Are Modern ‘Faith Healing’ and Biblical Healings the Same?

Are Modern Energy Healing and Biblical Healings the Same?

My curiosity about physics (the study of the physical universe) and my search for a safe refuge from the allopathic nightmare (medical barbarism currently engulfing the country and much of the world) led me to study two disciplines of what is called “energy medicine” or “energy healing”.

One consists of tapping on various points on yourself or others either using your finger tips or just in your imagination while at the same time verbalizing emotional issues vocally or mentally.  The other is more meditative combining breath, body awareness and sometimes touch to create changes in health.

(I do not endorse or recommend any particular medical treatment or any “alternative” health treatment.  I believe that you should do your due diligence in every matter.  Especially is this vital in the religious and health/medical area.)

I found that many people would react to seeing or experiencing energy healing in a wide variety of ways.

Some feel that energy healing is obviously God working through humans.  Others view it unequivocally as the devil’s work.  What a strange contrast!

.

.

Since the healings in the *Bible were attributed to God the question arises whether or not modern energy healing is the same as these.  Its vitally important to get to the truth of the matter.  Why?

If you have studied the Bible you realize that God doesn’t appreciate it when people claim that they have been sent and empowered by him when they have not. (Deut.18:20)  Or if they have been sent and/or empowered by him but fail to attribute it to God, this also gets a negative reaction from him.  (Deut.32:48-52)

Therefore, the question as to whether energy healers are working directly with God and have been moved by God to any particular healing session as well as becoming a healer in the first place is a question that any wise person would wish to answer.

Without further ado, lets get to the search!

The first thing we need to do is analyze an account of Biblical healing.  Now, please know that there are several however they have certain similarities which run through all of them.  I’ve chosen this passage in Matthew because it does a good job of demonstrating these similarities in a brief way.  Here Jesus heals a man with a withered hand:

(Matthew 12:9-14) “After departing from that place he [Jesus] went into their synagogue; 10 and, look! a man with a withered hand! So they asked him, “Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath?” that they might get an accusation against him. 11 He said to them: “Who will be the man among you that has one sheep and, if this falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not get hold of it and lift it out? 12 All considered, of how much more worth is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do a fine thing on the sabbath.” 13 Then he said to the man: “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored sound like the other hand. 14 But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him that they might destroy him.”

There are many spiritual insights and lessons we can take away from these scriptures.  But focus on the actual healing.  Notice that it was instant and complete.  Almost every healing recorded was that way.  The exceptions were for good reasons.

How does energy medicine compare?  If a person with a withered hand was to be worked on with energy healing it would take several sessions of minutes or hours in length to address the issue.  And a complete recovery may never come.

Why are Biblical healings so instant and complete?  The Bible reveals that they simply have a very different power source.

In the case of Jesus Luke 5:17 says, “Jehovah’s* power was there for him to do healing.”

God has limitless power.  He can cause a field of this power to emanate from himself.  When this power transfers from a potential power to a kinetic force (to be sent forth to accomplish a task) the Bible then terms it holy spirit. This force, backed by an unlimited intelligence and an unlimited wellspring of power, is completely and absolutely irresistible.

Do modern day energy healers work with this holy spirit?

Well, often times they are not able to offer much help to a certain person or perhaps a person’s condition.  What is their usual explanation to this?  Usually they will say that the person isn’t ready, the person must need to learn from the problem in some way.  Jesus never gave that excuse.  He enjoyed a 100% success rate.  Jewish prophets were always successful as well.  Jesus’ disciples had only one recorded failure (that I can recall right now) otherwise they’re healings were as instant and complete as Jesus’ healing were.  (We’ll deal with this further in a related post “Are Modern ‘Faith Healing’ and Biblical Healing the Same?”)

Consider too that very few energy workers ever use God’s name (a prerequisite of working with God) and rarely do they even claim that God is directly empowering them.

Energy workers actually use another basic source.  One name for it is the “unified field”.

Let me use an analogy for this and then explain it deeper.

Adam is the name God gave the first man.  What it actually means is “Earthling Man; Mankind; Humankind”.  Yes, mankind was from the earth.  All of the elements in our bodies can be found in the elements of this world that we live on.  We are made of “dust” or “clay” as the Bible says.

But go deeper.  What is the dirt and air and sunlight made of?  It is made of atoms and subatomic particles.  But where do these things come from?

They come from a information field that seems to be present everywhere.  This is what many term the unified field.

This is simply the stuff that the universe is made out of.  No one definition really explains it adequately as of yet.  But you and I understand that we are made out of energy.  Matter is a compounded form of energy.  What is just becoming accepted in the scientific community now is the fact that consciousness affects subatomic energy.

What many believe is that our consciousness actually achieves this by manipulating the unified field (known by many different names, this is an energy field all around us and that flows through us) to a certain extent.  It is through this field that subatomic particles and therefore every level of energy form (even matter) above it can be altered.

Doing this requires that the energy worker focus his/her consciousness in a certain way.  Usually a certain breath pattern and emotional state (peace, love, calm, etc.) is useful and sought after.

Remember, this unified field seems to be omnipresent in the universe.  In contrast, God’s holy spirit is not.  Many view that as blasphemy.  But the Bible shows this as its nature throughout.  It is sent forth or set in motion for specific tasks only.

Here is another key difference: the unified field can be effected by any sentient being’s consciousness while God’s holy spirit is only under his control and works through those whom he directly empowers with it.

As well, it is likely that God created the unified field somewhere in the distant past.  That contrasts with holy spirit, which being a force that emanates from God, has no beginning just as God has no beginning.

So based on this line of thinking (obviously one post isn’t enough to go into much detail) we can see that modern energy healing is a very different phenomenon from the healings recorded in the Bible.

That in itself doesn’t make it evil or good.

I personally use the unified field for healing because it is a structural truth of the physical universe and thus my existence.  It seems logical that since all humans can affect it easily with a little bit of training that it was meant to be used as a tool for us to interact with ourselves, each other and the universe.

But are there any drawbacks or dangers in energy medicine/healing?  Yes.  I’ll get into this in another article!

*Many view the Bible valuable only as a cultural treasure but not necessarily a source of absolute truth or as the very thoughts of God directed to man.  Through an exhaustive study I have come to believe the latter.  This despite the ills of religion which claim to follow its teachings.  They clearly do not.

*Footnote: If you read this scripture in most Bible’s you will see “the Lord’s power” instead.  However, the Greek word translated “Lord” is NOT here.  Rather it is the Hebrew tetragrammaton.  That means the four letters standing for the personal name of the almighty creator of the universe, whose exact pronunciation has been lost.  The most used English translation is simply “Jehovah”.  By replacing this name with “LORD” or “Lord” confusion ensues and people read it as Jesus (also a Lord) empowering himself.

I was almost run over this morning…

The day was beginning very nicely.  Terrific temperature and weather.

I just parked my car and began to walk up the street to work.  I stepped into the intersection and a black SUV pulled up at the same time.  I was about a quarter of the way across the vehicle when it moved again plowing right into me.

I hit the vehicle first with my left palm and then my body.  It was a pretty big shock.  In a split second I was walking calmly and then I was being run over.  I made a pretty big thud on the vehicle.  I suppose that made the driver notice me and stop.  Which I appreciated!!  I pushed off and leaped across the rest of the distance to the other side the whole time looking for the face of the driver.

Because of glare I couldn’t see the driver’s face until I was on his left.  The driver was a man.  He was looking apologetic and as surprised as I was.  I never broke my stride, but I felt my facial expression melt from one of surprise and demanding (an explanation) to one of acceptance.  I nodded at him and kept going.

My reaction and the drivers reaction was all very interesting as it had nothing to do with thinking and logic but everything to do with reflex.

It is at the times when we have no time to think that the truth about ourselves is revealed.

My left palm was reddish from the impact and my emotions were swirling.  But the most conscious part of me was very curious (as always) how and why I handled the situation as I did and how I would handle the situation going forward.

I decided to do EFT (emotional freedom techniques) on this event to clean up the emotional clutter quickly and get some insight about it.

I focused on the accupressure points instead of tapping them since my hand was hurting now.

“I was just about run over!”  That statement registered about a 9 on the 0-10 intensity scale.  But it wasn’t the biggest thing.

“Hey, look where you’re going!”  That was a bigger one!  I cleared that quickly but it had underpinnings.

“Did he do that deliberately?!”  That was deeper and full of resentment and suspicion.  It cleared quickly.

I looked at my hand again and the red was starting to go down.  Anyhow, I imagine tapped on “my hand pain” quickly.  It didn’t go down right away so I continued on.

“I’m embarrassed to have almost been run over.”  That actually was big for me and explained why I kept moving.

But I had also looked for the drivers face pretty intently.  When I saw he was shocked and embarrassed I had felt pity for him.  Why did I feel that so quickly?

I realized that a memory was surfacing.  A long time ago I was pulling away from a stop sign after looking across the road to my left but not my right.  I don’t know how I missed it but a man was crossing in front of me and I just about took him out.  I didn’t hit him but he was sure upset.  “HEY!!” was about what he said.  But then he glared angrily at me as he crossed the remainder.  I remember apologizing but he didn’t accept it.  I felt very bad and embarrassed and to this day I’m a much more alert driver especially at stops.

I also now see that I have some true empathy for people who make that sort of mistake.

Usually, after something like this the event would circle around and around in my mind at least for a day.  But after the EFT I didn’t think of it again until the middle of the day.  I looked at my hand and flexed my wrist.  There was no mark and no pain at all.

I feel that in fact a lot of our injuries from and around situations may come from a hyper stimulation of our body’s emotional/bioenergy system.  It creates a fluctuation which acts as a blockage of normal flow and disease ensues over time or makes healing slow, faulty and/or incomplete.

Sometimes drunk drivers are hardly hurt when careening into other cars.  Their victims are often severely damaged.  Perhaps one variable in this is that the drunk driver is calm and relaxed in semiconsciousness while the wide eyed victims are clearly experiencing their world coming apart in vivid detail and have that emotional/energetic overload I spoke of.

Who knows.

But I was afforded a glimpse of some valuable traits in myself.  Emphathy, forgiveness, and a tendency to suspend judgment until I can get actual facts.  Just as I’ve been trained to be.

Yes, times of crises are useful for seeing into people’s hearts…especially our own.

What Happens When an Irresistible Force Opposes an Immovable Object?

This riddle was expounded to me around 20 years ago. I was totally in a physics mindset when I heard it. I had just posed a question to the others I was riding with in an old Subaru. I asked, “how do the clouds just hang there?” Air pressure, I was told. Hmmm. Too simple. Had to think about that. But then my friend threw this one at me and it held my complete attention.

Whenever I encounter the mention of absolutes I perk up. I always know that I am either hearing a naked lie (distortion, exaggeration) – which I then feel compelled to expose – or I’m about to discover another pearl of truth, which is even more exciting! But its usually the former instead than the later.

Well, the whole car group was stumped. I think someone said that nothing happens, the two cancel each other out.

Well, my friend who expounded the question was able to think as I do…of God and physics in the same thought without coming to blows with himself. I factored that in.

What it really comes down to is what you believe in. If you think that the universe just spontaneously appeared there is neither any immovable object nor are there any irresistible forces.

An object is massive (has mass) and mass is a finite or definite amount of energy at one location. So, there can be truly daunting objects in the universe but nothing totally irresistible since its limited by definition.

However, even if energy is unlimited in this universe, which is another question, it would take a controlled and conscious mind to be able to engineer the focus and application of it in order for it to truly be irresistible. Why?

Well, humans are the foremost known and proven intellects in the universe. We can conceivably add force to an object until we get the desired result. It takes some thinking and ingenuity but we may eventually be able to apply the force necessary to effect any object, no matter how massive. Archimedes said, “give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.”

But only if there is a Creator/Designer who is all powerful and all wise could a force ever truly to irresistible in a complete and absolute sense. That is because not only does infinite force have to exist, it must also be focused with intelligence and flexibility in order to override other intelligences in the universe.

Now…this little mental dance is quite annoying to some, a novelty for others…but to those who believe that there is an all powerful and loving Creator…

…it is a pearl of truth to put in your treasury.

The scriptures say that God told his spirit sons his purpose for the Earth. Genesis 1:26. He later expounded upon it to the new human family on Earth in Genesis 1:28. By looking through the lens of the rest of the scriptures one can deduce that the Garden of Eden (meaning pleasure) was supposed to be a seed of perfect beauty that would blossom forth over the entire Earth. From there humans would spread out and take the garden with them to all areas of the Earth. Life was to be without pain, suffering or death. Cooperation with the Creator, nature and each other would be the fuel of this motion, not a greedy self-serving and destructive competitive spirit.

Now all of the other creative days ended with God reviewing them and seeing that “it was very good.” The new factor of free will in the human creation was a bump in the road. But was God altered in his path? Isaiah 55:11 states that when he truly determines to do something it is immutable. He would become a liar if he were not to complete it. He would be admitting failure.

Applying that rule to this case neither human free will, nor any other force or object in the universe is equal to the irresistible power that he will muster to make this a reality. And he will do it without breaking a single one of his own rules such as respect for the free will that he has given other intelligences in His universe.

That is why Genesis starts off with a problem and Revelation ends up prophesy stated as if it has already occurred, because to him it is as good as done since no one can stop him:

“4 He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” 5 And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also, he says: “Write, because these words are faithful and true.” 6 And he said to me: “They have come to pass! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free.” – Revelation 21:4-6.

At the end of this, the seventh day, God will say, if he truly does have irresistible power…

“It is very good!”

An exercise in “Mommy, what is that?”

We’ve all heard a child say that, yes?

Consider with me the awesome questing mind of a child. Have you ever looked closely at their eyes? Wide, eager, trusting. Not recognizing lies they will often believe anything anyone tells them.

Notice how their tiny hands grasps yours and shakes you. They’re curiosity is oh so tangible, its hungry, its joyful. But these gestures bespeak so much more. It’s warmth and love and trust. It’s a fundamental belief that you have only their best interests at heart. That what you teach is simple truth out of love from your heart.

Children have an inborn belief that there is a source of truth in the form of people who have their best interests at heart.

This can be said to be their earliest “software” programming. It is also evident that it was not learned. They came equipped with it.

But what feelings does that excited learning cause in you? Do you feel loved, needed, smart, wise, strong, humbled? Do you feel a deep sense of responsibility to teach truth, joy and love from your heart? Do you find yourself looking at the world with new wonder right along with them? Do they bring up questions that you’d long forgotten and never had answered?

These beautiful and most natural learning states created in both the one learning and the one who would teach is in us. It supports a readiness to build models of the universe’s things inside our minds.

And notice that in exercising these states we tend to attract truth from lovers of truth who have our best interests at heart. And we tend to lift the spirits of those around us.

This is what I like to call the “naive mind”. Not that it knows nothing or has absolutely no discernment. But that it is the closest to the hardware of our thinking existence. If we were a PC it is our inbuilt operating system. That it is the closest state without spot from infectious beliefs which go against it’s grain.

It is the thirst to know and the spirituality to feel awe and delight at what we find. All other knowledge begins to be built on this beginner software and all beliefs and references can be traced all the way back here.

So…the best software are concepts, preconcepts and beliefs that support this inborn “naive” belief system and work with it, not against it.

The trust that there is a source of truth which loves us and has our best interest at heart, that is greater than us and which has the ability to direct us safely through an awesomely expansive world.

Of course, this doesn’t mean we believe everything everyone tells us, just that there is a source of truth out there which doesn’t lie and actually loves us.

What do you think about this idea? Do you agree? Disagree?

Consider:

What teachings attack the existence and validity of unchanging truth? What global TO family situations have developed and redeveloped in humanity’s existence that assaults our root beliefs (or operating system) that such a beautiful loving source exists?

We must keep asking. We have to keep seeking for truth. Recognize that it is truth that we came into the world expecting to find even though we didn’t find it.

We need to make a search! It’s critical!

For those who respect the Bible, this following example/warning may help my developing thought. For others, it damages the argument. But just try to keep an open mind and please remember that I’ve done a lot of research on this, I just don’t have space/time to prove each point. (So please cut a bit of slack and email me with questions.) But my sincere wish is to help and I’ve felt a deep responsibility to research and think for years on this subject:

When the Roman governor Pilot asked Jesus “what is truth?” do you know what Jesus, a man who reportedly came to reveal truth, said in reply? – John 18:38.

Nothing.

Why? If you read the account you will see that Pontius Pilate was not sincere in his question, that he wasn’t looking for an answer. In fact, he may have been stating a widely held belief…that there is no such thing as unchanging truth. That each person makes their own truth.

Does that belief sound familiar?

Instead of trying to wrestle for the heart of Pilate so that he might see differently Jesus saved his energies for the trial that was before him. Does that tell us something?

Perhaps that this belief that truth is what we make of it is a murky head water of disaster for the natural thinking mind. That even Jesus didn’t see any point in taking such a force on when found in a person deeply reliant on it.

…That the loving sources of truth we may be walking past in this world will not be revealed to those who aren’t looking for them.

But make no mistake, with no real and fixed reference points (truth) we are all ships coming into a night harbor without any lighthouses for guidance. Or worse yet, awaiting us are pirate lighthouses that have been set up to draw us off course and onto the rocks for pillage.

Does that not sound like the world you and I live in? A world of deceit, lie and selfish corruption?

Seek the “naive” mind, the childish knowledge that truth exists and the beliefs that develop it.

Seek until you find, knock until it’s opened, search until you uncover the truth!

P.S. – In the next blog article we’ll talk discuss a riddle that led me to a prime truth.

What is an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor? Part 3

I am finishing this simple definition up. You believe me, don’t you? No, really, this should do it.

And then you can sit and think about it, talk about it, tell others how insightful I am or just that I’m a fruitcake. Whatever. But why don’t you email me? That would be great! I’ll even try to read it! (dan@danlesserinc.com)

I’m on Twitter and you can Facebook me.

Okay, here is…the rest of the story! (Can Paul Harvey sue me? Hope not.)
Warning: there are huge dangers in developing this (intuition) information channel without a highly developed network of spiritual truth. Why?

Because the universe in which we are embedded is like the internet in another way. Of all the minds that are logged on not everyone has good intentions. There are even some superhuman “hackers”.

That is a primary reason that the Hebrew law (found in the Bible) banned the uncanny. It wasn’t banning this field altogether but the traveling into that field blindly and working with unapproved sources.

I find that many different groups seeking signs whether from God or just “the universe” get messages all the time that back up paradigms that are completely nonsensical and not real world applicable without dramatic – or more commonly – very subtle physical, mental, emotional and spiritual damage. This happens over time and most of the time earlier adopted beliefs spin the damage as progress.

The data they receive has obvious structure to me. Therefore, I do believe the Bible’s warnings of malevolent intelligences in the spirit realm working busily and in a goal oriented way for our mass destruction.

I’ve not concluded this lightly nor does it drive me to holler at passersby as I beat a well worn Bible or dress like a vagrant and wear a big piece of cardboard stating something to this effect only spelled incorrectly.

Yes, I do realize that, depending on whatever your current paradigm is in relation to the “strange” and “unexplained” this may sound like nonsensical talk and that I might require the services of an institution with padded rooms and men in white uniforms.

But that is my basic conclusion based on all available data and which fits into all known phenomena that I observe as well as all my other conclusions in all areas of knowledge that I’ve explored so far.

Like chess moves no conclusion/belief exists in a vacuum. Each one effect all of the others even if only slightly.

Therefore, I currently term myself an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor. Instead of an Anchored Cognitive Intuitor.

Allowing the conscious – thinking – mind to manage the flow of information from the bodymind and the universe is key to your very life. How so?

If you take a wrong path you are wasting your time and hence your life. After all you will eventually have to backtrack if you are still alive.

As well you open yourself to potential damages of a dangerous way. Getting damaged means dealing with the baggage and recovery time of living a lie. You can also call it navigating with bad paradigms.

People say “don’t judge!” and this is certainly a great truth. But we need to understand it in light of, you guessed it, other truths. And then, state it in a more defined way so that people don’t non-judge themselves to death!

Really, as the world around us gets more and more complex, as do the problems of humanity, we ought to be making ever more accurate judgments everyday.

What information will I allow myself to view and hear? It will impact our thinking!

What standards will govern who I allow myself to associate with? Our associates control a large portion of our beliefs whether we want to believe it or not.

Some of this sounds complex but it’s really elementary. It should be among the first lessons we are taught (perhaps right after the fact that love is the universal law under which all things belonging in this universe operate).

That way we’ll get the most out of life.

I hope that sheds light on the question! Writing it was certainly helpful for me!

What is an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor? Part 2

In the last article we spoke about the “anchor” part. Below we’ll finish up. Please email me any thoughts, alright? I can’t promise a reply or even that I can get to all of them but I’ll certainly try! And you can find me on Twitter as well (@danlesserinc) and then I won’t be able to ignore you any more (if the block feature isn’t working ;P)

Okay, onward!

Intuition is a description of a faculty of the human transconsciousness. In my studies and experiences I’ve found that our bodies are more then we find in anatomy books. Our entire physical body is our mind, not just our brain. We apparently even store information outside of our physical bodies. Our conscious mind is aware of so little of the galaxy of matter/energy/information that is us. But evidently there is a part of us that is aware of perhaps everything that is us and more…

There are strong indications that we humans are embedded in a matrix of universal connectivity. Like the thoughts and understandings everything is connected and affects everything else.

Yes, your arrival and existence makes a universal impact.

But the point I want to highlight here is that we are embedded in a sort of cosmic internet if you will.

The transconsciousness (after the above description you understand why I toss out the weak term “subconscious”) acts as a buffer for all of this information within and outside us and apparently transmits small parts of the information in a data stream to our conscious minds in a way that we can begin to relate too.

The language that we receive and process this data in is our channels of hearing, smelling, sight, touch, taste and knowing.

This stream of data from the transconsciousness is called intuition.

Everyone has intuition but it’s like meeting a person who doesn’t speak your language and you have no interpreter. Most people – me included – have to really work at building understanding between the two. “Intuitive people” are simply people who took note of this information source whether consciously or unconsciously and began to build an understanding or language between themselves and their transconsciousness. (Many severely mystify this though.)

Those that are less aware of this information source don’t work to understand all the data flowing from it. Thus it becomes a background static like street noise. If you live in a city for very long you tend to really not consciously hear those noises anymore. When undeveloped the transconciousness works intuition with less purpose. Thus it is even less noticeable and more random. It’s kind of like it dreams to us.

That is one aspect of an explanation why people who look for signs see them and others do not.

Now, this stuff is SO cool! Many people even build there lives around it and label it the time they found God or see it as pursuing their spirituality. But there is some warning that I have to write about… (don’t worry, not getting religious on ya.

Read on in the next article! Bookmark me if you have to leave or otherwise make sure you can get back here. I’ll be sitting here waiting…

Yeah.

Right here.

What is an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor? Part 1

I’ve always unwound things to their simplest parts and tried to find out how all parts relate to the whole and how that whole fits into everything else. I mean everything else. To many of my friends this is a bit of an annoyance and I do tend to go a bit overboard sometimes.

Early in life, physics became an exciting science for me. Like all of you I was a physicist from infancy. What is that? How does it work? Why is the sky blue? Why does it get other colors? Why is the grass green? Where does food go when I eat it and why does it come out all nasty? Yeah, we were naturally honest, right?

Quantum physics is especially exciting! To be able to go further in breaking down everything into even smaller parts.

Yes, physics is basically the study of everything physical. And everything is physical. Even the metaphorical and the spiritual. At least from a certain standpoint.

Well, I quickly adopted the belief that my understandings are always going to be changing as I learn. This is because anything affects everything. And I’m constantly learning more about it.

However, I would find that understandings would many times get less accurate instead of improve!

That was a huge insight. Like you, I don’t want to be using faulty understandings in my path through life. So how could I make sure that my understandings improve instead of degrade?

I began to realize that the consequences of the fact that everything in this universe is related to everything else.

Nothing in this universe EVER really contradicts anything else.

That is wonderful news! How so? Because when you find something that doesn’t fit you can know that you are using a faulty paradigm (a mental model of whatever you are trying to understand) or you aren’t perceiving it correctly…

…and so you are heading for a breakthrough into new understanding!

But what I really found useful are certain aspects of the “everything” that do not change. These are laws of the universe. There are physical laws (i.e. gravity), spiritual laws, moral laws…these are unchanging landmarks by which to build understandings on. By which to safely navigate by.

You can also call them truth. And in the ever moving, always changing universe this is what I use as a collective…

Anchor.

It’s like we are on earth and thinking the earth is flat. Finally we gain a new truth. The earth is round! Oh my! This puts us on the trail of many more truths.

Eventually, we are able to put satellites in space and now we have a network grid by which incredibly accurate navigation is possible!

Think of each item of truth as one of these satellites. Together one truth helps. But more and more and more of them allow you to navigate more and more areas of…well, everything…with ever more wisdom and accuracy.

Okay, now that you know what I refer to by “anchored” on we go in the next article! I didn’t want you to get overwhelmed. And if you have to come back to read the rest, eh, that okay!

Like Motel 6 says, “we’ll leave the light on for you!”

AIC – Twitterized

I’ve gotten plenty of great feedback so far on my blog, thanks to you! A few, though, have asked, ‘can you nutshell it for me’. What!!! Shorter than three posts!? Oh…well…

…ohhhh-kay!

I guess you just want a miroblog of it, eh? 140 characters or less? What is an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor?

[Grumbling under my voice...] What’s this world coming too, people can’t read a bit more’n a couple of sentences without getting crosseyed…

OKAY!!!

BUT, please return after you read this and mull over the larger definition…when you have the time and you feel inclined to give it some thought. I know you’ll have some intelligent feedback for me!

Obviously not after coming back from a party early Saturday morning when you can’t see straight. Cuz then you send me stupid messages like, “whaz’it..whatz.. this, anchered tuitive nonsenz? You’on’t… u’don’t making senz, man! Can’t unearthstan!”

Yup. Pick a time when you’re running on all cylinders, okay?

…So here is my twitter-type definition of an Anchored Intuitive Cognitor:

“Seeker&lover of laws/truth, fights doctrines “we know!“&”we never will know!”NOT title4elite, but label 4 homo sapiens 2 live up 2, “thinker”!”

How was that? And how about this one…

“An Anchored Intuitive Cognitor is an investigator & a champion of the existence & priceless value of truth!”

Once again, thanks for reading…please comment on this at my facebook profile, or email me or just message me in facebook itself. Whatever. I’m looking forward to your feedback! It even helps me write!

Keep in mind that love is the most powerful universal constant, so shine yours on someone today! A little can live forever.

Welcome to a Blog on Truth

A lot of what you will read will be enjoyable but will not be light reading. Truth is like…mathematics. Ooo! Don’t navigate away you math haters! I just mean…

One plus one always equals…lemme think. Ah, yes! Two! [Patting self on the back. ]

But then you can build on that! Subtraction, multiplication, division, integers, fractions, decimals, algebra, etc. You were waiting for the “etc” weren’t you? Lol!

The simple things are always relevant. But if we don’t understand simple truths we can’t understand the rest. It’s Greek to us! Therein lies the problem. Because the simplest truths are foggy to the world at large…

We live in a world where “truth” is becoming more and more a self centered or even a completely foreign concept…

Where right is wrong and wrong is right,
Where night is day and day is night,
Where lost is fine and found is downed,

…we have to just stop and sit down for a good long moment and say…

“Hey wait a second! Where are we going with this? What gives!…”

“…and just what is ‘truth?!’”

That is what I hope you find here. A nice place to get out of the information overload and just think deeply on a few important concepts.

So pick up your favorite beverage, put your thinking caps on and let the juices flow!

And please don’t come here always looking for a laugh, although I’m good for that sometimes, according to a lot of people I know. Instead come because you want to hear some thoughts about truth…

…and maybe even because you wish to respectfully and thoughtfully share in a discussion or two along the way!

Yes, your comments are welcome!

I’ve taken a couple of weeks to find out how people would speak to me about the blog and learn how I could make sure that nothing nasty is placed on this blog, which I feel is my responsibility.

I also didn’t want to have to trudge through comment after comment and read/sort garbage (profanity and such) myself just to post the okay ones. But I found that everybody so far has been wonderful. I’ve received personal opinions, suggestions, blog praise/tips and counsel.

I’ve made it so that you can offer comments if you are following this blog. Of course anyone is welcomed to follow and therefore comment but this way if anyone somehow gets offensive I can protect everyone easily from this by removing them. I’ll never do this to stifle opinions, even ones contrary to my own. Only to keep out downright filthy speech and personal assaults. Let’s just all be nice and everything will be fine, eh?

I will now quote Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan, [clearing throat]:

“Be excellent to each other!” and “party on, dude!”

Lol! Love those guys.

I would like to invite you to follow me on Twitter. I’ll follow you back the first chance I get and read your tweets when able! (I don’t always tweet profound stuff on Twitter as I am a goofball (is it goofball or goof ball?) at times. I’m also learning internet marketing and one of these days I’m going to make a sale on purpose. So I may start to have some commercial type twittery.)

I’m also on Facebook and I invite you to join me there where we can actually find out more about each other without a “fail whale”. And I hope someday soon people will read this post and wonder what a “fail whale” is!

And for them I’ll say that a long time ago on a site called Twitter, the thing was always freezing up and making mistakes, although we loved it anyway. And on the fail page was a whale that said “too many tweets! Try back again!” Yes, it was a love hate relationship…

[taking a second to regain composure and let the blood veins in my forehead recede]

[deep breath]

…that we had with Twitter…but now everything is sooo different and [baby talk] we jest luv it so much!!! Yes we doooo!!!

What about commercialism here? Truth should be free so you’ll never find any money related links from me in the blogs and I’d appreciate that you keep them out of here too. You can take the conversations to Twitter or Facebook or wherever when you start talking about products that you are marketing, kay? Thank-you!

Again: WELCOME! And ENJOY!
