Aspects of the Hebrew Way

My Story of Discovering Celebrations

I have been on a journey and I am beginning to see why...

In 2001, after 12 weeks of bed-rest and 2 months of recovering postpartum, I had a profound spiritual experience which altered my life. I began reading, researching and learning like I have ever done before. Plant & herbs books, storage guides, cooking books, etc.

A sample of the books which started my natural learning.

I began gathering whole grains, seeds and other supplies and learned to cook with them! I made concoctions like Echinacea Glycerites & Super Tonic my Aunt Marie showed me. My insatiable desire to learn only increased. It grew into areas of nurturing, relationships, parenting, music, education, history, governments, mathematics, sciences, biographies, language, etc.

My insatiable desire to learn only increased.

By 2008, I felt more complete as I was now cooking with alternate grains to avoid our problems with wheat, gluten, gmo's and dairy. I had even began learning how to make winter camping pants and acquired a few necessities such as water filters, hand grinders, etc.

In 2009, God started leading me down another road. I awoke one morning with the words The Hebrew Way with a triangle. (I am a very visionary learner.) I held a woman's retreat, had another child, started this blog, gathered the readings here and then began classes. (That year I also went on a Vision Walk with my friend Jodi and I saw myself inserting a key into people's hearts which symbolically has to do with what I am specifically called to do.) I was lead to study symbolic Hebrew which has increased my ability to interpret the scriptures from a symbolic ancient perspective, as well as my vision and dreams :) And I have created a program teaching it to mothers and the husbands who want to join along. (Search here for Foundation Builder Guide or Here)

Finding The Pilgrim's Course and Symbolic learning.

One of the major connections or epiphanies I have made over these years is that all the cultures around the world, have similar patterns in their Celebrations: clothing, color, singing, dance, family events, food ~ and when they gather for their Festivals, they all share their cultural STORIES.

One of the things I was taught by a wonderful friend Mentor on this journey, was that after Adam and Eve left the garden, they gathered each year with their families to share the Creation story. These gatherings and teachings have been spread over all the cultures down from prophets & scriptures, and into fairy tales, myths and sagas sharing elements of these original stories and gatherings. (Thank you Kelli for teaching me:) This has lead me to ask myself?? What of our culture?? Where do we in America celebrate our stories?? Of course, we have scriptures and powerful teachers guiding us in our congregations. We can see youth are celebrating Our Story during re-enactments or Temple Celebrations. Why not whole families? Thankfully, some of us celebrate our story of freedom during Independence day. What are the other parts of our culture which needs celebrating?

Well, after filing these observations, question's and wondering's in the back of my mind over the years, creating a class around the Principles of Creation and providing healing environments through the arts for women and learning from history that it is through the art’s that a culture survives -- bondage, turmoil and loss (all random things!!!), it all came together last in March 2014 into a beautiful proposition and epiphany! Could we be entering a time as other cultures around the world experienced? A downfall of American life as we know it? Will we be experiencing such great need that we must cling to our healing arts and Our Story to lift and preserve us?

Regardless of if these things happen, I have decided that my journey has brought me to this today and I will proceed to fulfill this dream of my heart.

So, while we are preparing for times such as these or not, I proposed we all begin incorporating the healing environments which will keep us (our mind, body, heart and spirit) whole, healthy and joyful in whatever future we face!

I also propose that we who are remnants of Israel right here in America begin telling Our Universal Pilgrim's Story through America's cultural dance, Storytelling, Singing, Fiddling, Healing Resources, Quilting Circles, Family Research, Materials of Creation like: Whole & Cultured foods, Plants, Paint, Twine, Wood, Sounds, Breathe, etc. and Music & other songs reminding us of Our Story. (For those who already are, I applaud you!)

Come JOIN many families and I in Celebrating -- Our Universal Story -- on Friday September 23rd 2016! Theme: Our Journey Home!

This year marks a 50th yr. Jubilee on the Jewish Calendar and we are joining in on the year of Celebration!! It is my hope to help unite, connect and strengthen the families in our neighborhood and help us begin celebrating like all the other cultures around the world who I believe are remnants of Israel with their own stories. (One day I'm excited to hear more of them.)

The Hebrew Way & Lifestyle

To live a true and honest faith-filled, whole and abundant life, is to live life in the Hebrew Way. Here are some truths I have found about this lifestyle:

1. Be Loving the Lord Your God, not mammon.

When we put God first, life begins to make sense. Order and beauty replace chaos, love and humility replace fear and pride.

When I first put this principle into practice, my life had no direction. I was just there. I had just moved across the country to begin college and I did not think much about my purpose or who I was. Then, a desire grew to fit in to this new world to which I had traveled. Then, everything changed for better and best. After I starting putting God first, I began to have inner desires to love and serve those around me. The fears I had of fitting-in left and soon I had created a little piece of heaven in my apartment and community. It was a glorious contrast.

2. Be Virtue and Light, not living your life with vice and darkness.

To be virtue and light is to be who you were made to be. For the most part, God made our bodies and minds with a strength and acting power like His. With full control over our mind, body and will. Why do we expect anything different for our entire lives? Is it normal to hit a point where we can't walk, run, remember, think, eat, or breathe? I plan on living until one day, I enter a new door, whether that is still here on this Earth in spirit or physically is yet to be determined. There is no reason I cannot keep walking, running, remembering and thinking. I have heard this saying, "You are what you eat." How about all of it? "You are what you eat, see, read, watch, hear or think."

The 1828 definition of virtue is:

strength; that substance or quality of physical bodies, by which they act and produce on other bodies

moral goodness; the practice of moral duties and the abstaining from vice or a conformity of life and conversation to the moral law

It is our virtue to act in the way our True Self was created to act. That may mean doing hard things like overcoming addictions with sugars or processed foods, useless wasting of time, speaking when we should not, watching shows, playing games, desiring material things, etc, but we are beings of Light and we can choose. Whatever area we are playing and learning in, we have the tools within to overcome our Human Nature and live our Divine (& Light) Nature.

Just say, "No" to the dark and negative thoughts. Say "No way," and replace it with Virtuous thoughts, Positive Words, Light and The Word.

3. Be True and Faithful, not living in self-deception and fear.

Are you honest in all your dealings with your self, God and others? This is a question I am

asked frequently to be able to enter my Holy Temple. Each time I reflect on the depth of that question. I always want to answer in the completely honest way. I am really trying to be!

There is an affirmation I learned from Primary School while teaching my children in devotional:

I am honest with Heavenly Father, others and myself.

One morning, this phrase hit me like a rod of lightning. I wondered what this really meant? Completely, not just "yeah, yeah" kind-of stuff. I sought understanding for months to really understood this phrase. Was I really honest with my Heavenly Father, others and myself? (Try asking for yourself. You may learn something new.) There are books and whole organizations teaching this one simple and very important principle. One of my favorites is Leadership and Self-deception by The Arbinger Institute. This truth is worth years of study and yes, sometimes it takes that long to understand this principle. Being True and honest is a daily pursuit. No worries, God is very patience with our awakening.

Being faithful is another one of those phrases that tend to glide right by our consciousness.

We sometimes associate it with our religion or church instead of what it is: Living and acting void of fear. Do we make decision with our children, jobs or other stewardships based on avoiding the pain of dealing with whining or the efforts it takes to delegate? If so, we are not making decisions based on faith. The Hebrew Way & Lifestyle is one filled with all things of faith-FUL-ness, vision focused on belief, positiveness and trust. It is fully living in the here and now and not in the future or past. Let's try it more. Be present. Be "in" with your life, today.

My husband and I have recently had the opportunity to take classes from Matt Townsand. The first thing he teaches is "I'm in." He does this to get our higher brain into the game of our relationships and life. We went around the room stating our name and "I'm in." It is a fabulous practice for our daily tasks, our family relationships, our events, classes, education, meetings, etc. If you want more power in your life, live in the present and in Faith.

4. Be Recognizing, Reflecting, Releasing, not scarce.

This is the key to unlocking who you truly are and living The Hebrew Way & Lifestyle. Work hard at becoming truly aware of yourself. It will bring you the most happiness because you will be connected , balanced, grounded and shielded. There are lots of people and events to help walk us through this process. There are even lots of different names for it. (So you know, my Unlocking the Chambers and House Celebrations are ultimately about this and provide the environments and tools to help nurture this.)

There was a boy once who thought he knew what was best for him. He wanted what everyone else had and he wanted it now. He asked for his inheritance and went off to live "the life." He enjoyed what he though he really wanted, then it happened. Like they always eventually do, the times turned, his money ran out, and his relationships spent, he found himself sleeping with the pigs and starving. When he awoke to this reality, he recognized himself. He reflected: He had desired this. He had been impatient. He had been self-fish and unwise. He had chosen to leave the comforts of his Father's house. He was without comfort and in pain. "How could he have been so hasty?" he wondered. "His father and brother had all comforts back home, but why would my Father ever take me back?"

This boy came to himself and determined to try to make amends with his Father.

Coming to ourselves is a huge process. It involves recognizing, reflecting and feeling the pain of choices, situations, and life. Then comes the process of releasing. It is complex and very simple. Releasing should be the continual goal of our entire life.

I know releasing our emotional hurts, pains and burdens is one of the ultimate purposes of the life of our brother Jesus Christ. All things in the universe truly manifest this. In the record of Nephi it says, "All things denote there is a God." When your living The Hebrew Way & Lifestyle, you know it's true.

There is not a scarcity of freedom, love and gifts, physical and spiritual blessings when we recognize, reflect and release our stuff to Christ. Write it all down and burn it. There will be more than you can ever receive coming back to you when you do. I know it.

5. Be Restoring your True Self, and not the world's definition for your life.

Do everything you can to come to know your God and He will show you who you are. It's that simple. Then all you have to do is embrace it and work hard to refine areas you know, from your conscience, need refining. I have full confidence our Creator will guide and teach you. It's His way.

6. Be Connected to God, Family and Truth daily, not living in ignorance.

Live a life that is continuously connected. If there are contradictions between your behavior and ideals, between the life you live day-to-day and what you know you should be doing with your time or between what this expert says and what you feel, re-align your beliefs or actions. Get real and informed instead of never addressing it. Ignorance can only last for so long. You might as well live the connected life you were made for now.

It is so fun to make true connections with who I am and why I am here. It is so fun for me because I am connecting to Divine guidance. Life is better when I awake with solutions to my problems and my mind is clear and active because I am in control of it!

7. Be Protecting of God-given Agency, not creating dependency.

One of the things that bugs me the most, is when I feel I am not given a choice. This feeling quickly helps me to search for my choices. Every time I find them, and oh boy do they bring comfort. There is something within each of us that is driven by freedom. We as Human Beings, Christians, Mothers, Fathers, Mentors, Teachers, Daughters, Sons, and Citizens and Leaders of Nations, have a Godly duty to be protectors of the process each of us need to come to learn truth for ourselves. This especially applies to those in our homes.

Does that mean we go to the extreme and do not give firm direction and boundaries and consequences. Absolutely not! It is our job to STAND with love, faith, confidence and gentleness. We offer the best character building choices and communicate the choice to be happy or not. We use our foresight and faith to see what is best for others in the long run, not the short term, and we act. We promote their general welfare.

In other words, The Hebrew Way & Lifestyle is about freedom. Free yourself and your generations of patterns in which you are carrying and you will be an instrument protecting God-given agency for others.

8. Be Discovering Who You Are & Why You Are Here, not assuming you don't matter to God.

Have you asked God yet? Have you asked him what He wants you to do? Read through some of my posts about this and believe it. Life is not without challenges, but if you walk it with God, it is so much more joyful!!

One of the common assumptions I am challenging is that "you have to be one of those people for God to speak to you." Well... it is true there are Prophets and Enlightened people who speak the Truths of God to us His children. Most of the time, the directions and instructions coming from these holy men will apply to individuals and families on the whole. They will be universal and follow universal principles. Yes, we can get very specific instructions from heeding their words. Believe me, my life has utterly changed because of this. When one person is in Africa and another in Canada, the truths they share will usually be universal and apply to both.

To address this assumption, we must remember there is the Universal and the Specific. What applies to all will apply to the one, but what applies to the one, may not apply to all. God knows all things and provides for us always in all our ways. He guides us as part of the whole and as each individual parts. It's beautiful. Be asking for your individual guidance!

Now, another lie is that "God is too busy to care about my insignificant life." "He doesn't help us when we ask for small problems, only big ones."

It is The Way, The Pilgrim's Course, to be guided on an individual path and journey. It is my experience that when an honest seeker is in need, our Creator answers even the most insignificant prayer. And he usually prepares the heart to receive it. He know us. He knows where our heart is and when it's time and what we truly need. If you are sincerely desiring, ask, I know you shall receive.

There is so much Abundance everywhere. The Hebrew Way & Lifestyle is beauty, order and love. Embrace it fully!

Building Our House

Building our House on foundational principles is the The Hebrew Way.

Foundational Stones of The Tabernacle in Jerusalem

The first question we must ask and answer is: What is this House? To illustrate, let me take you through my experiences of this last week.

On Friday, I received one of those calls which changed the course of my day. It was a friend and colleague and she was asking some really good questions of me about how to help our children build a proper foundation. It drove me to writing. I wrote most of that day to help answer her questions, but mostly, I wrote to clarify the answers in my mind. On Sunday, I was asked to speak in my congregation on practically this same topic. On Wednesday, one of my sons came to me wanting help in writing a paper which was due the next day. He asked me what story or scripture he could use to back up his opinion. I read the question prompt, Compare the leadership of Brutus and Caesar. Which would you follow and why?, and shared how I thought the man Korihor might be a good example to use. Just then, I had a flash of a realization. I realized that if we give ourselves or our children an excellent "education" and their foundation is not built on Christ, on Truth and right thinking, the affects could be disastrous. I knew their character or House must be developed on foundational principles.

Now, Korihor was a man who knew how to speak, persuade and manipulate others to join in his cause. He took power and lead in tyrannical ways. He came into towns and spoke against the peoples religious beliefs. It was as if he once held those beliefs because he took truth and twisted it for his own agenda. He belittled and mocked those people and God. He claimed there was no hope in any Christ, and the only hope was our own genius and strength.

Korihor was preaching a very common agenda we can see today. "Do and Become with your own strength and agenda. And follow me in the meantime. I will be the expert for you to follow. You can perfect yourself. Rely on your own strength." We hear these type of voices whether just in our head or manifested around us. We read in books like Atlas Shrugged principles of reliance on man; the building of the perfect man; the virtues which make man off the hook of accounting for themselves. It is complete narcissism and it's everywhere.

Then, on Thursday, I was in a Board meeting and we were discussing the education we promote and how careful we as parents have to be to guard against this infiltration of base values. My friend is attending a University class and she is re-reading books like Leadership and Self-Deception, Bonds that Make Us Free, etc. She also began reading additional books which helped her make even more connections as they looked at Narcissism. One of the things she shared was about George Washington. According to his "genetic predisposition", he could have classified in the category of a Narcissist. He had all the natural abilities which could have lead to that "perfect man." However, his environment was God-fearing and wholesome which helped develop his whole being on principles of faith and integrity and brought about a sound character education; what today we would consider as a Godly-centered character education. It was this character training which gave him the servant leadership abilities to help lead our nation's original revolution and ensure America did not have a king among many things.

This is our problem today. Narcissism is on the rise and I realized in that quick flash, if we do not build our own or our children's character education or foundation on Christ, on Truth and right thinking, we can easily produce Narcissists. I realize as well, this was most likely coming to me because of the son I was helping at that moment, whose foundation was not as strong as some of my other children, but it is also a universal problem to beware.

The conversation was perfect for me to more fully describe the why behind getting a Godly-character education or developing our education on foundational principles. I do things very often from my heart and do not always have the words to describe how I know they are the right things to do. I have always felt it was right to use my precious time in my home to read and tell stories which teach a high standard of virtues, memorize scriptures & poems of value, sing every song which would teach and nurture the same. My efforts have been spent only towards the best for my children. After this week, I have been gaining the words to describe what I do, which is sometimes the hardest thing to describe, as well as the resolve to be even more deliberate with my time with my children.

A story came to my mind in the midst of all this:

Ralph Moody had recently moved West to Littleton, Colorado with his family in efforts to be ranchers. At his school, with his buster brown suit on, he was tired of being teased and determined to overcome. He spent his recess time showing how he could ride the donkey without getting thrown off. This helped feel more credible. At home, he grew over confident and continued his storytelling. One day, when his Father was gone into town, he told his sister their Father wanted him to bring in the railroad ties that were left in the gulch. His sister didn't believe him. He got home and continued the story with his Mother. She commented something about how on earth Father would want an 8 year old boy to do this work on their new unbroken horse. Ralph worked all day and couldn't even bring one railroad tie out of the gulch. He realized he had better go home and tell his Mother he had lied. Mother had him stand in the corner while she sat at the table and read from the bible until Father got home. When he got home and found out what Ralph had done, we said he would not give Ralph a whipping because he may remember that more. He then said,

"A man's character is like his house. If he tears boards off his house and burns them to keep himself warm and comfortable, his house soon becomes a ruin. If he tells lies to be able to do the things he shouldn't do but wants to, his character will soon become a ruin. A man with a ruined character is a shame on the face of the earth.”

This was what I immediately knew when I saw how I could produce an educated Korihor; Our Character House is Our House and must be developed on solid foundational principles.

Our character is our foundation and needs nurturing to be built on the rock of Christ.

Here are some foundational words speaking about this House:

Ye also as lively stones, are built up a spiritual House, ... to offer up spiritual sacrifices... 1 Peter 2:5

Set in order your own house. Govern your house in meekness and be steadfast. Seek learning even by study and also by faith... to prepare every needful thing and establish a house: a house of prayer, house of fasting, house of faith, house of learning, house of glory, house of order, house of God. D&C 93:43, 31:9, 88:119

How do we build our House? We look to our root system, foundation or to this character which determines what ground we stand upon and how we act, what we do and who we are becoming.

We can follow the principles of Creation and our life will truly be in order.

Principle 1: Put God first in our life.
Principle 2: Develop a Relationship with Him.

We can create these principles within the most essential Environment of God & Family which helps nurture a foundation on Christ!

What can we do in this environment to nurture a desire to know God?

Show by example. Build your own house and show these principles in your life. Put God First in your life. Desire Him. Follow Him. Seek Him. Come to know Him. Believe Him. Search & Observe, Notice & Explore, Ask & Wonder and Share & Teach your findings and discoveries with your family.

Show by precept. Hold family tutorials on the study of the Holy Words of Christ. Sit down together around the kitchen table, open The Book and read one verse at a time. Stop frequently to discuss and ask questions. Read along with a study guide, stopping to read what the commentary has said; read along with an original dictionary like the 1828 Webster's Dictionary or a Bible dictionary. Ask serious questions yourself. Model your curiosity and desire to know more. Be observing. Explore. Notice what you are reading and stop and ask. Take notes and record your discoveries to see your relationship with Christ growing. Then show process of recognizing, reflecting, releasing, reforming and restoring.

Incorporate beautiful music which nourishes the soul. Sing together. Play musical instruments together.

Read the stories of others and discuss their struggles. True stories of others will teach more than we can tell.

Play together

Create together

etc., etc.

Create the environments which will help nurture a sincere desire to put God our Creator first and come to know Him; for ourselves. I promise your good example will set yourself, and your children, on a Course to begin Building Your Houses.

Then, show others how to build their own Godly or Christ-centered character House. For Christ is the rock on which to build everything and every House. He is the beginning and the end. As we build our Houses, our Moral Character Education and personal convictions which lead us to act in virtuous and faithful ways, we will be building Houses unto the Lord.

The House Celebration

We are introducing an entirely new event and tradition! Well, actually it is an old tradition in many ways and we at Houseofthebook.org are renewing it. Cultures from many lands and throughout the years have gathered for Celebrations and Feasts. Possibly the first event like this was when the family of Adam and Eve gathered to share the story of Creation. The people dispersed geographically and eventually their stories were written down by inspired men in the form of scriptures. After many hundreds of years, their stories were gathered and were now in the form of Fairy Tales, Myths, Sagas, etc. There are even symbols of these stories in Shakespeare.

Is it any wonder that cultures around the world all have similarities in their festivals? Dancing, singing, beautiful clothing, family, each telling their stories; of the hunt or their connection with the Creator. Do these cultural celebrations contain remnants of an original celebration?

Gathering family for Celebrations is rather normal. We do it weekly with our story of worshipping Christ through remembering the Words and song, but, do we combine all these elements together into one whole? Are we experiencing it ourselves or just watching it take place?

I propose we begin Celebrating! Celebrating Our Story. Celebrating Song. Celebrating joyful Movement. Singing, Dance and Storytelling combined with Family. One reason why we sing: to remember our stories. One reason we dance - to remember Joy.

There is another benefit - a natural result of this joyful movement is the burdens we carry are more easily released to Christ. Observe it and see if you feel better after you move.

Join us NEXT MARCH 2015 in a Christ-centered Family Celebration!
(Subscribe to the House Newsletter to be notified.)

We are Celebrating Our Story. Our common story and our specific stories. As civilizations rose and fell, the remnants of the culture they left behind were in the form of stories & art. The Power of Story is real. Stories preserve community and family culture. They also can renew an individual's connection with themselves and their importance in this world. Stories are what keep us connected together in our churches, families & communities. And, no matter what communities we come from, we all share the story of Creation & the Creator.

We are Celebrating Song. Did you know that a culture of singing is what freed the entire nation of Estonia? After Stalin took over the Baltic States in 1939/1940, the people lost their freedom to celebrate their identity. After 50 years, they began gathering to sing their cultural songs. This gave them more and more courage to stand against their oppressors and grew to a point where they stood, hand-in-hand, in 1991, against the tanks, singing. The world saw this on the news and it was the first time we understood what had been happening those 50 years after WWII. Singing is powerful!! And through a simple song, we can learn a powerful message. We often sing hymns and those hymns encourage and uplift us. For this Celebration, we, the audience, will be singing a few beautiful folk songs.

We are Celebrating Joyful Movement. Did you ever notice that each culture around the world includes dance as a part of their festivals? Have you ever wondered why? Did you know movement is a strong need of the body and even helps us release negative emotions to Christ? Think about it. Running is great to do when we have to let-off steam. Walking may help us think. Yoga and breathing helps us to calm the chatter in our minds. There are many studies and research showing the benefits of movement. Now, did you also know the Jewish culture enjoys a dance at their wedding feasts? This tradition goes back anciently, and I believe has something to do with the word feast, which means, to gather in a circle and dance. Interesting huh?

Did you know America's cultural dancing is patterned after these circle dances? They are called Contra Dancing. What is Contra Dancing? Contra Dancing is when a "caller" give us the directions & instructions of where to move on the floor. The shapes of the movements are usually in circles. Similar to "Square" Dancing, but there are the set patterns are much easier so everyone can join in without knowing anything! Our Caller will give instructions. Yeah!

I was able to enjoy Contra Dancing for the first time this past summer and I realized it has been around in America's history since the beginning. Another name is New England Dancing and it is similar to the Jane Austin movies dancing style. I could see how it is easy to learn for most ages and encourages laughter and delight! AND, that bringing these environments together to enjoy movement with the entire family will keep us healthy, connected with our Creator and joyful. And it's Fun!!

Check out this Doug Plummer's photographic journey of joy unconfined through Contra dancing to see the style of dance.

We will also have hoop dancing on the lawn, painting, fabric and paper activities for additional things to do.

Only $5 until Thursday and $10 at the event. REGISTER HERE!!!

By the way, this is all a part of the Hebrew Way.

Celebrate Today,

Our Story: In Honor of Creation

Published July 14, 2014 on houseofthebook.org

Our Story

Once Upon a Dimension not far from here, there was an Artist, a Master Artist. This Master Artist was a dreamer and wonderer. He had learned and mastered all the Principles of the Universe and the organic Environments & Materials, which produced nurturing and growth which all Artists have the ability to master. His favorite thing to do was to wonder about things. He wondered and wondered and he noticed, explored, asked questions and more questions, and observed more, until he could see an image in his mind. Then he would go and create it with his hands. He learned the precise the combination of these certain Principles, Environments & Materials, created a beauty and flow which acted as a key. The Master Artist used this key to Unlock the Chambers of all Creations.

The first image he wondered about, explored with, asked himself about was a sphere. When the image came to his mind, he began to shape, mold and form it. One form. One space. one day. Uniting all principles into one. He called it Earth.

The second image he observed, explored and asked about was a division of the sphere into 2 halves. When he saw it he created it. Two spaces within one, each balancing the other. Water and land.

Next came many questions. He saw three's and triangles. How could...? What about...? Ahah!! Three lights came to be. Extending light to all.

Crossing the entire area, he scanned and found another pattern. From noticing 4 areas over the expanse, he was inspired to form four courners - reaching over encompassing the entire.

He took a deep life filling breath, and found hope and discovered his hands. Five. Is there a pattern here? he asked himself. He noticed and formed a pentagon. Five points. Five steps.

Oh! He made a connection after wondering and wondering about his hand. This Master Artist added principles of the Six to his work. He worked all night long and by morning, he had made a new artist in his own image. And another. These new artists, began filling up the Earth. They made new ones, and the new ones made new ones. And do you know what they loved to do? Dream, wonder and discover. And to use the Principles of the Universe, the Organic Environments & Materials which brought beauty and wholeness. He called these new artist his children. They called him their Creator.

Lastly, The Master Artist rested. He knew what he had made was good. Seven for Rest and Rejuvenation. A space was created for feasting unto completeness. A feast of a spiritual realm.

Yes, the sun shown bright and beautiful, then the clouds came and cast vicious shadows on the light. These artists had dual Natures. They were like the Master Artist, but also like the Earth they were formed from. They tried to become like the Mater Artist, but they forgot and got lost. Darkness entered the scene. It was hard to see the light. After being lost for long enough they were tired of being broken. Death and pain and destitute hearts. Broken. Lost and Broken more.

Their connection!

They slowly began to remember the Course and Path which lead to remembering and seeing. They rediscovered the tools which helped them overcome the Natural Man and become the Divine within. They began to find beauty and create like the Master Artist.

Now, you and I have entered this scene. We can accept this connection and follow The Course and Path to become like this our Master Artist or make our own way to our own ends. The choice is ours.

The first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth times have all shown the sun and then clouds and turmoil of days better forgotten.

No worries however. All boundaries were planned and in proper order by this Master Artist to create the beauty and promise of the enabling Principles, Environments & Materials, Unlocking the chambers within all creation to flow and change and move upward towards light and life; all at the right time. All we have to do is Release & Receive HIM, our Master Artist and Savior.

Today, the time is now to combine the Principles, Environments, Materials, and Skills. You and I have the keys within to unlock this beautiful creative flowing movement and change upward toward light; to Become. You and I can become the facilitators to help others to do the same. In this process, we follow the Master Artist.

Now, The Master Artist, Artist of all Artists, is waiting.
