Contemplating Love and Who I Am

.

 
Contemplating Love and Who I Am

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
 
Helen Keller

This entire lifetime I have been tried to tell a few women how much I love them, but it was not understood, not believed, and/or not felt. It would be such a nice experience; no, it would be absolutely a Wonder-Full experience to have a Sacred Woman feel the Love I have to share with her solely from my heart, and know it as the undeniable truth and come to feel the true depth of my Love for her and embrace it completely. That is a dream of mine, and it will surely come true one day; matter of fact I believe it is in the process of becoming a part of my earthly reality real soon, simply because I desire it and I know that I am worthy of it. Patience is a virtue that I have been embracing fully for a while now, and it is about to pay off.
To live and to never have experienced reciprocated Unconditional Love is to have never truly lived. I surely believe that we are here to experience Unconditional Love, above every other life experience. As one of my favorite songs says, “The Creator Has A Master Plan, Peace and Happiness Throughout The Land”, that can only be accomplished through Loving Unconditionally. Love is surely the only lasting answer and bringer of Peace and Joy Everlasting. There is no greater goal than to experience the reciprocating gift of True Love.
Look to Love to find the answer and reason for living, it is no secret that Love is the answer to every challenging situation that we can and ever will be faced with in life. There is nothing to big for the Sacred Energy of Unconditional Love to conquer and completely soothe.

I'm ready to live this thing called life; I'm taking it one day at a time.
Won't let the bad moments change my mind, I'm freeing my dreams from deep inside
I'm not trying to be something I'm not, I'm just trying to use, use what I've got
Over time you'll see that I may get a little bit weak, but it don't mean that I still don't have a dream
So I say reach up and touch the sky and fly
Jump up and kiss the sun
Look up but don't look back you're on the right track
Wake up and free your dreams into reality

I take each moment as if it's my last; don't want to rush my lessons no, oh
I’m embracing my future nothing from my past, I'm counting all my blessing oh, oh, oh
I'm not trying to be something I'm not, I'm just trying to use what I've got
Over time you'll see that I may get a little bit weak, but it don't mean that I still don't have a dream

So I say reach up and touch the sky and fly
Jump up and kiss the sun are ready
Look up but don't look back you're on the right track
Wake up and free your dreams into reality
Free your dreams, yeah, free your dreams, all you gotta do is free your dreams, free your dreams, just open up your heart, free your dream, it's in your mind, free your dreams

Just open up your heart, oh, oh it’s in your mind

So I say reach up and touch the sky and fly

Wake up and free your dreams into reality

Mama-Baba Goddess-God

.

 
 
Mama-Baba Goddess-God
Some have asked; why does he call Father God, Mama-Baba Goddess-God? The reality of this is I am simply doing what everyone does, calling The Divine what resonates best with them. I do not seek to offend or belittle anyone by doing so. This is how and why I see it the way that I do. I have not seen The Divine in any form outside of what I see in the whole of creation and myself. I say that because I see The Divine in everything, everything is in existence because of The Divine, The Divine created everything that this realm is made up of; even that which man has created has The Divine in it, yes even those creations that are less than perfect, distorted and dark. Absolutely nothing is void of the Sacred Energy of The Divine, which is none other than Mama-Baba Goddess-God.
However, I also envision The Divine as I do because of how I have been influenced since being born onto this dense physical plane. The first visual and verbal introduction to The Divine was God in the form of a caucasian man with long white flowing hair and a white beard, depicted in a way that I knew he was outside of me, different than me, and also above me. However since then my vision of The Divine has changed. Nevertheless, sometimes I still relate to The Divine as an exalted physical form because of my early programming, and because that gives me a little something more to hold onto than just a formless spirit/energy. One other point of influence; we are taught through christianity that we were created in the image and likeness of God. So to honor completely both Sacred Energies of The Divine, I chose to call The Divine Mama-Baba Goddess-God, honoring the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine Energies. Now I will explain one more thing about my choice. I placed Mama before Baba, which means Mother and Father, because I wanted to give special honor to that which has not been honored for such a long time, the Sacred Feminine Energy of The Divine. As I see it, neither is before or above the other, but humanity is so out of balance that it feels that something or someone has to be on top. Until we get that notion out of our psyche, and start working together as one in everything that we do, we are going to continue to go around in this vicious cycle we have been on for many millennia. We have not entered a new age for women to take over and run things the right way. We have entered this new age so that we can finally get it, and have both the Sacred Woman and the Sacred Man come together as one and return to the original plan of True Spiritual Oneness through our existence.
Humanity, man in specific has screwed up; but men have not and are not doing it alone, some women are helping. Beloved, we are all in this together like it or not. You cannot create a fire without both the material that will burn and that which will ignite it. We are trying to start a fire with only one thing. I hope and pray that humanity does not have to go through another cycle of one of us leading us all back to the same point of realizing that it does not work with one in the lead and over the other. I believe at this space in time, we are being called to come together as one and honor the Goddess-God in each of us; and realize without any doubt that we are to do this thing called life as one. Until we do that, we will ultimately continue to miserably fail at everything that we do. We cannot bake a cake without mixing the ingredients together and then allowing them to work together and become that which they are meant to be, without putting the ingredients together in the proper proportion they are designed to be in. We are trying to create something that calls for oneness, without each other participating equally in that which we are trying to create.  I must get back to talking about The Divine, maybe that will bring more light and understanding to what I am saying here.
As I understand from that which I have been taught throughout the 59 years of my life, The Divine is Spirit, Pure Eternal Energy; and that is what you and I are as well. We are in temporal physical bodies, and that seem to say that we will one day die and be no more; or as some believe we will be in a state of non-existence until judgment day, when it will be determined whether or not we will go to heaven and have a glorious existence throughout eternity, or we will go to hell and suffer damnation for eternity. I know that is another falsehood we have been fed that many continue to digest to the point of utter sickness, and that sickness is manifesting in the actions of many human beings. We must completely drop the notion that we are human beings, because that is not who or what we are eternally. (period) The bottom line is this; we are Spiritual Beings who are going through a temporary physical experience. It is past time for us to start carrying ourselves as we eternally truly are, and that has absolutely nothing to do with religion of any sort. Religion is a major part of the problem. Religion is mans feeble attempt to make some sense out of the mess he has created.
Man had to have turned his back on The Divine and the Sacred Truth and Divine Way to end up like this, and after seeing the mess he had made, he came up with the idea of religion, telling the people that there are a chosen few that will lead them out of the wilderness and into the promised land. That wilderness was the wicked thought process man had developed since separating himself from The Divine. First of all the reality of our existence is this, each and every one of us was chosen by The Divine Mama-Baba Goddess-God when we were created. There is no such thing as the chosen few, those who are highly favored above others, because of who they are and what they are doing, no not one, not even Jesus. According to the story of Jesus he even tried to teach those who followed he that Divine Truth. He even taught them not to follow him and exalt him. However, did anyone hear a thing he was saying and comprehend what he was teaching them? Because as soon as Jesus was no longer on this physical plane in physical form, they did the exact opposite of what he was teaching. Because of that, we now have a religion that has made Jesus God. How far into the pit of utter deception and foolishness is mankind going to go.
How long are we going to follow our limited human mentality around in circle to nowhere? We need to ask for Divine Direction, and when it comes follow it even if it is totally different from that which we are familiar with. I actually should say, especially when it is different from that which we are familiar with. Whatever we ask for in sincerity from The Divine, we receive in due time; we just must be patient. Patience is another major issue of humanity, we want everything yesterday; and don’t even think about telling us we must do this and that before we can get something, the nerve of you. How screwed up can the human race get? The human race can get screwed up to the point that it already has, to the point of being at the brink of being able to destroy this precious planet completely. Nevertheless, not to worry, The Divine Mama-Baba Goddess-God will never allow humanity destroy this Glorious Creation. We may have some power, but not that much power for sure.
We are becoming to Earth Mother what dis-ease is to our physical bodies. Because of that Earth Mother is gearing up to cleanse herself, that is something that we surely do not want to happen; because if she starts cleansing herself of us, the dis-ease she is experiencing, we the human race will be purged completely from her. Nevertheless, if that happens that still does not release us from the responsibility of getting things right. We will simply incarnate on another plane and start school all over again, until we finally get it right. I don’t know about you, but I want to get this thing called life right this time around if at all possible. Then I can move on to whatever The Divine has in store for me next. I want to, and will consciously evolve into the Eternal Spiritual Being that I have always been. I have and am still learning patience and the ability to take it one step at a time, no giant steps, no leaping; just one steady step at a time. Doing it that way I am able to learn everything I am supposed to learn as I sojourn through this dense physical plane. Taking it slow allows us to savor every single precious moment, and learn every precious lesson we are here to learn. We must consciously step out of the state of impatience and wanting everything instantly. It takes time for things to really seep in and truly become a part of us. It is like cooking, when you allow something to slowly simmer, all of the flavors blend together perfectly, and cause us to experience the delight of a savory dish of food.  We need to learn how to slow down and allow that which comes to us to simmer and bring forth its true flavor, its true meaning to us within our psyche; that is how we truly enjoy and appreciate this experience called life.
Mama-Baba Goddess-God, I continue to seek a deeper more intimate personal relationship with You, no matter what that calls for me to do. I go within to seek Your Divine Direction on a daily basis. I Love You Mama-Baba Goddess-God, with everything that makes up who I am; I also see You are in everyone and everything, even though sometimes my sisters, brothers and myself do not always act according to Your Divine Will; please forgive us for such times as those. My life is totally dedicated to service unto You Mama-Baba Goddess-God in your multitude of forms. 
I Am One With Mama-Baba Goddess-God!

Proper Prosperity

.

 
Proper Prosperity
“If your brain can move your body with a split second command thought, imagine what it can do with concentrated and directed thought”.

Dr. Therman Evans

“Through the power that is a part of our Eternal Spiritual Being, we can create and move that which is thought to be impossible; when we do so many call it a miracle. Actually it is not a miracle at all; it is simply you and I functioning as we are created to function. We are Possibility Beings; nothing is impossible for us to create. That is why it is of the utmost importance for us to be focused and balanced in everything that we do with spiritual significance as our Guiding Light. Without the spiritual component factored in as the primary source of creation, we could be very dangerous in that which we create.
Our thoughts are building blocks, the building blocks of our reality. When our reality overlaps with the realities of our sisters and brothers, our creations are join together and they are magnified; that is when ripples of energy from our creations are send throughout the world and the entire universe. The key point of our importance here is to consciously create; consciously create that which will benefit the Whole of Creation. Our thoughts moving a mountain is nothing, our thoughts can be a part of forming the entire universe and everything that is a part of it. We are creators because we are one with Spirit The Creator, Mama-Baba Goddess-God! So let us be ever conscious of the power that we possess within us, and use that power in a spiritually conscious and reverent way”.

Saved By The Blood?

.


Saved By The Blood?
Yes, I Am Saved By The Blood; but not the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus; I Am Saved by The Sacred Love Filled Blood of The Spiritual Being of Mama-Baba Goddess-God known now as Baba-Kundi Ma`at-Shambhala. I know that this sounds ridiculous and as far-fetched as a story can get, yet it is our reality. Now what I am sharing here may be detrimental to some of my relationships; because many I know are christians, and this will not set well with them and the teaching they believe and follow. To many what I am saying is nothing short of pure blasphemy. However, to others this will be something to consider as truth, because there have been many so-called saviors in the world. For example, there is a book from ancient Egypt that was written before Jesus was even born, and in that book you will find stories that parallel every story in the bible. Now does that mean that the bible was plagiarized, or does the bible fall in line with the saying and belief that there is nothing new under the sun, and what happened according to the bible is just history repeating itself, because humanity has yet to understand what it is being taught?
First you must understand this, the bible that is used today is a mere fragment of its original form, it was dissected and changed by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in AD 325. Now give this some thought; what is being taught through religion is like a formula, a recipe for spiritual perfection. However, as with a cake recipe, if you leave out one ingredient, such as the baking soda, that which will cause the cake to rise you no longer have a cake. Well, there you have it; that which was taken out of the bible has rendered it somewhat powerless, which is why things are not getting better as they should for those who follow the teachings of the bible. The bible teaches that we should study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Yet we are taught that we should do that which we do by way of blind faith. Great Spirit The Divine does not want us to do anything in a state of blindness, not even following Divine Truth. That is simply something that was inserted for the purpose of manipulating and controlling the masses.
I must share with you what just came to me as I was thinking about being saved? What I see as a new and true revelation just presented itself to me; and it said that not one of us are saved symbolically/metaphorically because most of us are not and never have been lost; at times we may have just been a little confused and standing still with our Spiritual First Eye closed tight, (our Spiritual First Eye is the same as what some call the Third Eye). However, there are those times when some of us have followed deceptive teaching and direction, and because of that we have ended up lost in the forest of confusion, in dark realms we are totally unfamiliar with; it is at times like that when we truly need to be rescued from the darkness. Nonetheless, we never need to be symbolically/metaphorically saved by the blood of anything. It is not being saved by the blood of the lamb as some religions teach that is needed; we need to and must be saved by The Love of The I Am! For those of you who are not familiar with the term I Am, the I Am is our Beloved Spiritual Parent/Creator Mama-Baba Goddess-God, also known to many as God and/or Spirit. What a Wonder-Full Spiritual Revelation that is; we are saved by the most Awesome Power of all, the Awesome Loving Power of Mama-Baba Goddess-God, which is none other than All Conquering Unconditional Love. The I Am will lead us out of the darkest of places if we would but keep our focus on it at all time. Love will guide us through everything that is of course if we allow it to.
So in essence, if you feel like you may need saving from something, someone, or some place, call on The Love of The I Am and Mama-Baba Goddess-God will appear in some form and make a way out of what may seem like no way.

Change - Transformation

.

 
Change - Transformation
Change-transformation is needed in the world today. I am speaking of none other than the total change-transformation of humanity. This change-transformation I have been contemplating has begun to take place in me, and it will continue to take place within me and through me with every breath I breathe, with every thought I think, and with every action I perform; until I have once again consciously reached that Sacred Spiritual State of Perfection that I was created in by Perfection Itself; Great Spirit Mama-Baba Goddess-God.

My First Eye, which is my Spiritual Sight, is wide open and is now seeing the Glory of Goddess-God. My First Ear, which is my Spiritual Hearing, is wide open and clear and it is hearing the Beauty-Full Sounds of the Sacred Guidance of Goddess-God. I am extremely grateful for the change-transformation that has taken place within my overall consciousness and being. What Glorious and Wonder-Full experiences humanity has been afforded in this physical incarnation of Sacred Awakening and Divine Remembrance. I bow to and surrender totally to all of the spiritual direction that has and will come to me.

I Am That I Am, All That I Am, and All That I Am Is Love.

I Fully Manifest Within Me and Through Me The Change I Seek In The World.

Oil of Oregano

.

 
What are the Benefits of Oil of Oregano?

The ancient Greeks were one of the first people to recognize this oil for its health benefits and medicinal qualities. It is known to be a potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic oil that can reduce pain and inflammation and effectively fight off infections.

Some of the specific benefits of this amazing oil are:
  • Destroying organisms that contribute to skin infections and digestive problems.
  • Strengthening the immune system.
  • Increasing joint and muscle flexibility.
  • Improving respiratory health.

Uses of Oil of Oregano

Skin Infections
Oil of Oregano can be applied directly onto the skin to treat itches, skin infections, and irritated gums, but only if it has been diluted. Always follow the instructions on your particular bottle before applying topically onto the skin, since highly concentrated oils may first need to be mixed with Olive Oil or Coconut Oil before application (usually one teaspoon of Olive Oil or Coconut Oil per one drop of Oregano Oil).
Digestive Problems
The high concentrations of thymol and carvacrol in Oil of Oregano have been shown to calm upset stomachs and aid digestion. Therefore, a quick home remedy for mild indigestion is to drink a glass of milk or juice that is mixed with 2 or 3 drops of the oil.
Sinus Congestion
Oil of Oregano is a wonderful natural remedy for sinus congestion. A common solution is to add 3 drops of the oil into a glass of juice and drink this mixture daily for 3 to 5 days.
Colds and Sore Throats
Oil of Oregano is an excellent early defense mechanism when you feel a cold or sore throat coming on. Simply take 3 drops of the oil once per day (you can mix it into a glass of orange juice) and you should notice results within a few hours. Repeat this once per day for up to 5 days until the symptoms are gone.
What are the Side Effects of Oil of Oregano?
While Oil of Oregano has many benefits, there are a few possible side effects:
  • It may reduce the body's ability to absorb iron. Therefore, it is recommended that any regular use be combined with regular consumption of iron supplements. For this reason, women are advised not to take this oil during their pregnancy.
  • Pregnant women should also avoid this oil since it can stimulate blood flow in the uterus, which can weaken the lining that surrounds the fetus in the womb.
  • People that have allergies to thyme, basil, mint, or sage may be sensitive to Oregano Oil as well, since they are in the same family of plants. If any skin irritation, rashes, or vomiting occurs when using it, it is recommended that you discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Where and How to Buy Oil of Oregano
Oil of Oregano can be found in almost any natural health or nutrition store, or from online retailers such as Amazon.com (see below). It is important to make sure that it is derived from Origanum Vulgare, and that the carvacrol concentration is at least 70%.




Natural News

Oregano is nature's antibiotic. It may be one reason why people who eat a Mediterranean diet tend to live longer and healthier lives. Besides making pizza, pasta and salad taste great, the oil of the wild oregano plant has been shown to kill unwanted bacteria, fungus, yeast, parasites and viruses. It's a powerful antihistamine. New research is finding that oil of oregano is as effective against colitis as prescription drugs without the harmful side effects. It is also able to regenerate liver cells.

Oil of oregano is made from the leaves and flowers of the wild oregano plant found growing naturally in the remote mountainous regions of the Mediterranean where there is little pollution. It is a member of the mint family. The flowers and leaves are harvested when the oil content of the plant is at its highest. It has a history that stretches back to the ancient Greeks, whose name for it translates into "joy of the mountain". They used it to treating infection related illnesses and diseases. As the dangers of antibiotic use become more apparent, health conscious people as well as holistic healers are looking for natural alternatives to treat infections. They are finding oil of oregano to be the perfect natural choice.

The ingredients in oil of oregano are unique


What is sold in most traditional grocery stores as oregano is not wild Mediterranean oregano. It has little preventative or therapeutic value. Real wild Mediterranean oregano is of two varieties. Thymus capitatus
is the variety that grows in Spain. Most of the oregano that grows throughout the rest of the Mediterranean is the origanum vulgare variety. In order to obtain the health benefits of oil of oregano, the oregano must be of one of these two varieties.

These are the ingredients found in oil of oregano that provide its unique properties:

Carvacrol
has been proven in studies to be a powerful antimicrobial, so powerful that it can be used to preserve food and render it self-stable. Reseach has shown it to be effective against candida albicans, the aspergillus mold, staphylococcus, campylobacter, klebsiella, e.coli, giardia, pseudomonas, salmonella, and listeria. Carvacrol provides many of the health benefits of oil of oregano .

Thymol
is a natural fungicide with antiseptic properties. It is the active ingredient in Listerine mouthwash. Thymol is also an immune system booster and a shield against toxins. It is capable of preventing tissue damage and encouraging healing.

Terpenes
is the source of the word turpentine. Terpenes give off a pine scent and are also produced by pine trees. Terpenes have potent antibacterial properties.

Rosmarinic acid
is a stronger antioxidant than vitamin E. It prevents free radical damage and is instrumental in preventing atherosclerosis and cancer. Rosmarinic acid has shown to be effective in the treatment of allergic asthma. It reduces fluid build up and swelling during an allergy attack, and is an effective natural antihistamine.

Naringin
is the substance that gives grapefruit its bitter taste. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and helps boost the effect of antioxidants.

Oil of oregano also contains a good amount of the vitamin E complex, as well as calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper, boron, manganese, vitamins A and C, and niacin.

Recent research shows oil of oregano beneficial to the colon and liver


A study reported in the journal Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology
investigated the treatment efficacy of intra-rectal and intra-peritoneal application of oregano oil on induced colitis in rats using a morphological damage score. They found a significant difference in terms of ulceration, mucus cell depletion, inflammatory cell infiltration, vascular dilatation, crypt abcesses, and edema between the group given oregano oil compared to the control group.

A study reported in the journal Mediators of Inflammation
examined the anti-inflammatory effects of the combination of thyme and oregano oil administered at three concentrations on mice with induced colitis. They found that the treatment decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta, IL-6, GM-CSF, and TNF-alpha, especially after the application of the medium dose of 0.2% thyme and 0.1% oregano oil. The medium dose also significantly lowered the amount of the IL-1beta and IL-6 proteins. Administration of the medium dose decreased the mortality rate, accelerated the body weight gain recovery, and reduced the macroscopic damage of the colonic tissue.

Phytomedicine
reports a study to investigate the possible effects of carvacrol obtained from oregano oil on the regenerative feature of the liver following partial hepatectomy in rats. The liver regeneration rate of the animals was calculated measuring the weights of their livers before and after the hepatectomy. The researchers found that the liver regeneration increased significantly in the rats given the oregano oil compared to the control group.

Another study reported in Phytomedicine
investigated the comparative effects of carvacrol in the liver of rats subjected to restricted blood supply and the restoration of blood flow to the organs and tissues following a period of time. They found that carvacrol ws able to protect the liver against defects caused by the event. They also found carvacrol to be non-hepatotoxic at the applied doses.

Oil of oregano is a powerful and versatile medicine


In his book, The Cure is in the Cupboard
, Dr. Cass Ingram tells of how oil of oregano saved his life after he contacted a blood borne fungus from an IV needle. He claims that oil of oregano holds supremacy as nature's most powerful and versatile antiseptic. It is a preservative that can be used to halt the growth of microbes and reduce the risk for food poisoning in meats, eggs, milk and other foods. In his book he lists more than 170 conditions for which the oil may be useful, including treatment for athletes foot, psoriasis, eczema, worms, amoebae, and protozoa. It is helpful in combating diarrhea, intestinal gas, sore throat, sinusitis, breathing difficulties, dandruff, diaper rash, bee stings and venomous bites. It can help reduce fever, relieve cramps, and reduce the effects of measles and mumps.

Herbal authority Steven Foster credits oregano as having been used successfully to treat indigestion, diarrhea, nervous tension, insect bites, toothache, earache, rheumatism, and coughs due to whopping cough and bronchitis.

Using oil of oregano


There is a large quality difference in oil of oregano products currently on the market. Most products do not contain pure oil of oregano. They are instead a combination of oregano oil with a dilutive oil such as olive or flax. Some of these products probably contain a significant amount of oil of oregano, others do not, but there is no way to know. It would also be helpful to know if the oil of oregano was naturally extracted. If you find a brand that tells you how much actual oil of oregano is in the product, the next step is to determine the amount of the active ingredients which are primarily the volatile oils carvacrol and thymol. This is not an easy task.
