The human body has a storehouse for energy within the solar plexus, just as the sun stores energy for its planetary system. This energy is called Prana or Ki. It is the life force behind all things in our universe.
We can enervate more Ki to any depleted part of the body by using the mind, the nucleus of the body, to direct it to where it is needed. This activates the nucleus within the cells of the body in need of assistance.
Practise the Manipura self-healing method as follows:
lie down in a cornfortable position. Support any painful areas of your body with folded towels or pillows underneath. Repeat the words “ReiKi on” or “LeiKi on” 3 times and wish for your own healing to take place. Relax the feet, legs and lower trunk. Now feel the head. shoulders, aims, hands and upper trunk letting go.
Visualise your solar plexus area, the Manipura Chakra, being generated with a bright, luminous yellow healing streaming down from the sun above. This energy is re-filling your own solar centre which is a ball of revolving energy radiation outwards.
Now, take your mind to the top of your head, feeling the scalp relax as the forehead smoothest out allow the relaxing energy to draw down your body to the solar plexus. Let the eyes sink back into the sockets and feel the eyelashes touching with the energy flowing downwards. Lips together, teeth apart and jaw hanging loose see the energy continue down through the neck. Allow the shoulders to drop down, relaxing, as the energy t1ows downwards through the chest and ribs into the solar plexus. From the top of the spine to the mid-hack and from the fingers up through the arms, feel energy moving down to the solar plexus Chakra.
Visualise and feel the Manipura – solar plexus Chakra radiating more brightly
Clearly see in your mind’s eye the toes and feet. Feel each foot falling outwards as you relax. Allow the energy in the feet to allow gently up to your solar plexus. Notice the calves loosening and thighs letting go. Draw the Ki energy upwards to the solar plexus area.
Feel the buttocks sinking down and the tummy releasing tension. Be aware of the energy moving upwards through those areas and the pelvis. From the hips up to the solar plexus. Through the spine to the mid-back.
Visualise and feel the Manipura – solar plexus Chakra radiating more brightly. Tune into your body and any part which is in pain or requires healing See and feel the solar plexus area full of ki energy which is a bright yellow colour.
Send the Manipura energy to relieve pain or to repair and heal any area of need. Visualise a stream of energy flowing tn that specific area and any dark spots filling with light from the solar plexus storehouse.
Keep pumping energy and light from the solar plexus to the weak parts of your body, until you feel it is sufficient
Now send the Ki energy from the Manipura Chakra back out to all parts of your body and be aware of a more balanced state.
Give thanks for your own healing which has taken place and thanks to the lei (God Love Energy) and Ki (Life Force Universal Energy).
Wriggle your fingers and toes. stretch your arms above your head and slowly move your body. Take deeper breaths in and out and come back up to surface.
You have connected your mind to the cell within and the universe without all of which has connected with the highest infinite light and love, described on planet earth in many ways.
Sources suggest that human life began on this planet 5.5 – 10.5 million years ago, though the first “humans” did not have physical bodies.
There is a suggestion that the Sphinx may date back about 5 million years.
Some of the sources include:
The first root race was Polarian, followed by Hyperboean – both these races where non-corporeal.
The third root race were the Lemurians, and had physical bodies like us.
These early races created bodies because they wanted to experience life in physical form, and some of these bodies may not have been human – the mythical centaurs (half man, half horse) may have been result of some of their experiments.
This is how Dr Joshua David Stone describes the seven root races (A Complete Ascension Manual, page 5):

Dr. Stone says that the first race appeared about 18.5 million years ago.
We are the Aryan race, and the Meruvian race is just starting to appear in North America and Australasia. The Paradisian race and the continent of Tara are yet to appear on the planet.
Dr. Doreal describes how the first beings inhabited the polar regions (Polarian and Hyperboean), which where warm and tropical at that time. Also, around 500,000 years ago, the earth was covered in a thick water mist and the beings had gill like extensions in the throat for breathing.
A serpent-like civilization inhabited the South polar region and was constantly at war with the other beings (the serpent sign is also used to indicate Sirians – see later).
There is other evidence of ancient inhabitation by intelligent life:
grooved metal spheres in rock which is 2.8 billion years old. Hundreds of these artificial objects have been found in South African mines.
shoe prints in Cambrian rocks, alongside fossils of marine arthropods. One imprint was of a sandal worn on the right foot, alongside fossils dating back 590 million years.
polished square cubes and a block of silver in a coal deposit dating 280 – 320 million years old.
carved bell-shaped metallic vessel basted out of rock 600 million years old.
a gold thread embedded in stone 320 – 360 million years old
These finds are quietly ignored by science because there is absolutely no explanation for them according to the current theory of human evolution.

Shamballa
I am using the term Shamballa to refer to civilizations in the Gobi desert region. There was certainly a great civilization there in the past, and indications are that it predated Lemuria and Atlantis. The term Shamballa has been used.
Dr. Doreal has an image which was unearthed from a temple in the Gobi desert, and he dates it back about 50,000 years.
It shows short stocky men, with long thin arms and legs, grass skirts, strange shells, and an image of something he calls the Kraken. The hair and facial features of the men are unlike any race known on the planet today.
The booklet explains that the man on the right is covering his pineal gland, showing the separation of men from the governing incorporeal beings – which is in keeping with the Rosicrucian explanations.
Gobi, Sahara, and the Australian deserts have all been populated in the past, and these regions where not deserts a few thousand years ago.

Lemuria (Mu)
MAP OF INDIA IN 30,000 B.C.Modified after a map in “Ancient World”, North Mahalingam. International Society for Investigation of Ancient Civilization. 101 Mount Road, Guindy, Madras, India 50032
Mu is another name for Lemuria.
The Lemurians were apparently a short, stocky, dark-skinned Matriachal race. There is good evidence for the land of Lemuria – much better than evidence for Atlantis.
It is placed in the Pacific Ocean, covering from India, across Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands to Hawaii in the north and Easter Island in the east. There are coral reefs in deep water off the coast of some of the Pacific Islands, suggesting that at one time the land was higher (or that the sea level was much lower).
Govindam’s “Babaja and the 18 Siddha Kriya Yoga Tradition” shows a map of India in 30,000 BC, joining India to Australia (it also shows Mt Meru as one of the mountain peaks – other sources put Mt Meru at the north pole, or as another name for the Great Pyramid in Egypt!).

Atlantis
Atlantis is one of the best known mythical continents, referred to by Plato and other legends.
Many people have theorized where it may have been – from the middle of the Atlantic, to Antarctica, Indonesia, Greenland, and a volcanic island near Greece which erupted a few thousand years before Plato’s time.
Some sources suggest that there is evidence of structures on the sea floor off the east coast of northern USA, but no hard evidence has been produced.
It may well be that there were Homo Sapiens Sapiens civilizations living in a number of different continents (archaeological evidence certainly supports this), and the people of this era could generically be called “Atlantians”.

(From A Dweller on Two Planets, Phylos the Thibetan)
Most sources agree that Atlantis existed in parallel with Lemuria but was colonized later.
It had developed technology somewhat in advance of the present day, and it was through misuse of the technology in some way which attributed to the fall of Atlantis and the entire continent descending into the sea.
Some sources say that the sea level rose as the ice age came to a close, others attribute it to a meteorite strike, a volcanic eruption, misuse of their technology – maybe it was a combination of factors.
Around 11,600 BC Atlantis disappear to the ocean floor somewhere. This coincides with the end of the ice age (known fact) and is supposed to be the mythical flood in the bible.
Other Perspectives
In his book “The Masters and The Path”, CW Leadbeater (of the Theosophical Society) describes (page 30) the residence of Kuthumi, Master Morya and Djwhal Khul in a ravine in Tibet.
Nearby, he describes the entrance to an occult museum which these masters protect on behalf of the Great White Brotherhood.
The museum houses images of every type of man which has existed on the planet,
“…from gigantic loose-jointed Lemurians to pigmy remains of even earlier and less human races.”
Also original manuscripts written by Lord Buddha, and the Book of Dzyan, and scripts from other worlds.
Inner Earth Societies
At the time of the flood, the intelligent beings on the planet either (a) went underground, or (b) build boats (collectively called “Noah” – not one person, but many individuals).
As the waters receded, many of the underground people emerged, but some stayed underground.
Those underground are said to still have large civilizations there – they are said to be quiet, peace-loving people, with technology, who live long lives. The Ascended Masters are said to belong to these races.
The humans who emerged from underground (Hopi legends tell how they came out of the ground) began the following races:
– Hopi (American Indians)
– Aborigines (Australia)
– Druids (England)
– Ainu (Japan)
– Snake people (of 5,000 – 6,000 BC, now extinct. Note that the snake/serpent is a sign of Sirian energy)
– Dravidians (India)
The skin colours of the races were originally:
– red – Atlantis, North America
– black – Sudan, West Africa
– brown – Andes, Lemuria
– yellow – Gobi desert
– white – Iran, Europe
Ice Ages on Earth
The great ages of the earth are labelled by archaeologists as follows:
– Pre-Cambrian – 3.9 billion to 540 million years ago
– Paleozoic – 540 million – 245 million years ago
– Mesozoic – 245 million – 66.4 million years ago
– Cenozoic – 66.4 million years ago to present
The Cenozoic era is divided into epochs:
a) Tertiary, composed of:
– Palaeocene – 66.4 – 57.8 million years ago
– Eocene – 57.8 – 36.6 millions years ago
– Oligocene – 33.6 – 23.7 million years ago
– Miocene – 23.7 – 5.3 million years ago
– Pliocene – 5.3 – 1.6 million years ago
b) Quaternary, composed of:
– Pleistocene – 1.6 million years ago to 10,000 years ago
– Holocene – 10,000 years ago until present
These time periods are arbitrarily assigned by humans, designed to coincide with major changes which took place on the planet.
The last ice age was during the Pleistocene period, and technically we are still in it, or just coming out of it. Currently about 11% of the land area of the world is covered by ice/glaciers, holding about three-quarters of all the fresh water of the planet.
If it were all to melt the sea level would rise 90 meters.
During the height of the ice age of the Pleistocene period, up to 30% of the land area was covered with ice, and the sea level was 35 meters lower about 13,000 years ago when a sudden warming occurred, and the ice abruptly receded.
Somewhere 10,000 – 12,000 years ago there certainly was a great flood of a lot of land area. Human evolution seems to have occurred during this ice age period when the majority of the world was cooler than in previous times (this could be a concern if global warming is a reality).
There was a small ice age during 1500 – 1850 – this is known as the “Little Ice Age”.

Now that the chakras have become New Age parlance, there are many interpretations of their meaning and function being branded about. While this popularity is making the chakras a household word, it is also spreading a lot of confusing, confliction, and often erroneous information. It is important to realize the chakras come from an ancient tradition, which many New Age teachers have barely explored. Here is a brief summary of the development of the chakras historically.
The Vedas are the oldest written tradition in India, (1,500 – 500 B.C.) recorded from oral tradition by upper caste Brahmins, who may have been descended from the Aryan stock which entered India from the north. The original meaning of the word chakra as “wheel” refers to the chariot wheels of the rulers, called cakravartins. (The correct spelling is cakra, though pronounced with a ch as in church.) The word was also a metaphor for the sun, which “traverses the world like the triumphant chariot of a cakravartinand denotes the eternal wheel of time called the kalacakra which represents celestial order and balance.
The birth of a cakravartin was said to herald a New Age, and they were described as preceded by a golden disk of light, much like the halo of Christ, only this spinning disk was seen in front of them (perhaps their powerful third chakras). It is also said that the god Vishnu descended to Earth, having in his four arms a cakra, a lotus flower, a club, and a conch shell. (This may have referred to a cakra as a discus-like weapon.)
There is some mention of the chakras as psychic centers of consciousness in the Yoga Upanishads (circa 600B.C.) and later in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (circa 200 B.C.). Most interpretations of Patanjali read a dualism between purusha (pure consciousness) and prakriti (the prima materia of the world), implying that the goal of yoga was to rise above nature for the realization of pure consciousness, free of the fluctuations of the mind and emotions. Yet the word yoga means union or yoke, so this realization of consciousness must ultimately reintegrate with nature for a higher synthesis.
The Chakra System and Kundalini yoga arose within the Tantric tradition, during the second half of the first millennium, common era. The word Tantra means tool (tra) for stretching (tan) and can be thought of as a loom in which the fabric of nature is woven from the union of opposites. In the West, Tantra is thought of primarily as a sexual tradition, yet sacred sexuality is only a small part of a broad weaving of philosophy which includes many practices of yoga, worship of deities, especially the Hindu goddesses, and integration of the many polaric forces in the universe.
The main text about Chakras that has come to us in the West, is a translation by the Englishman, Arthur Avalon, in his book The Serpent Power published in 1919. These texts: the Sat-Cakra-Nirupana, written by an Indian pundit in 1577, and the Padaka-Pancaka, written in the 10th century, contain descriptions of the centers and related practices. There is also another 10th century text, called the Gorakshashatakam, which gives instructions for meditating on the Chakras. These texts form the basis of our understanding of Chakra theory and Kundalini yoga today.
In these traditions, there are seven basic chakras, and they all exist within the subtle body, overlaying the physical body. Through modern physiology we can see that these seven Chakras correspond exactly to the seven main nerve ganglia which emanate from the spinal column. There are minor Chakras mentioned in the ancient texts, the Soma Chakra, located just above the third eye, and the Anandakanda lotus, which contains the Celestial Wishing Tree (Kalpataru) of the Heart Chakra, and other texts mention minor sub-levels to the major Chakras.
THE TREE OF LIFE
Leaves and branches
Inside the human body are millions and millions of tiny whirling vital life forces concentrated into centres called Chakras. Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit because these energies spin at these points rotating clockwise at a certain frequency. The Chakra is a subtle energy centre that normally cannot be perceived. The activity resembles a galaxy of planets, each spinning on its axis at points along the spinal cord. Each Chakra is designed to supervise and maintain the perfect operation of the bodily systems under its control. This purification is done by spinning in pure or positive vibrations and spinning out impure or negative ones.
An understanding of what each Chakra attracts and what can disturb it is important for our wellbeing. Each thought and action influence the sensitiveness and performance of these centres. Immediately after Self-Realization these Chakras are activated and initially begin the slow process of clearing the gross negativity accumulated by years of neglect or self-destructive activities like drugs, drinking, violence, anger, hatred, fanaticism, sexual deviation and so on. The benefits are almost immediate; small anxieties decrease and some joy and objectivity begins to manifest, and the blocked Chakras begin to rotate properly again.
The human being has seven major Chakras and these correspond to the autonomic nerve plexuses. Thus:
The Mooladhara Chakra corresponds to the pelvic plexus. The Swadhisthan Chakra corresponds to the aortic plexus. The Nabhi Chakra corresponds to the coeliac plexus. The Anahath Chakra corresponds to the cardiac plexus. The Vishuddhi Chakra corresponds to the cervical plexus. The Agnya Chakra corresponds to the optic chiasma. The Sahasrara Chakra expresses at the limbic area.
Furthermore, the petals of each Chakra correspond to the sub plexuses of the autonomic system. For example the classically described six petals of the Swadhisthan Chakra corresponds to the spermatic, left colic, sigmoid, superior haemorrhoidal, inferior mesenteric and hypogastric sub plexuses of the aortic plexus. The Chakra directs the particular type of energy controlling the autonomic nerve plexus and also adjacent endocrine and other organs.
By a series of subtle connections called ‘Nadis‘ in Yogic terminology each Chakra is connected to and brings its influence to bear on the whole body. For example the Nabhi Chakra controls the entire lymphatic system. In classical texts there are said to be three hundred and fifty millions of these Nadis. Very importantly, each Chakra is connected to a part of the hand as indicated in the subtle system diagram. Once the state of Yoga is achieved, the hands become sensitive to the state of the Chakras, and with practice this is easily interpreted.
The Chakras also influence and reflect our mental and emotional life. For example, the Swadhisthan Chakra controls a person’s creativity and those who work hard — artists and other creative people — it may become weak. The right Anahath Chakra (there are three parts of the Anahath Chakra: right, center and left) reflects the relationship of fatherhood, either with the person’s own father or his own children. Sufferers from anorexia nervosa, for example, invariably have a problem with this centre. There are more complex scenarios for serious problems where two or more Chakras are inter-related and affected, but we need not worry for eventually the Kundalini is able to set the entire subtle system working at optimum levels.
Thus the state of the Chakras at a subtle level reflects and influences a person’s physical, mental and emotional welfare. This is a dynamic relationship and so action at a subtle level on the Chakra can improve and (very importantly) integrate all these aspects. This is why, in a nutshell, people who achieve and consolidate their Yoga invariably find that their physical, emotional and other problems improve.
According to Hinduism Today the chakras system (portals of perception) is “not a topic you will ever learn in school, nor is it likely to be part of a soul-searching confabulation around the office coffee machine. Yet the chakras are of profound importance to those seriously exploring the nature of consciousness — their own spiritual quest, a friend’s uncommon perceptions or the expanding mind of an entire human race. To make up for the deficit, and to make this highly esoteric subject approachable for those not having the time to learn Sanskrit or trek to a lofty Himalayan cave, the Hinduism Today staff has assembled in the next four pages the simplified essentials of these mysterious centers within you.
The modern Hindu renaissance figure Swami Vivekananda was also a great yogi. One day at 1,000 Island Park, USA, outside a summer cottage, buttoned up in a quaint trench coat, he shared some of India’s deepest mysticism with a small group of Western ladies: “The sun and moon currents [the pingala and ida] bring energy to all parts of the body. While meditating at the Baranagore Math, I saw the nerves, ida and pingala. The surplus energy is stored at certain points, plexuses, along the spinal column commonly known as nerve centers. A third, the sushumna, is a very fine, very brilliant thread, a living passage through the spinal cord, through which we have to make the kundalini rise. The yogi is able not only to feel them but actually see them.”
Chakras, or “plexuses of consciousness,” form the major nerve ganglia of an extraordinary circuitry of nadis, energy channels that link together our animal body with our subtler bodies and their higher functions such as intelligence and love. It is because of these chakras and nadis that our five koshas,” sheaths”— function so smoothly and integrally as a one organism and awareness can move through all bodies, transiting from physical to emotional, to intuition to spiritual, instantaneously. In computer language, these chakras could be considered cosmic network hubs and the nadis as multi-gigabyte-per-second optical fibre wiring. Except, this wiring extends inside and outside the computer.
Our five “sheaths,” koshas -physical, vital/pranic, emotional/mental, intuitive/ cognitive and superconscious-are not disjointed, but beautifully and inextricably interlocked like layers of an onion. Each one is encased by the next subtler as they function together in daily consciousness. For example, when we feel the embarrassing hot flush of anger or riveting cool current of the intellect, we are aware in the astral body, not the physical body. When a wave of boundless love surges from within, we are accessing the intuitive and soul sheaths.
Hindu, Chinese Taoist and Tibetan Buddhist scriptures refer to an electrical human infrastructure of 72,000 sukshma prana nadis or “subtle channels of vital force.” The Shiva Samhita lists fourteen major currents. Of these, three are the super information highways-ida, pingala and sushumna — running interwoven around and within, respectively, the spinal cord. Where the nadis most intensely converge, yogis have pinpointed the chakras — 88,000 according to the most extensive yogic explorations.
The most important are the seven above the base of the spine-muladhara, svadishthana, manipura, anahata, vishuddha, ajna and sahasrara-and seven below that come into power in the Kali Yuga-atala, vitala, sutala, talatala, rasatala, mahatala and patala. As giant electrical transformers govern and regulate the flow and dispersion of power through a community, so do these whirlpools of light receive, filter, focus and funnel the vital life force, prana, that flows through us from the Source of Life.
Though of gross form, the body maintains a connection to each of the chakras through nerve ganglia along the spinal cord and in the cranium. But unlike these physical nerves, which are measured in millimeters, the subtle nerve and the chakras are measured by vibration, similar to AM, FM, and short-wave radio frequencies. Although regionalized to various parts of each sheath, or body, the chakras are more accurately regions of mind power-vast fields of collective, related, and interrelated thought realms, like vast cities, or energy fields, or like portals of consciousness… .
Knowledge of the chakras so exhaustively recorded by India’s yogis, permeates Hindu culture, its dance tradition and its sacred architecture. The Hindu temple is segmented to mirror the human body’s seven chakra design. Beyond India, this knowledge was inspirational to the flowering of tantric Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibet, Mani Padma “jewelled lotus,” is the name of the Manipura chakra enshrined in the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum. Buddha called his first sermon Dhammachakkappavattana Sutta. Chakka is the Pali word for chakra. “Turning the Wheel of Truth” can also be interpreted as spinning the higher chakras.
Chakra/nadi knowledge has surfaced in every society that nurtured a mystical tradition. “The chakra unmistakably appears in the religious art of the three Americas,” notes metaphysical scholar Manley P. Hall. The Mayan God Quetzalcoatl is often portrayed with a plumage around his head to represent the emanating rays of the sahasrara. In Polynesia, the Hawaiians constructed seven temples on the island of Kauai representing each of the chakras along a trail called Ku-a-moo,” spine of the dragon,” (sushumna nadi) from the ocean to a central volcanic peak. Mystical Sikh, Sufi and Christian sects each possess chakra-nadi teachings. The Chinese acupuncture system is completely based on this knowledge. By releasing obstructions in the flow of chi, or vital prana, that runs through the nadis, illness conditions are treated and averted.
Literature on chakras, our inner bodies and their make-up continues to proliferate in a Hindu context and in other cultural and ideological frameworks. The self-healing movement has logged onto chakra knowledge, and more and more mainstream allopathic medical practitioners are finding themselves referring to “that other nervous system.” As cognizance of the chakras grows, not only will people better comprehend their own mental/emotional orientation and be inspired by higher portals of perception, but also finally fathom how someone could kill another, or how a soul could forgive and still love a murderer.
Before exploring the intricacies of the chakras in our colour poster of the month, we offer this engaging observation by the German linguist and Indologist Max Muller [1823-1900]: “But if it seems strange to you that the old Indian philosophers should have known more about the soul than Greeks or medieval or modern philosophers, let us remember that however much the telescopes for observing the stars of heaven have been improved, the observatories of the soul have remained much the same. These days the focus is often on the more down-to-earth benefits of Yoga, including improved physical fitness, stress control, mental clarity, greater self-understanding and general well-being. Not many yoga practitioners are aware that there is a substantial difference between Yoga (Union with the Divine) and the many schools that teach watered down versions, especially in the West.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this bit of history. If you have followed my blogs, you will have guessed by now, Chakras are my passion. Since I was 12-15 years old, I have had a fascination with them, particularly as a child I could see them. I actually thought, everybody could see them …. like others can see Auras. I am still studying them. Always finding more ancient mind blowing information sometimes. Whenever I have clients for Energy Healing or Massage Therapies, I always access their Chakras. This helps me “diagnose” what is “wrong” with this person on my couch.

Most Christians understand the significance of this date: 25th December of any year.
Disclaimer: To begin with, before I receive rude remarks, I just want to point out from a Metaphysical aspect, Astrological facts and from a Religious perspective. The last thing I want to do here, is to denounce Christmas or Jesus, Yeshua Ben Joseph; for he did exist, but perhaps not in a time, the Bible wants us to believe.
Did you know? Pope Julius I declared 25th December as the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ around 350AD.
Most Christians today tend to agree with the idea that Jesus was not necessarily born on December 25th, AD1. Joseph Fitz Myer, a Professor of emeritus bible studies, stated that “…though the year of Jesus’ birth is not recorded with certainty, his birth did not occur in AD1…” as generally believed. In other statements for example, the Deaschen, believed to be written in 243AD, puts Jesus’s birthday on March 28th. Bishop Clement of Alexandria ca 215 AD, decided on November 18th. Fitz Myer himself chose September 11th, based on historical records.
But it was Pope Julius I who had declared, around 350 AD, the 25th December as Jesus’s birthday. He saw the date coincided with the winter solstice and the Jewish Hannukah, which were already times of celebration, so let the festivities be enhanced during this period.
Besides, cattle had been slaughtered and wine and beer had fermented during the winter, so everyone was ready to consume fresh produce in abundance.
Having converted many Pagans, the Universal Church then began to change certain pagan festivals, like the brutal Saturnalia, which was part of the Pagan Winter Solstice Festivals, into Christian “Holy Days” = Holidays. The Church also promised the converted Pagans that they could continue to celebrate their festivals, with the intentions of eventually replacing them with Christian versions. And even though there was nothing Christian about these “End-of Years”, weeklong festivals, the Church named the final day of festivities, which is 25th December, “Christ-Mass” day.
The first recorded celebration of Christmas took place in 336 AD under the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine, who had slowly converted to Christianity, with Pope Julius making it official around 350.
Paganism is a broad term for any religion not centred on the Bible – it includes Buddhism and Hinduism, both of which are exceedingly main religions. And since chimps have been observed displaying a basic form of ritual behaviour, paganism probably goes back well before anything we would clearly recognise as human.
What is modern-day Pagan religion? Pagan religion today grew from the new outlooks of the Renaissance period (1500) and the Reformation (the 1600s), through the revival of Druidry and folk custom in Europe, the witch-hunts of the 19th Century, and the explosion of interest in world religions in the sixties and seventies.
Paganism has grown in popularity greatly during the last hundred years. When did pagan religion start? Paganism (from classical Latin pāgānus “rural”, “rustic”, later “civilian”) is a term first used in the fourth century by early Christians for people in the Roman Empire who practiced polytheism or ethnic religions other than Judaism.
The word “paganism” has come to refer to various pre-Christian religions belonging to a number of ancient cultures—those from Greece, Rome, Egypt, Scandinavia, and so on. It has come to also represent, in some circles, the modern ideology of Wicca and the followers of revived versions of the old practices.
Is paganism older than Christianity? Yes. Pagan practices are much, much older than the comparatively recent upstart Christianity. The oldest pagan stone circle yet found was dated at approximately 2,030,000 years BCE. The pagans who built it were hominoids, not even human yet. Paganism was an important part of human evolution.
So, now that we grasp the idea that it was the Church, who decided that the Ancients are wrong, and they are right, we now look at the evidence, that Yeshua Ben Joseph, aka Jesus, was actually born on September 11th, 3 BC (Before Christ).
3 BC? How is this possible? This would mean our Calendars are wrong, well at least the years. So we are already looking at the end of 2025 and moving in to 2026. How is that for fast moving time since lockdowns?
Remember back then, they only had Stars in the sky for their compass. This was their way to orientate, their way to understand foreboding/prophecies, reading what the Universe was telling us. Today our Universe seems to be a Search Engine.
But thanks to this search engine, we can locate things from way back when (providing someone done the research….) but also with the tools of Apps we can “turn back the clock” in Astrology terms and see what the stars’ positions were, let’s say, on September 11, 3 BC.
Why this date? In the Book of Revelations 12:1-2 it reads the following: Revelation 12:1-2 1 And a great sign was seen in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, 2 and upon her head a crown of twelve stars, and she being with child screamed, travailing in birth, and agonised to be delivered.
Revelation 12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron sceptre.” And her child was snatched up to God, and to his throne.
On the 11th September 3 BC (Day 1 Month 7 – Tishri) God used the constellation Virgo to give us a sign in the heavens:
That evening, from Bethlehem, as the constellation of Virgo became visible just above the horizon towards the west, it appeared as if sun set had ‘cloaked’ Virgo’s body. The crescent moon was positioned right under her feet, whereas the day before, and after, the moon was not under her feet. Also, above Virgo’s head are nine stars that form the constellation of Leo, which represents the Lion of the tribe of Judah who is Jesus. That night however Mercury, Venus and Jupiter were also in Leo, making a total of twelve stars above Virgo’s head. Planets were considered as stars in ancient days, and the word planet literally means wondering star. The book of Revelation describes a great sign in the Heavens, with the sun, moon, and stars, and describes that the child being born was Jesus.
Furthermore, it is interesting to learn that: The prophet Isaiah also made a prophetic allusion to this sign over 700 years before.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive, and give birth to a son, and will call him Emmanuel.
The best time to have witnessed this momentary display was between 5:53 p.m. and 6:35 p.m. that evening, and Jesus was born at about 6:12 p.m. It’s possible to be confident that this was the time of Jesus’ birth because it was also at this precise time that the brightest star in Virgo, called Spica, which represents an ear of corn being held in Virgo’s left hand, appeared to ‘touch’ the horizon, or ‘alight to the earth.’ The name of this star in Hebrew is Tsemech which means ‘branch,’ and is the subject of prophecy by Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zechariah. Spica is actually Latin for ‘ear of corn’ or ‘a kernel of wheat’, and Jesus Himself alluded to this sign:
John 12:23-24 23 And Jesus responded to them, “The hour is come that the Son of Man should be magnified. 24 Truly, truly I say to you, unless a kernel of wheat alights to the earth and dies, it remains a single seed. But if it dies, it bears fruit.”
Note to self: there are only some 3,761 “years” difference in the calculations of years: Today is 28th day of the Month of December in the Gregorian calendar year 2022. Same date in the Hebrew calendar looks like this: 4th day of the month of Tevet in the year 5783.
It is also note worthy that the Hebrew calendar only has a 355 day cycle.
èso by all accounts, by whose calendar did we determine what happened when, when we read the Bible? Especially the Old Testament!?!
The Hebrew Calendar
The Hebrew Calendar, also called the Jewish Calendar, is a type of Lunisolar Calendar (The Lunisolar Calendar combines the Lunar and Solar Calendar to form another method of timekeeping.) based on the cycle of the earth around the sun (yearly) and the moon around the earth (monthly).
The Hebrew months vary between 29 and 30 days as follows:
Tishrei (30 days) (תשרי) – between September to October.
Jeshván (29 or 30 days) (חשוון, also called Marjeshván – מרחשוון) – October to November
Kislev (30 or 29 days) (כסלו) – November to December
Tevet (29 days) (טבת) – December to January
Shevat (30 days) (שבט) – January to February
Adar (29 days) (אדר) – February to March
Nisán (30 days) (ניסן) – March to April
Iyar (29 days) (אייר) – April to May
Siván (30 days) (סיוון) – May to June
Tamuz (29 days) (תמוז) – June to July
Av (30 days) (אב) – July to August
Elul (29 days) (אלול) – August to September
Hmmm, it seems being sick this Festive Season has given me way too much time on my hands, with all that thinking I have been doing. I sincerely hope, I haven’t offended anyone. I have not intended to have a go at Belief systems, nor disputing the existence of Christ, the Lord’s earthly self. I merely had been pondering on the idea, why we celebrate Jesus’ birthday on 25th December, when it also clear that December was not his birth month. No worries, I’m back to work soon enough and then, will be distracted again for a while 😉.
Thank you for taking the time reading this. I wish you a magical, prosperous, and healthy 2023 or 2026 or which ever Year you live in 😊.

Quick translation of this old Michelangelo Caetani drawing.
Starting from the bottom all in Italian:
Gerusalemma = Jerusalem
Inferno = Hell
Selva Oscura = Wild Forrest
Emisperio Della Terra = hemisphere of the land
punto, al quale si traggon b’ con parte i pesi = point, to which which b’ with the weights are drawn
Emisoerio Dell’ Acqua = hemisphere of the water
Purgatorio = Purgatory
Paradiso Terrestre = Paradise on Earth
Cielo Della Luna = Sky of the moon.
Cielo Di Mercurio = Sky of Mercury.
Cielo Di Venere = Sky of Venus.
Cielo del Sole = Sky of the Sun.
Cielo Di Marte = Sky of Mars.
Cielo Di Give = Sky of Jupiter.
Cielo Di Saturno = Sky of Saturn.
Cielo Stellato Zodiaco = Sky of the Constellations. Zodiac.
Cielo Cristallino. Primo Mobile = Crystal clear sky. First mobile.
Figura Universale Della Devina Commedia – Universal Figure of the Divine Comedy
So that is the picture translated. Now, before anyone goes on about Flat earth vs Spheric earth, just pause to remember, not even Michelangelo was able to paint in 3D on a flat sheet of paper.
Today is 27th December 2022. The whole family is down with the flu. Yes flu, not covid. Some things have been around before 2020, and the flu is one of them. So, I had nothing better to be doing, but to ponder on the spirituality and metaphysical part of “all things to do with Christmas”, which includes Jerusalem. So I went down a “rabbit-hole”.
I googled “Jerusalem” and I got:
The name means “city of peace.” Jerusalem is often called Zion; Mount Zion is the hill on which the fortress of the city was built.…
During the Canaanite period (14th century BCE), Jerusalem was named as Urusalim on ancient Egyptian tablets, probably meaning “City of Shalem” …..
Why is it called Jerusalem? Hebrew Bible and Jewish sources Jerusalem – Wikipedia According to a Midrash, the name is a combination of two names united by God, Yireh (“the abiding place”, the name given by Abraham to the place where he planned to sacrifice his son) and Shalem (“Place of Peace“, the name given by high priest Shem).
In the Old Testament, Shalem is the name of a city ruled by Melchizedek. Some experts believe that the biblical city of Shalem is today’s Jerusalem (Jeru-shalem), the “City of Peace.”
The Place of Peace … Paradise?
Hmmm, City of Shalem … ??? City of Shambhala? Naahhhh. Not possible, or is it? So I continued to do research. I google: “City of Shalem” and I get:
Salem is an ancient Middle Eastern town mentioned in the Bible. Salem is referenced in the … Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan…
Wait, SALEM??? Okay. So what can I find with Salem and connection to Jerusalem or Shamballa?
So I looked up Shamballa, Shambala, Shambhala… Shambhala (pronounced sham-bah-lah, sometimes spelled “Shambala” and “Shamballa”) is a mythical Buddhist kingdom that is said to exist somewhere between the Himalaya Mountains and the Gobi Desert. In Shambhala, all of the citizens have achieved enlightenment, so it is the embodiment of Tibetan Buddhist perfection. That is the reason for one of its other names: The Pure Land. It is also known as Olmolungring, Shangri-La, Paradise, and Eden.
At first it may appear somewhat confusing to associate Shambhala with Christianity. Shambhala is usually associated with Eastern thought and religion, such as Tibetan Buddhism. Public knowledge of Shambhala in Western society really began with the Theosophical Society, founded in 1875.
According to theosophical literature, Shambhala was originally a small colony of Atlantean adepts in eastern Asia who had survived the cataclysmic submergence of the ancient continent. This sanctuary-colony was established by a high initiate known in the East as “Manu.” These primordial survivors gathered on a sacred island in a prehistoric sea now occupied by the Gobi Desert: “An island, where now the Gobi Desert lies, was inhabited by the last remnant of the race that preceded ours; a handful of Adepts―the “Sons of God,” now referred to as Brahman Pitris … This sea existed until the last great glacial period, when a local cataclysm, which swept the waters south and west, formed the present great desolate desert …” (“Theosophy,” Vol. 42, No. 3, January, 1954). ….Under the direction and influence of Christ-Jesus, the lotus-centre of Shambhala that once invisibly hovered ‘beyond the Himalayas,’ is now etherically situated above the geographical city of Jerusalem. This new sacred heart-centre of Shambhala is known esoterically as the “New Jerusalem.”https://www.heartofshambhala.com/?page_id=41
“The growth of the New Jerusalem has been ongoing since the Mystery of Golgotha. When the human being has entirely fulfilled his time on earth he will have reached the stage in which he not only weaves the heavenly substance into his own body through his senses, but in which he extends the heavenly substance through what we call spiritual knowledge and art into what will be the external city. The Old Jerusalem was built from below upwards; the New Jerusalem will be built in all reality from above downwards”. ~From The Book of Revelation, by Rudolf Steiner, Lecture 9, Dornach, 13 September 1924 https://reverseritual.com/shamballathe-new-jerusalem/
Are Salem and Jerusalem the same?
The name refers to the royal city of Melchizedek and is traditionally identified with Jerusalem. It is also mentioned in Hebrews 7. Salem (Bible) – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_(Bible)
That the name Salem refers to Jerusalem is evidenced by Psalm 76:2 which uses “Salem” as a parallel for “Zion”, the citadel of Jerusalem. The same identification is made by Josephus and the Aramaic translations of the Bible. Names of Jerusalem – Wikipedia
Salem is old Jerusalem
Shambala/Shamballa/Shambhala in New Jerusalem
I cannot find any direct connection between Salem and Shamballa, only hints. But as both are linked to Jerusalem in some shape or form, I conclude that one is the physical past and the other still an etherical future. I left the links here for you to click on and read yourself.
I also believe that there is a far greater meaning behind all of this. Microcosm and Macrocosm and Above so Below and on a spiritual level, all that ends, is recycled, and encouraged to regrow with more wisdom and new knowledge gained. We are the living organisms on earth, which is a living organism in our solar system, which is a living organism in our Milky Way Galaxy, which is a living organism in the universe, which is a living organism in the … ? But staying on earth: a seed is sown. First it grows roots, to be firmly anchored into the rich soil Gaia has to offer. Now the stem grows followed by branches, flowers, and fruit. The fruit carries the seeds for the next generation of tree/plant to be seeded. So in my view, Salem is the mother tree and Shamballa, it’s off-spring. Gaia is transitioning and us with her.
Paradise lives in the Seed with all of it’s Divine Glory, ready to “show herself off” to the world. And many still have not “got it”. In order to be like that Tree of Life, we must raise our lower frequencies. To lift out of the dark (roots) into the light (tree crown). When we have reach the Light, there will be another Darkness lurking below us. Once aware, start raising it to the Light. We know that trees are interconnected with one another, something us humans are still to master. Globally. If we did, the current crises we hear about, read about, witness and taking in their refugees…… would not exist. The last time humanity came close to reaching this Oneness, was 9-11! Think about that for a moment.
Ah well….. such is Life.
Did you know that the oldest Language is circa. 4700 years old and is said to be Egyptian.
Did you know that the Bible thinks, Earth is only 6000 years old?
To each of the seven heavens corresponds one of the seven classical planets known in antiquity. Ancient observers noticed that these heavenly objects (the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) moved at different paces in the sky both from each other and from the fixed stars beyond them.
Noticed how our Moon falls under a category of being a planet? I believe this happened when Pluto was removed. 😉
Seven Heavens. Seven heavenly objects. Seven main chakras.
Much to think about and I shall leave this at that.
Good Night, God bless. May 2023 bring you all you wish for.

A metaphysical conversation between friends on Messenger chat: Oh, and by the way: MDP = Mind Dowsing Protocol.
Hi Catherine and Merry Christmas to you, Paul, and your puppy dogs!! I heard from Derek and wanted to share with you what he’s doing.
JD: From Derek: “I learned from Raymon Grace that he had successfully used some of the body’s approximately 95% of unused DNA (Doctors term junk DNA) to rebuild his knee and that his knee was now functioning better than it was 30 years ago. Well, I used my dowsing to ask if I could use this unused DNA in my Body to rebuild any of my Body components that needed rebuilding and got a YES. So I am now using 12 MDPs (long term) to rebuild Knees, Hips, Spinal Column, Shoulders, Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Kidneys, and Tooth 12 and am feeling 40% improvements which is great. Another truly great gift I have been blessed with is that I now use Master Jesus daily for all Intents that I normally would have used an MDP for and there is no limit for Master Jesus also every Intent Master Jesus does for me runs simultaneously and I am so truly grateful for this gift.”
I asked him how he is using Master Jesus in place of the MDP.
From Derek: “… just did this now as I had a slight jelly legs sensation when walking. “My intent is that Master Jesus will please banish the spirit of all diseases causing jelly legs sensation when walking, when that’s done deactivate the life force of the diseases, when that’s done scramble the frequency of the diseases, when that’s done scramble the frequency of any side effects of the diseases including jelly legs sensation when walking, all energy work to be carried out in all of my subtle bodies, my physical body, and in all levels of my existence when that’s done transmute all energies into the most appropriate beneficial frequencies for me not to suffer with jelly legs sensation when walking ever again and thank you, heavenly father, Master Jesus, and the blood of Jesus that I don’t suffer with this ever again this I command in your name Amen, Amen, Amen.”
I thought this was interesting. I also was reminded from Raymon to clear all irritants, allergens, and to talk to the mast cells. He, Raymon, says the Mast Cells are the communicators of the body and carry trauma and illness energy to the surface to be removed. He says to start by asking them if they are involved, then check to see if they are carrying energy that needs to be cleared. Raymon also says to learn to have this dialogue with the body and it will tell you what it is trying to resolve. He also says to dowse on what was happening in the couple of years before the symptoms started, that is often what needs to be released/transmuted. I get pneumonia every year, I think my symptoms for pneumonia would have started when I was 3 or 4, that’s a long time ago. LOL!
Me: May I ask a stupid question? MDP and the protocols….. to me, in effect, he is doing the same just replacing the word MDP for Master Jesus. The fact that Jesus is not a son of God, but an Energy form, a Soul, that mastered 3D density, nobody seems to talk about. But that’s neither here nor there. To me, Derek replaced MDP for Master Jesus whose energy is equal to cosmic abundance. So yeah, makes sense to ask upon him. Like the Master Archangels. I call upon him Monday to Friday. I ask him to protect our native, innate, messenger RNA from artificial intelligence, interfering mRNA, and so protecting our RNA and DNA. Reinforcing our body shields and body armour to protect and shield us from harmful 5G Millimeter microwaves and harmful sonic and subsonic frequencies. I ask him to awaken those dormant DNA strands that serve us best now. But I have never asked Jesus to heal me. Interesting
JD: Not stupid at all as I was thinking the same thing. I call on and ask the AAs for everything especially getting through to some of the animals. AA Michael & Metatron, morning, and night for protecting my property, etc. Derek just got out of the hospital and asked me to check and see if there was anything else to work on that he had missed. I wondered why he hadn’t asked Master Jesus. … I thought energy equal to cosmic abundance was AA Ariel.
I use AA Michael and Metatron for most of what you’re saying. I use AA Fhleyai and Haniel for help with the animals, AA Raphael for help with healing.
Now, “The fact that Jesus is not a son of God, but an Energy form, a Soul, that mastered 3D density nobody seems to talk about” I must be way behind, didn’t know this.
Me: All major arcana in the AA kingdom are all equal energy to cosmos.
JD: Got it, was just reading that.
Me: Well… Jesus… What does the bible tell us about Jesus?
JD: That he’s Marie’s boy child … Simply put that he is the son of God, but can do anything.
Me: Ok. Who or what is God?
JD: The creator of all things
Me: The creator of ALL things….. yes. But just on this planet?
JD: I’m stuck in the Catholic rut today … No everywhere …
Me: … nothing to do with being religious …
JD: I know. you’re asking my brain to work.
Me: That’s ok too lol … So God is everything and everywhere!
JD: correct!
Me: … from solid, to liquid, to gas, to crystalline, to dark matter, to light matter, he is shadow, he is light, he is energy on every level of thought and existence. Yes?
JD: Agree
Me: So who is Jesus?
JD: AAAHH … he is energy and thought on every existence … That makes sense!
Me: Like you and I are
JD: Yes
Me: Macro- and Microcosm
JD: … yes, wow!
Me: So, using a tool called pendulum, to work with tangible energy, is one thing. Using your MIND, is quite another. This, I feel, by definition, should be called Quantum Energy.
JD: Agree.
Me: And on the way to work I had this very topic of conversation with myself, and I had forgotten I had until now.
JD: Synchronicity. I’m here to keep you on your toes ….
Me: … and me your brain working hahaha
Me: So with this “knew” understanding, re-read Derek’s note to you
JD: okay
Me: To ask Jesus to reactivate your dormant DNA….. ask yourself to do this. You are Jesus. You are God. The Universe is within you … But … If your Chakras are banjaxed, you are snookered!
JD: what does banjaxed mean?
JD: The Hara chakra needs to be cleared on all levels of existence or it isn’t cleared, then does this apply to all chakras. It seems like it would.
Me: Only if your chakras are open. Banjaxed – Irish slang for “not working” … So I came to the conclusion this morning … let me see if I can recall my order and thinking …
Me: I asked myself: What is quantum healing?
Me: My reply was: The Quantumness in a Being, is the ability to sense, feel, hone in, and act upon …
JD: Quantum healing would be on all levels of existence current, this life past, past life and generations, all lifetimes and continuums.
Me: You are thinking tooooooooo big. Think small. Think Microcosm. JD: Okay … I like small
Me: What is definition of having a Gut Feeling? JD: intuition! Me: Yes! Very good. JD: thank you
Me: So how do we intuitively feel? How do we intuitively see? JD: it hits us and we just know it Me: … it just hits us…….. sometimes like a ton of bricks lol … Ok. Me: Gut feeling , your gut belongs to which chakra? JD: sacral Me: Parts of it, yes, but majority is in the 3rd Dantien, your solar plexus JD: that’s right
Me: If your SP is malfunctioning, how do you perceive gut feeling/intuition?
JD: I don’t know
Me: Ok. How do you know if you like or dislike a person you meet for the 1st time? JD: you just know … your gut is screaming it
Me: Emotion of Liking or dislike originates from where? JD: the hara chakra
Me: When does your heart skip a beat? Think Emotions. Emotion is heart chakra driven.
Me: To vocalise your “findings” you need to have a functional throat chakra.
JD: Emotion is heart chakra driven … yes you are right.
Me: Let’s start back at the beginning. Gut feelings are the SP. Emotions are the Heart Chakra. Vocalising is the Throat. If those 3 are all open and receiving and sending info like a CB radio, it still requires to be connected to something somehow, yes?
JD: yes
Me: In order to SEE, our 3rd needs to be open. In order to be grounded, our root chakra needs to be firmly connected to the crystalline core of Gaia via the Earth Chakra. In order to be connected to Divinity, our Crown chakra needs to be connected to the Universe via the Soul Star and Stella Gateway Chakras
JD: yes
Me: Now, we are like a battery, just got slotted into a remote control. We are now receiving and transmitting and sending energy in both directions. As long as ALL chakras are open, energy can pass through unhindered. Energy also exchanges in both directions.
JD: agree
Me: So, the Universe is abundant. So is Gaia. So who is Jesus and who is God? Where does the cosmos reside? What is universe and what is Quantum? I am not sure we have the words yet to define the last question, but it is us.
JD: That’s what I was going to say, it is us all in us.
Me: All within us. We just have not used the full capacity of our brains. Less than 10% we use
JD: agree
Me: So what exactly is it that Derek is doing when he uses MDP or Master Jesus?
JD: He’s using himself without realizing it!
Me: BINGO!
JD: Wow
Me: Anyways, the power is within us all. We can activate ourselves!
Ask yourself this question: Let’s say your car’s petrol tank can hold 100L of Petrol/Gas or Diesel. Would you only fill it 10%? How often would you have to go to refil that 10%? If your Lithium Battery would only charge 10%, would you set off to drive that car?

Today I wish to discuss with you, what in my opinion, the Star of Bethlehem was and why it lingered for so long over the stable. Plus the true meaning behind those Gifts.
My brain functions at it’s best, it seems, early in the morning, behind the steering-wheel of my car, driving to work. So that’s Mondays to Fridays. Weekends I switch off…. Giggle.
So yesterday morning I gave Christmas some thought. I thought about them Three Wise Men, arriving from three directions, only to arrive in the fourth.
The Star of Bethlehem. Was it really a comet? Or could it have been something entirely different?
For years I have been referring to Jesus as Yeshua Ben Joseph. I do remember once, many, many, many years ago, having read this name and all I remembered that it was Jesus. The rest I have really forgotten. But is Yeshua Ben Joseph, Jesus? And if so, why Ben Joseph? Wasn’t Mary’s husband called Josef?
Let us start by looking at everything from a Metaphysical angle.
Metaphysical
Metaphysical meaning of man Man–An idea in Divine Mind; the epitome of being. The apex of God’s creation, created in His image and likeness.
Metaphysical meaning of fourth dimension Fourth dimension–A transcendent realm that Jesus called the “kingdom of the heavens.” Here one can discern the trend of spiritual forces and see with the spiritual vision of the Christ Mind.
Metaphysical meaning of frankincense Frankincense–“A fragrant gum resin” (Webster). Metaphysically, it represents in man the transmutation of the material consciousness into the spiritual.
Metaphysical meaning of myrrh Myrrh–An aromatic gum resin; a slightly pungent perfume, used for incense. Metaphysically myrrh represents the eternity of Spirit, an emblem of the Resurrection, an ointment of love.
Metaphysical meaning of gold Gold–Metaphysically, gold represents spiritual gifts, the riches of Spirit. The gold that the Wise Men brought to the Christ child was a consciousness of the omnipresent richness of substance.
What were those three gifts?
Frankincense = Metaphysical meaning of frankincense. Frankincense–“A fragrant gum resin” (Webster). Metaphysically, it represents in man the transmutation of the material consciousness into the spiritual. Frankincense very much supports the body and mind because it works as an energy medicine. It affects our own energy field, and because that energy field is the link between our body and mind, it tends to stimulate the body and mind to move toward frankincense may also have an implied connection with the Temple worship of the Old Covenant.
Myrrh = Much like frankincense, myrrh is not an herb but a resin. The scent is said to boost the spirits and the soul. Both frankincense and myrrh have healing properties that can help people emotionally, vibrationally, and spiritually.
Gold = The gold that the Wise Men brought to the Christ child was a consciousness of the omnipresent richness of substance. The energy within gold is really the radiant, and the energy within gold is of extremely high vibratory rate, it can only act upon the finer and more subtle expressions of life, through absorption. Gold brings connection to the universe and its knowledge, natural energies, and wisdom. It unlocks and activates the third eye and crown chakras. Gold opens the crown chakra, and you can attract divine consciousness. The Divine Energy is activated and emitted from the gold ring, aka the Halo depicted in many pictures of Jesus.
The Star of Bethlehem
A Comet (they say was in actual fact Hayley’s comet) that happened to be in the sky at the time of the birth of Jesus, is said to have shown the Three Wise Men they path to finding Mary and Joseph, just after Jesus was born. Science/Astrology will tell you that there was an appearance of Haley’s Comet in 12 BC. But that date is too early to align with other astrological events surrounding the birth of Christ.

Science/Astrology will tell you that there was an appearance of Haley’s Comet in 12 BC. But that date is too early to align with other astrological events surrounding the birth of Christ.
The Star of Bethlehem could have also been a Merkabah. In Many parts of Europe we see Advent Stars being erected to be shining bright from the 1st Advent. I know in Germany; this Advent Star sits on top of the Christmas Tree.
What Is Merkabah?
The Merkabah (meaning light-spirit-body) is the energy sphere in which everything exists. It is the vehicle that carries you to the dimensions of unity and love that exist beyond the mind. The upward and downward interlocked tetrahedrons represent the duality of existence—body and spirit—united in the harmony of a singular form.
Merkabah is a 5,000 year old word that describes how one can use one’s Conscious Awareness to fill one’s Spiritual Energy Fields of Consciousness with the energies of Unconditional Love and transcend dimensional levels of Consciousness.
Merkabah Meaning The word Merkabah comes from a Hebrew word which means “chariot”, & when broken down phonetically means “light, body, spirit” from an ancient Egyptian translation. If you consider both meanings, it essentially refers to a way of connecting with light, body, and spirit through the means of this ‘vehicle’ or symbol.
In other words, the Merkabah is an energy matrix surrounding the aura that strengthens the alignment between the mind, body, and Soul. It offers protection to the user and aligns you more fully with your higher self.
Who is Yeshua Ben Joseph?
In the Irish language some still use “óg “ in their names. In Irish it means “young” or “the young one”.
Mac — means “son of” — anglicized as Mc or left as Mac.
Ó (Oh-fada)— means “grandson of” — anglicized as O’.
Example:
Seán (John) Óg = John Jnr. Furthermore: Surnames with ‘Mac or Mc’ in them meant ‘son of’, for example, Seán Mac Suibhne (Seán (of) Sweeney) and James, Seamus, Seán Ó Cléirigh (now O’Clery / Clery) is James, grandson of Clery.
Hope I haven’t confused you too much.
The Hebrew word Ben (בן), meaning “son” or “boy”, forms part of many surnames in Hebrew.
Yeshua is a name that means ‘Salvation’ in Hebrew. The noun means the save deliverer.
The name Joseph/Josef means Increaser, Repeater or Doubler and in Hebrew, means “God will add.
Yeshua Ben Joseph is in fact the soul essence of our Cosmic father himself.
Conclusion:
The Gifts from the Three Wise Men ensured he never lost the connection to his origin or original self, as opposed to “higher self”, to which we now refer to.
Co-incidences do not exist. Everything is in the plan of the great Divine Planer – call it Universe, Cosmos, or God. God is Soul Source. God is the Origin of All.
The comet, the star, those three wise men saw that night, I believe, was in actual fact the birth of Jesus, but not how it is written in the scripts. I believe those three men, who came from three different directions, witnessed a “Repeater”, a Soul representative of God himself, make his way, in a Merkabah, to be birthed at that very moment in time.(Co-incidences do not exist.) This fragment of Soul was not born without the knowledge where he originated from (unlike us StarSeeds). The Saviour Son of God (Yeshua Ben Joseph) was placed here at that right time, to deliver God’s messages to Mankind. But I guess, Mankind wasn’t ready then, and today with Social Media influencing our lives, we struggle to hear his words and teachings still.
I believe in Jesus. I believe in Source. Jesus was a Spiritual Person, not religious. He just happened to be born to Jewish parents. And somehow is now believed to be Christian.
Disclaimer: This is not meant to offend anyone. But certain facts cannot be ignored. If you are offended, please do not leave any horrible comments. Just move on. Then is article does not resonate with you, but I wonder: why did you continue reading this?
I am a Spiritualist. I practice Spirituality.
Merry Christmas 2022 and may 2023 be a healthy and prosperous years for us all.
Reiki Vs Taoism and Ho’oponopono – by Rev Dr C.W. Dunne D.D., RGN, WMA, RGMT, RMP, RHP, Healing Minister
Reiki was discovered in the 1920’s. Taoism is ca 2500 to 3000+ yrs old.
The Dao Monks studied the Human, done autopsies, studied the Universe and kind of invented/discovered Astrology and their findings and discoveries had been passed on to their students. Over the course of time, the connection was made, as they discovered that the Universe is the Macrocosm and we are the Microcosm. The whole of the Universe is within us, as we are the Universe. Cosmic dust “rained” onto our planet and life began in form of bacteria and those evolved as we know. We eat, breath and drink cosmic dust and when we die, we become cosmic dust once again. Dao Monks had also established the connection to our Higher Self through meditation. Our Higher Self is permanently connected to the Universe.
Ho’oponopono: the real “age” of Ho’oponopono is not very clear, but the Polynesian Islanders have been practicing for a very, very long time. But what exactly is Ho’oponopono? In a Nutshell? It is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.
Traditional Practices: “Ho’oponopono” is defined in the Hawaiian Dictionary as “mental cleansing: family conferences in which relationships were set right through prayer, discussion, confession, repentance, and mutual restitution and forgiveness.”
Literally, hoʻo is a particle used to make an actualizing verb from the following noun, as would “to” before a noun in English. Here, it creates a verb from the noun pono, which is defined as:
Ponopono is defined as “to put to rights; to put in order or shape, correct, revise, adjust, amend, regulate, arrange, rectify, tidy up, make orderly or neat”.
In other words: There are three states of Mind: Emptiness – Zero (Divinity), Inspiration and Memory.
My personal conclusion is the following:
Dr Usui Sensei, as per history, studied many books. He had stumbled across references of ancient Chinese Text (about the Universe, Astrology, Anatomy, Health and Healing, including Meridians, Energy Centres (Chakras), Meditations in order to connect with the Universe as we are the Universe) from before a certain Emperor ordered their destruction; during the reign of this Emperor, these scrolls were hidden, brought out of China to Tibet and Thailand. Usui had travelled to China a lot it is said he had come across scrolls and tried to find more, but these were “lost goods”, many are still not found.
So with the knowledge he had up until that point, and he was a Monk now, he would practice frequent meditation.
Now I surmise the following:
I think the Enlightenment came with an INSPIRATIONAL thought…..and Reiki was born but not the Reiki as we know it today. Ho’oponopono: …once the mind is empty we wait for that INSPIRATIONAL thought to come through.
I can never prove this; it is and will always be a Theory but, like a jigsaw, one can visualise what had happened and put the pieces together…
Reiki Symbols: Usui only towards the end may have had only two.
Hayashi is the one who made more symbols and hand placements.
Takata, is the one who turned it into a business. But the bottom line remains still this:
This is why I believe that there is a connection between Reiki, Ho’oponopono and Daoism (Taoism)
Reiki being the youngest of them, the result of Ho and Dao perhaps… who knows?
Mikao Usui received and INSPIRATIONAL thought in other words. He was never attuned or initiated by any one person.

Thank you for coming back to read more about my Reiki experience.
In my last Blog, I spoke about the history of our three Reiki Masters. I hope you enjoyed it.
We have learnt, that only after Madam Takata’s death, did Reiki develop into nearly a secret society, with secret language, with high membership fees – as high as $10.000 US. Despite such fees, people are joining the Reiki Wave, today even more so than ever before.
We have also learnt that Dr Usui sensei, had meditated and the Inspiration came to him.
And, after this occurred, from all those books he had studied, he started to build on those building blocks and “invented” Reiki. Dr Usui sensei, built the foundation of the Reiki we know today, or is it the same Reiki?
Ever since Reiki has been made available by Distant Learning, it has exploded. Everybody wants to become a Reiki Practitioner. So what is bad about this?
On the surface? Probably nothing. Except the World of Reiki are in two halves. Two halves, with two uneven weight distribution. Most Indemnity Insurance Companies will not insure those, taught by e-Learning, yet you can do a Law Degree and this is accepted.
Person to Person initiation Vs Distant learning with Distant Attunements.
Let us start by looking at the Distant Learning version first.
You can google the search engines for online Reiki courses and you will find plenty, including Facebook based schools. Apart from the price structure and offering MP3’s and video links, you read your way through the course. Right? Well…..in most cases, yes.
Peeps “frog-march” their way from Level one to Masters within a month. Just so that can be called Master. But do these fast track Masters have what it takes to be a sensei??
The majority of these courses work in this fashion.
And then there are online courses, that make you work and study and keep journals and give feedback and sit an exam – in other words: making to gain real experience. Can the Teacher/Master monitor this? NO. The Master relies on their student’s honesty.
Now how about those initiations/attunements? – I hear you ask. Good point.
How did Dr M. Usui Sensei get attuned or initiated to Reiki?
……by an INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT……. Okay, let’s just leave this statement sitting there.
Or can we? Inspirational thought…………. So this is distant attunement, is it?
How INSPIRATIONAL thought works, I shall explain in Part three.
So anyways, this inspirational thought led to somewhere. It led Dr Usui sensei to open up a school with beds and start practicing his inspiration and what he had read in books prior to the inspiration. He, in actual fact, combined healing modalities, like a little bit of good old fashioned cosmic healing. (More about this is a later blog).
A building with beds turned into a school of Reiki Teachings. Some of those who received healing, now were taught this skill (Person to Person schooling) – in part payment = a form of Energy Exchange with a donation as fee. This way Dr Usui sensei was passing on his knowledge. But does “passing on”, teaching, demonstrating….. Does this mean INITIATION?
If this was the case, then, when we all went to school, we all got initiated, but to what?????
As far as I am concerned, if Dr Mikao Usui sensei, a married man with 2 children and later a Monk, can receive a Divine Inspirational Thought (Ho’oponopono) and feel the energy move through his body, like a serpent (Kundalini) and draw this energy from the Universe (Daoism), and is now so charged, that when he places his hands on your head (causing the first “domino effect towards self-healing”) and four months later (after daily hands on treatment) you are healed, then DISTANT ATTUNEMENT must work!

Usui Sensei 1865 – 1926
Mikao Usui was the originator of what we today call Reiki. He was born on August 15th, 1865 in the village of ‘Taniai-mura’ in the Yamagata district of Gifu prefecture Kyoto.
Mikao Usui probably came from a wealthy family as at that time only children from wealthy families could get a good education.
As a child, he studied in a Tendai Buddhist monastery school entering at an early age. He was also a student of different martial arts. His memorial states that he was a talented hard-working student, he liked to read and his knowledge of medicine, psychology, fortune telling and theology of religions around the world, including the Kyoten (Buddhist Bible) was vast. He married and his wife’s name was Sadako, they had a son (born 1907) and daughter.
Usui sensei studied and traveled to western countries and China several times, this was encouraged during the Meiji Era and later, to learn and study western ways.
During his life, Miako Usui held many different professions such as public servant, office worker, industrialist, reporter, politician’s secretary, missionary, supervisor of convicts. He also worked as a private secretary to a politician Shimpei Goto, who was Secretary of the Railroad, Postmaster General and Secretary of the Interior and State.
At some point in his life, he became a Tendai Buddhist Monk/Priest (what we in the west call a lay priest). On several occasions, he took a form of meditation lasting 21 days. On his memorial, it says that at one time this took place on Mount Kurama (Horse Saddle Mountain). This is where he is supposed to have been given the inspiration for his system of healing – Reiki. It is very likely that he incorporated ideas and knowledge about healing from another system, both spiritual and physical, like Chinese Medicine, other Eastern healing systems like Chi Gong, the Japanese equivalent Kiko, acupuncture and others.
Mikao Usui found that the healing techniques contained within his spiritual system worked well on various ailments. In April 1922 he opened his first school/clinic in Harajuku Tokyo. Usui had a small manual which is now translated into English and published by Western Reiki Master living in Japan, Frank Arjava Petter, under the title “The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui” (1)
Mikao Usui’s skills as a healer and teacher must have been very good and his fame spread very quickly throughout Japan. This was a time of great change in Japan, opening up to the West and changes both in government and religion. His teachings became popular among older people who saw them as a return to old ideals and spiritual practices.
His school/clinic was formed not just for the spiritual teachings but it was also a way for people to obtain healing. As people in general at this time in Japan’s history were very poor, healing sessions were very cheap or free. According to Japanese history articles, healing and other similar practices at that time would be given for a minimal cost or more likely for free.
Reiki students seem to have worked with the teacher as a sort of payment (a small monetary fee might also have been involved).
The Usui teachings included teaching people how to heal themselves (a very central point still in Reiki of today). Healing would be given to them, then they were taught how to heal themselves.
In 1923 on the 1st of September an earthquake shook Tokyo and Yokohama, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale. The epicenter was 50 miles from Tokyo. Over 140,000 deaths were reported. The majority were killed in the fires started by the earthquake. It was the greatest natural disaster in Japanese history. Mikao Usui and his students started to give healing in the area and the demand and need for Reiki was enormous and as a result of his work, he became even more famous.
In 1925 Usui had become so busy that he had to open a new larger school outside Tokyo in Nakano. As he traveled widely his senior students would continue with his work when he was away from his school/clinic.
Dr Mikao Usui passed away on March 9th, 1926 at the age of 62. He is buried in Saihoji Temple in Suginami-Ku, Tokyo. Later his students created and erected a large memorial stone next to his grave describing his life and work. Much of the new information about Usui Sensei comes from the translation of this memorial.
Three levels of teachings
Usui Sensei’s teachings were divided into 6 levels, Shoden (4 levels), Okuden (2 levels) and Shinpi-den. The beginning level student (Shoden) had to work hard at increasing their own spirituality before being able to move on to the Okuden (inner teachings) level. Not many students reached the next level of Shinpiden – Mystery/secret teachings.
It is reported that he had taught his system of healing to well over 2000 persons, and what we in the West call Reiki Masters (no such title existed in Japan at the time) to 15 – 17 persons.
Chujiro Hayashi 1878 – 1940
Dr. Hayashi has played 2 important parts in Western Reiki. Number one is that he is probably the originator of the hand position system used here in the West. Number two is that he initiated Mrs. Takata to Reiki Master who brought Reiki to the West.
An ex-naval Officer in the Japanese Navy and a Naval Doctor who graduated from Navy School in December 1902.
He started his Reiki training with Usui Sensei in 1925, 47 years of age. It is believed he was one of the last Reiki Masters trained by Usui.
Following his first training, he left the Usui school and started a small clinic in Tokyo named “Hayashi Reiki Kenkyu-kai”, which had 8 beds and 16 healers. Practitioners worked in pairs of two to a bed giving treatments to patients.
Hayashi originally had seven to eight hand positions that covered the upper body only. These positions are based on the Eastern traditional healing methods (such as Chinese Medicine) that the “body” is the head and torso, the limbs are considered “external”. When treating these positions, which cover major energy center’s (acupuncture points), the energy will flow not only through the body but also to the arms and legs. (using meridians). Therefore it is only necessary to treat the head and torso in order to treat the entire body-mind.
Usui Sensei used head positions only, then treated any problem area on the body. He also gave additional positions for treating specific conditions.
It seems that Hayashi may have adopted further hand positions and that these may have been the base for the hand positions used in the western world. These hand positions that cover the whole body gives a better overall flow of energy around and through the body.
Dr. Hayashi compiled his own 40 page manual on how to use the hand positions for certain ailments. This manual may have been given to his students. During his work with Reiki, he initiated about 17 Reiki Masters including Mrs. Takata.
Chujiro Hayashi ritually ended his life by committing Seppuku’ on May 10th, 1940.
Hawayo Takata 1900 – 1980
Reiki comes to the West
Hawayo Takata was born at dawn on December 24th, 1900, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Her parents were Japanese immigrants and her father worked in the sugarcane fields. She eventually married the bookkeeper of the plantation where she was employed. In October of 1930, Saichi Takata died at the age of thirty-four leaving Mrs. Takata to raise their two daughters.
In order to provide for her family, she had to work very hard with little rest. After five years she developed severe abdominal pain, a lung condition and had a nervous breakdown.
Soon after this, one of her sisters died and she traveled to Japan where her parents had moved to deliver the news. She also felt she could find help for her poor health in Japan. Here she came in contact with Dr. Hayashi’s clinic and she began receiving Reiki treatment.
Mrs. Takata received daily treatments twice a day and got progressively better. In four months, she was completely healed. Impressed by the results, she wanted to learn Reiki. In the Spring of 1936, Mrs. Takata received First Degree Reiki (Shoden). She worked with Dr. Hayashi for one year and then received Second Degree Reiki (Okuden).
Mrs. Takata returned to Hawaii in 1937. She was soon followed by Dr. Hayashi who came to help Mrs. Takata establish Reiki in Hawaii. In the Winter of 1938, Dr. Hayashi initiated Hawayo Takata as a Reiki Master. She was the thirteenth and last Reiki Master Dr. Hayashi initiated.
Between 1970 and her transition on December 11th, 1980, Mrs. Takata initiated twenty-two, Reiki Masters.
Mrs. Takata practiced and taught Reiki for more than 40 years. She was a powerful healer, an engaged teacher, and a very successful businesswoman.
Unlike her Masters, Dr’s Usui and Hayashi, she did not give her students handouts or manuals, and the students were not permitted to record anything in writing. She had expected them all to remember her words in their memories. Any symbols drawn on paper were all destroyed at the end of class.
Reiki energy is very flexible and creative, treating each unique situation with a unique response and working freely with all other forms of healing. The Reiki energy itself provides a wonderful model for the practice of Reiki. This began to be acknowledged gradually after Takata Sensei passed on.
The original twenty-two teachers have taught others. In the decade since Mrs. Takata experienced transition, Reiki has spread rapidly in the West and East and is now practiced throughout all parts of the world. In the mid-1980s, Iris Ishikura, one of Takata’s Masters, trained two Reiki Masters at a more reasonable fee and made them promise they would also charge a reasonable fee. The Masters trained by Ishikura at this lower fee began training many other Masters in turn. Out of this group, many were open to change and began allowing the wisdom of the Reiki energy to guide them in the way they should practice and teach Reiki. Because of this, restrictive rules began to fall away. Reiki classes became more open and more supportive of the learning process. Workbooks were created, notes and tape recordings were allowed, reasonable fees were charged, and many began studying with more than one teacher. All this generated greater respect for Reiki. It also increased people’s understanding of Reiki and improved their healing skills. With lower fees, the practice of Reiki began to grow quickly and spread all over the world.
The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui
By Frank Arjava Petter
This book shows you the original hand positions of Dr. Usui’s Reiki Handbook. It has been illustrated with over 100 photos to make it easier to understand. It also contains the hand positions for a great variety of health complaints listed in detail, making it a valuable reference work for anyone who practices Reiki.
This book should be a part of any serious Reiki practitioner’s library.
