The scorning and the crowning with thorns, through the Painters
caravaggio eccehomo 1606
I wrote this few days ago, on the 16th, but had still some things to correct in the english, and that is why it comes out now, a bit later.
“But to repent signifies to be merciful”. Swedenborg, Arcana Coelestia, 587
“For all mankind are evil, and of himself every one would rush into hell, wherefore it is of mercy that he is delivered thence.” AC, 587
What does this mean?
It means that probably all of us — receptors of the Divine — can as well be influenced by others, can “fall”. For instance, what did I do in other lives? I don’t know. I guess…. Or lets put it another way: if I had grown up with or had only known extremely cruel people… Like others, I would be influenced, and maybe do that too. This is what this means. What it means is the same as when the Eastern says “all is God”. Or when, in one passage, I don’t remember which, Swedenborg describes the following scene in the spiritual world: some spirits are creating a beautiful gift for Christ, and at the end they are all happy and cheering. Swedenborg tells them then that all they did, was coming from God, and not from themselves. And they were surprised for they were not aware, and felt it was from themselves.
This is a beautiful theme which keeps coming back in Swedenborg, explained in a great way. So what Swedenborg is saying can be seen as very condemnatory of the human being. For he is saying that all the good comes only from God. Or it can be understood as the mystics do, when they finally say “all they see is God, all is God”.
Then it becomes quite clear, what it means that all Good is God and comes from God.
Swedenborg explains evil as what happens when human beings start being very powerful, and they think it comes from them, as it happened in the past to some of the very advanced human beings, of the Most Ancient Church. That’s how their religion finally deteriorated, very very slowly, with the time, bit by bit…
Então cuspiram no rosto de Jesus e o esbofetearam. Outros lhe deram bordoadas, dizendo: “Faz-nos uma profecia, Cristo, quem foi que te bateu?”
Of course the whole issue is hammered by the Eastern spiritual teachers too. But still there are many questions about it, and I find the way that Swedenborg exposes it, very helpful:
He says we need to feel we are doing things as of ourselves, yet knowing or remembering that they come from God.
Further, Swedenborg’s exposure, replies to the atheist or sceptic, or non-christian, or previous christian, who talk with contempt of God, who let his son suffer such a fate among human beings, to save them.
The crucifixion is not what saves people!
Jesus suffered all that, because he had to undergo the temptations and processes of human beings, and he underwent all this, in a way that he has defeated evil from the Earth.
Although people think otherwise, the truth is that without his message of love, which we learn so badly and slowly, humanity would be even more lost and in a more advanced state of cruelty. He fought with the evil, yea, with evil spirits, with hell. And in his conquering brought salvation to Earth. But that doesn’t mean that “we are saved, because Jesus was crucified, and we believe”.
I agree with all the people who think that that can not be true.
And the catholic faith, in the past, always defended the same as Swedenborg in this respect.
So Jesus crucifixion is much more then what we think, actually.
But it doesn’t substitute neither our private paths, nor the need for us to stop the cruel inhumanity which humanity has created.
So, when Swedenborg is saying that human beings are bad, it means that without God, humans (remember them getting tyrant powers…) do NOT, can NOT succeed in making a better society ! For ultimately, all good is God and comes from God. It’s like light. We may become stars. But what is a star without the light?
Thus the Crucifixion, is, historically speaking, the volunteer confrontation that Jesus had with evil because it does exist: it comes between us and a path of joy, it oppresses US, individually and collectively, sending the earth into a path of steel and concrete, of mechanical and materialistic “transformation” of the organisms and human beings into advanced controlled machines, with even much less consciousness, freedom, love and compassion.
It’s not for nothing that the Resurrection, in the world of Spirit, is celebrated in it’s correspondence on earth with the coming back of Spring and Life. The reason is that the real Life is not the coming back of Nature, but Life is the Spirit which inhabits Nature.

Filhinhos
Voltemos por um momento ao tempo em que estávamos todos muito contentes, com a perspectiva deste pão, e de irmos fazer coisas muito boas:
A respeito da inteligência : Quando perguntaram a Jesus o que era o principal de tudo, enfim, o principal mandamento, porque era um judeu a perguntar, se fosse um de nós, tinha perguntado: o que é mais importante eu fazer?
E Jesus respondeu: amar a Deus com toda a alma, com todo o coração, e com todo o entendimento.
Hein? Que frase incrível.
Com toda a tua alma, é portanto… enfim… o que é a alma para vocês ?
Depois, com todo o teu sentir, sentimento – todo o teu coração. Fogo é muito. Mas às vezes não pensamos na alma um pouco como no coração? Não dizemos que a alma está guardada no coração ? É por isso que é interessante, não sei o que está no original, mas é interessante ele não dizer, ao que parece, espírito, por exemplo, mas com toda a alma, com todo o teu ser, o teu ser interno.
Depois, com todo o coração: portanto assim como amamos o nosso amor e os nossos filhos, ou mais.
E por fim — e era aí que eu queria chegar — com todo o entendimento !
Ora bem, todas aquelas pessoas que se queixam da fé ser contra a inteligência, ser para pessoas que não pensam, ser contra a razão. Está lá, “com todo o entendimento” !!!
Não diz que é uma coisa de fé sobre a qual não se possa pensar, ou que não se possa entender! São as palavras do próprio Jesus… “com todo o entendimento”.
É preciso fazermos possível o entendimento.
Não podermos entender, é uma das razões principais de depressões, de problemas e dificuldades, de coisas que nos travam, e que impedem a comunicação entre os seres humanos.

Estudos sobre a abertura ao Verbo, o Logos e o Antigo Testamento
A resposta é não, se nos referirmos a todas as pessoas, e sim, se nos referirmos a, pelo menos, suficientes. E isso por muitas razões. O que não é o tema deste post, além de que são tantas, que eu não conseguiria nome-á-las. No entanto, essas muitas são a necessidade de eu dedicar tanto do meu tempo e forças a este tema, e a atravessar a depressão que a linguagem do Antigo Testamento provoca.
Sobre a nossa relação com o Verbo, o Logos, a abertura das ideias contidas num pensamento ou numa palavra das Escrituras Sagradas
Apêndice ao assunto acima, devido a ser uma pergunta premente — sendo o que se segue no entanto, uma pequena parte de algo a desenvolver muito mais:
( Direitos reservados de autor!
Nota: os parágrafos dados com AC… são traduções muito livres acrescentadas de comentários a esses mesmos parágrafos de Swedenborg: não citações.
Os parágrafos sem nada, são os meus pensamentos.
lol – faz falta aquele estudo universitário etc etc. )
Ps – e o dia já vai curto, e há tanto que fazer: a ver se uso as bolas! :D

Origens Calvinistas e Presbiterianas da Constituição Maçónica
Nos dias que correm, milhares de anglo-saxões clamam gritam e insultam o “Vaticano”, “os Jesuítas”, a Igreja católica, como sendo os satânicos de planos diabólicos de posse do mundo, causa de todos os males que ocoreem, os illuminati, os próprios maçons.O meu objectivo neste artigo, não é defender nem uns nem outros, mas estudar a maçonaria, esclarecer-me.
A origem da maçonaria moderna, não é somente anglo-saxónica. É protestante: judaico-protestante.
Porquê o nome de “rito escocês” sendo o rito pai, e porquê que a maçonaria foi fundada na Escócia? Bem, pode haver mais porquês, mas exteriormente, os presbiterianos e a Igreja Presbiteriana têm um papel crucial nas suas origens e na sua constituição. Vou demonstrá-lo.
As citações em inglês que se seguem são dos artigos cujas ligações inseri. O texto é bi-lingue.
A Maçonaria foi introduzida na Itália, com uma Loja Inglesa, fundada por um inglês, em 1737, na cidade de Florença.
A primeira Obediência portuguesa foi o Grande Oriente Lusitano, reconhecido pela Grande Loja de Inglaterra em 12 de Maio de 1802. O seu primeiro grão-mestre foi um neto do Marquês de Pombal.
O M. de Pombal enterrou os projectos de P. António Vieira para o Reino de Cristo na Terra no caixote do lixo… e abraçou os planos anglo-saxónicos. Os protestantes já há dois séculos era amamentados desde o berço com o ódio aos católicos, jesuítas, ordens religiosas. Saíu-lhes o equivalente à sorte grande, ao terem um membro como o Marquês de Pombal… E Deus pareceu estar do lado deles, em 1755. Ou será que…. já em 1755…?

“As Constituições de Anderson – redigidas em 1723, veneradas e respeitadas por toda a Maçonaria – viriam esclarecer que o templo de pedra deixava de ser a tarefa do maçon: o edifício a ser levantado em honra e glória ao Grande Arquitecto do Universo passaria a ser a catedral do Universo, ou seja, a Humanidade“. ~ História da Maçonaria em Portugal
(uma ideia bonita aliás, com que concordo)
“The Constitutions of the Free-Masons (1734). An Online Electronic Edit” by James Anderson A.M., Benjamin Franklin et al..
II
James Anderson A.M.,
Foi um pastor protestante escocês, Presbiteriano, isto é, portanto, Calvinista; e Maçon.
- He was ordained a minister in the Church of Scotland in 1707 and moved to London, where he ministered to the Glass House Street congregation until 1710, to the Presbyterian church in Swallow Street until 1734, and at Lisle Street Chapel until his death. He is reported to have lost a large sum of money in the South Sea Company crash of 1720.
- Anderson is best known, however, for his association with Freemasonry. He was Master of a Masonic lodge, and a Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of London and Westminster.
Foi este pastor presbiteriano, James Anderson, que foi encarregado pela Grande Loja de Inglaterra, de mudar a velha *constituição gótica* num novo e melhor método. Esta referência ao repúdio do gótico, para “optar por um método melhor”, foi feita também a respeito da arquitectura de Alexander Thomson. Voltarei a isso mais tarde.
Que fosse ele o escolhido para ser o redactor de um documento tão importante como as Constiuições da Maçonaria, nada teve de especial, porque a maioria dos maçons eram protestantes, e muitos presbiterianos, calvinistas, mais tarde episcopais, da Igreja anglicana nos EUA. Que fosse um católico é que seria impossível. Aliás porque os católicos não eram admitidos, nem o seriam durante muito tempo.
- When, in 1721, on the revival of freemasonry in England, the grand lodge determined to produce an authoritative digest of the Constitutions of the fraternity, the task was assigned to him (Entick’s edition (1747) of the Constitutions, p. 194 et seq.). It was as a grand warden of the lodge that he presented to it, on completing his task, The Constitutions of the Free-Masons; containing the History, Charges, Regulations, &c. of that Most Ancient and Right Worshipful Fraternity. For the Use of the Lodges. London. In the year of Masonry 5723, Anno Domini 1723.
- “The Charges of a Free-
Mason” and the “General Regulations” concern rules of conduct for individuals and of governance for Lodges and their officers.
The work also includes five songs to be sung at meetings, one of which—“A New Song”—appears in print for the first time and may have been composed by Franklin. - The document suggests that Masonry, in its modern Anglo-American form, was rooted in Old Testament exegesis (“So that the Israelites, at their leaving Egypt, were a whole Kingdom of Masons, … under the Conduct of their GRAND MASTER MOSES”) and in contemporary Protestant ideals of morality, merit, and political equality.”

Protestantismo, Calvinismo e o O Grande Arquitecto do Universo
Agora, vejamos as origens dos Presbiterianismo, quais são ?
A Igreja Presbiteriana inicia-se na Escócia, e a sua doutrina é o Calvinismo.
Importante característica é que o seu governo não é episcopal, como o da Igreja Católica, mas sim organizado em assembleias de anciãos.
Congregations are organized according to a Presbyterian polity. Scotland ensured Presbyterian “church government” in the Acts of Union in 1707 which created the kingdom of Great Britain. In fact, most Presbyterians found in England can trace a Scottish connection, and the Presbyterian denomination was also taken to North America mostly by Scots and Scots-Irish immigrants.
The Presbyterian denominations in Scotland hold to the theology of Calvin and his immediate successors, although there is a range of theological views within contemporary Presbyterianism. ~ Presbyterianism – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Uma das suas características parece ter sido a criação de boas universidades e excelentes carreiras.
Portanto vejamos: o que é o Calvinismo ?
- Calvinists broke with the Roman Catholic church but differed with Lutherans on the real presence of Christ in the Lord’s supper, theories of worship, and the use of God’s law for believers, among other things. Calvinism is a misleading term because the religious tradition it denotes is and has always been diverse, with a wide range of influences rather than a single founder. The movement was first called “Calvinism” by Lutherans who opposed it, and many within the tradition would prefer to use the word “Reformed” rather than “Calvinist.”
- Since the Arminian controversy, the Reformed (as a branch of Protestantism distinguished from Lutheranism) are divided into Arminians and Calvinists, however it is now rare to call Arminians Reformed, as many see these two schools of thought as opposed, making the terms Calvinist and Reformed synonymous.
- John Calvin, in his Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536), repeatedly calls the Christian God “the Architect of the Universe”, also referring to his works as “Architecture of the Universe”, and in his commentary on Psalm 19 refers to the Christian God as the “Great Architect” or “Architect of the Universe”. ~ Great Architect of the Universe – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Não é incrível ? Para mim, é novo. E como poderia não ser interessante, nesta contínua convivência que temos com este “Arquitecto do Universo”, na nossa sociedade ?
IV
O primeiro arquitecto do estilo maçónico Alexander Thomson :
Um arquitecto Escocês Presbiteriano, construindo provavelmente a primeira Igreja de “estilo maçónico”: uma Igreja, Presbiteriana.
Pelo que vejo, talvez possa ser considerado o fundador do “estilo”, que observamos em tantos edifícios maçónicos !!!
Thomson was an elder of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland, and his religious convictions informed his work. There is a strong suggestion that he closely identified Solomon’s temple with the raised basilica of the same form of his three major churches.
His architectural style was often eclectic; it cannot be described as truly neoclassical (he never managed to visit Greece), but he frequently used Egyptian and other Middle Eastern motifs. His interior designs and colour schemes for churches were strongly influenced by Biblical descriptions of King Solomon’s Temple, for example the reference to pomegranates.
St. Vincent Street Church built in 1859
a Presbyterian church on St. Vincent Street inGlasgow, Scotland. It was designed by Alexander Thomson (also known as “Greek” Thomson), built for the former United Presbyterian Church of Scotland. The building is currently used by a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland: Glasgow City Free Church.As Sir John Summerson noted, “There is something wildly ‘American’ about Thomson —a ‘New World’ attitude”
Portanto agora sabemos melhor o que quer dizer “New World Order” !!!
Trata-se de uma NOM, ou de uma “Mesma Ordem Mundial Anglo-Saxónica” ?(pelo bem da Humanidade salva pelo seu verdadeiro salvador Cristo ? Ou pelo bem de um Império Egóico de origem anglo-saxónica sobre o resto da Humanidade?
Bem intencionados, bons e maus, perderam-se do caminho, nem compreendem, nem seguem o que leva ao Reino dos Céus. Seguem o que leva ao Reino Satânico povoado e regido pelos povos físicos e astrais que desde imensa data se perderam de Deus, do Bom, do Verdadeiro e do Belo. Dos quais Jesus Cristo — com seus novos nomes — nos tentou salvar, mostrando-nos o caminho e a porta; tão estreita, e por tão poucos seguida.)
Para melhor observação do “estilo”, veja-se mais trabalhos de Alexander Thomson
Glasgow Guide: Glasgow Images: Egyptian Halls
citações daqui ~ de James Anderson… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Anderson_(Freemason)
- Henry-Russell Hitchcock (1903-1987) was the leading American architectural historian of his generation. A long-time professor at Smith College and New York University, he is best known for writings that helped to define Modern architecture. Sobre Alexander Thomson, ele disse em 1966 esta coisa fantástica: “Glasgow in the last 150 years has had two of the greatest architects of the Western world. C.R.Mackintosh … An even greater and happily more productive architect, though one whose influence can only occasionally be traced in America in Milwaukee and in New York and not at all as far as I know in Europe, was Alexander Thomson.”
Este arquitecto não conhecia a nosso Baixa, e algumas das nossas construções dessa época… ! Não sei quais as feitas por Carlos Mardel, mas deve ser interessante saber as influências também sobre os outros arquitectos da época.
De repente, entendo porque é que às vezes se houve dizer que o Terreiro do Paço é a Praça “mais bonita do mundo” !!! Estranha-se essa fama incompatível com um país de que a maioria das pessoas nada sabe, e ao qual só vêm para apanhar sol. Nunca se houve que temos outras construções entre as mais bonitas do mundo, etc. nunca se fala de aldeias das mais belas… dos tesouros que temos, mas sim estas coisas sobre Lisboa… !…

Apenas outro exemplo dos círculos protestantes dos maçons, desta vez, um mais recente:
Henry A. Wallace
Adivinho que tenha tido um papel importante na industrialização da produção agricola em grande escala. (animal farms?)
Apenas mais um exemplo da ligação presbiteriana maçónica: nasceu em 1888, filho de H.C. Wallace, agrónomo, editor de um jornal e professor universitário, secretário de agricultura.
- “The Wallaces were of Scotch Irish Presbyterian stock, who had originally emigrated from Ulster, Ireland to Pennsylvania. His grandfather, Henry Wallace, was a former Presbyterian minister. “Wallace was raised as a Presbyterian and remained a devout Christian all his life. In 1939, however, he formally joined the Episcopal Church.
- Henry Wallace was also a Freemason and attained the 32nd Degree in the Scottish Rite.”
Na sua página na wiki, a parte sobre religião, é interessante, (sobre Roerich!) embora não relevante para o tema presente.
Henry A. Wallace – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Ainda uma nota sobre o que é a Igreja Episcopal:
- “The Church was organised shortly after the American Revolution when it was forced to separate from the Church of England, as the Church of England clergy were required to swear allegiance to the British monarch, who is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. It became, in the words of the 1990 report of the Archbishop of Canterbury‘s Group on the Episcopate, “the first Anglican Province outside the British Isles.”
Ou seja, fizeram-na, para terem a sua própria Igreja autónoma, independente e americana. Como um filho que depois quer formar a sua própria casa.
Este artigo tem continuação, mas vou fazer aqui uma pausa, pois que sei como é insuportavelmente chato, ler um artigo longo na internet — a não ser que seja excelente. Espero que este, nada excelente, possa ser útil.
Até então !

Graham Hancock, Monotheolistic religions are all about control
via Graham Hancock – Monotheolistic religions are fundamentally all about control – YouTube.
I agree with him partially. And partially I don’t.
Besides, I live out of that control for so long. Catholic religion, where in I have grown, has never put any pressure on me, let alone control. But many “alternative half pseudo religion”, PRESSURE people and give them GUILT !!!
Nevertheless Swedenborg reading is a paradise for criticism of traditional religion, but in a way of understanding what and where it goes wrong.
Encouraged to explore spiritual realms: that is what reading Swedenborg is for me, after many “experiences”. I know that it is going to form a foundation for infinite experiencing… but at the right adres !! That is also why I share it. There’s here a knowledge which is so bewond the personal and circunstancial.
One of the reasons why I bring Graham hier, is that Arcana Coelestia is a wonderful journey into the Quest for the Lost Civilisation !
“Há mais luz nas letras do alfabeto, do que no Universo inteiro” Guerra Junqueiro
“There is more light in the letters of the alphabet then in the whole Universe” ~ Guerra Junqueiro, portuguese poet / writer
“Not encouraged to live things and truth by themselves” ~ Graham
As a just response to that reality of centuries, there’s nowadays a great invitation across the globe to seek experiences.
Some, have to experience new things on the outside world: new travelings, new sports, more risky adventures.
Others, have each time to experience new things on the spiritual market, new sensations…. Even in art: if it is a novelty, it’s art, – lol!
Holland just announced that the new hit on TV will be a program about a crew which they’ll be sending to live in Mars, forever, lol !
ler: sobre Seshat, senhora da casa dos livros da vida, ou Autumn’s Egyptology
When we read the Arcana Coelestia, you are being invited to come aboard too, of a vehicule that will take us in a far away journey. First, into a far away past of long lost knowledge.
But let’s admit it: it’s more rewarding then living enclosed for the rest of your life, and less demanding then going to Mars ;)
This is a tool to rebuild an alive temple: you; a map to find a treasure; an alive science about the non dying part of you, us, humans, and their stories of becoming divine.
It is not one more journey on the outside world.
It is not yet one more week-end workshop.
It is doctrine. Knowledge for us to experience and live and make alive. Only then, will we grow into progressively understanding more of what it says.
It is as if the earlier “Pharaos” who were close to God, are sitting right by your side, inviting you to their knowledge. It is really so !
Angels don’t pay much attention to the literal sense of the words, the words of these sacred scriptures open doors to higher realms.
And opening the energy centres, is a better way to naturally produce serotonin and DMT ;) in the good amount for each one, because, in this case, under God and his Angels’s supervision ;)
So please, I hope if someone comes along, and sees our Old Testament reading, and turns aways thinking we are some kind of controlled ignorant sheep slaves who believe everything that is told to us without having experienced anything by ourselves, reads this, and think twice. We are just people who enjoy the company of the Angels :) See pictures above.
“This here is all about the right for everybody to experience the spiritual realms themselves, and changing the economic structure which is holding us from doing it !!!!!! “

Que 2013 tenha muito muito de Rosas !!!!
Desejo a todos um Bom Ano Novo.
Que tenha muito muito de Rosas !!!! E Flores de Portugal para Portugal !!!
E, para dar a minha parte e contribuir para isso, uma vez que não há nada melhor do que despertar a consciência e o amor divino, para podermos resolver os nossos problemas, comecei, no dia 1 Janeiro de 2013, a partilhar, na internet, o Arcana Coelestia, que é a explicação do Antigo Testamento.
Logo os Anjos se me manifestaram, felizes, porém simultaneamente avisando-me que imediatamente ia surgir algo ou alguém, acontecer algo, que iam impedir e travar !!!! E assim foi, logo passados dias. Incrível, não é? As forças porém, apenas podem atrasar, não destruir.
Por isso, eu no meu pequeno e simples blogue, vou continuar essa meditação diária ou semanal. Muito muito devagarinho. Ainda a ver em que forma, e onde. Mas, quase sem explicações, pois que as explicações já são as de Swedenborg, e eu NUNCA substituo as suas palavras, que estão iluminadas por Deus e pelos Anjos.
Se soubessem a força com que Deus quer isto ! Até é engraçado ! Infelizmente, as frases que eu fôr publicando, não são ainda ilustradas por mim….. !
O que quer dizer, que um dia, podemos repetir tudo…. do princípio, de novo.
Claro que qualquer pessoa pode ler o Arcana Coelestia sòzinho. Mas, é a mesma coisa? É muito bom ler em conjunto, e poder conversar-se sobre as coisas sagradas. Por isso, os que querem seguir comigo, são bem vindos e convidados a manifestarem-se. Além disso, isto é uma ajuda: concentrando-me eu, sempre puxo à leitura regular.
Ao entrarmos no Reino Divino, que estes escritos são, entramos no Jardim, e no Grande Desconhecido em que Deus fará muitas obras. ! :)
Provavelmente ligarei estas mensagens a uma página no Facebook destinada a este efeito.
Tenham em atenção, estimados lusófonos, que Swedenborg, não só foi abafado e rejeitado em todo o mundo, à parte um punhado de pessoas dedicadas, na Holanda, no Reino Unido e nos EUA, (dos que me são conhecidos), como é maioritariamente desconhecido nos nossos países, apenas mencionado em segunda ou terceira mão, a respeito de outros autores. A desconfiança, a caução, a estranheza, e as poucas pessoas interessadas, é portanto, perfeitamente natural. Nada de equívocos, lá por causa disso. Esta Igreja expander-se-á por toda a Terra… se quisermos luz; verdadeira.
A tradução em português do Brasil constitui um grande problema para os portugueses, o qual, por enquanto, mas só por enquanto, é insolúvel. Eles têm mesmo que aguentar, e ou ler em inglês, pelo que também publicarei em inglês, se me fôr possível. Tudo isto é aprendizagem e improviso, no seio do impossível, e no sofrimento da separação. …
A pressa não me interessa. Pelo contrário. Quanto ao ritmo certo, estou aberta às circunstâncias. Deixemos aos poucos surgir um ritmo que ressoe com as poucas pessoas interessadas. E que esta Música e Sinfonia Maravilhosa possa ser ouvida por mais e mais pessoas, inclusive aquelas que têm poder. Poder para desistir e impedir as guerras e as crueldades, as injustiças e maldades, os horrores e as explorações que se passam neste mundo.
Quanto mais colaborarem vivamente, mais poderão sentir as maravilhas desta Revelação, mas ela não só é maravilhsa. mas necessária também.
Estou a falar dos Arcanos Celestes de Swedenborg.

I wish you a Good Year. My New Plans for 2013
Peace.
Since I added my introduction pages, lot’s of people subscribed to this blog. That’s great.
So, I just got it: there are followers and subscribers. Followers are possible to contact. Yesterday there was a woman complaining about her 1000 subscribers. She felt abused in her privacy, because her posts apparently go to 1000 email addresses, of people who never show up, say nothing, and whom she knows not who they are. I agree.
In this blog of mine, it is natural that people are waiting, because I just started. But I don’t believe it is being read, except by the people who tell me so.
I would like to relate to the subscribers, when… you say hello, in order for me to know something of you, why you are here, and which languages you speak. :) I’ll appreciate that, even if my ideas are out of the common. I mean, people are mostly either conservative and eventually interested in such a spiritual subject as Christ, but then they stick to their tradition. Or people are progressive and they question, so they are sometimes even allergic to “Christian” subjects.
Well, I come from a different perspective, although I didn’t explain what has been previous to my interest in Swedenborg.
How are you guys?
How was Christmas? Mine was good, with my daughter, her friend and his teenage daughter. Mine made lasagna, vegetarian, of course, which always comes out perfect, and his daughter made a delicious apple tart. It was wonderful, talking and being together.
I wish you all a Good New Year, particularly to my few followers, and real subscribers. Do you have a translator ? Can you understand if I write in portuguese ? I hope so. It is not always possible to write in both languages.
My projects for 2013, are among others: to write/share regularly the Arcana Coelestia which consists of the esoteric explanation of the mysteries contained in the Old Testament.
The significance of each word, is then different from the literal and normal one.
“But there is too much cruelty and absurdity, and it is just an assembly of books put together, which do more harm then good.”
I also thought like that for long periods of my life, but nothing is less truth, in spite of the logic of that view.
The Old Testament is one of our greatest treasures and heritages from a long past, which contain and bring essential keys for the peace and goodness YOU would like to see in the world. Do you really care for hunger and war, for the disasters happening and the countries afflicted with despair ? Do you really care for women slaves and the thousands of abused children? Well, if you do, I invite you earnestly to read with me the Arcana Coelestia. I don’t ask you to believe me. I ask you to sincerely try it for a while.
Do you know that Arcana Coelestia corrects dozens of doctrines which guide and are the ground of actions of the elites ? So, yes, it brings solutions for war. Yes, it brings solutions for cruelty, for the blindness and egoism which is leading this planet. So, if you can spare some time to do it, give it a try. I can assure you, it will be surprising, and it will not ask too much of your time.
Why would you ?
Well, how about if you would discover that that which YOU, LIKE MOST PEOPLE, LOVE about Jesus himself, his teaching of love and sincerity, are a living reality, with which we can make a better world ?
You say <<no! That has been tried and violence and horror was the result! I like maybe Jesus, but not the rest of it!>>
Well, it went wrong from the beginning because people could not understand, could they? They did something else of it !
<<Ok, but now it is too late. We got to try another thing.>>
Do you know what the illuminati, free-masons, atheists (communism, prohibiting religion and theism ) have been doing since three centuries? Exactly that. Other things have been tried. For some people it has been ok, privately. But if you have any idea of what is happening in the world, you know that somewhere it went wrong, completely wrong.
Well, who says that you can’t help it? What if there’s a doctrine, so graceful and intelligent, that it can refresh and re-inspire even those powerful people ? What if it can bring to repentance some lost guys into big business with evil, and who would find here the mercy and compassion they need to restart again ? What if there’s a doctrine able to unite and enlighten and truly bring joy and make of Jesus’s teachings — the ones YOU like — a daily reality of people who can live with a smile on their face?
But Natya (that’s me), I live with a smile on my face, exactly because I am free of all that bs of religion! Or because I have my religion already, which is perfect!
I ask first to reconsider the similarity of the first position with the second. And secondly, I ask: you live maybe with a smile, that is wonderful. But at what cost ? Would you still have a smile on your face if you would see black on white, that for you to have what you have, others are screaming for your help in unbearable suffering ? Do you still have a smile on your face if you remember that USA is rich because it fills the whole world with its weapons, and then it bombs its innocent people with the excuse that they have weapons ?
Ok, it turns to be more complex then this, but we got to understand that it is in our hands, to change the suffering in the world. And that asks understanding. And that is what Arcana Coelestia is about ! It is a Testament a Sacred Book for our age and for YOU, us, as we are, to bring us understanding and to point to us the way for Peace.
I can’t think about that. And I can’t do anything about it.
Yes, you can :) The best way to combat lies, is with truth. If you make yourself busy with truth, you are bringing a light into the darkness, and lots of small fires make a big fire. And this will call and attract many of the one’s who are into the darkness. It is as simple as that. Yes, peace in the world, depends not on your president: it depends ON YOU. It depends on HOW MANY OF us will want in our hearts either to do something about it, or to just live as if it is not our business !!! Make it your business.
“But you are talking about God. And many people tried paradise on earth. And that’s how it goes wrong. Bush was making war in God’s name”
Well, if Bush was filling the earth with weapons, and similar business in God’s name, then we are speaking of another God, that’s for sure. And he needs to read the Arcana Coelestia, and repent.
Can you imagine Jesus defending anything like that? But if you know that, and you don’t do anything about it, who will?
Black Mustard Seeds (Semina Sinapis Nigrae)
Source, Etc
The black mustard plant, Brassica sinapioides, Roth (B. nigra, Koch, N.O. Cruciferoe), an erect annual plant attaining a height of 1 metre or more, is largely cultivated in Holland, England, Italy, Germany, and other countries. The fruits are smooth, erect, appressed siliquas, which dehisce, when ripe, by both sutures, disclosing about ten or twelve-minute dark seeds. These are separated when ripe, and dried.
“Who are you to think you are stating the truth”
Not me. Jesus is, in the writings of Swendenborg, rationally and calmly, a truth we need, a science of the spirit if you wish, in order for us to be able to understand many things, and change our lives, in a way that we can do what Jesus told us to do.
As much inside as outside. Caring for ourselves but also for others.
And now, now in 2013, we can see that all the previous attempts, in which we thought we didn’t need to take it serious what he said, we can see that there’s no other way but to go back, sit down and be willing to restart. This is inevitably so, if you have courage to get out of your bubble or box, and really inform yourself of what is happening in the world, and how many people need your help, our help. So that we find ways for more love, less exploration.
“The hippies tried it. It didn’t succeed”
And so because they tried it we need to do nothing else? Can’t we research and enquire what can we do better this time? Besides, meanwhile, J. Lennon knows now that there’s a heaven and after life. :D… And that there’s a Heaven, and a Soul and Divine Love is why to make love and not war is possible !
Alone we can’t do almost anything for each others. But together we can do all. That’s basically, Jesus’s doctrine.
Yet, to be able to bring it into the world, we need a good doctrine: his, more developed. Doctrine is not all, but it is a seed. A divine seed. like the mustard seed.
So, I’ll be sharing these seeds, maybe mostly for people who would not otherwise take these book in hands. Maybe for people who are very fundamentalist. Maybe for people who can be attracted by the tremendous level of consciousness related to these sacred jewels.
Thank you for reading me, and until next time
