WHAT PART OF COMPLETE DO WE NOT UNDERSTAND?
Pastor Hal Bekemeyer
Printer Friendly Version
"(COL 2:6-10) "AS YE HAVE THEREFORE RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS THE LORD, SO WALK YE IN HIM: {7} ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN HIM, AND STABLISHED IN THE FAITH, AS YE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT, ABOUNDING THEREIN WITH THANKSGIVING. {8} BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER THE TRADITION OF MEN, AFTER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, AND NOT AFTER CHRIST. {9} FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY. {10} AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER:"
When a person trusts Christ as Savior many wonderful things happen. Too many believers see conversion as a change in destination only when, perhaps, they should discover that they now have a destiny (an inner realizable purpose in life). And when we read Paul's epistles we discover that with our destiny comes a plethora of attributes and directions to realize God's purpose in our life.
"(1 COR 12:12-13) "FOR AS THE BODY IS ONE, AND HATH MANY MEMBERS, AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF THAT ONE BODY, BEING MANY, ARE ONE BODY: SO ALSO IS CHRIST. {13} FOR BY ONE SPIRIT ARE WE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY, WHETHER WE BE JEWS OR GENTILES, WHETHER WE BE BOND OR FREE; AND HAVE BEEN ALL MADE TO DRINK INTO ONE SPIRIT."
Ephesians one tells us that the Holy Spirit is our "seal" and our "earnest". However, He also performs and essential operation of God; He baptizes us into the Body of Christ. This accomplishes our eternal identification with our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Our identity and life are now intrinsically linked with Him. This perspective should change our view of a life agenda. It's not about what we think is right, it's about Christ's life and purpose in us.
" (GAL 2:20-21) "I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: NEVERTHELESS I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME. {21} I DO NOT FRUSTRATE THE GRACE OF GOD: FOR IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COME BY THE LAW, THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN."
The truth is, many of us "frustrate" God's purpose in our life because we refuse the power of His grace, preferring to draw on our own energy and ideology. There is nothing ambiguous about the statement "...ye are complete in Him." There is nothing we can add philosophically or ideologically to God's plan and provision. There is nothing that our creativity, or energy, can bring to the equation. It's all about, in, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. But, man continually attempts to add to this completeness.
"(COL 2:8-13) "BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER THE TRADITION OF MEN, AFTER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, AND NOT AFTER CHRIST. {9} FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY. {10} AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER: {11} IN WHOM ALSO YE ARE CIRCUMCISED WITH THE CIRCUMCISION MADE WITHOUT HANDS, IN PUTTING OFF THE BODY OF THE SINS OF THE FLESH BY THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST: {12} BURIED WITH HIM IN BAPTISM, WHEREIN ALSO YE ARE RISEN WITH HIM THROUGH THE FAITH OF THE OPERATION OF GOD, WHO HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD. {13} AND YOU, BEING DEAD IN YOUR SINS AND THE UNCIRCUMCISION OF YOUR FLESH, HATH HE QUICKENED TOGETHER WITH HIM, HAVING FORGIVEN YOU ALL TRESPASSES;"
Man brings his own ideas and agenda and inserts it into the place of Christ's life in us, replacing that which is ideal with frustration. Man brings religion (manmade attempts to please God) into the equation, replacing the life of Christ with rites, ceremonies, regulations and false authority. For instance; Paul in Ephesians 4:5 says there is "one baptism". I Corinthians 12 and Colossians 2 make it abundantly clear that this "one baptism" is an "operation of God." Why then does man insist on a second, unnecessary Hebrew water rite? Yes, I know all about the so-called symbolism and alleged outward testimony ascribed to this practice. But, our testimony for, and identification with the Lord Jesus Christ is not expressed with a ceremony - it is His very life manifested in us.
God's design is that we be identified completely with His Son, the Lord Jesus, Christ. His design is that we also find our sufficiency in the same identity. We are complete because we are "in Christ". It's God's purpose that we be complete.
To that end, He has given us a completed written authority in the Scriptures to direct and equip us. "(2 TIM 3:16-17) "ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS: {17} THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE PERFECT, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS." Yet, man isn't satisfied with this; He even wants to change, challenge, or correct these written instructions.
"(EPH 2:8-10) "FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: {9} NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. {10} FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM."
Man's view is that God's work is incomplete and that it must be improved, corrected, or added to. Man's arrogance is an affront to God and defies the simplicity that is found in the statement "...ye are complete in Him." Just what part of complete is it that we do not understand?

Due to lack of awareness about the black magic spells, a person may not be able to cure it. This would be quite a pathetic situation. But if a person is aware about the whole idea, yet he chooses to ignore it, then that would be a sort of enmity with oneself. Having an illusion that we cannot be harmed by anyone would be like living in the fool's paradise. If it could affect even our dear Prophet Mohammad (SAW), then we would definitely be much more vulnerable to magic.
The side effects of not getting an appropriate treatment for magic which is a spiritual disease of sorts are:
Sleepless nights hamper the focus and attentiveness of a person. He finds it difficult to carry on with his duties in a normal way. Not getting enough sleep may lead to insanity and weakness.
Severe headache is a symptom of black magic. So if a timely cure is not sought, continuous headache destroys his normal life as he is unable to concentrate.
Black magic raises the body temperature which makes the victim feel that he has a fever. So he keeps consulting doctors and starts worrying that he may be suffering from some chronic ailment.
Another result is that he is loses his job or his business meets with a huge loss. So he gets financially drained. If he keeps ignoring all warnings by his well wishers that he may be an unlucky victim of envy and enmity of some relative etc and could be under a spell, his situation would keep on deteriorating.
As they say, a stitch in time saves nine. Likewise, not healing oneself of this disease which destroys not only the health but also the wealth of the victim, leads to complications. One after another, all the property and assets of the victim, whether his own house, car, business etc have to be sold. The expenditures go on mounting, so do the loss, if not treated on time.
The victim becomes frail because of health problems. The medicines he takes do not cure him because the problem is beyond the influence of a few pills. He ends up wasting a lot of money but in vain.
There are constant hurdles in his life due to which a lot of his matters lie unresolved. The victim keeps living with a false hope that his problems will get solved.
Hence, it would be wiser to be aware regarding this issue and if one thinks that symptoms of black magic are showing up, and then he or she should take the requisite steps to nip the problem in its bud.

The Jesus Story
-
The Lord and the Lady (and the Fool, of course) looked at the Men and Women, and were not pleased.
"Look at that! They saw Your Sacrifice, and went and elaborated it into some kind of magic." The Lady spoke disgustedly. "Cutting out human hearts.
Sacrificial Kings. Ritual burnings. Ritual torture. Blood sacrifices.
Cannibalism. Blood, killing and more blood! What -do- they think they're doing?"
"I agree it's pretty grim," said the Sacred King, "But it does work, though in a very limited way. So...what can we do about it?"
"I know what We can do, but it will take all of Us," said the Fool, unsmiling.
"Listen up..."
As he began to explain, the faces of all Three grew grimmer and grimmer, and sad beyond words.
The Fool incarnated as a Child within a Woman, who was the Mother and the Maiden. He was born in poverty, and laid in a straw bed. He grew up in a small village in a backwater nation on the edges of a great Empire. Some, a very few, knew Him and honored Him, seeing Him as the Child, truly the Child of Promise, but most simply went on with their lives, unknowing. When He was of age, He turned, and from Child became Transformer, and He began to teach.
As Transformer, He went out on the dusty roads of the small, conquered nation, and taught the Way of Love. Love for -all,- not just some. He taught of the Brotherhood of Man, and of the Fatherhood of the Lord.
He taught of the Way of Salvation: to love. To love the Deity, and to love your neighbor, whoever he might be.
He brought a message of hope to the poor, and a warning to the oppressor.
Around Him, He assembled a small band of men and women, and taught them His Mystery. But one was given a role to play, and the role was Betrayer.
A man asked, "Teacher, what shall we do when those that hate us strike us?"
And He answered, "Turn the other cheek, and let them strike you again. Give them love in return for hate. If you must take up the sword, then do it in great reluctance, and only after you have stepped aside time and time again. Remember that I bring you not peace, but a sword, for this Path will separate you from your families and friends, and your enemies will persecute you in their ignorance."
"And forgive your enemies, and those who wrong you, that you may put away your anger and live in love."
Another asked, "Sensei, what of the poor?"
And He answered, "The poor you shall always have with you, but give them the tools to lift themselves out of their poverty. Clothe and feed them, but give them the means of independence also."
"But what of the rich, then?" said a wealthy man.
"Give what you have to the poor, give them of clothing, and food, and, more importantly, of learning, for if you feed a man, then you have only given him one meal, but if you teach him to feed himself, then he may eat for a lifetime, and move from the cycle of poverty and ignorance," He said. "Lay not treasures up for yourself on earth, save that you give of that treasure to those in need, but rather lay up treasure in heaven, for it would be easier for a camel to pass thru a needle's eye than for an avaricious man to leave his earthly treasure for heaven."
A Doctor asked Him, "Healer, what of the sick?"
"Verily, let them be healed by the knowledge of man, and by prayer," He answered, "For whatsoever you ask in prayer, if you have faith even as small as the tiniest grain of mustard seed, what you need will be granted you. But be wary of what you ask for, for you will get what you need, and not always what you want."
A woman asked, "Rabbi, what of those that follow other Teachers?"
And He answered, smiling, "There are many rooms in your Father's house, and many fields in Heaven. And I come again, and yet again, and as there are many languages of mankind, so are there many Names for Deity. Rejoice in it, and be glad of the diversity of Deity, and do not hate those that call the Deity by other names, but rather weigh them by their deeds."
And one asked of Him, "How should we pray?"
And He answered, saying, "Pray in your own fashion, as you will, for all prayer is good. But if you wish, pray thusly:"
"Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our errors, as we forgive the errors of others. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."
"And if you feel this prayer should be given to the Mother, then let it be so."
And a Priest shouted, angrily, "Shall God be then female?"
And He answered, "The Deity is what It will be, not what you make It into. You see the Deity in your own image; if you are vengeful, then your God is vengeful.
If you are full of hate, then your God is hateful. But if you have love, then you shall know the Deity's love. Listen, and be wise."
A child asked, "Father, how shall we know what is right, and what is wrong?"
And He replied, "Weigh it by it's fruits. If it gives a bad fruit, then it is wrong, but if the fruit is good, then eat of it and be happy."
"But Brother, what of a fruit that seems to be good, yet will poison us slowly?"
asked another.
And He answered, "If a man die of it, then it is an evil fruit. Look you to the past, see the mistakes therein, and learn therefrom. And beware those who would lead you into error thru their own need of power over you; leave them to the trap of their own making."
One of the Priests came to Him, a man enmeshed in legalism, and, thinking to trap Him said, "Teacher, What is the Law?"
And He looked at the Priest and said, "Love God. Love thy neighbor. All else is commentary, and the Law of Man. Study the holy
all the Children of the Deity, and the Deities' Love for you is greater than you can imagine."
A policeman asked of Him, "But what of the Laws of Man? If these Laws of Man conflict with the Law of the Deity, what shall we do then, Padre?"
And Transformer answered, "Listen and hear. Obey the Laws of Man, for these Laws have power over your body. But if there is a man-made law that is not good, then strive to change it, in peace. But if you cannot change it, then obey it. And, if you must disobey it to change it, then accept the judgments of Man's Law in good grace until it is changed. But put not your trust in Rulers, and Kings and Princes, nor in those that would lead you, be they Priest, Priestess, or any other Office and Position, but weigh their words carefully, that their words match their deeds, and no hypocrisy enters into them, for as your leaders you have given them power over you. And always remember that Man's Law is made for humanity, and not humanity for Man's Law."
And with the policeman was a woman, who had violated the Law of Man, and had been taken for her crime. She said, "But what of me, Lord? I am to be stoned by the crowd."
And He picked up a stone from the ground, looked at her, and said, simply, "Let he who is without mistakes cast the first stone at you." And He dropped His stone from His hand.
And there was a silence from the crowd, and those with stones in their hands dropped them guiltily to the ground.
And He said to her, "Learn from your error, go in peace, and make error no more."
And he said to those that had dropped their stones, and who were burdened by their guilt, "Be not guilty, for guilt is but a warning from your conscience. Be you delivered from your hell. Learn from your error, put it from you, and err no more."
"And equally, if the tree that gives a bad fruit can be taught to give a good fruit, then do so. But if it persist in giving bad fruits, then leave it."
And He walked to a nearby hill, and turned to the people, and spoke thusly:
"Blessed be those who are poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"Blessed be those that mourn, for they shall be comforted."
"Blessed be the meek, for they shall live to inherit the earth, long after the strong, and the proud, and the warlike have killed each other in their pride."
"Blessed be those that hunger and thirst after the Truth, for they shall know it."
"Blessed be the merciful, for they shall have mercy shown unto them."
"Blessed be the pure in heart, for they shall see the Deity all the days of their lives and after."
"Blessed be those that make peace among men, for they shall be called the Children of the Deity."
"Blessed be those that are persecuted for the sake of the Truth, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Blessed be you, when men shall persecute you, and perjure themselves against you, and lie about you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for your reward is great indeed."
"Let your Light so shine before all humanity, that they may know the Truth of you, and learn to live in love."
And he placed His hand upon the head of a dog, and said, "Your Brothers and Sisters in fur are your Brothers and Sisters in truth. They are in your care, and in your hands. Treat them with kindness, and that kindness will be returned to you a thousandfold. To those that give themselves to be eaten by you offer thanks, and be grateful to them for your sustenance."
"Treat your Mother the earth likewise with kindness, and all the growing things thereon will sing your praises to the Highest, and you shall eat and drink of Her fruits, and live in joy and gladness all the days of your lives. Little children, love one another!"
In truth, there was much more that He taught, and much of it is written for our study and learning, and the study of His teachings is a good and worthy thing.
But the following of His teachings is a better thing, for He was who He said He was, and that is also a Great Mystery.
And the Betrayer spoke to Him, and said, "Renounce this Path. It only leads to destruction. Give over to me, and I will give you rulership of all the kingdoms of Earth."
And He gazed upon the Betrayer, and spoke, and said, "Get thee hence, foolish one, for I have no need of earthly treasure, nor earthly power, for all such is false, and an illusion."
And on the night that He was betrayed, during a Festival that celebrated the conquered people's deliverance from tyranny, (and to choose such a time and place is also a Great Mystery and a great lesson) He took of the Sacred King, the Bread of Life, blessed and broke it, and gave it to His followers, and said,
"This is My body. Do this in remembrance of Me."
And then he took wine, fruit of the Mother, and blessed it, and gave it to them also, and said, "This is My blood. Do this in remembrance of Me."
And Transformer was betrayed by the Betrayer, betrayed to the legalists and the soldiers of the occupying army, accused of sedition and taken by the Law of Man, and sentenced to die.
And they fastened Him to an instrument of torture, to kill Him like a common criminal, with cruel jokes.
And He was hung from a Tree.
And, watching, was the Mother, and the Maiden, and the Crone, and They all three mourned Him.
He turned, and was the Sacred King, and simultaneously the Fool (and that is a Great Mystery indeed) and, as He died, he said, "It is finished." And His Blood ran out upon the Earth, and worked a great magic.
His body was buried in a tomb of rock, and the soldiers of the occupying army guarded it.
But after three days and three nights, a greater magic was done, and He took His body again, sitting with the Lord and the Lady, and showed Himself to His followers, to show them that Death is not to be feared.
And He said, "You have been bought, and redeemed, and nevermore shall you make sacrifice of blood, for this is the Final Sacrifice for all time, for all places, and for all those there are and were, and will be."
"And fear not Death, for it but a change in a MultiVerse of changes; another turning of the wheel on a road all must travel."
And He shall come again, as He has throughout all history, teaching the Great Truth: that we shall love the Deity, and love our neighbor, for Love is the heart of the Law, and that Law is Love.
For He is always with us and in us all.
"I don't -ever- want to go through that again!" The Fool spoke vehemently, thru tears.
"I don't think you'll have to go quite -that- far the next time," said the Lady.
"They'll still play their stupid games with blood, but not for very much longer."
"I hope not," said the Sacred King, "But do We have to put up with that Paul fella? He's a bit of a nut-case."
"If you want it to work out right, yes," said the Lady. "He may be a nut-case, but he'll spread the Word quickly, and, after a time, they'll get the idea. And from that will come the seed of My future believers."
"Sorry about that," said the Fool. "I did my best, but in such a patriarchal society as that one was, I just couldn't make much headway about You."
"No problem," She said. "They can deny Me all they want to, but I'm still here."
Thus it was, and so it is, and evermore shall be so!

TIME UNVEILING TRUTH" sketch (Giovanni Battista Tiepolo)"
93
Verses 75 and 76 of chapter 2 of "LIBER L VEL LEGIS", "THE BOOK OF THE LAW", comprising the Riddle of Aiwass, have as yet remained a mystery. They read as follows:
"AYE! LISTEN TO THE NUMBERS NOR SHALT THOU KNOW EVER. THERE COMETH ONE TO FOLLOW THEE: HE SHALL EXPOUND IT. BUT REMEMBER, O CHOSEN ONE, TO BE ME; TO FOLLOW THE LOVE OF NU IN THE STAR-LIT HEAVEN; TO LOOK FORTH UPON MEN, TO TELL THEM THIS GLAD WORD."
As prophesied, Aleister Crowley, the first Prophet of Thelema, never discovered the solution to the problem of these baffling verses. His first "MAGICAL CHILD" - or "DYNASTHAI" - i.e. C.S. Jones, a.k.a. Frater Achad, also failed to apprehend their meaning. Many others, including myself, have made their attempts, but each one has fallen flat. They have presented recondite, rambling torrents of elaborate Qabalistic theses on the matter, thinking that they had stumbled upon Truth; but none has issued much more than a disappointing flood of numerical vagaries.
I, myself, utilized the simple, uncontrived system of AQBL (OR ANGLOQABALAH) to arrive at the value of 395 as the sum of the meaningless numbers and words in the string at the beginning of the second verse, and presented this as the solution in my book of Gematric examination of "Liber Legis "entitled "The AQBL Key "(a PDF of which can be found in the sidebar library of this site). I arrived at this over twenty years ago; but little did I know - until now - that I had stumbled upon only the half of it. And this too was prophesied, way back in 1904 e.v., in v.56 of ch.1, which states:
"EXPECT HIM NOT FROM THE EAST, NOR FROM THE WEST; FOR FROM NO EXPECTED HOUSE COMETH THAT CHILD. AUM! ALL WORDS ARE SACRED AND ALL PROPHETS TRUE; SAVE ONLY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND A LITTLE; SOLVE THE FIRST HALF OF THE EQUATION, LEAVE THE SECOND UNATTACKED."
But I jump the gun. I need to provide some of the vital historical information - and to briefly explain the system used to arrive at the very simple solution to the verses in question - before divulging the solution itself.
I: History of the Riddle
In his "OLD COMMENT" to the first verse, "L" 2:75, Crowley writes:
"A FINAL REVELATION. THE REVEALER TO COME IS PERHAPS THE ONE MENTIONED IN [CH."] I, 55 AND III, 47. THE VERSE GOES ON TO URGE THE PROPHET TO IDENTIFY HIMSELF WITH HADIT, TO PRACTICE THE UNION WITH NU, AND TO PROCLAIM THIS JOYFUL REVELATION UNTO MEN."
IN THE "NEW COMMENT" TO V.75, HE WRITES:
"This passage following appears to be a Qabalistic test (ON THE REGULAR PATTERN) of any person who may claim to be the Magical Heir of The Beast. Be ye well assured all that the solution, when it is found, will be unquestionable. It will be marked by the most sublime simplicity, and carry immediate conviction.
"(The above paragraph was written previous to the communication of Charles Stansfeld Jones with regard to the '"numbers and the words"' which constitute the Key to the cipher of this Book. See the Appendix to these comment. I prefer to leave my remark as it originally stood, in order to mark my attitude at the time of writing.)"
He was wrong about Jones, as he would eventually come to realize, so he came to anticipate the arrival of yet another. In his "NEW COMMENT" to the second verse, he expressed his disappointment with Achad, leaving it pretty much at that. In his "DJERIDENSIS COMMENT", he writes two paragraphs of interest:
"75-76: With this the Angel changes His theme yet again with brusque swiftness, and propounds a final riddle. The object of this cipher is to furnish proof that the man destined to succeed me is my rightful heir. The test is that he is able to make clear the meaning of these '"the numbers ">"'
"This brief passage stops as it began-on a sudden, and Aiwass goes on at once to issue a last command to myself. I am to keep in constant mind that I am Hadit, that I am ever to aspire to make myself one with all things that may be, yet also to keep watch over mankind, for whose sake I first started on the path of Magick. My mission is 'to tell them this glad word.'"
And that was that. The solution - as simple as it was - would remain an enigma to all for decades to come.
II: THE SPHINX IS UNDONE
"OEDIPUS AND THE SPHINX (JEAN AUGUSTE DOMINIQUE INGRES)"
As explained in "THE AQBL KEY", I have always made use of the Gematria of Angloqabalah - or AQBL for short - to analyze English words Qabalistically. Unlike all other forms of English Gematria that have emerged previously, AQBL is not some artificially contrived system of arbitrarily assigned values for the letters of the English Alphabet, but simply the natural order and value that has been obvious all along. In the Gematria of AQBL, a letter bears the value of its place in the Alphabet. Using it, I arrived at 395 as the sum of "the numbers but they are as nothing compared with what I was to find next, right there under my nose - right in front of us all - all these years.
Again, I cannot stress enough the value of AQBL as a means of English Gematria. Unlike all other forms of English Qabalah, the attribution of the numbers to the letters is not something that I or anyone else invented, for that attribution has been there all along. It is utterly simple: A=1 through Z=26. That Crowley never even considered it in all his years is amazing. But, as a thorough analysis of "THE AQBL KEY" makes clear, its correspondences are nothing short of extraordinary.
I was just finishing up my last preparations when something made me stop to take another look at the verses themselves. I had never paid it any mind before, but suddenly I was struck by the odd way in which verse 75 ended - not with a period but with a colon. The string of meaningless numbers and words at the start of the following verse is actually the continuation - the second half in other words - of the riddle, not the whole of the riddle as I had assumed.
All of a sudden I was hit with an inspiration, as it were a whisper in my ear, saying: "ADD THEM TOGETHER". And so I did, not really expecting much to come of it. Then my jaw dropped and I was utterly aghast.
Look carefully at the words of Aiwass following the riddle itself:
"WHAT MEANETH THIS, O PROPHET? THOU KNOWEST NOT; NOR SHALT THOU KNOW EVER. THERE COMETH ONE TO FOLLOW THEE: HE SHALL EXPOUND IT."
Note that Crowley's primary Thelemic name was "TO MEGA THERION", which numerates as 666 by Greek Gematria. He referred to himself, therefore, as 666. I myself have gone by the name of Aleisterion since it was given to me in a vision over a decade ago. Its numeration, by Hebrew Gematria - i.e. Aleph-Lamed-He-Yod-Samekh-Tau-He-Resh-Yod-Vau-Nun - is 777. This value was also used by Fra.'.Achad : "FOR IT SIGNIFIES THE ONE (OR 111) to follow after 666".
What other solution more fitting, then, could be found, than that which I discovered once I totalled the numbers of the other half of the equation, in light of the words, "THERE COMETH ONE TO FOLLOW THEE: HE SHALL EXPOUND IT". This "ONE" (OR 111) has always been referred to numerically as 777.
BEHOLD:
Aye! listen to the numbers for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein.
"The child of thy bowels, "HE" shall behold them.
"Expect him not from the East, nor from the West; for from no expected house cometh that child. Aum! All words are sacred and all prophets true; save only that they understand a little; SOLVE THE FIRST HALF OF THE EQUATION, LEAVE THE SECOND UNATTACKED. But thou hast all in the clear light, and some, though not all, in the dark."
The emphasis in bold is mine, to highlight that this is exactly what happened. I had, for over twenty years, presented only half of the solution, failing to recognize that the existence of that colon meant that the riddle consisted not just of the string of numbers and words of the opening part of v.76, but of the words of v.75 as well.
III: THE OTHER QABALISTIC GEMS
While nothing can exceed the simple sublime perfection of what is presented above, there are numerous other Gematric gems to be found in the verses relevant to this matter. Below, I present a brief Qabalistic examination of the passages from "The Book of the Law "that apply to the one known as 777, or the "CHILD OF THE PROPHET". The value of these gems is that they illustrate why various idiosyncratic words and phrases may have been used by Aiwass, conveying as they do additional profound meaning.
The verses that fall under our examination here are: 1:54-56; 2:39; 2:75-76; 3:38; and 3:47. They are presented in order as they appear in "LIBER LEGIS".
1:54-56:
"CHANGE NOT AS MUCH AS THE STYLE OF A LETTER": style=81=letter.
"THOU, O PROPHET, SHALT NOT BEHOLD ALL THESE MYSTERIES HIDDEN THEREIN":
behold all=71=Thoth. Thoth, under the name Tahuti, is referenced in 2:39 as being associated with the "CHILD OF THE PROPHET". This is because the source of the "DYNAMIS" that inspired this second child or "DYNASTHAI" was Leah Hirsig, a.k.a. Soror Alostrael 31-666-31, whose title was "THE APE OF THOTH". She died in the 71st year of the Thelemic Age, which began with the reception of the Law of Thelema in 1904 e.v.
mysteries hidden=177=The Scarlet Woman
therein=79=Tahuti
"The child of thy bowels, "HE" shall behold them":
"HE" shall behold=111=secret key (SEE 1:46 AND 1:48)
of thy bowels=150=expected house ("EXPECT HIM NOT FROM THE EAST, NOR FROM THE WEST; FOR FROM NO EXPECTED HOUSE COMETH THAT CHILD")
"AUM! ALL WORDS ARE SACRED AND ALL PROPHETS TRUE; SAVE ONLY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND A LITTLE; SOLVE THE FIRST HALF OF THE EQUATION, LEAVE THE SECOND UNATTACKED. BUT THOU HAST ALL IN THE CLEAR LIGHT, AND SOME, THOUGH NOT ALL, IN THE DARK":
Aum=35=Nu (THE SAKTI-FORCE WHICH MANIFESTS IN THE SCARLET WOMAN)
words=79=Tahuti
of the equation=156=knowest not. This is also the value of Babalon in Hebrew; and Babalon is of course another name for the universal force of the Scarlet Woman.
the clear light=128=expound it (SEE 2:76)
in the clear light=151=tell them this (SEE AGAIN 2:76)
2:39:
"A FEAST FOR TAHUTI AND THE CHILD OF THE PROPHET- SECRET, O PROPHET!"
for Tahuti and the child of the Prophet=358=awake the lust this "LUST TO FOLLOW THE LOVE OF NU IN THE STAR-LIT HEAVEN; TO LOOK FORTH UPON MEN, TO TELL THEM THIS GLAD WORD":
remember=79=Tahuti
chosen one=98=prophet
to be me=60=Aiwaz
of Nu=56=Nu in Hebrew
star-lit heaven=154=There cometh one
the love of Nu in the star-lit heaven=353=secret that hath not yet been revealed (SEE 2:2)
tell them this=151=in the clear light (SEE 1:56)
word=60=Aiwaz
3:38:
"So that thy light is in me; its rays consume
Me: I have made a secret door
Into the House of Ra and Tum,
Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.
I am thy Theban, O Mentu,
The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat;
By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell.
Show thy star-splendour, O Nuit!
Bid me within thine House to dwell,
O wing`ed snake of light, Hadit!
ABIDE WITH ME, RA-HOOR-KHUIT":
a secret door Into the House of Ra and Tum=395, the value of the string of numbers and words constituting half of the riddle of Aiwass.
snake of light=127=Hadit burning. Also the value of the phrase, "THAT IS EASY". (SEE CROWLEY'S COMMENTARY TO 3:40 FOR BOTH OF THESE SIGNIFICANT PHRASES.)
ANKH-AF-NA-KHONSU=144=RA-HOOR-KHUIT
3:47:
"THIS BOOK SHALL BE TRANSLATED INTO ALL TONGUES: BUT ALWAYS WITH THE ORIGINAL IN THE WRITING OF THE BEAST; FOR IN THE CHANCE SHAPE OF THE LETTERS AND THEIR POSITION TO ONE ANOTHER: IN THESE ARE MYSTERIES THAT NO BEAST SHALL DIVINE":
in the chance shape of the letters=292=thy way in all the quarters (3:38)
"LET HIM NOT SEEK TO TRY: BUT ONE COMETH AFTER HIM, WHENCE I SAY NOT, WHO SHALL DISCOVER THE KEY OF IT ALL. THEN THIS LINE DRAWN IS A KEY: THEN THIS CIRCLE SQUARED IN ITS FAILURE IS A KEY ALSO. AND ABRAHADABRA. IT SHALL BE HIS CHILD FOR THEREBY ALONE CAN HE FALL FROM IT":
this line drawn=156=of the equation. Also Babalon in Hebrew.
circle squared=135=H Kokkine Gyne ("THE SCARLET WOMAN" IN GR.)
a key also=89=Therion ("BEAST" IN GR.)
strangely=121=to follow (SEE 2:76) This is also the value of "BEAST & HIS BRIDE" from 3:22, thus suggesting sex magick again. As does the following computation:
HIS CHILD ">

Herbal poultices, plasters, liniments, and ointments may be used by those suffering from both spiritual and physical afflictions. Poultices are generally supplied in the form of compressed dry ingredients to which water is added to make up a thick mixture that is applied to the skin. Commercially prepared herbal plasters are generally sold in flat sheets that stick to the body. Liniments are typically herb-empowered liquids that can be rubbed directly onto the afflicted part of the body. Ointments are stiff compounds of herbal ingredients, oils, and waxes that convey herbal ingredients to the skin and coat it with a protective or medicial layer of materials.
Workers who fashion their own poultices, plasters, liniments, and ointments often do hands-on healing work for their clients. In this fascinating intersection between magic and medicine we can see the double meaning in the term "ROOT DOCTOR."

Still focused on the scene at the Rochester, NY airport, this series continues to showcase the reality of the supernatural expressed in the natural, the unseen in what is seen. At some point you have to grasp the realities behind what is being physically modeled in the environment. If you're able to engage your rational mind here you're becoming less able to dismiss the notion that these things are merely groundless superstitions, the stuff of fiction and fantasy. There is no pretending or make-believe when WHAT YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART as present reality is so perfectly expressed in these excessively redundant modelings. This is the stuff of a grand conspiracy, not that of mere men but of the gods who rule them and their ancestors before them.
To "kick off" this post, consider how a coin toss decides who does what first at the start of many athletic competitions. This is a nod to Hermes, the god of contests. Really.
I left off in part 10 with a presentation of "The Council" as a wishing well. The coins tossed into it are sacrifices and prayers offered to the gods in the water. Like every other element in the scene, the coins have an inherent reproductive feature. Twenty-three characters are common to each denomination minted by the Federal Reserve, found on the face of each 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent piece. LIBERTYINGODWETRUST appears plus the four digit year during which the coin was minted. That's review from the previous post. Here's the rest of the model, as I understand it.
When someone tosses in a coin, something more happens beyond the sacrifice and wish or prayer to the gods in the water, more than a general enhancement of the power of the fertility ritual in which one has participated. Look into the water and see each coin in the pool as an individual's contribution of 23 chromosomes. SEE THIS AS THE NEPHILIM "GENE POOL"! The Beast kingdom is composed of the Beast as the head plus each member of the body, pooled or networked together spiritually and linked genetically as sibling spawn in one family.
Now, flip each coin over and examine it. Common to each is the Latin phrase, "E Pluribus Unum." Counting the characters, you'll discover that E Pluribus Unum has 13. "Thirteen" signifies "rebellion" and is a popular Beast number! If you look into the Nephilim gene pool, you'll see some of the coins are signaling 23 and all the others, 13. Get it? Picture the Nephilim gene pool next time you're tempted to throw a coin into a fountain or body of water.
As the flocks and herds of travelers pass by and sacrifice to the gods, their coins pile up on the bottom of the pool. Each stack of mixed metals will resemble the statue of Daniel 2 - even right down to the dust and dirt sediment that compares to miry clay on the bottom!
Each metallic coin features a 23 and the face of a man (or god - Mercury dime) on one side and 13 on the other. As such it represents the image of the Beast. Now, consider just what's being modeled if you have such a coin. You are a 23+23 chromosome Adam/clay being, value-enhanced with a metallic 23/13 item that facilitates buying and selling. While handling the object, would you be holding it in your right hand? Mark of the Beast signaling, clearly.
A couple of scriptures come to mind. The love of money is the root of all evil. Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's. (Compare George Washington's back-of-the-neck dangle to Antiochus "the antichrist" Epiphanes image and picture the apotheosis scene on the Capital Dome.) Would you like an investement strategy tip? Invest yourself in serving God and divest yourself of serving mammon.
"While the public has been made to believe E PLURIBUS UNUM refers to United States citizenship being made up of various ethnicity, what becomes clear when this phrase is interpreted within the mystical context of the Great Seal symbolism is that it could easily refer to one god represented by many names-a god known by various ancient cultures as having walked the earth 'many' times under 'many' names, yet was 'one,' or-E Pluribus Unum. This concept gains persuasion when harmonized with the other two mottoes-Annuit coeptis and Novus ordo seclorum-also taken from ancient texts What I believe "E Pluribus Unum" means is related to Tom Horn's insight. Because it's embossed upon each coin minted it's found more frequently in this than in any other context. This thirteen character Latin phrase that translates to "Out of many, One" speaks to me of the Beast (Apollo) kingdom. The many are the component members of the body and the one is the whole, the completed anti-messianic pyramid with the Beast established as its capstone head. In sum total it is then one, unified with the empowering Unholy Father serpent-dragon entity. In this form he is at the peak of his power and will war against the sovereign God - one army against the other. What will manifest as "E Pluribus Unum" is the antitypical "Army of One."
12) The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
13) These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14) These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.
Revelation 17:12-14
I believe the "Pluribus" members will be those with the mark of the beast. I believe there will come a genetic union with the gods that formerly walked the earth as the fallen angels and as their offspring with the daughters of men. I believe this is the testimony of the Bible, of extra-biblical literature, historical artifacts and such as the scene at the Rochester Airport roundabout and the gateway to High Falls. If Apollo, Hermes and Aphrodite are not at work as sub regents of the fallen Satan, what other explanation could be offered. If they have not bent the will and backs of those largely responsible for the environment in which we find ourselves today, we have surely altogether lost our minds.
"The Council" pictures the spirits of the Nephilim being released from their prison where they have been bound under chains of darkness. The sentence of seventy generations duration for what was done prior to the flood of Noah's day having been served, the day has come for carrying out the appointed judgment in the earth. They rise out of the bottomless pit, the watery abyss, incarnating into freshly prepared bodies. Those on earth who pitch their 23/13 into the gene pool donate their souls to the cause and their bodies are duly recycled. "CHA-CHING!" Doubt it? Open your eyes and look around.
WHAT ARE HUMAN BEINGS WITHOUT ANIMALS?
IF ALL THE ANIMALS CEASED TO EXIST,
HUMAN BEINGS WOULD DIE OF A GREAT LONELINESS OF THE SPIRIT.
FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THE ANIMALS
WILL HAPPEN SOON ALSO TO HUMAN BEINGS.
...ALL THINGS CONNECT
CHIEF SEATTLE
Interpretation key:
human being: daughters of men - the "Adam tree"
animals: sons of god - the "serpent tree"
"What happened to us at the great flood will happen soon to you. As we were disembodied and imprisoned, now we will disembody and imprison you. What comes around goes around."
We have been warned. Some of us are paying attention.

As dying and rising gods go, Dionysus is quite a spectacular example. So it is fitting that the lusty wine god handily won my Greek Pantheon poll. (See below on side bar) Rest assured that I only voted for him once. The god of wine received 41 percent of the vote, with Hermes coming in second with 24 percent.
Other than being a very sensual archetype, the giver of viticulture and viniculture is very obviously bound up in the early Christian development of the sacraments. The chalice, the wine, the dying and rising, all of it meshed very well with the imagery later employed by the Church.
The Dionysian Mystery parties of ancient Greece were not to be missed.
Hymns to the diety called "phallicae" were sung by throngs of half-naked revellers...accompanied by a procession of worshipers bearing gigantic..."ahem"...knobs...known as "phalos". Just imagine the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with lots more skin, drunk dancers, and ding-dong shaped balloons - and you'd be halfway there.
Underneath the very entertaining rituals, however, there was more than a desire to throw a naughty bash. The adherents of Dionysus were onto something that the contemporary Gnostic will no doubt appreciate. The festivities in honor of this god began in the woods by sacrificing a wild boar or hog. Curiously, pork was also roasted and offered to another dying and rising god - Osiris in Egypt. Pigs were not eaten by the Egyptians except in honor of their resurrected god. These traditions would make interesting dinner conversation the next time you slice the Easter ham at mum's house.
The hardcore followers of Dionysus engaged in a bloody supper of raw meat (not pork) after the main festival, finding deeper communion with the divine in the surreal banquet of warm blood, flesh and wine. It is difficult for us to imagine this scene, but we must consider the reasoning behind it. To eat the sacrificial flesh and blood was to consume the divine incarnate. "Sound familiar"?
Dionysus was beloved because he returned from death and gave the people wine. He was worshipped as the god who bequeathed a tool to break away from the usual, material existence and explore (admittedly drunken) paths to other worlds and other ways of thinking.
Given the sizable margin of victory in this poll, it seems that Dionysus' cult of wine, pork and smut continues to attract its fair share of admirers.

Seems there is now a scale to measure mindfulness (and it works on French people, too). OK, seriously, I had not heard of this measure before, so that's pretty cool. Before getting to the new research, here is the abstract and link to an article from 2006:
Measuring mindfulness-the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI)
Harald Walach, Nina Buchheld, Valentin Buttenmuller, Norman Kleinknecht, Stefan Schmidt. Personality and Individual Differences; 40 (2006) 1543-1555.
Abstract
Mindfulness, a concept originally derived from Buddhist psychology, is essential for some well-known clinical interventions. Therefore an instrument for measuring mindfulness is useful. We report here on two studies constructing and validating the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI) including a short form. A preliminary questionnaire was constructed through expert interviews and extensive literature analysis and tested in 115 subjects attending mindfulness meditation retreats. This psychometrically sound 30-item scale with an internal consistency of Cronbach alpha =.93 was able to significantly demonstrate the increase in mindfulness after the retreat and to discriminate between experienced and novice meditators. In a second study we broadened the scope of the concept to 86 subjects without meditation experience, 117 subjects with clinical problems, and 54 participants from retreats. Reducing the scale to a short form with 14 items resulted in a semantically robust and psychometrically stable (alpha =.86) form. Correlation with other relevant constructs (self-awareness, dissociation, global severity index, meditation experience in years) was significant in the medium to low range of correlations and lends construct validity to the scale. Principal Component Analysis suggests one common factor. This short scale is sensitive to change and can be used also with subjects without previous meditation experience.I was not aware that such scales were being devised, but it makes sense. The big push in psychology is to measure everything, so you MUST have a scale of some sort. How else can something be "manualized"?
Anyway, the authors presented some of the other models being developed contemporaneously with their own (there are links embedded in the PDF that did to transfer):
1.1. Other measures of mindfulness
1. Brown and Ryan (2003) presented a Mindfulness and Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) with a series of thorough validation studies that testify validity and sensitivity to change, apart from good reliability. However, the scale places a focus on attention and awareness, and thus leaves out
3. Recently Baer, Smith, and Allen (2004) developed the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Scale (KIMS). This scale is based largely on the conceptualization of mindfulness as applied in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The KIMS comprises 39 items and consists of four scales with each assessing one of four mindfulness skills. The internal consistency of these scales ranges from alpha.83 to.91. It was validated in two student samples and a small clinical sample. The scale does not cover all facets of the mindfulness construct. So far the scale was not tested on a sample with mindfulness experience (e.g. meditators) or a larger clinical sample.This is all very cool - I love discovering new stuff! I have included a bunch of articles on mindfulness measures at the bottom, a couple of which (noted) have the actual measures included in the article.
VALIDATION OF A FRENCH VERSION OF THE FREIBURG MINDFULNESS INVENTORY - SHORT VERSION: RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MINDFULNESS AND STRESS IN AN ADULT POPULATION

"BioPsychoSocial Medicine" 2010, 4:8doi:10.1186/1751-0759-4-8Published: 12 August 2010
ABSTRACT (PROVISIONAL)
Background
Whereas interest in incorporating mindfulness into interventions in medicine is growing, data on the relationships of mindfulness to stress and coping in management is still scarce. This report first presents a French validation of the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory-short form (FMI) in a middle-aged working population. Secondly, it investigates the relationship between psychological adjustment and mindfulness.
Methods
Five hundred and six non-clinical middle-aged working individuals rated themselves on the self-report French version FMI and completed measures of psychological constructs potentially
These data showed that mindfulness can be measured validly and reliably with the proposed French version of the FMI. The data also highlighted the relationship between mindfulness and stress in an adult population. Mindfulness appears to reduce negative appraisals of challenging or threatening events.

529. HOW DOES ONE REACH PURITY OF HEART?
(Comp 529) In the battle against disordered desires the baptised person is able, by the grace of God, to achieve purity of heart through the virtue and gift of chastity, through purity of intention, purity of vision (both exterior and interior), discipline of the imagination and of feelings and by prayer.
"IN BRIEF" (CCC 2532) Purification of the heart demands prayer, the practice of chastity, purity of intention and of vision. TO DEEPEN AND EXPLAIN (CCC 2520) Baptism confers on its recipient the grace of purification from all sins. But the baptized must continue to struggle against concupiscence of the flesh and disordered desires.
With God's grace he will prevail - by the "virtue"and "gift of chastity", for chastity lets us love with upright and undivided heart; - by "purity of intention" which consists in seeking the true end of man: with simplicity of vision, the baptized person seeks to find and to fulfill God's will in everything (Cf.
Rom 12:2; Col 1:10); - by "purity of vision", external and internal; by discipline of feelings and imagination; by refusing all complicity in impure thoughts that incline us to turn aside from the path of God's commandments: "Appearance arouses yearning in fools" (Wis 15:5); - "by prayer": I thought that continence arose from one's own powers, which I did not recognize in myself.
I was foolish enough not to know... that no one can be continent unless you grant it. For you would surely have granted it if my inner groaning had reached your ears and I with firm faith had cast my cares on you (St. Augustine, "Conf". 6, 11, 20: PL 32, 729-730). REFLECTION (CCC 2849) Such a battle and such a victory become possible only through prayer.
It is by his prayer that Jesus vanquishes the tempter, both at the outset of his public mission and in the ultimate struggle of his agony (Cf. Mt 4:1-11; 26:36-44). In this petition to our heavenly Father, Christ unites us to his battle and his agony. He urges us to "vigilance" of the heart in communion with his own.
Vigilance is "custody of the heart," and Jesus prayed for us to the Father: "Keep them in your name" (Jn 17:11; Cf. Mk 13:9, 23, 33-37; 14:38; Lk 12:35-40). The Holy Spirit constantly seeks to awaken us to keep watch (Cf. 1 Cor 16:13; Col 4:2; 1 Thess 5:6; 1 Pet 5:8). Finally, this petition takes on all its dramatic meaning in relation to the last temptation of our earthly battle; it asks for "final perseverance".
"Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake" (Rev 16:15). "(Next question: What are the other requirements for purity?) "

Welcome to Monday!
We've had a lovely weekend of stray cats and relaxation. Halloween seems like hours weeks ago. We're ready for one those questions everyone asks all the time and no one seems to know the answer, although there is a very simple answer that everyone seems to forget. Perfect for a Monday!
"HELLO SISTER,"
"
"SORRY, BEEN ON GOOGLE TOO MUCH THIS WEEKEND AND COME ACCROSS ALL SORTS OF SITES BY MISTAKE, ONE OF WHICH LEADS TO MY QUESTION. JESUS SAID NOT TO USE REPETITIVE PRAYERS AS THE HEATHENS DO WHICH HAS LEAD TO CRITICISM OF THE ROSARY BY NON-CATHOLICS. TO BE FAIR, IT IS QUITE REPETITIVE, SO HOW DO WE ANSWER THIS TO THE CRITICS?"
You'll be delighted to know I can put your mind at ease. There is more than one answer to this question, so let's start with the simplest explanation and work our way up.
Isn't it nice that people take this quote out of context and just lop off words that explain what Jesus was actually talking about: "vain" repetitive prayer" (according to the King James Bible)? I would go along with the poor sad Protestants that the rosary fills the bill on that account if I thought what they seem to think about the rosary, that it's a bunch of mumbling the "Hail Mary" hundreds of times. But we know differently, don't we? We realize that the Rosary is a meditative prayer in which "the mind if filled with thoughts of the life of Jesus" as seen through His mother's eyes.
What did Jesus mean when He said "vain", anyhow? Once again, it's not a good idea to go around interpretting the Bible on your own, especially when you have a copy that has key words and phrases changed to please British kings and queens. The King James Bible is translated from the Greek. There is no word for "vain" in Greek. The word used means something more along the lines of babbling.
Are you babbling when you say the Rosary? We understand that an observer might think you are. But we know you are not.
If that isn't enough to answer the critics, misguided though they are, consider this: Jesus was talking about "how the pagans pray", which would translate more along the lines of "babbling repetitive (incantations) to gods "who do not exist". Now "there" is an explanation of "praying in vain" if I ever heard one.
Once the disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray" and Jesus piped up with the Our Father. Should we only say that once? Or does 'repetitive' only means more than once in a day, or a few minutes, or what?
Unfortunately for us, in terms of answering the critics, the explanation lies in an understanding of what praying the Rosary" actually entails" and I'm not sure you're going to get very far before the critic's eyes glaze over. I have found that when it comes to the Rosary and Mary in general, the Separated Brethren would rather close their ears and hum than actually listen to the answer. They really can't seem to get past the word "Mary". If you start your sentence with "Mary", they're done. I might remind you, at this point, that after one brief other prayer, the Rosary pretty much starts right in with "Hail Mary.."
If you are saying the Rosary by sitting there with your beads saying dozens of Hail Mary's with no thoughts other than mumbling out the prayers (especially if you your mind is wandering about what time you have to pick up the kids and trying to remember if you told them to stand in the front or the back or under the tree or what to wait for you), then we all have a problem.

Recently, I has received a feeback from a friend who told me that the thai amulets has help him to tide over his tough period. Below is the email he wrote to me:
Hi Nayan,
Sorry was not able to response to you earlier. Thks for sharing so much info, although I may not feel the actual connection with any of the Buddhas or pursars, i am quite sure I am always being watched by the divine beings. I may experienced obstacle but evenly I am able to sail through the storm somehow. e.g. I have pray to Lord Ganesha when I hit the wall with no solutions, then came the answer or managed to clear without doing anythings further. Just yesterday, had to meet deadline on a task but had some delay. So just utter a prayer to the Lord Ganesha and same time pray to the wooden head guardian spirit, the solution came! That's the reason why I can't pin point which amulet is good or powerful as I wear atleast 3 at the same time. And that confirm my thoughts that I am watched by them all the time and the fact that all your recommendations of amulets work for me and did solved my issue. My experiences are not dramatic, no electric shocks, or unusual dreams but it works! Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.

I am happy that the thailand amulet are able to help him as I always believe, good and powerful amulets are to meant to help people to lead a better and happier life.
However, they are still people with incorrect thinking when wearing these holy powerful amulets.
Example:
after having a wealth amulet, except to sit at home and without doing anything, the money will fall from sky.
except to has many woman as their sex slave
work in office and the boss will treat or listen them as boss.
