All names in God's Creation testify of His character and nature....EVEN if we think we have thought them up ourselves. Jesus placed His mother Mary in John's capable and loving hands, at the crucifixion. MARY JUAN A.

It has been legal in CANA da for some time, by prescription. It has NONE of the side effects of narcotics....constipation, destruction of the intestines, loss of appetite, etc. It has been raised up as a "plant of renown" and comfort until such time as God's authority can be restored in and through His "corporate Son/Bride" who has been going through the refining process. We have been in the "donkey/ass" stage...and until that donkey has had it's neck broken (according to Levitical Law) and fully redeemed by the "Lamb"...it has been and continues to be a gift for those who are suffering.

[kathryn]

The church in the donkey/ass stage of refinement is most often STERILE...unable to be the conduit for God's will , which is a whole, perfected body. The Donkey is most often sterile because of it's DUAL nature...half mule/half horse. It's also stiff necked and full of TIGHT ASSED MINDSETS.:pray:

Many speakers at the Cartographie Psycedelica spoke about how the goverment has done everything they can to suppress any scientific research into cannabis. They are breaking the law. Serious scientists apply for the right to research it, and the DEA and NIDA refuses to allow it. They use every possible means to delay and obstruct research that has AMAZING potential for human health and well-being. Our goverment is acting as an enemy of humanity. The craziest thing is that Obama appointed Bush's head of the DEA who is actively committed to suppressing legitimate scientific research. Lobby your representatives! If we don't do it, who will? People's lives are at stake.

Ah yes!!! And about our foundation, I hope you don't mind the repetition here...but post this fits perfectly here, with the "tight ASSed mindsets" and these threads are all linking together now:



In the first year of Cyrus the king, the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be STRONGLY LAID (Samek KeyWord sabal); the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits; ................................... Ezra 6:3 (Spoke 15, Cycle 1)

God moving us out of the curse of the written Logos and learning of Him and our True identity, precept on precept....back to how it's always been intended...through the Word made Flesh, in His Creation. He is speaking to us, and always has been,IN AND THROUGH ALL THINGS..ALL OF CREATION.

The MYSTERY of His relationship with the Church was meant to be understood through the process of Life in His creation....the primary type being the act of physical intercourse between a man and wife.

As was mentioned this morning on the Deuteronomy 29:29 thread, His nature, Joy and Laughter and PASSION is engraved in the foundation of Creation....and He has been releasing all of the "up tight" or "tight ASSed"/donkey mindsets that have kept us from seeing this. (and the perversions satan has used to divert us from the SIMPLICITY and beauty of His Truth.

Ejaculation/orgasim was always meant to symbolize the SEED and utter satiation of communion, that gushes forth at the Consummation of the Bride and Bridegroom. The sceptre (rod) does not leave Judah, nor a law giver between his feet...until Shiloh COME! The Spirit and the bride, say 3 times...COME COME COME, drink of the Living Waters.

When (as this occurs)....the foundation of our HOUSE (which has been divided) IS STRONGLY LAID. We are not just laid....we are STRONGLY LAID!!! :hysterical:

I'm sorry if this offends anyone...but the Word of God will be an offence, until our carnal mind sets have been cast down...and the impotent little, UNcircumcised "rod" of satan, which has been raping our "Holy Place" or sou/conscious mind, with them.

There was NO way to enter the Holy of Holies...(virgin subconscious mind) through the Holy Place. The circumcised High Priest...(after having his penis and TESTES (testimony) examined to make sure there were NO imperfections) could ONLY ENTER HER through the sides or THIGHS of the western curtain/wall.

In Canada, while it is legal on prescription, the Government has been trying to bring in a Bill that will give pot-smokers a longer sentence than pedophiles! There's a great organization up here, that sends petitions via the net, all over the world to present to governments on this issue. They were able to stop the bill from passing in Quebec. Have you heard of it?

If medical Marijuana can be prescribed by a doctor for people suffering from depression and stress with no harmful side-affects, why not for anyone who wants to just mellow-out?

From NORML: Recent Research on Medical Marijuana (http://norml.org/library/recent-research-on-medical-marijuana)
(http://norml.org/library/recent-research-on-medical-marijuana)


Despite the ongoing political debate regarding the legality of medical marijuana, clinical investigations of the therapeutic use of cannabinoids are now more prevalent than at any time in history.
For example, in February 2010 investigators at the University of California Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (http://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/) publicly announced the findings (http://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/CMCR_REPORT_FEB17.pdf) of a series of randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials on the medical utility of inhaled cannabis. The studies, which utilized the so-called ‘gold standard' FDA clinical trial design, concluded that marijuana ought to be a "first line treatment" for patients with neuropathy and other serious illnesses.


Among the studies conducted by the Center, four assessed smoked marijuana's ability to alleviate neuropathic pain, a notoriously difficult to treat type of nerve pain associated with cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, spinal cord injury and many other debilitating conditions. Each of the trials found that cannabis consistently reduced patients' pain levels to a degree that was as good or better than currently available medications.

Another study conducted by the Center's investigators assessed the use of marijuana as a treatment for patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. That study determined that "smoked cannabis was superior to placebo in reducing spasticity and pain in patients with MS, and provided some benefit beyond currently prescribed treatments."

Around the globe, similarly controlled trials are also taking place. A 2010 review (http://www.cannabis-med.org/index.php?tpl=cannabinoids&id=243&lng=en&red=cannabinoidslist) by researchers in Germany reports that since 2005 there have been 37 controlled studies assessing the safety and efficacy of marijuana and its naturally occurring compounds in a total of 2,563 subjects. By contrast, most FDA-approved drugs go through far fewer trials involving far fewer subjects.


Note that last line - this is what really exposes the fact that there is an "ulterior motive" behind marijuana prohibition. It is an established medical fact that marijuana has many benefits and far few (if any) side-effects that are common with FDA approved drugs.

take drugs in your dream and went to bed in the dream and dream. you have to know the magic of place where you dream in a dream with drugs and maybe you'll walk thru the stars.
good luck to all which are full of love.

Might קְנֵה בֹשֶׂם, "k'neih bosem", mentioned in Exodus 30:23, be Cannabis?

Some do contend so.

"And you, take for yourself spices of the finest sort: of pure myrrh five hundred [shekel weights]; of fragrant cinnamon half of it two hundred and fifty [shekel weights]; of fragrant cane two hundred and fifty [shekel weights], and of cassia five hundred [shekel weights] according to the holy shekel, and one hin of olive oil. You shall make this into an oil of holy annoinment, a perfumed compound according to the art of a perfumer; it shall be an oil of holy anointment.

Benet demonstrated that the word for cannabis is kaneh-bosm, also rendered in traditional Hebrew as kaneh or kannabus. The root kan in this construction means "reed" or "hemp", while bosm means "aromatic". This word appears five times in the Old Testament; in the books of Exodus, the Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

The word kaneh-bosm has been mistranslated as calamus, a common marsh plant with little monetary value that does not have the qualities or value ascribed to kaneh-bosm. The error occurred in the oldest Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint
in the third century BC, and was repeated in the many translations that followed."

[sylvius]

Also this is of high interest:

http://www.cannabisculture.com/node/20688


In different publications of A Cyclopaedia of Biblical Literature, the 19th century scholar John Kitto put forth two, potentially related, etymologies for “hashish”, through Hebrew terms Shesh, which originates in reference to some sort of “fibre plant”, and the possibly related word, Eshishah, (E-shesh-ah?) which holds connotations of “syrup” or “unguent”.

“SHESH... also SHESHI, translated fine linen in the Authorized Version, occurs twenty eight times in Exodus, once in Genesis, once in Proverbs, and three times in Ezekiel. Considerable doubts have, however, always been entertained respecting the true meaning of the word

(...)

Shesh... must... be taken into consideration. In several passages where we find the word used, we do not obtain any information respecting the plant; (...) As cotton does not appear to have been known at this very early period, we must seek for shesh among the other fibre yielding plants, such as flax and hemp. Both these are suited to the purpose, and were procurable in those countries at the times specified. (...)
The word shesh, however, appears to us to have a very great resemblance, with the exception of the aspirate, to the Arabic name of a plant, which, it is curious, was also one of those earliest cultivated for its fibre, namely hemp. Of this plant, one of the Arabic names is... husheesh.

which might throw a new light on my "yom hashishi"...


Mark 15:46,

καὶ ἀγοράσας σινδόνα καθελὼν αὐτὸν ἐνείλησεν τῇ σινδόνι καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐν μνημείῳ ὃ ἦν λελατομημένον ἐκ πέτρας, καὶ προσεκύλισεν λίθον ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ μνημείου.


σινδών,n \{sin-done'}
1) linen cloth, esp. that which was fine and costly, in which the bodies of the dead were wrapped 2) thing made of fine cloth 2a) of a light and loose garment worn at night over a naked body

ἐνειλέω,v \{en-i-leh'-o}
to roll in, wind up

[sylvius]

But also the slaying of Abel comes into a new light:

Genesis 4:3,
Now it came to pass at the end of days, that Cain brought of the fruit of the soil an offering to the Lord.

Rashi:

of the fruit of the soil: of the most inferior (Gen. Rabbah 22:5), and there is an Aggadah that states that it was flaxseed (Mid. Tan. Bereishith 9, Targum Jonathan).

Flaxseed , read hempseed.

Cain being the first assassin

(...) the Arabic name of a plant, which, it is curious, was also one of those earliest cultivated for its fibre, namely hemp. Of this plant, one of the Arabic names is... husheesh, or the herb par excellence, the term being sometimes applied to the powdered leaves only, with which an intoxicating electuary is prepared. This name has long been known, and is thought by some to have given origin to our word assassin, or hassasin. Makrizi treats of the hemp in his account of the ancient pleasure grounds in the vicinity of Cairo, “famous above all for the sale of the hasheesha,, which is still greedily consumed by the dregs of the people, and from the consumption of which sprung the excesses, which led to the name of ‘assassin’ being given to the Saracens in the holy wars.”

[sylvius]

Only that hempseeds are not so bad or inferior at all;


http://vegetarian.about.com/od/beverage1/a/what-are-hemp-seeds.htm


Hemp is considered one of the world's most nutritious plants. Hemp seeds contain all of the essential amino acids making them an ideal source of protein for vegans and raw foodists. The essential fatty acids are abundant in hemp seeds and come in a ratio that is highly beneficial to humans. Magnesium, iron, and potassium are in good supply along with fiber. Some of hemp seed's supply of antioxidants comes from its vitamin E content.

Hempseeds nourish the dove = the holy ghost.

Yeah, I've read about that too. It seems plausible. Cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms and other mind altering plants have been known and used for many centuries by mystics.

Yes, but "k'neih bosem" is an ingredient of the holy anointing oil, with which also the Messiah is (will be) smeared, "shemen mishchat-kodesh", from which he derives his name, Christ, the anointed one.

Will be? Are you denying that Jesus was the Messiah?

[sylvius]

Jesus wasn't smeared with the holy anointing oil, and yet (believed to be) the Christ.

Like also Pinchas wasn't anointed, and yet he got an eternal covenant of priesthood (Numbers 25:13)

Rashi:

Although the kehunah had already been given to Aaron’s descendants, it had been given only to Aaron and his sons who were anointed with him, and to their children whom they would beget after their anointment. Phinehas, however, who was born before that and had never been anointed, had not been included in the kehunah until now. And so, we learn in [Tractate] Zevachim [101b],“Phinehas was not made a kohen until he killed Zimri.”

According to Jewish tradition Pinchas became Elijah in his act of killing zimri and Kozbi,
Elijah who is said to have returned as John the Baptist.

[Richard Amiel McGough]

Is that a yes or a no?

[sylvius]

Is that a yes or a no?

Mark 14:61,
But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?


Wasn't the High Priest the one who should have smeared him?

[David M]

I realize this is off topic, but is in connection with the post before this.

The kings or Israel beginning with Saul were anointed by Samuel. Will Jesus undergo a comparable anointing when he takes up his kingly throne in Jerusalem on earth?

Jesus was anointed in different ways not all pertaining to the anointing to kingship following the tradition first done by Samuel.

(Luke 4:18) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; and this was recognized by Peter in Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.


A different anointing is recorded in Luke 7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Jesus goes on to confirm; (v 46) My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
This woman (Mary) was recognizing Jesus as her king and saviour and she anointed him symbolically as befitted his title in the only way that was possible to her.

Peter and John are credited with saying; (Acts 4:25) Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

Jesus was recognized as their king when he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey fulfilling prophecy; (Luke19:38) Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
This was fulfilling Zechariah 9:9; Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

It can be argued that Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah has already been anointed and accepted as king and therefore when he returns, he does not need to be formally anointed before taking up the throne in Jerusalem.

(Luke 2:39) And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Did more take place than is not recorded in detail. Mary presented Jesus in the temple as was prescribed by the law and we take that to be have been done, but could an anointing also have taken place and had all this been done by the High Priest of the time? What is the anointing to which Peter refers had already been done (Acts 4:25) by the people?

Here is a prophecy that has not been fulfilled and is speaking of a time to come when all families of the earth will have to go up to Jerusalem to worship the king enthroned there; (Zechariah 14:7) And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King ...,
