A study revealed that neurons in mammalian brains can produce photons of light, termed "biophotons," which range from near-infrared to violet wavelengths (200 to 1,300 nanometers). This discovery led scientists to speculate that neurons might communicate using light, suggesting the existence of optical communication channels within the brain. If such communication occurs, it's hypothesized that biophotons could be influenced by quantum entanglement, potentially linking them to consciousness and what various cultures refer to as the spirit.

Experiments indicated that while rat brains emit approximately one biophoton per neuron per minute, human brains could transmit over a billion biophotons per second. This raises the question of whether a higher production and transmission of biophotons correlate with elevated levels of consciousness. Consider the parallels between this idea and historical depictions of enlightened figures across various religions, who are often shown with radiant halos, suggesting that increased biophoton emission might be associated with higher states of enlightenment.

The findings also propose that consciousness and spirit might not be confined to the physical body. Quantum entanglement demonstrates that two entangled photons instantly affect each other, regardless of distance. This phenomenon leads to the hypothesis that photons could serve as portals for communication between different realms, implying that our spirit and consciousness might interact with our bodies through biophotons. Consequently, producing more light could enhance our awareness and connection to a universal consciousness.

Yeshua ha’Meschiach, aka Jesus, the Christ, spoke about his ordeal of suffering, humiliation, shaming, abandonment, and physical agony - as a Baptism:
A ritual of initiation imparted after the demonstration of sufficient achievement or proficiency.

I never had any kind of internal understanding, Grokking, for those who understand that word, until just today of what that Baptism, that Initiation, was for. And it has nothing to do with theology or correct theological beliefs. Those just put people into their heads and away from their hearts which is what this Baptism is all about - moving deeper into your heart than is possible for you to do - on your own.

Yet, it requires the one who’s to go through that Baptism, to do it alone. And what did this Baptism impart to Yeshua besides pain and suffering? What was accomplished by successfully enduring the agony? Simply that. The ability to endure suffering to to continue to Love the one in front of you. Yet, it goes far beyond the ability to endure, to detach from every type attachment or resistance to agony in order to stay in Love.

Why do that? I don’t get it you might say. Well, honestly, none of us really Want to Get It! Nobody wants to endure suffering.

It reminds me of the saying attributed to St Augustine, that “The reward of patience Is patience.” For Yeshua, this Baptism demonstrated his capacity for log suffering The reward, if you will? “The reward of long suffering is the inscrutable gift of Long Suffering.”

Is this about learning to become a ma*****st? On the contrary, a ma*****st Desires pain. This Baptism demonstated Yeshua’s freedom from both Wanting pain and Freedom from wanting to avoid pain.

If you think about it, what does Love do? Love does all those things listed in Corinthians and more, but for what goal?
To Completely Free us to be able to choose to grow into who we truly are, -divine beings. As Paul said, “We are to become Like him.” And what was he like? Well, “Through him all things were made, nothing was made that was not made through him.” He is a co-creator of everything. God! To become like him, thats who and what we’re to become. There is no real comparison of our human experiences to what this Baptism is like. It might be like watching your own offspring, or those you care for most deeply, choose to betray you while you hold the emotional space for them to Truly choose, even if its against you, and you never stop loving them. You endure the loss and keep that love of them to continue to choose for themselves. All the time keeping the hope that they’ll choose what’s in their best and highest interest.

This Baptism demonstates the level of Love required to truly be our Destiny, as God. Have you ever poured yourself into another, only to watch that person choose to betray you, to cause enormous pain to themselves and others? And you still love them right through this? It’s to continue to stand firmly in Love whether they choose to be how you want them to be or choose differently. To truly and honestly call the one “friend,” who betrayed you, while letting them know you’re fully aware of their betrayal and yet still hold open the door for them to continue their growth along side you if they choose.

This was offered equally to Peter and Judas. Both still Loved regardless of their choices. Love never entices a choice, only invites the choice to love and displays acceptance whether they choose to receive and reciprocate or not. This Baptism is about the ability to Love during and through the agony of loss and even somehow finding and staying in a place of Joy. Letting go of all attachments to outcomes to be able to stay in Joy, Peace and Freedom, independent of what anyone else chooses.

And to be God, one much choose to love all and hate none, all the time.

That’s what Yeshua’s Baptism gave him, suffering, so he could demonstrate freedom from suffering, in order to demonstrate his ability and choice to Love all and hate none, all the time, no matter the cost to him.

The Professional Integration Days for Guides is complete!

The Guides of the Modern Mystery School gather annually for two full days of training and discussion, celebration for the accomplishments of the year that has past and preparation for the year ahead.

A Guide in the Modern Mystery School is someone who has the honour, authority and privilege to initiate another individual as an Adept in the Lineage of King Salomon. They do this through teaching the Empower Thyself Program, a two-day class that reveals the profound and foundational teachings of our ancient metaphysical and Hermetic tradition, which concludes with a sacred initiation ceremony.

A Certified Guide in the Modern Mystery School has the best training and mentoring available to do their job of sharing Light and true Empowerment through the path of initiation. They work in integrity with their community of fellow Guides, honouring the lineage, those they serve, and above all, the mission of World Peace.

✨✨✨ Special thank you to Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon for two huge days of wisdom and support, and to Sovereign Ipsissimus Hideto Nakagome and the man who started it all, Founder Gudni Gudnason for holding the purity of this lineage so that this Light and knowledge may flow to all those who seek it.

Here’s a brief update of what is going on in my life right now. The main thing is that this house I live in is going back on the market this Friday, February 21st.

I’ve been especially busy the past 2-1/2 months. I’ve had the joy of having 3 of my grandkids here at overlapping times from the beginning of December to the beginning of this month, February.

Also, during that time I was working on the house, yard, pool, and garage, getting the house ready to go back on the market this coming weekend. Yup, it’s happening. I’ve done a ton of work on the house. Let’s see if it was worth it.

I have been revisioning my life since this time of divorce, which has been finalized, by the way, in October 2024. More than ever, I see the importance of first using, then sharing the tools, i.e., the teachings and rituals of the Hermetic tradition in the Lineage of King Salomon. They waned a bit there, and for a good while they’re now waxing, and honestly people, TSW!

It’s been through using the tools I have that has made it possible to restore Joy in my life and view my life from a higher perspective. The simple process of leaving this house is no different than a new tree sprouting from an acorn. The kernel inside was housed by the shell, which protected it from the elements and kept it safe. After going dark and disappearing from sight for a while, the life inside continued to grow until it pushed itself out of its home in its next phase of Life. Life, they say, is a journey. And the journey I am on is an Amazing Adventure.

World peace is an inside job. Passing laws, instituting new policies and staging protests aren't the key. The key is YOU learning to live peacefully with yourself and others and contributing that peace into the collective consciousness.
