Daily Words of the Buddha for October 25, 2023

Idha tappati, pecca tappati,
pāpakārī ubhayattha tappati.
“Pāpaṃ me katan”ti tappati,
bhiyyo tappati, duggatiṃ gato.

Idha nandati, pecca nandati,
katapuñño ubhayattha nandati.
“Puññaṃ me katan”ti nandati,
bhiyyo nandati, suggatiṃ gato.

Agony now, agony hereafter,
the wrong-doer suffers agony in both worlds.
Agonized now by the knowledge that one has done wrong,
one suffers more agony, gone to a state of woe.
Rejoicing now, rejoicing hereafter,
the doer of wholesome actions rejoices in both worlds.
Rejoicing now in the knowledge that one has acted rightly,
one rejoices more, gone to a state of bliss.

About the Human Heart … 

A human heart, showing the fractal arteries and veins that supply blood to the heart muscles.

The heart is much more than just a muscle that pumps blood and its intelligence continues to fascinate us.

Below is some information about the heart that you may not know:

• Did you know that the heart has the ability to generate the largest electromagnetic fields in the body, and that these fields change according to emotions, or that the human heart has a magnetic field that can be measured up to several meters away from the human body?

• Did you know that when we are in a positive/harmonic emotional state, the heart is able to generate a beautifully organized and highly coherent toroidal field that not only affects our own physiology, but also affects others around us?

• Did you know that positive emotions create physiological benefits in your body and that you can stimulate the immune system by evoking positive emotions?

• Did you know that negative emotions can create chaos in the nervous system and that positive emotions do quite the opposite?

• Did you know that the heart has a neuron system with short and long term memory and that the signals sent to the brain can affect our emotional experiences?

• Did you know that in fetal development, the heart forms and begins to beat before the brain develops?

• Did you know that the mother’s brain waves can be synchronized with the baby’s heartbeat?

• Did you know that the heart sends more information to the brain than the other way around?

• Did you know that the heart’s electric field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than brain waves and that the heart’s magnetic field is about 100 times stronger than that produced by the brain?

Helen Demetriou | Lifting the Veil of the Sacred Feminine

The ego for many will be the obstacle that blinds them from the truth and blocks them from seeing and believing in the Goddess who has always dwelled within. The holy Sophia, the Shekinah, the Shakti, the Holy Spirit is what we have been trained not to see and so we must observe with clarity and without ego in order to see her. When we discover her existence inside of us, we shall also resurrect the Christ consciousness into our reality.

HOW SINGING AFFECTS OUR HEALTH

* Singing informs the body the “right” vibrations that increase our vitality;
* During singing, special chemicals are produced in the human brain that help us feel peace and joy;
* Singing improves blood circulation in the throat area, which has a beneficial effect on the vocal cords, plums and numerous lymph nodes in the throat and therefore significantly increases local immunity (in other words, we less often get colds);
* Improving the blood supply while singing leads to an increase in brain activity: it begins to work more intensively, memory improves, any information is easier to perceive;
* Singing is very beneficial for lung diseases, as it works as a breathing gymnastics, which promotes chest development, proper breathing, and significantly reduces the number of acute lung conditions;
* With regular singing, the levels of immunoglobulin and hydrocortizone, which are signs of good immunity, increase in the body;
* Methods have been developed that treat hiccups through singing and help improve diction;
*Singing is even used in the fight against obesity: sometimes it is available to overweight people when they feel hungry instead of eating, sing two or three songs.
Attention, girls! Singing improves blood supply to the head area and generally rejuvenates the body, skin condition improves.
This is why experts recommend singing at least 5 minutes a day, equating singing to physical exercise.

Helen Demetriou | Venus, the Mother of Jerusalem, The Light Bringer

“According to Eusebius, Hadrian built a temple dedicated to the Roman goddess Venus to bury the cave in which Jesus had been buried. The Orthodox Church celebrates the Dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on September 26 (Gregorian), the same date as the ancient Roman festival of Venus.”
Melchizedek was the king of Shalem also known as Shalim. Shalim is a god in the Canaanite religion pantheon, mentioned in inscriptions found in Ugarit (Ras Shamra) in Syria. William F. Albright identified Shalim as the god of dusk, and Shahar as Goddess and sometimes known as god of the dawn. Shalim is also identified as the deity representing Venus or the “Evening Star”, and Shahar, the “Morning Star”.His name derives from the triconsonantal Semitic root S-L-M. Many scholars believe that the name of Shalim is preserved in the name of the city Jerusalem and both Shalim and Shahar were the patrons of Shalim.
This tells us that Melchizedek was the high priest of the most high God Shalim which is Venus yet when we look further back we see that Shalim and Shahar were indeed deities of Venus because they had been birthed from Venus herself whom we know to be Inanna, Ishtar, Aphrodite, Astarte, Asherah, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary etc So in truth, Jerusalem is the city of Venus.
We call the planet Venus the morning star when it appears in the east at sunrise, and the evening star when it appears in the west at sunset, although the ancients called it Hesperus in the evening and Phosphorus, or Lucifer, in the morning. Because of the distances of the respective orbits of Venus and the Earth from the Sun, Venus is never visible more than three hours before sunrise nor three hours after sunset, and it may also surprise you that Venus can be seen in broad daylight, provided you know where, and when, to look after reference to an almanac.
-Masonic Library
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
-Matthew 2:2
The study of Phoenician gods revealed three goddesses to be different aspects of the planet Venus. A similar trilogy exists in the Norse pantheon, but with different names. It is believed that the Phoenicians, or Canaanites carried their beliefs with them when working on the Temple for Solomon and may have affected its ultimate design.
It is said that the first known name for the city of Jerusalem was Urushalim, “Uru’ founded by “Shalem”, the name of the Canaanite god of Venus in its evening setting, but Solomon’s Temple was facing in the opposite direction, towards Venus rising in its role as morning star. We can be certain that King Solomon’s Temple was built by Canaanites who were known to worship Venus, also we can understand that Solomon had no tradition of his own to give him the knowledge of how to build a temple that was properly constructed to interface with the heavens. However it is perplexing that these Venus worshipping Phoenicians were allowed to build the house of God.
Biblical scholars have noted from passages such as I Kings 11.5 that Venus was worshipped by Solomon in her special form as the deity of the Phoenicians and he fell out of favour with God. The official worship of Venus as Astarte, the Queen of Heaven continued in the Kingdom of Judah until circa 600 BCE.
Moses created Princes of the Tabernacle and the initiations took place when the Pentagram, or blazing star was to be seen in the east. A blazing star that is referred to as a Pentagram can only be a reference to Venus which had long been associated with the pentagram because of the planet’s apparent movement around the sun when observed from Earth. It is suggested that when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in year 70 of the Christian Era, a number of the Princes of the Tabernacle managed to escape to locations across Europe. It was from these families that the men came, who went on to found the Knights Templar.
-Masonic Library
Venus is represented by the pentagram, hexagram, heptagram and octagram. For a time, a pentagram was the official seal of the city of Jerusalem and it was also the symbol of the Pythagoreans.
In later times, it was used by medieval Christians to symbolize the five wounds of Christ, and figured in the heavily symbolic Arthurian romances. In medieval times, the pentagram represented the proportions of the human body.
In alchemical texts, the four elements (in Latin)- flatus, ignus, aqua, terra, superseded by light, or divine energy- illustrated the process of creation, and the biblical motto Fiat Lux, or, “let there be light.” Venus and the pentagram is the symbol of the Light Bringer, the Morning Star who is also known as Lucifer in Latin and Phosphorus in Greek.
This Venus, this Morning Star, is the same star the Jesus called himself and it is through Venus that all of the elements of Jerusalem, David and Melchizedek are connected. The star that rose out of the House of Jacob is both David and Jesus and that star is Venus and that scepter was passed on as the divine seed from the bloodlines of Jacob, through to David, through to Joseph and then to Jesus himself.
In many icons you will see Mother Mary associated with the star which symbolizes Venus. The church fathers were well aware that Mary manifested from her previous known names of Venus which grew out from ancient mesopotamia. Venus has always been the Queen of Heaven, Earth and the underworld and she has always been known as the mother of the sun, who is the dying and resurrected fertility god which is again, another connection with the original name of Bethlehem.
She is Venus herself who produces the messenger of light who comes to Earth to bring the Christ Logos which is the divine Word. As the Mother of the Mysteries, it is through her son that the world becomes enlightened should they choose to follow his Way which leads straight back to her, which is the soul.

Abhittharetha kalyāṇe;

Drunvalo Melchizedek | THE TEACHER NUMBERS

A long time ago, the angels taught me that seeing a triple number in Reality has a meaning related to what you are thinking or your environment. It has to do with music and the fact that all notes of an octave are separated from each other by intervals of eleven cycles per second. Therefore, the intervals between the notes are 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88 and 99 cycles per second, or multiple of those numbers, which presents us a harmonic tuning or moment in time, given that all Reality was created through the harmonics of music.

Therefore, when triple or repeated numbers appear more than once in any way, they physically represent a mathematical moment in time that contains the harmonicas of that number value. In human words, 444 could be described as the Mystery School, there where one learns about Reality. Alice Bailey was the first person to write about this meaning of numbers. Briefly, here are the meanings of triple numbers.

111= Energy Flow: any energetic flow, such as electricity, money, water, sexual energy, etc..

222 = New Cycle: the beginning of a new cycle whose nature depends on the next triple number you see.

333 = Decision: You must make a decision, which will lead you to 666, which means you must repeat it in some other way, or 999, which means culmination and you have learned the lesson.

444 = The Mystery School: What is happening in life is a lesson to learn about Reality. In this school it’s about learning, reading books or studying a subject, and not doing.

555 = Unity Consciousness: It is the number of someone who has achieved Unity Consciousness. He’s mastered every level of Mystery School. It’s the highest number. It is the number of Christ.

666 = Earth Consciousness: In the Bible it’s the number of the Beast, so it can represent pure evil, but it’s also the number of humanity and life. Carbon is its base, and this element has six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons. When we see this number, it usually means that we must be alert to the physical events that present themselves at that time, and that we must be careful.

777 = Mystery School: This is the part of school where you’re not just reading books about life, but putting them into practice.

888 = Culmination of a specific lesson in Mystery School.

999 = Culmination of a specific cycle of events.

000 = Lack of Value.

Nā Mele | Story Behind the Song | Aloha ‘Oe

Mele Fong aka Ukulele Mele tells the story behind the traditional Hawaiian song Aloha ‘Oe. The song tells of two lovers bidding farewell in a fond embrace and is the most famous composition by Hawai’i’s last monarch Queen Lili’uokalani.

Native Hawaiian Mele Fong from Maui is an experienced educator and professional entertainer with over 50 years experience playing the ‘ukulele – Hawaii’s official instrument. Are UKE having fun yet? Watch. Listen. Play. The Ukulele Mele Way!

“O Kou Aloha No” (The Queen’s Prayer) – Royal Hawaiian Hymn [Lyrics + Translation]

During March of 1895, US business owners in Hawaii illegally overthrew the monarchy and arrested Queen Liliuokalani. During her imprisonment, Queen Liliuokalani wrote this prayer on March 22, 1895, and soon set it to this melody. In this hymn, the queen tells of her great love for God, a love great enough to ask for the forgiveness of those who imprisoned her. In Hawaii today, this hymn is sung expressively with great reverence and devotion.
