Museum Gift Shop Open for Business

Well, by dingy-dongy, I done it. I was determined to finish the MaMa Gift Shop tonight, and I did, but now I’m totally ragged and have to go down for a while.

I may or may not make it back up for the Sunday morning zoom meeting, but I will give it my best try when the time comes — I won’t know until then.

So the items I selected for the gift shop were things I thought were fun and affordable. Continue reading

Your One-Stop Christmas Shop

Widow’s Mites of Mark 12-41

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow put more into the treasury than all the others. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”

These coins are bronze lepta and prutot of Alexander Jannaeus, the Hasmonean King of Judaea from 103 to 76 B.C. Although these coins were minted long before Christ’s lifetime, they were still in circulation during the first century A.D. They were the lowest denomination coins circulated at the time of Jesus.

I’m making Christmas/Chanukah Gift Packets with these incredible 2,000 year-old genuine ancient Judean coins that were in circulation during the time of Jesus, and some dating to the time of the Macabees, and they’re only $35 a pop!

These are NOT replicas or reproductions. They are the Real Thing, and there are NOT that many around now, due to the war in that area of the world, and there’s no sign of it letting up anytime soon. Continue reading

Get ready for the Holiday Season right now. You can order a basket right now, today, this very moment. These are all “Gorby’s Choice”, meaning that they are filled with packaged goods that I’d actually have in my own home and on my own table. All the foods are prepared by internationally respected makers, and of course everything is organic and gluten-free and GMO free, sustainable and fair-traded. These items average about $7-$20 apiece, and add up fast in a basket. Name your budget, and I’ll find a way to fill it.

These are all BLESSED KITCHEN ITEMS that came through our Cloister Kitchen just for you. Every single item is handled by me and every basket is packed & sealed by me in our Cloister Kitchen. I do NOT open any of the items. EVERY ITEM COMES TO ME SEALED & PACKAGED. I do not handle or touch any of the foods directly — these are foods of which I approve for our Work Diet, subject to change if the recipe changes. I’ll give notice and bring in a substitution as necessary, but at the moment, all manufacturers on my “great” list are doing a great job of producing clean, honest foodstuffs.

Meaning of Wrist Malas

x
Heart Mala can be worn by healers as well as worn during prayer and movements.

BLACK — Black Wrist Mala Bracelets are by far the most popular of the low-priced jewelry. Black is the absence of color, but it also stands for all the area of the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum that lies outside the tiny realm of humanly visible light. The Black Mala is called the Mystery Mala. I’ll show you some examples … Continue reading

When It Rains, It Pours

griffenpalaceinterior

It’s true; when it rains, it pours, and that’s not just Morton’s Iodized Salt. I haven’t gotten a minute to write a blog for many days now, and here I’m writing two, one right after the other…Well, it can’t be helped. The screenshot above shows the new Griffon Palace, part of Ancient Rome at the Ashram. I wanted to take the extra minute to remind you that the Holiday Season is coming. Not only can you express your desire to help the Ashram with your Holiday Gift, but you can enrich the lives of a number of friends, by taking advantage of the Holiday Gift Membership I’ve asked the Board to offer. You can get a full 30-Day Gift Membership for a family member, friend or even business associates, employees, anyone you want to treat to a really fun month=long series of great activities and music and art events, as well as meditation retreats, tai-chi workouts and much, much more. The 30 Day Gift Membership is only $10 for the whole month, and that includes all the extras!!! Your guest gets all the privileges of full membership, including use of a plasma power chamber!!! There’s no limit to the number you can invite — well, actually, there is a somewhat finite number — 800 — that’s our Limit of Expansion. We can’t cram any more than 800 avatars into the Ashram, period, so that sort of says something on the order of “There will never be 1 million avatars in one region at one time.” That’s probably true, and it’d be awfully hard to walk around in there if there were, eh?

See You At The Top!!!
