Today while scrolling through the FB Wall, I hadn't realized how disturbing the "auto-video" feature was until a posted video began to play without me wishing to see it. It was very disturbing ... deeply disturbing. So much so that I have spent the entire day battling with my mind to replace it with something positive.

We hear churches telling us that the Jews are the Chosen Ones of God. So, if this is true, then we should know how to determine what a JEW really means right?
Joseph Campbell once wrote: "A Myth is something that never was, yet always is." This is a powerful definition of the original intent of the Greek word "mythos." It is a tale, story, plot, generally spoken; not necessarily true but with a deeper Truth hidden within the story. A poetic tale, with a profound lesson rooted within it.
If we were to strike a match, fire will germinate. Scientists say that fire is the result of combustion, but this is false. The fire that germinates from the match is contained within the match. Only when we strike the match do we free it from imprisonment, and the flame appears. We can say then that fire in itself is not the result of combustion, but rather, combustion is the result of the fire.
Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places. Let's look at three words in particular.
PER·SO·NA (Latin | Noun)
pərˈsōnə "the aspect of someone's character that is presented to or perceived by others ... a role or character adopted by an author or an actor." This is the root of the English word PERSON. Your EGO mask. This world is a cosmic play, and you are the Actor. Do you think it is only the radical side of Islam that has cut a swath of death and destruction through the pages of human history? Mankind has been acting against Divinity, in its representation of Divinity; for thousands of years.
Friends, all that we desire must be planted as a SEED. WE are the gardeners. For ANYTHING to grow it must be planted. How can we expect fruit from a tree that wasn't first planted as a seed? Our thoughts are seeds. Our actions are the manifestation of our thoughts. What we think we become.
Whenever I am scrolling around on Facebook, or reading news headlines, I always see some reference to "prophecy being fulfilled." Here is my take. Prophecy is an impossibility ... yes, even for "God."
It has been said that “Myths are things that never happened but always are.” This quote is attributed to the 4th century Roman historian and mystic Sallustius. It describes the allegorical nature of Mythology and suggests that they contain behind their often fairy tale and fantastical nature, hidden truths and higher meanings.
