Echhart Tolle’s Most Powerful Video on Spirituality and Happiness

https://youtu.be/a3CunRgjXBk

Echhart Tolle teaches how to become the consciousness that experiences without interpretation.  Wonderful helps for meditation!  “You are bigger than your thoughts!”  “Suffering implies a story that ‘a little me’ is suffering.”  “Be at one with the present moment because that is the only place that life can be found.”

Seth’s Definition of God (channeled by Jane Roberts, 1972)

Japan’s Virgin Mary Statue of Akita Declared a Miracle

The Wooden Virgin Mary of Japan

Do you believe in miracles? Many do, but miracles rarely can be proven by science. This brings us to the phenomenon of the wooden Virgin Mary of Akita, Japan. Since 1973, the statue, which is made of solid wood, has been seen bleeding, crying, and even sweating. There are also reports that a deaf nun could hear again after touching the statue, and that a woman had a brain tumor cured from it. Scientists, however, cannot explain it. According to sources, the nun, Sister Agnes, prayed to the statue and asked for healing, and as the story goes, she got what she asked for.  (From deposts.com Copyright © 2017)

How many times has the statue cried or bled? It’s a surprising number!

All in all, the statue has been recorded bleeding, crying or sweating 101 times. Believers of the miracle of this statue believe that this number is significant. The first 1 represents Eve, from the Old Testament of the Bible, the second 1 represents the Virgin Mary, and the 0 between them represent the Holy Spirit. The Catholic church has studied the statue and declared these things miracles.

According to Wikipedia, “Reported weeping statues are most often of the Virgin Mary and are at times accompanied by claims of Marian apparitions. However, to date only one single example of a combined weeping statue and apparition (namely Our Lady of Akita) has been certified by the Vatican while most have been dismissed as hoaxes. An unusual nature of the Our Lady of Akita apparitions was that unlike other cases the entire nation of Japan was able to view the tears of the statue of the Virgin Mary on national television.

Of course, science and religion often don’t mix, so scientists have also studied the statue. What they have found is that the fluids that come from the statue are true human fluids. This means they are real human tears, blood, and sweat. How the statue works, however, remains a mystery.  (deposts.com Copyright © 2017)

The Enormous Scale of Creation
by Owen K Waters

In the Middle Ages, most people worked the land. They were peasants who rarely ventured far away from their place of birth, so their concept of the world was quite small. Likewise, their concept of God the Creator was small in scale. To them, God was an all-powerful, wise, elderly, human-like figure who lived somewhere above them and would, one day, judge them in person.

People, at the time, didn’t realize the massive size of the planet upon which they stood. To them, most of their universe could be seen from the top of the nearest hill. Today, with cosmology and the Hubble telescope to help us, our view of the size of the universe has been stretched farther and farther.

What we have learned, since the Middle Ages, includes these realizations:

1. The Earth is not the center of the universe. Apparently, when this was discovered, it came as quite a shock.

2. The Earth is round. This was excellent news at the time: No more worrying that you might take to sea and sail off the edge of the world.

3. The Earth travels around the Sun. This means that, while modern-day life on Earth may seem to be expensive at times, it does come with the added bonus, once a year, of a free trip around the Sun.

4. The Sun is over a million times bigger than the Earth.

5. There are 200 billion other suns in our own galaxy.

6. There are well over 100 billion galaxies in the universe.

7. As big as the universe is, in order for God to be everywhere, God has to be bigger still. Continue reading The Enormous Scale of Creation
