The Melchizedek Chronicles - A Timely Reminder for the Christmas Holidays - What happened to spiritual values in America? Is God Dead Yet? - Do Christians, Muslims and Jews share a co-dependence on each other for survival?


The 12 Days of Christmas and Holy Week in America - What Happened to Spiritual Values?

First comes the 12 Days of Christmas and soon after it is Holy Week, a time of reverence in the world when people of all faiths should be focused on the values that helped shape America when the Founding Fathers were debating on the type of Republic America must be to help it overcome the factors that ultimately destroyed all major civilizations in the world, immorality and corruption.



From the first days of the American Revolution it became clear that this was to be the first Republic in world history to fully embrace individual freedom, with guarantees written into the Constitution, and the first Republic to embrace the following concept articulated in the Declaration of Independence.



"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."



Certain unalienable Rights endowed by their Creator. Historic and powerful, yet steeped in spirituality like no other previous form of government. Article 3 of the US Constitution Bill of Rights further clarified the role of spirituality in America with the following statement of religious freedom.



"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."



Beginning with the Founding Fathers the phrase "In God We Trust" was used as an unofficial motto of the USA until it was finally made a law in the 1950's, about the same time the Pledge of Allegiance was modified to include the words "under God" which reads "one nation under God". The linkage between God or the Creator and America is clear.



So, while Christmas and Holy Week are times of revered religious observances it is also a time to rededicate ourselves to our principles and foundation. It matters not whether you are Christian, Islam or Jewish there is significance to this time. More than that, all three trace their roots to the Holy Land and Jerusalem.

Followers of Judaism hold Passover sacred as the time to honor the escape of the Jews from Egypt, when Moses led them to the Promised Land.

The Christian and Islam followers honor Jesus as the Messiah during this time as they represent the beginning and end of his earthly mission. To the Christians he performed the sacrament of the Eucharist at the Last Supper then died and was resurrected as a symbol of everlasting life in the Kingdom of God.



Through the Islam Holy Quran we discover the following:

Many do not know that the true spirit of charity which the Muslim displays, always, towards Jesus and his mother Mary spring from the fountainhead of his faith - the Holy Quran. He does not know that the Muslim does not take the holy name of Jesus, in his own language, without saying Eesa, alaihi assalam ("Jesus, peace be upon him")

We do not know that in the Holy Quran Jesus is mentioned twenty-five times. For example:

"We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit" (The Holy Quran 2:87)

"O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary..." (3:45)

"...Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of god..." (4:171)

"...And in their foot steps we sent Jesus the son of Mary..." (5:46)

"And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous." (6:85)

Though Jesus is mentioned by name in twenty-five places in the Holy Quran, he is also addressed with respect as: Ibn Maryam, meaning "The son of Mary"; and as the Maseeh (in Hebrew it is the Messiah), which is translated as "Christ". He is also known as Abdullah, "The servant of Allah"; and as Rasul u Allah, the messenger of Allah.



He is spoken of as "The Word of God", as "The Spirit of God", as a "Sign of God", and numerous other epithets of honor spread over fifteen different chapters. The Holy Quran honors this mighty messenger of God, and the Muslims have not fallen short over the past fourteen hundred years in doing the same.

In eight verses from Holy Quran, verses 42 to 49 we are told:
(a) That Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a virtuous woman, and honored above the women of all nations.
(b) That all that was being said was God's own Revelation to mankind.
(c) That Jesus was the "Word" of God.
(d) That he was the Christ that the Jews were waiting for.
(e) That God will empower this Jesus to perform miracles even in infancy.
(f) That Jesus was born miraculously, without any male intervention.
(g) That God will vouchsafe him Revelation.
(h) That he will give life to the dead by God's permission, and that he will heal those born blind and the lepers by God's permission, etc.



About the only difference between Christians and followers of Islam when it comes to Jesus and His mother Mary is He is considered the Son of God to Christians and the Mighty Messenger of God in the Holy Quran. Christians believe He died and was resurrected while in the Holy Quran He was taken by Allah. Is that really so different?



All three faiths agree that we must have faith in God (Allah). All three agree that we must follow the Ten Commandments. All three faiths have Holy Scripture that tell much of the same story.



If we honor all faiths in America then we must show respect for all faiths as a Constitutional responsibility. There can be no hatred, no condemnation of other faiths, no disrespect of the Holy Scriptures of all faiths and there must be a rededication by all people to the truths of these Holy teachings.



America is the great experiment. It was the first nation on Earth to guarantee religious freedom. In proclaiming these certain unalienable rights from the Creator we set ourselves apart from all other nations and civilizations and we must never forget it. If we are true to our Constitution and individual scripture there is no room for immorality and corruption in America.

Christmas and Holy Week would seem to be the right time to remember our roots, to honor our common responsibilities, and defend our sacred duties to our Creator.

The Melchizedek Chronicles - In our darkest moments Jesus will never give up on us - God's Grace touches all.



‘I forgive you': Botham Jean's brother Brandt hugs Amber Guyger after she gets 10 years in prison


What a moment in the courtroom. Botham Jean's brother Brandt took the opportunity to forgive Amber Guyger, tell her to devote her life to Christ, and then asked the judge if he could give Guyger a hug. The judge, wiping tears from her eyes, allowed the moment to happen.

A miracle took place in the midst of the chaos and darkness that has fallen on our Earth as the brother of a murder victim addressed the female policewoman who was convicted of his brother's murder.



Jesus, for a moment, blocked all darkness from the world and through this young man enabled us to see the power of God and the meaning of forgiveness as Jesus taught us.



In a courtroom in Texas at the end of a tragic trial the grace of God was displayed through this young man and the judge reminding us that no matter how bad things get God will never give up on us.



Then the Judge demonstrated how mysterious God's grace works.

The Melchizedek Chronicles - “Emotions” are the Missing Link in Our Spiritual Evolution - Your projection of the Truth!


So, Emotions are the missing link, what do they have to do with our spiritual evolution?  According to Melchizedek, just about everything.  Emotions are the expression of the heart which is the bridge to the Soul.


If the Soul is your moral and ethical foundation, then Emotions are the expression of Truth and the degree of passion you feel for the Truth.  It is how you communicate and project the Truth to those around you.
     

Do you suppress your own emotional response to your own beliefs?  Do you embrace the Truth of others because it seems to be the most popular thing to do?  Do you then fall victim to joining a “cause” that may or may not be consistent with what you believe?


Why would you do such a thing?  There are many reasons.  Mostly, you do this to be accepted, recognized, or noticed by others.  Of course, you also do it because you fear the alternative of acting independently or alone.

There is a safety in numbers, being lost in the crowd, being a faithful follower rather than a leader.  In the end, however, you are a hypocrite because you forfeit your own beliefs and adopt the cause of others while you suppress your own self-improvement and forgo embracing the Christ Consciousness in all of us.


Fear is the driving force in our withdrawal from human communication which is the cornerstone for our emotions.  Emotions are a gift from Father Creator.  They were given to help us communicate with, understand, and coordinate with other humans.

By expressing the full range of our emotion, we telegraph our mood, needs, frustrations, and joys.  Long ago we were a world of tribes, families, and clans.  Emotions were our vehicle to communicate.


“Communicate, care, share, be there to help, and always have someone to help you.”

Here is one of my favorite posters from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass."


Why not believe six impossible things before breakfast?  Sound like a miracle worker?  Guess what, the Creator made us in his image and likeness.  His Son Jesus said if only we had faith in God’s love for us, demonstrated by our own existence, we could move mountains.

Yet we still deny ourselves our birthright, sharing in God’s Perfect Love.  We claim to be religious, or at a minimum, spiritual.  In truth we are neither.  We are pawns in someone else’s chess game.  To enter the game, we had to give up our own beliefs for the higher good served by the “cause.”


Once upon a time embracing and sharing emotion was the tribal foundation, the cornerstone of the clan, and the human touch for humanity.  It gave us the courage to be something.  We felt it magnified our personal commitment to God, morality, justice and truth.

Without the distraction of modern technology there were no virtual identities, no Facebook pages to hide behind, no texting to replace human contact.  We were yet to become victims of digital slavery like today.


The expression of emotion in days long gone by was the purest form of communication between humans, transcending even the spoken word that was lost amidst the many languages and dialects spoken throughout time.


Melchizedek says emotions, when expressed, are the truest barometers of truth.  Like truth, emotions carry their own unique frequency so no matter the language or the context of their use, our expression of emotion is “truth.”

“Find the frequency of “truth” and you will never be fooled by lies and deception.  Find the frequency of “emotion” and you have the pathway to discovering “truth.”


So next time you decide to join a cause, make certain the truth behind the cause is known to you.  You do not need to be a pawn in someone else’s game.

God created you, all of us, to be unique.  God gave you the gift of magic to allow you to help heal others and help them find their path back to the Garden.  Everything is God’s creation and is necessary for our spiritual evolution.


Emotion is one of the greatest gifts we were given.  But if you hide your emotions you not only deny your best expression of truth but deny others the chance to find the truth in you.

We seek Oneness with Father Creator in His eternal kingdom.  That gives us Oneness with all of creation as well.


You were given free will and make your own decisions on how to use your emotions.  You were also given just two Commandments by God’s Son Jesus to guide you back to the Garden.

  1. Love the Father as He loves you.
  2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
In order to demonstrate you get it, you must share your emotions to project your truth to others, to draw to you like-minded souls, and to reject those predators of the Dark working to seduce your soul and destroy your eternal salvation.

Hatred, the polarity to love, is the driving force behind the mood in the nation and the world.  Powered by fear and energized by emotional passion, it is a dangerous force for success in that hating means the destruction of what you hate.  It is truly a creation of man, not of a loving God.


“In truth, all hate is bad because it is a manifestation of evil.  All bias is bad because it is a manipulation of evil to distort truth.”

 You can disagree with others as long as you respect their right to disagree with you.  Our failure to respect all is the basis for the breakdown in values and morality today.


No honest lightworker of today would condemn, hate, or destroy others for their beliefs and actions.  No truthful healer, teacher, friend or mentor could harbor the intensity of hate as seen on television news every night and still be serving the interest of God.


Those of us caught up in the vile and vicious nature of news media, social media, and causes condoning such tactics are not champions of good – they are the epitome of all that is contrary to the Christ Consciousness.

They are not leaders to the light but destroyers of all that is truthful and necessary for our redemption and salvation.  Where do you stand in seeking to advance the spiritual salvation?  Are you a Seeker of Truth and Light or a pawn of the Dark Side seeking to destroy all hope for salvation?


Pray for guidance in expressing emotions in the frequency of truth.  That is the path of Jesus.  Pray to control your emotions in order to seek the light and find the truth.

To be successful in your prayers and be heard, Jesus said we must first acknowledge the Father’s Love in creating us, and our love for the Creator for giving us life, a soul, and spirit to find the path back to the Garden.


“There is no exclusion in salvation, all are welcomed home.”

Seek to express truth, respect, forgiveness and hope in all you do, say and manifest, and you will be on the path home.  Seek always and you will find the elusive gift of faith so necessary to return to Oneness with the Creator and all that is Creation.


Find and embrace your own Truth and empower it for all others with the unlimited power of your passion through your Emotions.

The Melchizedek Chronicles- Fallen Catholics – Where do they turn for help when they feel abandoned by their Church?



Are you becoming more like they want you to be than yourself?  If so, what are you going to do about it?

In a world dominated by fear, hatred, distrust and all those other tools of the Dark Side it is not surprising many are questioning whether they are being abandoned by a Church caught up in denial and a morality crisis of their own making.


First, we must consider if you are really a victim or are you a causal Catholic looking for an excuse to not participate actively in church activities.  If you are a true believer in the teaching of Jesus, then you are a true victim.  If you are a Catholic slacker then you have little to lose in the current church morality crisis.


What is a true believer?

Melchizedek, the overseer of God’s Creation for all Souls on Earth, not just Roman Catholics, sharply distinguishes between the institution of religion and the spirituality of God’ word.  There can be no more powerful weapon to protect you than to embrace the Creator’s Truth, because the Creator’s Truth is the Creator’s Will.  Embrace the Truth and you will live the Creator’s Will.

Knowing something is a uniquely human process.  We seek.  We find.  We validate.  We embrace.  Yet knowing, in and of itself, is a first step, not the answer.  Knowing the Creator’s Truth requires more than the first step.  It requires you to believe what you know is true in the eyes of God.


It requires unwavering Faith.  Only then can your knowing become the wisdom necessary to reinforce your Faith, and enlighten you to embrace God’s Will.  Many can know something, even the Creator’s Truth, but having Faith requires much more.

We must take that knowing and transform ourselves into living and sharing that Truth.  If we do not transform the Truth into our everyday lives it can only be a self-serving impulse, not a spiritual insight.

In other words, just knowing something to be true by using the intuitive and instinctive gifts God gave you is only half the battle.  Living it as an example and sharing it with others who cannot find it on their own is fulfillment of the Creator’s Will.


So, what are we supposed to know?

First, we need to understand we live in an imperfect world here on Earth.  Whatever we are experiencing in this time and place is but a snapshot in time.  It is the point we have evolved to but does not reflect where we are going or how to complete our journey.

According to Melchizedek, the essence of God’s Creation is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  It is a never-ending spiral through time of learning, then knowing, then living the Creator’s Will.


It is the journey of the Soul through time and space yet the Soul is free of all the limitations of our physical world.  You stand in your physical world for a lifetime on Earth, what Melchizedek calls living “in time.”

Yet thanks to the spiritual nature of the Soul, you also stand in the spiritual world beyond time and space, what Melchizedek calls living “outside of time,” beyond the limitations of gravity, death and even your mind.


God’s Creation, which we inhabit, is a never-ending series of cycles through time, what Melchizedek calls the Human Life Cycles of Earth.  It is a time of constant creation, regeneration, evolution and procreation.

Our physical world is every bit as immortal as the Soul, because it keeps growing, expanding, creating and regenerating whether it be humans, plants, animals, planets, stars, suns or solar systems and galaxies.

Inherent within the Soul is the knowledge that we are all instruments of God’s Creation.  Your spiritual Soul knows, but it needs the power of the Holy Spirit to awaken your mind to your part in God’s Plan.


That is why God sent his Son to re-awaken us to our amazing potential as Creations of God.

You are not bound by anything in your time on Earth except sharing in the perfect love of the God who created you.  You are not a hostage to your DNA, bloodlines or any other genetic conditions because your body and mind are simply the vehicles needed to get you here on Earth.

Jesus was sent to teach you the path to redemption and salvation, and to show you your potential to transfigure, to resurrect from the dead, and to ascend into the Heavens to be One with your Creator.


Transfigure, resurrect and ascend, these are powerful, even miraculous abilities far exceeding our physical existence on Earth.  These are available to you because Jesus taught about it, that we are not a hostage to Earth because our Soul and Spirit transcend our physical life.

The Son of God came in human form to show our potential, even as humans.  He came to remind us God created us out of perfect Love, gave us a Soul and Free Will out of perfect Love, and in so doing gave us the means to find eternal life after death through Oneness with our Creator.


The wonders of God’s Creation, reflects all things spiritual and physical, for both are necessary to find our path home.  The human cycle of living and dying is the physical aspect, but it diminishes in importance when compared to your spiritual path, the Soul’s Journey, while in the Kingdom of Heaven.

That is what our Creator gave us.  To help us we were also given divinely inspired beings such as angels, saints to walk among us, adepts to stimulate powerful shifts in the direction of our spiritual evolution, and even spiritual beings to manifest as humans to help show us the way.  Jesus, his Mother Mary, even the Magdalen are divine spirits who walked the Earth to help us find our way back to the Garden, back to Oneness with the Creator.

So far I have not mentioned the religious institutions on Earth because nothing stands between your Soul and the Creator.  God gave you Free Will, the Soul and Spirit so you could make the journey home.


Religion is a human creation, or institution, an honest effort to provide structure for finding our path home, but an institution subject to all the flaws, temptations, fears and difficulties of the humans who formed or maintain the religions.

If people listened to their heart and Soul instead of their mind and the doubts it can generate there would be no need for any religion because all Souls are Created by the Creator.  Unfortunately, we let our logical mind dominate our enlightened Soul which results in spiritual chaos since the Soul alone is our moral and ethical foundation for God’s Plan.


We humans tend to overthink everything and this is no exception.  Jesus said it best.  He said only two commandments needed to be followed to achieve eternal salvation.  Love the Creator, and love our neighbors as ourselves.”  That is it!

The life of Jesus taught us how to live in the grace of God.  The pillars of God’s grace are measured by compassion, empathy, faith, hope, joy, selflessness, and the love expressed to others.  Spiritual wealth is measured by the Souls you touched on your journey and helped them on their journey.


That is the Will of God, the teaching of Jesus, and the reason for any religious institution to exist.  No religion can stop you from living the Will of God.  No religion can stop you from living in a state of grace.

Yet all religions can defy the purpose of God’s Creation if they become hostages to their own dogma, seek to become the judge of people thus usurping the role of God, or stop spiritually evolving toward God’s Truth.


Institutional bureaucracy is the inherent Achilles Heel to all religions.  If religions become complacent, if they think they know God’s Truth, they stop spiritually evolving, they become more concerned with self-preservation than saving Souls, then they have lost their way, not you.

When you accept your relationship with the Creator, learn from the teaching of Jesus, and use your Free Will in a manner consistent with the Creator’s Will, you will never feel alone or abandoned by God.


Jesus taught that “upon this rock I shall build my church.”  I do not believe he meant Peter, the Apostles, the pope, cardinals, bishops or priests.  Nor do I think he meant any basilica, cathedral, church or shrine.  He meant the Earth literally.

Every minute we spend on Mother Earth is spent in the Temple of God throughout our lives.  We do not pick and choose when we will follow God’s Will or not.  We must always follow the teachings of Jesus and live God’s Will.  Put your Faith in them and nothing can break your bonds with the Creator.


Faith is knowing God’s Truth.  The Christ Consciousness is living God’s Will.  
  
Finally, just remember that God forgives, not just you but all actions counter to God’s Will, the Truth.  If your religion, in spite of the troubles, truly can serve the teaching of Jesus and Will of God, it will recover, repent, regenerate and renew itself over time and through the grace of God.


Of course, if you are living in the state of grace of God’s Will, you will most likely want to help those wayward religious institutions heal so they can help other people find the path home.
