"So Allah will ward off from them the evil of
that day, and cause them to meet with splendour and happiness; And
reward them, for their steadfastness, with a Garden and with silk,
Reclining therein on raised couches; they will see therein neither
(excessive heat of) sun nor intense cold. And close down upon them are
its shadows, and its fruits are made near (to them), easy to reach.
And round about them are made to go vessels of silver and goblets of
glass, Crystal-clear, made of silver they have measured them according
to a measure.�Holy Qur�an, Surah 76, Verses 11-16
True religious freedom comes from understanding who we are in
relationship to God. Getting acquainted with God is like getting
acquainted with self. Loving self is loving others. To truly
serve others in the Temple or the Synagogue or in any House of Worship
is to dedicate the Temple of one�s body as the true repository of the
soul and the body of Christ. All of Divine Creation first
proceeded out of the Essence of Darkness. To know what that Darkness
is, is the beginning of Wisdom. Without contemplating the Essence of
that Darkness, there is no Light.
Writing on this subject in terms of Crystals, Author Ted Andrews in
his book, "Crystal Balls and Crystal Bowls," states a known truth and
a universal principle of light: "Black contains the full light
spectrum. It is the potential of the unknown, and so obsidian spheres
can help awaken our vision of those potentials. The images and visions
that are awakened within these spheres are often blunt, and as the old
saying goes: �Sometimes the truth hurts.� "
I am reminded of the words of Dr. Paul Goss on the subject of
melanin as related to the human body and the nature of being, as
described in his most recent book, "The Rebirth of Gods."
"When you look at Nature, you see melanin everywhere. You see
colors. When you see color, you see pigment. You see kidneys. You see
liver. You see all of the organs of your body. Your bloodstream is
well intact when you look at color. Color also represents the highest
level of your mind. Black is the presence of all colors. To discover
your melanin and put it into functions where it can work for you, take
a trip through the plant life. Through Nature. This is the same as
taking a trip through your own body."
I first wrote about my journey to Dr. Goss�s Retreat several weeks
ago. This visit took place on the first few days of December in the
company of Sister Anana, Brother Wahid and his wife, Sister Ann.
Driving from Phoenix for four hours, we reached his Retreat in
Douglas, Az., a short distance from the Mexican and New Mexican
borders. We joined several other guests from Phoenix and Tucson, Texas
and California.
I had already begun my re-alignment work with crystals, a short
month earlier due to some surprising developments. In fact, the
beginning of the year 2001 initiated my accelerated journey with
crystals, beginning immediately after our Saviours� Day,
February Celebration in Chicago. I was invited to give a lecture and
cultural presentation in March at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden
Grove, Ca. This event was organized and hosted principally by Sister
Nujah Muhammad in Orange County. This journey to Los-Angeles was
extended to include the Oakland Bay area with my attendance at a
Sufi Conference. I journeyed later to the City of San Diego where I
was invited to present another Cultural Performance followed by a
lecture on Mother�s Day. My subject was on the work of the Angels and
the Great Mother�s Wheel activated by striking photographic images of
the Majestic Cloud sightings over San Diego photographed by our own
brother.
In Dr. Goss�s book, he gives a profound mathematical exactness to
the science of the body crystals working in our system. He writes:
"Man�s body contains 144,000 crystals. Your crystals cause your body
to absorb and dispatch the information that is in you. Every type of
crystal that exists on the Planet exists in the body of man. If the
crystals did not exist in your body they would not exist on the
Planet. Each crystal has a different function in your body. Your
crystals store and transmit information like the crystals in radios or
televisions. Your crystals store information from all of creation.
They don�t just store the information you have come in contact with
since you have been on the Planet. They store the information you were
born with. Your crystals are fed through your antennas. Your crystals
cause the real being in you to wake up."
"And they are made to drink therein a cup tempered with
ginger�(Of) a fountain therein called Salsabil. And round about them
will go youths, never altering in age; when thou seest them thou wilt
think them to be scattered pearls, And when thou lookest thither, thou
seest blessings and a great kingdom."�Holy Qur�an, Surah 76, Verses
17-20
To be continued.
