Conversations with Melchizedek - Knowledge and Wisdom, what is the difference?

.

Albert Einstein once said;


No wonder the genius of Einstein appealed so much to the forces of Creation.  Einstein understood the importance of information.  Information led to knowledge and that was a good thing.  Once you possessed the knowledge, you needed to figure out what to do with it.


That took wisdom?


Some speculated it did.  I mean what are you going to do with a brain full of knowledge?  Therefore, I turned to the "experts" for defining knowledge and wisdom, Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary - Since 1828.


I am not at all intimidated by the "1828" year, as if 189 years in the business makes them an expert on the English language.  If English was first used (Old English) in the year 1066, it is 951 years old, thus Merriam has been around 20% (19.8% to be exact) as long as the English language.


Well, when I looked the definitions up online I realized two things, our Millennial generation is in real trouble, and Melchizedek's warnings to us about how slavery today is more rampant than in the time of Jesus is becoming apparent.


Addiction to technology, dependence on machine generated knowledge, and obsession with building firewalls between you and other people, is a textbook case of how really bad stuff can change the future of our world.


The most important gift the Creator gave you is your imagination, because it empowers you to improve the very Creation we were given, our earth and our life. What better reflects the essence of all of Creation than the ability to create, a task limited only by the scope of your imagination.


If you out-source your creative abilities to artificial intelligence, in other words let the smart phone figure things out for you, you just sold your soul to the dark side.  You are now addicted to technology, you are now dependent on knowledge from artificial intelligence to function.


Worse yet, by out-sourcing your creative gift to artificial intelligence you have now severed your only direct connection to the Creator.  Your ability to use imagination and creative energy to serve the Creator's will is over.


You now manifest one of your greatest fears, the fear of losing your independence.  Your obsession and dependence on the technological wonderland before you makes You a physical and psychological Slave to technology, and serving the shadowy mischief-makers and evil doers you truly abhor.


However, hope is eternal to your Creator.  After all, you are the Creator's creation along with everything else in your world.  Do you think he could ever abandon his Creations?  He knew that the act of using the imagination to create was the most important pursuit we could undertake to please Him, our Creator.


So what is the scientific explanation for this most extraordinary mechanism of creation?
 

The foundation of our world and all galaxies is the Trinity of the Christ Consciousness, and the love of the Creator for all Creations, the Trinity being the building block of mankind's reality, known as the atom.


The fact is each atom contains a proton, neutron, and electron, the Creation Trinity, according to Melchizedek.  

Every atom is composed of a nucleus and one or more electrons bound to the nucleus. The nucleus is made of one or more protons and typically a similar number of neutrons. Protons and neutrons are called nucleons. More than 99.94% of an atom's mass is in the nucleus.


The protons have a positive electric charge, the electrons have a negative electric charge, and the neutrons have no electric charge. If the number of protons and electrons are equal, that atom is electrically neutral. If an atom has more or fewer electrons than protons, then it has an overall negative or positive charge, respectively, and it is called an ion.

The electrons of an atom are attracted to the protons in an atomic nucleus by this electromagnetic force. The protons and neutrons in the nucleus are attracted to each other by a different force, the nuclear force, which is usually stronger than the electromagnetic force repelling the positively charged protons from one another.


Under certain circumstances, the repelling electromagnetic force becomes stronger than the nuclear force, and nucleons can be ejected from the nucleus, leaving behind a different element: nuclear decay resulting in nuclear transmutation.

In other words, the foundation of Creation is the polarity within the Trinity of the Christ Consciousness.  That polarity resembles an hourglass with the narrow bridge bringing the two sides together in the middle.  That is the point where harmony can be achieved between polarities, as well as the creative explosion that results.


The imagination guides the creative energy by dreaming, then materializing the dream.  Your reality is what you manifest and group manifestation magnifies the power of the dream when becoming real.

It is neither knowledge, nor wisdom, that is our most important tool, it is the imagination as the driving force of all others, guiding the creative energy and creating the plan of action for the use of knowledge and wisdom.


As for the Millennial generation and their slavery, you are allowing yourselves to be seduced into permanent technology slavery at the same time you have compromised your most valuable tools for survival and necessary spiritual enlightenment.  Protect your imagination, or sacrifice your salvation to artificial intelligence, your choice.


As for the source material for our smart phone addicted generation, the following is the Dictionary definition for knowledge and wisdom from Merriam-Webster Since 1828.  After reading it, I have no clue what the artificial intelligence is talking about.  If this is educating America, we are in serious trouble.

Perhaps it is time the Millennials consider a change of course.  Or, they can continue to blindly allow the usurpation of their precious gift of imagination and face the consequences.  We love you either way, as we are all creations of the Creator.

The Facebook Blues - What Happens to Facebook When People Run Out of Things to Say?

.

Aren’t We All Suffering From 'Facebook Depression?'

So once we become a member of Facebook and achieve immortality as a viral digit what happens when we finally run out of things to say?  It sounds like a good question to me.  I've been on Facebook several years and watched a lot of people come and go although the digital world is reluctant to let go of you long after you cease to be a member.

You see those mythical clicks still generate money for the social media types and it never really mattered whether you read the advert, clicked through the adverts, withdrew from membership, or even died.  For some strange reason they expect you to notify them in the event of your death and then they may carry a tribute page for you until you return from the grave to cut it off.


Yet there is also the problem of what to do when you do run out of things to say.  I must say I thought it was impossible for some people to run out of words.  It was as if they had a bionic mind attached to bionic fingers pounding out an endless stream of sense and nonsense on social media.

However, as I tracked them over time I noticed there was an obvious sequence of steps that indicated they were slipping into a stage of intellectual constipation, followed by a bout with subject drought, each step bringing shorter and shorter messages.  Soon Tweets replace talks and life was limited to 140 characters, minus the length of your username.


Soon they were posting automatic e-birthday greetings and calling it a digital-days work.  By now, the kids were grown, details on every possible disease were painstakingly provided, they described numerous physical calamities, and by now their story was becoming boring even to themselves.  The addiction was complete but the withdrawal was a distant pipedream.

Now that is a problem.  So, they entered the Freudian stage of self-analysis and concluded that they very well might be the most boring person they knew.  Self-awareness leads directly to writers block as one debates the cause of their condition and realizes it all is a direct result of being mentally abused as a child or being a lifelong Democrat.


Either way they now turn their attention to finding a lawyer and deciding whether to sue their parents, school, siblings, or political procrastinators on television for their woes.  Then they have to decide whether to make it a class action suit on behalf of their siblings, or extend it to everyone in the entire digital world.

Unfortunately, a class action in the digital world might be hard to pull off when there are 597 million Americans on Facebook, and only 310 million Americans alive.  Obama never mentioned we could have 287 million illegal digital immigrants, or illegal aliens as Republicans like to say.


Anyway, we are reaching the point where we desperately need help for the virtual captive, digital addict, and Facebook fool.  There is always intervention, or group therapy, private counseling,  or prescription drugs.  You see, unlike illegal drugs, prescription (legal) drugs contribute to the economy and if you get enough prescriptions you are bound to find one that works.

Today the news media said that 50% of all people given legally prescribed addictive narcotic painkillers for a 30 day period are still using them three years later.
 

The painkillers in question "include things like codeine, morphine, and brand names like Percocet and Vicodin,"

"Now more people die from overdose of these prescription drugs than from cocaine and heroin overdose combined."

About 1 in 3 people taking prescription painkillers were also on some type of anti-anxiety or muscle relaxant prescription, according to the report, "A Nation in Pain," which was produced by Express Scripts.


The report found that among patients using opioids on a long-term basis, 30 percent had also filled a prescription for benzodiazepines, short-acting anti-anxiety drugs such as Xanax (alprazolam) and Ativan (lorazepam).

Nearly 30 percent of patients who took opioids also had a prescription for muscle relaxants. Approximately 8 percent of patients were taking all three medications at the same time.


Since the combination of these drugs can be lethal, meaning it kills you dead, then about 60% of people taking legal prescription narcotic painkillers are clearly suicidal since they should know the risk.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the U.S. accounts for only 5 percent of the world's population, yet as a country we consume at least 75 percent of all opioid prescription drugs - including 99 percent of the world's hydrocodone, the opiate that is in Vicodin.


The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that overdose deaths from these drugs quadrupled from 1999 to 2010.

Experts say most of those prescriptions are unnecessary. The United States makes up only 4.6 percent of the world's population, but consumes 80 percent of its opioids -- and 99 percent of the world's hydrocodone, the opiate that is in Vicodin.


Who is prescribing all that Vicodin? More than 600,000 doctors, from surgeons to podiatrists, are licensed by the Durg Enforcement Agency to prescribe the drug. At the top of the list of pain relief prescribers are primary care doctors, followed by internists and then dentists. According to many critics, doctors often prescribe Vicodin because it is not as tightly regulated as other narcotic pain relievers are, although it is just as dangerous.


Now just who are your friends?
