good song. it figures that he is a cancer (astrologically speaking).

Matthew Paul Miller (born June 30, 1979),[2] known by his Hebrew and stage name Matisyahu (/mætɪsˈjɑːhuː/; "Gift of God"), is a Jewish American reggae vocalist, beatboxer, and alternative rock musician.

Known for blending Orthodox Jewish themes with reggae, rock and hip hop beatboxing sounds....

some of his thoughts:

In 2006, Matisyahu stated that "All of my songs are influenced and inspired by the teachings that inspire me. I want my music to have meaning, to be able to touch people and make them think. Chassidus teaches that music is 'the quill of the soul.' Music taps into a very deep place and speaks to us in a way that regular words can't."[42]

In 2009, he said about his recently released album Light, "I think the vast majority of people that respect what I do are willing to move with me. I think it's not so much about genres or styles of music as it is about expressing the emotion or the idea. ... Whatever allows you to do that, whatever style, as long as it's authentic."

Know what you mean there brother, just this morning after something was revealed I was in such a good mood I couldn't help but be a little crazy in my actions while driving (not driving crazy) but reciting songs I knew by heart from my younger years, like "Classified" by C.W. McCall, "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels Band ... "Gilligan's Island", "The Brady Bunch" and others

It then dawned on me, I looked at my watch and it was 9:15 ..... only the third hour ..... now I know what was meant by people being accused of being drunk in the morning ..... it's just an awesome good mood ...... what triggered it was a deeper understanding of the freedom He has given us ..... and why wouldn't that put anyone in an awesome mood, eh?

some of the saints swear up and down that suffering is the greater gift.

hahaha when I was a child I watched some of those oldies. Gilligan's Island, bewitched, I dream of jeannie, i love lucy, the brady bunch

some of the saints swear up and down that suffering is the greater gift.

I believe that suffering is just the means to the end ..... that end being ...... entering into His rest, our body may suffer the ailments of here, but our heart, mind and spirit shouldn't have to anymore ...... to enter back into the sufferings of the body with the mind, heart and spirit ..... I believe we are subjecting them back into bondage or wilderness

That is what was revealed to me this morning that put me in such a good mood ......

we are either in bondage to the minds and hearts of men
OR
we become slaves to their system of control which is another form of bondage

When the minds and hearts of men cannot control another ..... they create a system of control and that system always contains law or as we know them to be doctrines ..... which we also have come to understand as LIMITATIONS

Limitations hold people back, unable to enter in (which you already know by your previous posts)

The minds and hearts of men build those walls of Jericho that they cannot go beyond, and that I believe is their suffering .... they just don't know it yet

What an awesome thing to be completely free from men and their systems of control

Wouldst thou discern false Love from true, the token's this— False Love seeks self and fades under adversities. ~Angelus Silesius

it's a good thing that I don't fade under adversities, at least at the core of me. I don't think you can take away self love though which is why sometimes people that call others selfish are just being selfish themselves. self love all its own is not worth it but I can't help but to want God for myself. in seeking God I sometimes came to him as an accuser but it was because I thought he was my adversary and would not give me what I wanted. all you gotta do is be utterly spoiled and self-justified in your desires that you just can't get rid of... that is enough to find God. wherever you are at be there in relation with God.

I just wanna make short post, not spew out whatever gibberish I feel like. one day all will be in the kingdom and then no one is going to be able to bless blind souls anymore.

I like alan watts. here are some of his thoughts

"Consciously we form our own Adam, and the through the process of time find we are the true son, one who is born free; this encompasses what the Bible is as a whole truth of us."

"Consciously we form our own Adam, and the through the process of time find we are the true son, one who is born free; this encompasses what the Bible is as a whole truth of us."

Never heard it put in those words, although I am sure it is somewhere previously in this thread and it was just a seed for me, and boy oh boy is that an eye opener .....

It was from an old email, but your right, it probably is on here, maybe just different words that end with the same conclusion.

My dad said to me once, "let this be a seed to you, and then see where it takes you."

Funny, because even the words about it being a seed became a seed to me.

A seed planted that is less than God creates a wandering after in us, wherein we become lost.

it's all right there

Ezek 11:19-21 (YLT)
And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to them a heart of flesh. So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God. As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

Rev 20:4 (YLT)
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;

peeps,

The following is a general post not directed at anyone yet everyone in content to ponder but most importantly meditation in truth with our God.

Post 1395 is an open ended statement (garden for the seed) to judge or not judge, our choice . However, that may not be the intent of the post and self put the intent there for improvement to self. As a great poster once said we really write these missives to self in disguise of said missive .
For self, the latter brings peace for the first drove self . In process to eliminate that feeling, self would point a finger at another refusing to see the three fingers (another 3 jugg , in relation to your third hour post) pointing at...self. This comes from the human fallacy to rate sin. When self starts implementing Romans 12:2 (With God) to the mind in forgiveness, living in the moment becomes easier in Spiritual process. At least for me anyways it takes time to change a mind molded by people I loved firstly. In picture it looks like old dog new tricks. When one changes the order of first love to Jesus/God <-- put our own expletives there for God has many names . With that change of order came new perceptions like Luke 14:26 . In picture it is rating of love that if I love my God firstly it "appears" I hate father, mother, sister.... for they are not the ones this vessel seeks.

Post 1388 speaks of an earthly self love and loaded with truth that can lead to "want" instead of desire (this is "one" perception of the post ) that leads us to Spiritual improvement in Gods Will . Thanks for the share ,

I could be evil but I don't mind owning a part of hell that no one can find. there are two things in hell - the trash and the worms.

i didn't have to kill my son, I did something worse.

i'm a terrible gardener, even the lemonbalm is dying. maybe I should stop watering my plants with an old fabric softener bottle.

my cucumbers hate me. I have two of them. they are yellow. I don't think that is normal. but the pill bugs, it was so nice watching them eat the cucumber babies. what a crustacean.

from wiki:
The woodlouse has a shell-like exoskeleton, which it must progressively shed as it grows. The moult takes place in two stages; the back half is lost first, followed two or three days later by the front. This method of moulting is different from that of most arthropods, which shed their cuticle in a single process.

A female woodlouse will keep fertilised eggs in a marsupium on the underside of her body until they hatch into offspring that look like small white woodlice curled up in balls. The mother then appears to "give birth" to her offspring. Females are also capable of reproducing asexually.

Despite being crustaceans like lobsters or crabs, woodlice are said to have an unpleasant taste similar to "strong urine".

wow God how do you do it. roly-polys are your childrens creature toys. not that i wish to insult them. to get rid of the pee flavor take like a pill. hence the name pill bug. ~cough~ i'm lying. I never tried one yet. but if I did I will take it like a pill.

Paul said we shouldn't measure ourselves, one against another (which even comes down to, I'm of Paul, I'm of Peter, I'm of Christ; though it's easy to see this is the way of the world (a mentality), how much more does his apply to measuring ourselves by God (should I end there? or let the serpent bite it's tail) which like the binary code, can either be a zero, or a one).
