You are welcome Sheila and “Peace be to you also”.

I want to make one more post here. This is in respect to Pierre’s comment on U-Tube (and elsewhere ) re Mark 12:31

The modern Cristian Bibles the “Love thy neighbour…..” but the Christian mystic Dr Stylianos Atteshlis ( aka Daskalos ) who was very knowledgable of the Greek and Aramaic languages of Joshua Emanuel the Christ which was the language he used to teach with ) points out ( full quote below ) Christos did not say “Love thy neighbour…….” he said “love every other fellow-man as your own self, ” Not less!

Here is the Daskalos quote from 1992 08 31

The commandment of the Godman, Joshua Emmanuel the Christ, was, “Love God, with all your mind and all your heart and love every other fellow-man as your own self, not less.”

Now, Joshua Emmanuel the Christ was preaching in Greek language of that time. What He said is,

“Arapisis kyrios o theosofu exstolisti the aniasu geexstolisti cardiasu, gedon blissionsu osson aftosu.”

He used the word “blission” which is not neighbor. It is mistranslated.

And, “your neighbor as yourself” is also mistranslated. Neighbor is “yidon” and not “blission”.

Christos said, “love every other fellow-man as your own self, ” Not less then that!

So We should have in our minds certain mistakes which were maybe inevitable in translating the Greek language of that time.

Just want to make sure that all who are wanting to become better connected to Pierre Pradervan’s brilliance are aware of his website and latest “Blessings 365”

Brother David’s focus on the material body and its incredible functioning, all so that it can be a suitable home for the Spirit-Soul, is dear to me.

As a Essene Christian I am well aware that the Archangels Raphael, Michael, Gabrael, Urial, all work in coordination and ( with the material provided by Shamael ) to make this miracle happen even thou most humans never give it a second thought! And the orthodox sciences can’t claim to know !% of the mystery and yet the masters, such as Joshua Emanuel the Christ, of materialization and de-materialization of this “body” have proven, again and again, that it is within the Divine Plan that all Human Beings are able to do as they demonstrated.

What a BIG surprise it will be when children in the future will be told by their teachers that at one time in the past humans had lost touch with their abilities and had to be reminded that there physical bodies can be materialized completely by themselves and that the Archangels, the Lords of the Elements, are within them, should they require assistance!

On a more sober note.

Another point to consider wrt the functioning of the human body is the ‘Breath’. It is common practice among ‘New Age’ systems to promote ‘Breathing practices’. This is a promising sign but how many actually know much about what is involved?

Again, as an Essene Christian it is my duty to be aware that each breath involves 0.9 litres of blood coming into contact with 70 square metres of lung area. This was a big surprise to me to become aware of that for the first time! Just trying to visualize that cause a surprise that …or, as it is commonly said ….”took my breath away”.

It is not by just rejecting the present circumstances and conditions of your life, but – by studying them, correcting them, that you’ll go forward. Nothing to abandon and reject. Start knowing what it is, free yourselves from the influences of everything around you, never undervaluing anything and never overvaluing anything – using the Mind in a reasonable way.”

This approach to life is the greatest form of Gratitude possible because it is giving Thanks and respect to the Gift of Self Awareness!

One comment

I hope this isn’t promoting “eye gazing” that New Age practice which Apocalyptic cults are employing to gain control over their followers?

Just to be clear here, the “eye” when referred to in what is now called “Sufism” ( they also refer to it as “inner eye” and “organ of light ” and is that “eye” which Joshua Emanuel the Christ referenced when he said, “When Thine eye be single Thy whole body is full of light” Matt 6:22

That “eye” is the same “eye” Corbin detailed extensively in Iranian Sufism ( his “Man of Light” )

START QUOTE ……And thus we shall remember also the words of an ancient mystic that I would paraphrase as follows:

If the eye were not by nature solar,
How should we be able to look at the light?
If God’s own power did not live in us,
How would the divine be able to carry us off in ecstasy?”

and

The eye [writes Goethe], owes its existence to light. From auxiliary, sensory apparatus, animal and neutral, light has called forth, produced for itself, an organ like unto itself; thus the eye was formed by light, of light and for light, so that the inner might come in contact with the outer light. At this very point we are reminded of the ancient lonian School, which never ceased to repeat, giving it capital importance, that like is only known by like.

Dear Carol

wrt your “I was reminded that compassion means “to be with.” I decided that compassion for that tiny creature might have made a big difference.”

You are so right when you say “to be with” and as an Essene Christian ( and the importance of Easter arriving again soon ) I wish to share a point made by Joshua Emmanuel the Christ.

As a Human Beings we are Archangel by right. When we wish to communicate with each other and / or / nature and all it creatures….we have to consciously communicate on that Archangelic level. Then, as is the case with your little, ( now forever little friend ), bird, by first communicating with the Archangelic beings who supervise and maintain them we will establish the Archangelic to Archangelic “connection”.

And please make no mistake, you did do that, perhaps you just were not aware of i., That sets compassion flowing. That “flow” ( of etheric vitality we often call “love”) was then passed on to the little bird from its Archangelic supervisors, and, as is always the case, it just takes a little while for the bird’s physical body to replenish its etheric vitality safely, thereby calming it so it can make good judgement and off it goes.

And again you are now, through your act of compassion, well connected to the Archangels of that little bird, and indeed all birds. A connection to be enjoyed as you wish!

Dear Laura::

Respecting your, “I’m talking about communication that fosters understanding. ” I wish to add one point.

There is a fundamental Divine Law which applies to all that we Humans do to each other…it goes by various phrases ….”As you give so shall you receive”, …….and my preference …”Blessings and curses come home to roost” ….. as two examples.

But there is an additional point to this “giving and the receiving back” which is not given enough openly discussed attention. The receiving back comes with an automatic modifier of 7 to 10 time more then the original “giving’. And there is no escaping this fact. It seems that Divine Wisdom knew full well the laziness of humanities egoism, ( but then how could it not? Human’s Egoism IS part of its Divine Design too! ) just to be sure that Love’s graces are o’so obvious.

Great article! I will recommend it to the universe and finish off with a “no name sign off” and a Sufi axiom which never gets old.

“Don’t say “Thank You” say “Thank Us”, because all we truly ever have is Each Other”.

Dear Terry

If timing means something it is of significance that your American President is holding a meeting to-day to discuss “Video game violence”. Specifically, its relation to ‘gun violence in USA’ As I understand it right now the scope of this meeting does not include Hollywood / TV / movie “entertainment” ‘?” industry. But at least it is a potential start, a “the first of many” so the news report says.

I see this as positive in that so many “experts”, including law enforcement in USA, are calling the idea of Video game contributing to gun violence, “Silly”. I feel that type of understanding to be but one of many frighteningly attitudes of the true nature of consciousness.

It will be of interest to read / hear / your opinion on this subject is. Myself I am preparing for seven level depth study of Yohannan the Evangelist’s ‘Revelations’ on the Island of Patmos itself. No better time then now to understand this very important (and much maligned) work of this great, great, Saint because it is a working model of human consciousness. Clear understanding of ‘Revolations’ would be a powerful “Yes” ( as you put it in your article about) step forward towards understanding our human , unconsciously created, problems once and for all.

Good Luck with your book.

Whatever you do …do not miss out on the video titled “Simplicity” provide at the bottom of this link’s page. It is pure Grace flow into Humanity’s ears. So very much need to be heard and throughly digested by all capable of “He who has ears to hear… let them hear”
It is a perfect reflection Plotinus’ words on Soul, simple living and Self-suficiency …as quoted here but out of Cosmic Consciousness By W. Bucke

The wise man recognizes the idea of the good within him. This he develops by withdrawal into the holy place of his own soul. He who does not understand how the soul contains the beautiful within itself, seeks to realize beauty without by laborious production. His aim should rather be to concentrate and simplify, and so to expand his being; instead of going out into the manifold, to forsake it for the One, and so to float upwards towards the divine fount of being whose stream flows within him.

Hi Saoirse

I trust you and yours are well.

Yes I focus on those two in particular because Yates, in his, “My body of a sudden blazed” is clear clear recognition / documentation / of when “keeping of grace” or “blessing” can be so strong and powerful that it Lights-up the Etheric double of our material body to a level at which the ‘third eye’ ( so-called any way ) can see it.

Yates would never elaborate on this, lighting – up, he had the Church authorities after him all the time as it was with his wonderful “Crazy Jane” poem. 🙂 But it is a fact full support by Early christians and Sufis alike. For example……

RUMI’s : “Be like melting snow, wash your self with your self”.

Hi Carol
I posted the link you requested, along with my transcript of “Simplicity” but the system responded with ” non-valid video link” ( And it would let me delete it either ) So I am trying it again BUT a slightly modified link address….. if it doesn’t connect up ..please search the “gratefulness.org” site under …”resource”……and “simplicity-blessing”

Hope this works ……Please confirm

Transcript of ‘Simplicity’ by Pierre Pradervand >>>> DRAFT ONLY <<<<

START

Well, I think that the concern of simplicity in my life is one of my oldest concerns. And as a matter of fact I think in my whole adult life I have been concerned with the issue of simplicity because it has a lot to do with un-cluttering. Our lives are so cluttered up in the West, with activities with things, books, with encounters, with traveling here and there, a 1001 things. Everybody understands what I'm speaking about.And I think it is difficult to tread the spiritual path if you do not simplify your life down to a few essentials. You can not have 50,000 activities and pursue the spiritual path. At least I do not think it is possible. I wrote the first two books published in Europe, in French, on simple living 20 years ago when it wasn't a concern for anyone. But now it is beginning, beginning!, to become a concern for a certain number of people.And so with the un-cluttering of your life you have more space for blessing. But at the same time if you do a lot of blessings you will automatically want to unclutter your life because it will become so clear to you that all this clutter we have is such a detriment to our true spiritual growth. And I think there are privileged experiences which enable you to understand that, sooner or later, you must put first things first in your life. And I like to share here what is probably the most powerful spiritual experience of my whole life. no not probably, it is certainly the most powerful experience in my whole life and on which my whole spiritual outlook is based. [2;48]
I was in Africa, this was over 20 years ago, when I was attending the meeting, the General assembly of a peasant farmer organization of which I was one of the founding members. And the last day of our meetings which were held in a city called [ name unclear ] I caught dysentery. Now at the beginning it's not something serious but it is a bother because you have to run a great deal to the toilet. And I did my spiritual work, I didn't take any pills because at that time I handled all my health issues spiritually, and I thought that it had disappeared, at least it did dissipate towards the end of the afternoon. I went off with an old African friend. The next day when I went to the airport, it started all over again. And on the airplanes back to Paris I was traveling with my spiritual text, my readings, my prayers, my mantras and affirmations, all the things I usually did try to overcome any health issues. [4:10]And I was sitting next to an unaccompanied young boy, and the stewardess who is taking care of this little boy was so kind with him! She constantly came to check on him to see if he was okay and one woman she came and addressed him with a special tenderness. And suddenly I felt this most incredible gratitude for this woman, it was a Cosmic Gratitude that overwhelm me. And suddenly I was projected into a space outside the plane, outside of time, where the only thing present was Infinite Love. The only feeling I had was that of incredible Love. A love which is the cause, the effect, the source, the only power, the only presence. The only activity in the universe was his extraordinary, extraordinary, Love. [5:25]
But the most amazing thing in the whole experience was that Pierre Pradervand had totally disappeared. I had no consciousness whatsoever! There is no such thing as a citizen, with an ego or whatever. The only consciousness was, for certain while, I don't know how long because I was outside of time, only consciousness was the Divine consciousness. [5:57]
An American 19th century thinker and metaphysician, mary [ name ] … Once stated that “the divine understanding ray is all and there is no other consciousness”. Well that is exactly what I experienced at that moment on the plane. The Divine consciousness was my consciousness. And of course it is the most incredible feeling of freedom! The only time I have felt radical freedom in my life because my ego had simply and totally disappeared. [6:42] And suddenly, I was back on the plane, I felt something adjusting in my bowels and in matter of seconds I was freed of the dysentery. [6;52]
But the real healing wasn't the physical healing, the real healing was my vision of life, of the world, of the universe. And that has stayed as the foundation stone of my spiritual striving. I think we are all, ALL, called to the state I were our only thought will be Love. And of course I am still very much, very in the kindergarten of this practice. But I think it is, for me today, I see this is the Ultimate State which I need to aim for on the spiritual path. [7:44]
And so blessing is just one expression of this Universal Love. But at the same time, by practicing blessing, you learn to grow a great deal in love. Especially in non-judgment and I would like to stress that. It is impossible, the text on blessing said, it is impossible to love, to bless and to judge at the same time. It is impossible to bless and to Judge . Try it, is it possible. [8:27]
And the more you bless, the less you will judge. I think one of the most precious insights I have had in past years is that every single person, that includes president Asad of Syria and well known gangsters all sorts, everyone, at each moment, is at their highest level of consciousness. [9:03]
And when you have really understood this you cannot feel resentment, or anger, with anyone.Joel S. Goldsmith, that remarkable American mystic of the last century who created teaching called, "The Infinite Way". Joel says, “no one can come into my consciousness who needs be forgiven, because I have already forgiven them, 70×7”. And I feel that what I felt towards the gentleman who tricked me with the Internet, when I first started out our conversation, I realize to that was his highest level of consciousness. So I can resent him for being at his highest level of consciousness, if he could have been elsewhere he would have been. And to understand this [fact] is a wonderful, wonderful, tool for overcoming resentment in any form. [10:23]
So, that is my small wisdom on the topic.

Hi again Carol

I just want to touch back to you again and recommend a previous submission which, in essence, is very similar in importance to yours.

The piece I am referring to is Pierre Pardervand’s “The Art of Blessing”. ( approx. 8 articles back ) What, Blessing and Compassion have in common is that is is the focusing down to the very basis ( that which Pierre call “simplifying” ) potential consciousness power of one’s Human Being-ness.

We Essenes, and our Sufi brothers, call this “concentration”, ( but not the concentration taught in western school systems), it is ” focused Attention without tension”. It is this “focusing” of Human consciousness which brings ‘Archangel to Archangel’ communication together and there is no doubt about it, this communication is instantaneous and there is no limits to it power.

Be Well Be Present

Dear Saoirse and all responders here.

Just a quick touch back response to all here. It is always a privileged blessing when one comes across consciousness beings such as Pierre Pradervand and his shared insights and experiences. That one was very specific to what the Sufis call “BARAKA” ( rough translation, “Lightening rod ). In Essene Christian terms it is Divine Grace / Holy Spirit / as it flows and manifests through a clear and pure human heart.

To all the “Thank You EdS” I have to respond (as I always do) with the Sufi adage “O’no! It is not Thank You ….It is “Thank Us, because all we Truly have, as human beings, is each other!”

I also want to post another of Pierre’s fiend’s insights here because it is so appropriate to all the discussions happening in Western news culture at this time.

Start Quote:

“As a friend once told me,

“At the bottom of the worst criminal lies a daughter or son of the creator ignorant of their Divine origin. Only love enables a person who feels at fault, or on the contrary, was totally convinced of the rightness of their position, to change it. When one is on the defensive, it is very difficult to modify one’s point of view, for one only thinks in terms of survival – be it the survival of the little ego or of some material privilege.” End Quote

Yes
I just don’t like to ref to ref u-tube

I have also prep’d a DRAFT transcript so it can be translated and shared in Germany, Korea and Japan which have large Researcher of Truth group activity.

and in the comment I made above I pointed to Agape Love ( Love between Mother and offspring ) is alway TRUE ..and again Agape Love is beyond duality. Of course it is action, action beyond intellectual comprehension …Any mother can and will demonstrate enormous strength ( a direct injection of Holy Spirit strength ) to protect her offspring. Again Agape is a classification of “Non-reflected” Love, the type of love more commonly called “Unconditional” in new are Spiritualism but due to miss use the word Unconditional carries an underlying tone of dependency with it….were as, “Non-refeleted” stays right to the point. It is fully contained in “Ones-ness” and complete Self-sufficiency.
