Heaven On Earth @ MindSay 
poem
I got bored, I'll admit it, decided to flip through the stations on the TV - usually I don't bother - I just leave music on and go about my day, or the weather station or a news channel... but for some reason I was inspired to flip through the stations until I came across an older man, quite greyed, wearing a jacket that appeared to be of the old neru style - perhaps it was supposed to be similar to a Catholic priest's black collar with the white center. He was giving a speech somewhere in South Africa, a man who claims god speaks to him. Some people have the sense that god only speaks to them but not to others, so I found what he was saying intriguing - why would he think what god says to him is somehow more important than what god says to someone else?
It was the Benny Hinn Ministry show, I caught just the end of it and then jumped over to check out his website.
Benny Hinn, (www.bennyhinn.org if you want to check it out) he seems to be another evangelistic styled christian and he raised some questions in me. He referenced burning incense as inviting the devil and suggested that "people in the east, people in India and Japan are inviting the devil in...", and that "using perfume is okay, sprinkle it all over", he said, "scented candles are okay, but be careful with that incense..." He was on a roll speaking of how the devil and satan gets into a person's home and their life through various avenues - music, books, photos, artifacts and then "takes over"... And that the devil, once in one's life, will always seek to come back - if removed - and "bring seven more with him". Funny too, cause I remember the heavy scent of incense in our family's church, it was so overpowering, it almost made me feel ill at times. Though I liked it when it was lighter, like at times when I was in the church and there wasn't a sermon going on, and just a hint of the fragrance was still in the air.
Ugh! Promoting fear. I have a problem with any religion that promotes fear! That promotes superstition, that tries to take away a person's sense of empowerment... In particular, after checking out this man's schedule - where he's traveling to spread his word, his ministry, his ministry training, his conferences... (The Dominican Repulic, elsewhere in Africa, in Taiwan, in Rome, and several cities in the US) And he suggested that people need to physically attend these conferences of his, to receive the "energy" of god... Interesting I thought - I've heard this said by others as well.
I pondered this idea - about this energy being received. It's interesting because that sensation of receiving energy is universal to many religions as well as within imaginative activities. Children tap into it, artists of any medium do as well - painters, writers, musicians, poets. Interesting - because it is also the thing often used to put fear in the hearts of people - that surge of energy. Yet, I get a sense myself that this might simply be a natural tap into creation itself. And It's not something that need be feared. It is something that can enrich our lives and bring us closer to our own divinity - to our own natural way of being. Again children and artists tap into it quite naturally, often without much effort.
People who lead meditations can help to bring this sensation of energy into focus for a group and help to strenthen a person's own receptors, still there, but virtually forgotten from his or her own youth, after being buried under the "seriousness" of living and so-called maturity. I have to ask myself, why burden ourselves with superstitions and generalizations inherited from our elders and leaders, all the expectations we carry on our shoulders and attempt to live by? When in the end we simply wish to appreciate and receive and sense that "energy from god"? When in the end we all wish to have a conversation with god ourselves, our own personal relationship with god. Jesus and St Francis both told us this was possible if anything in the scriptures and history is of truth. That god is with us always and that we can speak freely with god at any time and be answered.
And so, while I take issue with how some ministers go about scaring their congregations I guess I can take comfort from what they are attempting - in that they are attempting to bring people back to that place where they can sense that energy. That's a very good thing. I'm not thrilled with the means - to be sure. But I hope people can build this strong sense - a sixth sense really. Once people "get that" and really appreciate it they may see how children manage the same technique effortlessly and allow the children to run with it instead of bending it out of them only to try to put it back in again, later, when they're older, after they've learned discipline!
It's no wonder people are so mixed up and children are so confused in this modern world!
That sense of energy is part of the magic I relate to, it is the magic fabric of the natural world and is what makes things work for us all - however way we wish to describe the process, no matter what names we wish to ascribe to it. THAT energy is what swims around us and within us and throughout the universe. It touches each of us differently, and yet, magically the results - in the end, are the same... For those who prefer the scare tactics I wish you very well and welcome the time your sixth sense comes to you that you too can see just how very magical and beautiful this life on earth is. This magical earth that can be the heaven we all hope to create. The garden of eden we all hope to return to, can be created right here, right now by using that sixth sense and allowing the same for all other beings. I do believe this world is truly an enchanted garden and I am certain we are about to see it's unfolding before us. We are humans, evolving, and it is a beautiful and natural thing to behold!

We see three men standing around a vat of vinegar. Each has dipped his finger into the vinegar and has tasted it. The expression on each man's face shows his individual reaction. Since the painting is allegorical, we are to understand that these are no ordinary vinegar tasters, but are instead representatives of the "Three Teachings" of China, and that the vinegar they are sampling represents the Essence of Life. The three masters are Confucius, Buddha, and Lao Zi, author of the oldest existing book of Taoism. The first has a sour look on his face, the second wears a bitter expression, but the third man is smiling.
To Confucius, life seemed rather sour. He believed that the present was out step with the past, and that the government of man on earth was out of harmony with the Way of Heaven, the government of, the universe. Therefore, he emphasized reverence for the Ancestors, as well as for the ancient rituals and ceremonies in which the emperor, as the Son of Heaven, acted as intermediary between limitless heaven and limited earth. Under Confucianism, the use of precisely measured court music, prescribed steps, actions, and phrases all added up to an extremely complex system of rituals, each used for a particular purpose at a particular time. A saying was recorded about Confucius: "If the mat was not straight, the Master would not sit." This ought to give an indication of the extent to which things were carried out under Confucianism.
To Buddha, the second figure in the painting, life on earth was bitter, filled with attachments and desires that led to suffering. The world was seen as a setter of traps, a generator of illusions, a revolving wheel of pain for all creatures. In order to find peace, the Buddhist considered it necessary to transcend "the world of dust" and reach Nirvana, literally a state of "no wind." Although the essentially optimistic attitude of the Chinese altered Buddhism considerably after it was brought in from its native India, the devout Buddhist often saw the way to Nirvana interrupted all the same by the bitter wind of everyday existence.
To Lao Zi, the harmony that naturally existed between heaven and earth from the very beginning could be found by anyone at any time, but not by following the rules of the Confucianists. As he stated in his Tao Te Ching, the "Tao Virtue Book," earth was in essence a reflection of heaven, run by the same laws - not by the laws of men. These laws affected not only the spinning of distant planets, but the activities of the birds in the forest and the fish in the sea. According to Lao Zi, the more man interfered with the natural balance produced and governed by the universal laws, the further away the harmony retreated into the distance. The more forcing, the more trouble. Whether heavy or light, wet or dry, fast or slow, everything had its own nature already within it, which could not be violated without causing difficulties. When abstract and arbitrary rules were imposed from the outside, struggle was inevitable. Only then did life become sour.
To Lao Zi, the world was not a setter of traps but a teacher of valuable lessons. Its lessons needed to be learned, just as its laws needed to be followed; then all would go well. Rather than turn away from "the world of dust," Lao Zi advised others to "join the dust of the world." What he saw operating behind everything in heaven and earth he called Tao (DAO), "the Way."
A basic principle of Lao Zi's teaching was that this Way of the Universe could not be adequately described in words, and that it would be insulting both to its unlimited power and to the intelligent human mind to attempt to do so. Still, its nature could be understood, and those who cared the most about it, and the life from which it was inseparable, understood it best.
In the painting, why is Lao Zi smiling? After all, that vinegar that represents life must certainly have an unpleasant taste, as the expressions on the faces of the other two men indicate. But, through working in harmony with life's circumstances, Taoist understanding changes what others may perceive as negative into something positive. From the Taoist point of view, sourness and bitterness come from the interfering and unappreciative mind. Life itself, when understood and utilized for what it is, is sweet. That is the message of The Vinegar Tasters.
Christ is someone that can be fathomed because He is the Incarnate God that came to Earth in the flesh to deliver humanity from the darkness that is the realm of Satan.
Many theologians would say that God is unknowable because He is beyond the temporal understanding of humanity. I don’t believe that. I believe God so loved the his creation – humankind – that He indeed incarnated Himself to redeem humanity from the sell-out by the first man Adam.
In Christ humanity is able to KNOW God by the connection of the human spirit to the Holy Spirit. That is our Heavenly/Earthly conduit that is the exchange and mixture of things Divine and things material.
That is my little mystical blurb that I am utilizing for an introduction to a fascinating article by JoAnn McFatter. She is evidently a gal that has entered the realm of the spirit and the realm of science and has awakened to revelation.

"The Divine Exchange Between Heaven and Earth--A New Sound Is Being Released"
JoAnn McFatter
July 6, 2006
Constant Exchanges
There is at all times, a sound being released from earth to Heaven, as well as from Heaven to earth--a divine exchange, so to speak. In the unseen realm, it is in the form of energy patterns, waves, particles. Although the vast majority of it is not heard with our natural ear, it is sensed by us because we are part of this existence.
What is coming from our end is "heard" by God, and I believe that He has an ever-flowing response back to us, which we need to be aware of and "tune into" with our spirit man, so as to tap into that constant communion we can have with Him. We often refer to it, as does Scripture, "spirit to spirit, deep to deep." In John 17, Jesus prays concerning our oneness with Him, "...that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and you in Me."
Regardless of whether we are conscious of it or not, without that constant exchange, this world as we know it, would not even exist..."in Him all things consist."
In the Beginning Was the Word
When God set up this whole existence of ours, He put it all in motion with the release of His sound, His Word, "Let there be Light."
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend (overcome) it." John 1:1-5
Science is just now catching up with the Word, but what they are discovering these days, especially in the quantum world of physics, is absolutely amazing as it pertains to Scripture.
He released His sound...His Word out of Eternity. All we have experienced, all we do experience, and all we will experience, is held together by His Word. Science calls it the * zero energy point, which is at the very center of the smallest particle. It is what keeps everything from collapsing all around us. Jesus is the fleshly Manifestation of that Word--He IS the Word.
In Him All Things Consist
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." Colossians 1:15-17
It is all held together by Him, again, "...and in Him all things consist." I had to look up the word "consist." I've heard this passage misquoted many times. I, myself, have misquoted this passage because of the way I've heard it said so often as "all things exist," rather than "consist." I looked up the word "consist" because the Holy Spirit used that word specifically, and the misquote drew my attention to it. The word consist means, "To be made up or composed, to be comprised or contained, to exist together or be capable of existing together." I found this very interesting--all of this is made capable of existing together only in Him.
A Sound of Breakthrough
There is a sound of BREAKTHROUGH being released from Heaven in this hour that I believe can even be activated by our sounds of worship mixed with the sound of faith here on the earth. Our agreement with Heaven's agenda will truly affect the outcome.
It may be strange to hear the phrase, "the sound of faith" or "the sound of good works," but energy that is released from these things really does have a sound. Worship is a sound, whether it be audible or inaudible to our natural ear, flowing from us to the Father. When we direct our hearts, our intent toward Him, even when we don't verbalize it, there are waves and/or vibrations that are released into the atmosphere that He sees, smells, hears, tastes--that He receives unto Himself.
Obviously, Scripture uses metaphor to describe the exchange between God and His creation--"Taste and see that the Lord is good." Our prayers are as an incense unto Him and He "fills His nostrils" with it. There are so many examples. But if you were to really look at what is happening at a subatomic level, that unseen realm, our words and sounds are releasing energy into the atmosphere that everything around us is affected by.
See and Smell the Spirit Realm
I am reminded of something Neville Johnson (a father to the body of Christ in matters of the Spirit) shared in a teaching session. He went through a period of time, I believe several months, where the Lord caused him to see and smell the spirit realm--particularly, the realm of emotions. He actually saw the colors and smelled the fragrance that was released from people as they entertained emotions.
If a person was angry he saw red coming from them with a foul scent accompanying it. Jealousy in a person released a greenish grey color, again with a particular foul smell. The most fowl scent of all came with self-pity. Demons would see and smell it and flock to the person to fuel the emotion. It worked as well on the flip side of that.
Positive emotions released particular colors and pleasant fragrances, causing angels to come. My point is that we see, hear, and sense only in part what is taking place in the unseen realm. Actually, Neville begged God to "turn it off" because it was driving him crazy to be constantly aware of all of this. God is constantly aware of all of this, and even more, in all of creation at all times.
John Paul's Heavenly Visitation
I remember John Paul Jackson shared an experience he had in Heaven during a visitation. He said every fiber of his being was illuminated as if it were alive, and he was conscious of how everything in his body was connected--even things science and the medical field are not yet aware of.
In his thoughts, he knew that God was that aware of every aspect of creation at all times--every blade of grass, every particle of every atom, as well as every creature, every human on the earth--not to mention the things of Heaven. What we say and what we do, does not go unnoticed by God. Every intent of our heart, every action, every word, every song, it's all "breathed in," so to speak, by God.
John Paul went on to say that when a word was released in Heaven, with it came music, fragrance, a color of light, and a numerical equation. I was undone by this statement, as I had been studying physics, light, sound, and color for a couple of years, and at that point, I wasn't even sure why.
I would go to the book store, stand in front of the science section and throw my arms up to God, saying "What?! What am I doing here?!" Then a couple of titles would catch my eye, and I would buy the books, go home, and try to read them. Well, when John Paul mentioned the numerical equation with each word I just started sobbing. That's what physics is all about--mathematical equations!
My heart was so relieved, thinking, "This is You, God. You really are behind this!" Many of you have that same sigh of relief, "I'm not going crazy after all, and I am hearing God on all of this." I can't tell you how many people have said the same thing to me in the last few years--God is up to something!
Spirit to spirit Understanding
Something's up in the Spirit and it's a spirit to spirit understanding He is giving us in this hour. Things have escalated drastically and there is a divine acceleration going on. I liken it to an earthquake. If you were to say that the end of time as we know, is at the epicenter of the quake, then the closer we get to it, the stronger and faster the ripples will be that pull us toward it.
God is going to be releasing understanding at a greater pace. We are going to be much more acclimated to the unseen realm, and I believe we will be more able to sense and discern what is happening as a result of our actions and our words. We will see and hear more clearly His response and Heaven's response, as we become more skilled in the ways of the spirit and the unseen realm.
I am setting the stage to move into some explanation of just how our words, our actions, our worship affect the unseen realm. The church is finally exploring that which was meant for us as believers from the beginning of time. We lost the understanding of His ways as we trusted more and more in the thoughts and ways of man...the opinions and traditional ways of thinking in Greek-based philosophy.
We need to begin to pray and ask for the fullness of God to be released in our spirits, that we might be enlightened to the way He meant for us to walk with Him even on this earth. He said He would have those who worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Worship Is Key in the Releasing
There really is something on the horizon in the not so very distant future. Worship will be key in releasing much of this. It will be used to change the atmosphere for the Light to penetrate the darkness "and the darkness will not comprehend (overcome) it."
As He is lifted up, He will draw all men unto Him. God is unlocking mysteries and allowing us to peer into things we've not understood until now.
There is a line in a song that He gave me that goes, "Breaking the sound barrier, breaking the barrier of sound between Heaven and the ground." We've got to get in touch with the power of our words and, yes, even the intent of our hearts. As we align ourselves with the "Sound of Heaven," these things will begin to manifest on the earth.
Grace...grace.

We come to you at this moment of your time to wrap you even tighter in our unconditional love. This is a challenging and difficult time for many. Feelings of depression, disillusionment and disconnection are affecting many as you travel through yet another period of intense integration and release. You are travelling through the "trough" of the wave and are cycling through the downward slope of the latest great influx of intense higher energies. These periods hold many challenges and many rewards. They are more difficult to transition than the high energy peaks with bursts of uplifting light that permeate your world, however they are just as necessary to your evolution. No beings in physical form could maintain cohesion with a non-stop influx of the higher energies without these periods of integration and adaptation. It is necessary to have these lulls to allow you to integrate all the new light which has entered your world, and to allow for the release of old energies and old patterns to make room for further influxes of higher vibrations. As we have discussed from the beginning this is a never ending evolution and movement to the higher vibrational states. It is as you would call it, a bit of a "roller coaster ride" but one worth taking.
The peaks and valleys you have been experiencing will begin to smooth out somewhat over the next year and your evolution will begin to flow more in a natural pattern like the gentle waves of your oceans. In short, the hurricane force winds will calm into gentle loving ocean breezes and you will move from one level to the next with more grace and ease. It may be difficult for those who have felt like their world has been turned upside-down in the past few months to truly incorporate these thoughts into their consciousness, however it will soften and become more of the flowing process of which we speak.
Each individual must ride these waves in the manner which is best suited to them, the key is not to become caught up in fear and impatience with yourself or others. It may seem at times that you are trapped in these unyielding waves which are beyond your control and serve no purpose but to cause you upset and anxiety. Dear ones, this could not be further from the truth, you have given your permission and made the choice to move forward. Just because you can not see the immediate glorious results of these choices does not mean they do not exist. You have all made extraordinary progress in raising your vibrations to new and wonderful levels that bring you ever closer to the evolutionary objectives you all seek...bringing "Heaven to Earth". As individuals you take on more of your angelic vibration every day. You are integrating more of your higher self into your physical being in every moment.
We hear your question, "Then why do I feel like a piece of crap most of the time?", dear ones imagine you had a beach ball and were trying to stuff it into a Coke bottle, can you imagine how the beach ball would feel after a couple of hours? [Laughter]
Dear ones, we don't wish to make light of your struggles or your challenges, simply to re-mind you of the magnitude of the incredible work you are doing and the magnificent results. What you are doing has never been done before and we bless and honour you for it. In fact, it was never even conceived of as possible. Bringing the full light and energy of your higher self into your physical form while still remaining on your beloved Planet Earth, what a wonderful and inspiring project, that has touched every fibre of "All That Is". Every speck of light in All That Is shines just a little brighter every time you progress one more tiny step towards manifesting your ultimate dream. The whole of the universe holds its collective breath every time you reach the next evolutionary level. You are not only making this incredible journey for yourselves but for "All That is" and what was and what shall be.
Stand firm Angels of Earth, walk boldly forward and treat these lulls or dips as rest periods in which to ground and steady yourself for your next leap forward. We know it is difficult to view your awesome progress from your current limited prospective and this is why we are here to re-mind you what awesome Beings of Light you truly are. Be gentle with yourself and others during these times and re-member you are "Never Alone", we wrap you in a downy Quilt of Love and cushion you as best we can from the path you have so bravely chosen to follow. We hold you in our heart of hearts and ask you to do the same for each other. Blessings to one and all...

Eyes battered and arms sore, hadnt i went and stayed p all night crying my eyes out from my curse would it have made my day even worse. For me the sight of which the truth to be shown would drive the next guy mad just to hear the crying pain of the whispers in the air, and the thickness of hatred that flew within it. The eyes of those of the unknown are always upon you, and on the side of an uneven feeling, you hear the question... what is wrong child? So much emotion had fallen from the tears and voices that has been ringing though my ears.... AM i really cursed by God, or was it just my faith to listen to hose in the distence haunt the minds of others? Faintly i heard that heaven dosnt exist when i recall walking amung them as clear as day just months ago...? Will i ever get my wings?
At times i imagin myself forever walking the earth asking myself on where my wings are... when faintly i could feel the heavy burden of them on my sholders every moment my existence here on this earth is comming closer to the end. All i could do is wait until the end is near, and help those that i am assigned to work with until they eather leave or if i am called off ahead of time. It wasnt my choice to become one of the gaurdians of humans, especily on the side when i knew all that they would give me in return of my hard duties was insults, torture, and well spit-shined shoes.... isnt the spirits of theafterlife that i am destend to fight for you enough hurt?
I know I am loved somewhere, by Jesus and God, even with thier absence alone in my life proves that I was once strong enough to go and fend for myself.... yet i had went into James' arms and did my damndest to hold in as much as i could, yet cry on his sholder as though a lost child? Sometimes i wonder myself if my deeds will go unnotised.... Why wasnt i held in jesus' arms last night when i heard the ringing hatred of my parents screams rushing though my head? I had to use everything i had to protect them from the evil spirits that lingered around the area, and now is my punishment for having to soft of a heart to "let them get what they deserved."
I just wish to know.. that if i really am from the blood of the virgin mary, why is it that when i am to help myself would no one come and save me? My prayers only work for other beings, but unless i am in direct danger would there be a hint of a mist watching me at least... then i would get uncomphertable that another being was in the room and ask them to go away.
In my short life years of returning once again to this earth, had i learned as much as a human wiseman of 82 in shuch a short time, then perhas my shin wouldnt look as lifeless as it dose now....
but what do you humans care about a deathborn in pain... i only protet you in your daily lives, destroying and fighting those that which will bring harm to you...? I make it to where you can sleep at night, and i make it to where you humans will live each day smiling at the sun as i take the rainclouds upon myself. Yu speak of me in vain--asking when i am to die--and yet i keep my word of protection so yourselves could live a healthier life when i do more work then anyone combined--with only the thought in mind of getting repayed later on to keep me going? You have money, and i have faith... I dont enjoy my job, and i dont enjoy the fact I am stuck hereon earth until my job is done... yet without me here, you humans would have a little harder time getting around then you do now. It is nerve racking, uncomphertable, and all around dangerious thing... but someone has to do it... cant I get a little more respect, or is it to much to ask?
I even pray for my enimies, and thank my God every night for evrything he has given me, even down to those that i would normily dispise to have the best of health..... i am unable to hate, all i can do is love.... i cant cause harm to the fleash, but i have to protect the souls......
I'll go play zelda now or something....
