Well the Bible is all about family things,we have family.......the more things change,the more they stay the same & their is nothing new under the sun....We are still a far larger emotional body attached to our physical carbon based life form.Same sh*t,different day.....different challenges & pressures,yet constant.....we are the same,just now we have greater access to better information,generating better questions,better answer's to better questions which in turn generate even better question's for even greater knowledge.
The land of milk & honey is a place where you can't drink the water so you have to drink animal milk,& there is no food either so you rely upon insects....honey somehow can purify water too?
I am all for the Shabbat,quite looking forward to one as I may have had a growth spurt this week.
.....For me Jewishness is purely promotion of family values to get by in times of great hardship,in barren lands where there is nothing to live on unless you can improvise.
I love the Hyksos,the shepherd kings,the Hicks.I used to think they received their special knowledge(foresight/prophecy) from stargazing which is true to a great extent.....mainly it is based upon a guy or female living a spiritual life or desiring to live a good life with peace in mind,ie best of intentions & goodwill in the world.When you get a nice mix of desire,will & intent,that you can keep strong,there is no barrier of ignorance that you cannot burn away.
Jacob's ladder changed all that for me,using stone pillows in the great outdoors helps you resonate low,like Jacob,for great prophecy & vision.Anyone can do it,it is not remarkable at all although some of the visions are beautifully illustrated,some are not so & are horribly flawed or distorted.
Just a matter of sorting out the wheat from the chaff,to thine own self be true.
Great Love,
