV, II Kings 4th chapter.)  The widow’s husband died leaving her responsible for his debts.  Creditors came asking for payment of the debt.  When she explained that she did not have money to repay the debt, the creditors wanted to take her sons as payment.  So, she went to Elisha requesting that he help her to pay the debt in order to spare her sons.  Elisha asked her, ‘what do you have in your house?’.  And because she was stricken with the ‘Only-ness Syndrome’, she answered, ‘I only have a pot of oil’.  Elisha, on the other hand, knew there was abundance all around.  He instructed her to gather all the vessels she owned and to go out and borrow vessels from neighbors and friends.  And because he knew the power of abundance, he made sure to tell her….don’t just borrow a few.  She did as she was instructed and watched every vessel fill with oil.  Once every vessel was filled, she went back to Elisha.  He then instructed her to go out, sell the oil and pay her debt.  See, as long as you have an empty vessel, an understanding that there is only abundance, your life will be filled.

When living in the Only-ness  Syndrome, you do not leave room for abundance. Although abundance is all around you, you do not tap into the source.  Instead you can ‘only have’ because you ‘only see’.  It is your Divine Birthright to live in abundance.  Claim your entitlement and watch amazing things unfold.  You are created in abundance, formed of abundance and ceaselessly supported in abundance.  Let go of the ‘Only-ness Syndrome’.  Live your life in fullness.

“You can never know the journey of another person. You can never know what is being birthed. Resist the need to judge or compare because you just don’t have enough information.”

I’m not much of a TV watcher and I am definitely not into the ‘NEWS’.   However, I could not escape all the media attention given to Bishop Eddie Long these days.  Long story (no pun intended) short, Bishop Long has been accused by four young men of using his ‘spiritual authority’ to win sexual favors.  It is well known that Bishop Long preaches against homosexuality and same-sex marriages.  As a matter of fact,  in December 2004 Bishop Long led a “Re-Ignite the Legacy” march through the streets of Atlanta, GA to, in his own words, “present a vision of righteousness and justice.”

Now the story of ‘fallen’ preacher is not new.  And the story of  religious leaders accused of sexual crimes has been told and re-told countless times.  Most of those stories tell the tale of homosexuality and coercion.  Why is that?  Could it be because same-sex encounters would prevent pregnancies, unwanted children and proof?  Possibly.  Or could it be because same-sex encounters has the sting of not only guilt but SHAME?  And with shame (as we all know) things are kept hidden.  No one speaks about what they are ashamed of.  And when they do speak, it’s usually about what the other person has done to them.  They usually play the Shame Blame Game.

One thing for sure, these accusations against Bishop Long has people talking.  Talking about their own experience with sexual abuse and their beliefs regarding sexual orientation.  People are now sharing their lives openly when before they were too ashamed.  Have you noticed that when one accuser steps up that 2, 3 , and maybe even more begin to come forward?  That’s because now they don’t feel so alone.  They don’t feel so ashamed.  They now understand that there are others that have experienced similar things in their lives.  They now have what I would call a “comradery of victims”.

I am not writing to convict or to prove innocence in Bishop Long’s case.  As the beginning of my post suggests, I just do not have enough information to make that call.  And honestly, I don’t think it’s my call to make. Nor am I writing to ‘make small’ of the accusers accusations.  I applaud them for regaining control of their lives by speaking out.   I am writing however,  to suggest that whatever has happen in your lives that you hold YOURSELVES accountable.

You see, we all agree to come here (earth) to fulfill a certain purpose.  Most of us have yet to figure out our own purpose.  How can we possibly figure it out for someone else? 

Sending light, love and blessings you way,

J-licious
