OFFERTORY PRACTICES
Of course you’re familiar with the Catholic Offertory, where the bread and wine are ceremonially placed on the Altar, along with any offerings from the congregation. We do something similar, sending pure gold through the WormHole of Passage into the Bucket of No Return — I’ll explain in detail:
It’s not just about concentrating the attention, rooting it on the Jacob’s Ladder of spirals or pan-ridges as the gold and black sand mount upward toward the center of The Wheel, dipping quickly past the Event Horizon of the Black Hole, through the tube-like WormHole and into the little black bucket at the back of the spiral, from which it is emptied into the Cleanup Pan, where the black sand is extracted by a powerful Magnetic Force that lifts out the iron particles while leaving the gold in place, after which the gold is emptied out into a handblown glass Alembic.
If you operate a Hometown Movements Studio or Dojo, you will want to deposit the gold thus obtained into an Offering Jar below the Studio Shrine in your workspace. It’s enough to make a good donation, but not enough to be worth stealing, unless you allow it to pile up. It only needs the ACTION of placing it at the base of the Shrine, and can be removed at the end of each working day at the Dojo.
The AMOUNT of gold is unimportant, although it can add up fast, and there are always those pleasant surprises when you see several “pickers”, meaning flakes large enough to pick up with a pair of tweezers.
As I said, the amount is unimportant. What you’re doing here is separating the gold donation from the gold-bearing “paydirt” that we send you directly from the Ashram, which has gold scattered throughout the soil just about everywhere, because we’re in a giant valley of gold, a huge deposit of surface gold, called “placer gold”.
Why doesn’t everybody in our placer valley just mine the gold on their properties, instead of raising horses, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, llamas and cattle?
Once you hand-pan a spoonful of that paydirt, you’ll know why.
It’s bloody hard work, that’s why. After three or four pans, you’ll want to quit, but the gold fever will keep you going well past the exhaustion stage, if you see a little glint of high-karat gold now & again.
If you’re able to actually pan the gold, it’s the best way to do this operation, but if you can’t, then the SPIRAL WHEEL of LIFE will do just fine, maybe better, for the public.
The Spiral Wheel is very hypnotic to watch, as the black sand and gold work their way up the Jacob’s Ladder, where each rung of the ladder is the bottom of each spiral. The gold flips over the Event Horizon piece by piece, along with the black sand and “flour” gold, measured in microns, not millimeters.
As you observe the progress of the gold, one careful step at a time, through this chain of purification and refinement, note that the gold itself is unchanged — it is not being melted down or in any way altered to achieve the refinement.
The difference is that we are GETTING RID OF THE DROSS, the unwanted stuff, the lighter material, which corresponds, as you will duly note, with your unwanted and unnecessary psychological-emotional clutter of neuroses.
In short, take out the garbage.
Whether you act this out with a gold pan or a Spiral Wheel of Life, the effect is the same; you remove the lower and keep the higher, passing the higher on through the WormHole into the Higher Dimensions, where it can be used to defray expenses incurred when interfacing with UrthWorld in-game requirements and monthly charges, which you’ll be doing even more as you take on more and more responsibility.
HOW ABOUT MAKING YOUR KARMA PAYMENTS?
Sure, you can use the Spiral Wheel of Life to purify and pass on your KARMIC DEBTS as well; simply empty a packet of KARMA DUST into the bottom crevice of the Spiral Wheel of Life and watch your Karmic Debt go to the Higher Realm.
What do you do with the gold collected in the Spiral Shrine?
Frankly, I’m indifferent to what you decide to do. You can donate it to the Ashram, of course, but there are other uses for it — for instance, why not use it to finance a trip to the Ashram to take some personal training?
Or perhaps you might feel comfortable about using it to sustain your Movements Workspace or to expand your bookshop, add some incenses, oils, candles and books to your inventory, or advertise your movements workshops.
As is evident, the actual use to which the gold is put makes a powerful difference in the kind of effect you get from the activity of the OFFERING.
Maybe you’ve seen people in the Far East burning money on an altar or shrine to send it upward. That’s a good idea in principle, but on a practical level, it could also do some additional good by being used in support of the work of the Shrine or Dojo.
Think of doing the most good for the most numbers of recipients of your Good Fortune.
Yes, your Good Fortune. Each donation packet costs you $2.50, and every single one of the gold-bearing paydirt packets from the Ashram is GUARANTEED TO CONTAIN GOLD, although how much gold cannot be determined.
Think about it. You’re spending $2.50 in cash to get SOME amount of PURE GOLD to use as an Offering. You get gold for your $2.50, not just dirt. That’s in the nature of a rebate, no?
Well, the amount of gold and presence or absence of large flakes or small nuggets that you’re Offering now can’t be known until you either pan it out or put it on the Spiral — a sort of Shroedinger’s Gold Pan.
The Uncertainty Principle operates powerfully on behalf of your intention to make an Offering to the Shrine, and your UNBROKEN OBSERVATION of the purification process of your Offering as it travels from the Unclean World where it is mixed with OVERBURDEN, to the Purification State where the gold is separated from the lighter materials, which is about equal to the demand for purification when you enter into any Higher State of Consciousness and Being.
Cleanliness is right next to Godliness.
Oh, not in the dictionary. In the dictionary, cleanliness is next to cleavage, and godliness is next to goggles and go-carts.
Purity. You know the feeling — that need to CLEAN THE SPACE, to purge the nest. You know the urgency of that potent drive toward purification of the spirit, and you feel the necessity to purify the Offering that goes to Spirit.
Purification of the Offering is not a new idea. You can see it in action in the Jewish tradition during the occupation of the Jewish Homeland by the Romans. Jewish law prohibits coins with a portrait of a human from entering any sacred space, especially the Temple.
So money exchangers sat outside the temples in the Holy Land, changing Jewish coinage which had no human “graven image”, for the despised and befouled Roman coinage which sported the portrait of the hated Roman Emperor and which proclaimed Roman power and values.
If the offering is food, objects of daily use, jewelry, the same rules obtain — the Offering must be clean, honest, open and given freely without reservation, without hesitation.
Sure, there’s an amount of gold involved, but gold is merely a common rare metal found throughout the universe, and soon, gold will be commonly manufactured by 3-D printers in the not-too-distant future, where everything, including your hot pizza and favorite coffee, is made out of Carbon Molecules, including the pizza box and the plastic coffee cup.
So what about Jacob’s Ladder?
Jacob’s Ladder is a step-by-step processional up the levels of Consciousness and Spirit, and can be ascended or descended easily with knowledge and need. Your gold travels upward on the Ladder, to achieve its Offering Effect.
Service is what it’s all about, and that’s why you want a Spiral Shrine and/or a Panning Shrine in your Dojo or workspace.
High Attention will get you there, and that’s why you want to either hand-pan or watch the gold travel up the Spiral Wheel of Life into and through the WormHole.
The Model of the Thing is the Thing Itself.
You’ve heard that many times from me, but consider what it really, deeply, means. You already know the principle of Identity, that something which equals itself is by identity, itself.
Silly exercise in mental gymnastics? Not at all. It’s necessary when considering any idea, to put all the cards on the table and to take the marbles out of one’s mouth.
In short, be real. Look at EVERYTHING, all sides, all issues, pleasant or unpleasant, that are attached to the situation or idea. Examine it all, don’t leave out any detail, don’t fail to consider all the angles, and be aware of your identity during this process.
Identity. It’s so damn important to ape-descendents of the almost-hairless variety, but actually REAL IDENTIFICATION is a practice unknown among the local inhabitants of Planet Urth.
Identification with what, though?
Well, with the Spirit, of course. With the Essential Self. With the Core of the Being. Certainly, that’s the Centering idea. But when you DO successfully achieve a Moment of Freedom (a short time Off the Karmic Wheel), what do you do with the time you save?
Gold-Panning by hand or by Spiral will FORCE you to IDENTIFY, to keep your attention rooted to the spot, watching for too much black sand going up the spirals, or worse — blotchy bumps of lighter material traveling up into the top spiral turns. This would not be good, and action must be taken in this event.
I know — it’s a lot to ask of passers-by to actually dump the Ashram Sacred Soil into the Shrine’s Wheel in such a way as to not entirely spill the whole thing all over the nice new wood flooring of the Dojo space.
You will have to educate them to not be careless, not be inattentive, not be sloppy, not be stupid, not be careless, not be aggressive, restless, impatient, demanding, rough and tumble, plain old staggeringly disconnected from the Present Time & Space.
That’s a tall order, to educate them, because up to now, they’ve gotten away with that careless “falling forward” disconnectedness all their lives, and unless you can make it important enough to them to achieve High Attent, they’re not too likely to change their ways just for your convenience.
They won’t see the sense in slowing down, taking it easy, relaxing, letting go of the tensions, vanishing the anger, resentment, futility, rage, disappointment and demand for attention from others — the things that make their lives and the lives of those around them total Hell.
The thing is, if they don’t slow down and ease up on the inner frustration and rage, the OFFERING GOES SOUR.
The Offering has to be made IN THE RIGHT SPIRIT, without expectation of any reward, including a “thank you”. Nothing. Just give it, and let it go.
At the rate of $2.50 a day, it won’t break you.
How come if we have all this equipment, we don’t just load up the Rommel Trommel with paydirt and run it out in a few hours?
Because this is an Ashram, not a gold mine. We just happen to be sitting on gold-rich surface deposits of flake and flour gold, that’s all. If there weren’t already gold in the soil, I’d add it so you can find it, but there’s no need — every single spoonful of dirt from the Ashram contains SOME gold.
As I said earlier, it doesn’t matter how much. It’s all about your attention during the climb upward through Jacob’s Ladder. To have the Effect, you have to WATCH the gold go up the ladder, which takes about three minutes to complete all the necessary turns of the Wheel.
Yep. I knew you’d get it sooner or later. Anything that turns can be made into a Prayer Wheel, and the Gold Spiral definitely does turn, with a waterfall of water trickling down it from spiral step to spiral step, in a slow hypnotic turn toward the center of the Wheel.
Of course, every turn of the wheel does SOME good, but it’s not just the donation. On the back of the Spiral Prayer Wheel is emblazoned the words, “OM MANI PADME HUM”, which turns the Gold Spiral into a Prayer Wheel. Naturally, there are six SIX WORLDS CQR AMULETICS affixed to the back of the wheel, between each of the syllables of the Clear Light Incantation.
It doesn’t hurt to chant “Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum” as you’re watching the gold working its way upward through the Gold Spiral, either.
In fact, where there’s gold, there’s water involved somehow, and this particular water trickles downward through the Gold Spiral and into a small black plastic well or pond at the bottom. The Shrine is constructed around the Spiral Wheel so that it appears to be a natural Waterfall and Small Pond, giving a natural look to the general effect.
Everything is self-contained, including the recycled water. It takes only a couple of gallons of water to operate, and you change the water to keep it clean, but it could last for weeks without changing it at all — the operation of the gold spiral is very clean and the water doesn’t tend to gunk up unless you overload it or forget to clean the bucket every day.
I will be constructing a sample Shrine, and I’ll get photos up as soon as I can.
COST OF SETTING UP A PRAYER WHEEL GOLD SPIRAL SHRINE:
- Six Worlds Gold Spiral Wheel of Life — $360 plus shipping.
- 12 volt power supply — $75 plus shipping.
- Shrine Buildup Around Wheel — $120-$150 for landscaping parts.
- Six Special Spiral Shrine CQR devices — $240
Please note that I have no control over the price of these items, and you don’t order them from me. I don’t sell that stuff, never did. The approximated amounts listed above are rough guesses — estimates of costs — based on what I spent to acquire the materials for my Shrine here at the Ashram, but you may have better luck.
If your Dojo is popular, you will be able to recover and exceed your costs more rapidly.
If you have 10 or 12 students for Movements, they will require about half an hour to perform the Obligations at the Spiral Shrine, so you’ll have to make allowances for this and ask them to come a little early before their BardoMania Training, Jewelry Project or Movements Class.
COST OF SETTING UP A HAND-PANNING GOLD OFFERING SHRINE:
- Gorby’s Sluice Box Shrine — $50-$250 depending on type & size of box.
- Gold Panning Equipment — $50-$100 depending on choices of equipage.
- Landscaping for Sluice — $150-$250 depending on choices of materials.
If you’re stressed for cash, you can build the hand-panning operation for about $50 total, if you’re handy and can find bargains easily. Never buy a used gold pan — they “work in” to fit the panning style of the owner, and run about $10-$20 brand-new in the box.
So as you see, you have some interesting choices there. Myself, I’d have both the hand-panning and the spiral available, but in two different locations in the Dojo, the Spiral Wheel for simple Offerings, and the Hand-Panning Sluice Box set up outdoors, perhaps, or in an enclosed porch or patio, for serious Attention Exercise and Meditation.
PANNING PARTIES
You can set up gold-panning parties, where everyone gets a chance to see how much gold they can “score” from their packets of gold-bearing paydirt.
The weights of the recovered gold are taken, and the winner gets the prize of your choice, all hosted by the Dojo, see? Naturally, any income derived from this activity should go to the Dojo for its continued sustainability.
Those panning parties can develop into serious work, if the parties are held in the Dojo. This is a great way to grow your Dojo Movements Group!
SUPPLICATION & PRAYER
Like all ape-descendants, your ORGANIC BODY has a craving for pure, beautiful, heavy and wondrous GOLD. Sure, intellectually, you know it’s just a local metal that has no intrinsic value and is given value based on scarcity and demand, but still, there’s that nagging thing inside saying “mwahahahahaha, gold, gold, gold!!!”
But how to use that instinctive urge to acquire gold for something higher???
Every time you see a lump or flake of gold go over the top in the WormHole at the center of the Spiral Wheel, you will have to let go of the “value” of the gold flake or nugget. I know, you’re not attached to it right now, it’s easy to let go of a few flakes of gold, but wait until it starts adding up to a whole vial full of pure solid gold…then what???
Letting go is part of the exercise, and if you set up the Gold Offering Shrine properly, you will FEEL THAT TUG, and you will LET GO OF THAT NUGGET, as it passes beyond your reach, beyond your spending power, beyond your shopping budget.
Myself, I think the action is FUN, and INTERESTING, even FASCINATING, as you watch the gold work its way upward through the spirals and into the bucket behind the WormHole.
In a way, it reminds one of the Afterlife Adventures we stage in Reno — you’re wondering what the payoff will be from this particular packet of gold-bearing ore, and it’s always amazing to see HOW MUCH can be there when your Offering “hits” really well and shows a LOT of “color” which is how you say it when you see the glint of gold in the bottom of the pan.
The more “color” you see, the more “on” you are for the day. Coincidence Control determines that, not I. Pardon my correct grammatical usage there — I don’t know what came over me, and I can’t promise that it won’t happen again.
I have in mind several types of packages of GOLD-BEARING SACRED SOIL, each for a different purpose or set of purposes, plus a “general usage” packet, all of which feature photos of my Zen Garden.
I have richer samples as well, if you want to make extra-generous Offerings, as follows:
- $5 Packet costs you $2.50, you charge $5.
- $10 Packet costs you $5, you charge $10.
- $20 Packet costs you $10, you charge $20.
- $50 Packet costs you $25, you charge $50.
- $100 Packet costs you $50, you charge $100.
As you can see, your Dojo gets a gross profit of half the retail amount, but you also get the gold donation, so you’re ahead quite a bit on the deal. I get half the retail, but I give you the gold-bearing soil with the gold inside it, yours to keep or give away, as you wish.
Of course, if you keep the money, and use it personally, it’s not a donation, it’s income, so you’ll have to declare it as income. I don’t know the current tax laws, but the taxman always gets his share or more than his share, so expect it and see it coming.
“KIOSK” OPERATIONS
If you set up a gold panning KIOSK, you’ll sell the packets for double what you paid, and if you’re smart, you’ll stick with the $5 packet, because there are a lot of folks who just can’t pan gold, and will demand their money back. Don’t panic, merely process the tailings in the sluice box and put it in the glass collection vial with the rest or exchange it for more gold-bearing paydirt packets.
In a mall or fair operation, you’ll want your setup to be light, portable, easy to set up and even easier to take down, because at takedown time, you’ll be tired and you’ll want to get out of there and get a meal and some rest, so a complicated takedown is not a good solution.
Even in a public operation, it’s still a Shrine, but you can’t and shouldn’t insist that everyone who uses it knows and understands its sacred nature. If someone asks about the deeper meaning of the operation, of course feel free to explain it to them, but don’t feel obligated to make everyone understand AND ACCEPT the reality of what’s happening with the Offerings and what the Shrine really is, etc.
Keep your opinions to yourself and make it a fun and rewarding experience for those who come to your booth or kiosk. It’s just gold-panning for fun & profit, get it???
On this planet, there’s always that drive to recruit — to convert the Heathen to the Truth. This is entirely NOT the purpose of the Gold Panning Shrine. It’s to have FUN and at the same time, to get a little exposure to the Work, just a LITTLE, not a flood of information about what turns YOU on or an exposition about the trials and tribulations you have to endure while living your life.
Just let it be a simple gold-panning experience, and let go of the urge to make others look, feel and sound like yourself.
For most folks, it’s about feeling just a little better, keeping in mind what Official Federal Government Studies have indicated — that most workers are in pain most of the time.
Sometimes a spiritual action with some amount of power and significance can alleviate that “Angst”, or “World-Pain”, the pain of just being alive in an organic body.
HEALING ACTIONS WITH THE SPIRAL WHEEL
Wearing a MEDICINE WHEEL CHOKER, a MEDICINE WHEEL BRACELET or a MEDICINE WHEEL RING or EARRINGS will definitely improve your chances of being noticed by a Higher Intelligence while performing Obligations such as the Spiral Wheel Offering.
Place the MEDICINE WHEEL item on the Altar and light the incense; fumigate and light a white beeswax or 51% beeswax candle. Pass the packet of Gold-Bearing Sacred Soil over the fumigating incense, ring the bell three times, then slowly empty the packet into the BOTTOM of the Spiral, along the back crevice.
OBSERVE the gold and black sand working its way up the Spiral, and intentionally LET GO of each flake or nugget as it tumbles through the Event Horizon of the WormHole at the center of the Wheel and goes into the small collection bucket at the back.
The more JOY you can feel at letting go of the gold, the better.
GOLD PANNING AS A MEDITATION EXERCISE
There is no better way to FORCE the concentration of attention than gold panning. Not only the attention, but the TYPE of attention is dictated by the necessities of correct gold panning.
- You MUST watch to make certain that the gold does not spill over the side.
- You MUST carefully and assiduously RESETTLE the contents of the pan.
- You MUST nurse the lighter materials over the side without losing gold.
- You MUST be alert for variations in tilt, angle or direction of pan riffles.
- You MUST be aware of the PROCESS of separation of gold from gravel.
- You MUST breathe and move properly to assure correct panning.
- You MUST master the rotation of the hands with the pan in a perfect circle.
- You MUST learn the exact “right height” of the pan under the water.
- You MUST keep your attention locked in EVERY SECOND until pan is done.
- You MUST be constantly aware of nuggets or flakes as they appear.
Well, there you have it, the Ten Commandments of Gold Panning as Moses might have published, had he a website and a blog back in the day.
With the attention so locked-in to the performance of the action, there is a good chance you’ll be able to use the exercise to expand your attention and willpower, possibly even extending into unwanted addictions and other social areas with new-found willpower.
Will-Power is only one of the many possible benefits of gold-panning as a meditation. How about not just accumulating the stuff, but putting it to the kind of use that only gold can have.
I mean, of course, that there are some things that even billions of dollars can’t buy.
Poverty is one of those things money just can’t buy, but there are other things that money can’t move, equal or duplicate, and Altar Items and Devotionals are among those things that money can’t buy and that you can’t make out of money, but you CAN make out of gold.
As a matter of fact, gold has long been recognized as THE primary METAL OF CHOICE for Offertory Items and Altar Items in every religion and spiritual practice in the world throughout all of history.
GOLD statuary, GOLD Altar Items, GOLD Jewelry, GOLD crowns and GOLD Hand Devices such as a cross, ankh or staff are all not merely accepted forms of spiritual contact and devotion, but actually necessary for some practices.
Some practices demand SILVER, some insist on COPPER or BRONZE and still others deny all metals, preferring instead CRYSTALS or GLASS, or in some Paleolithic and Neolithic societies, it turned out to be a rare form of clam shell, but it’s always the same CORE idea, which is that the Altar Device is MADE OF SOME RARE AND HIGHLY VALUED MATERIAL.
This is to show COMMITMENT to the devotion, because clearly you are not going to sell or personally profit from the ownership of the GOLD altar item or spiritual assist, such as a bell, dorje or incense holder made of GOLD, SILVER or COPPER.
And that right there is a great idea for your Shrine, Altar or Dojo Workspace — to have ALL your ritual instruments made from the gold recovered from your SPIRAL WHEEL OF LIFE SHRINE.
Of course, hundreds of years from now, when gold is at U.S. $35,000,000.00 a gram, your SOLID PURE GOLD Altar Items will all be melted down, but eventually, so will the three inner planets, so sooner or later, it’s inevitable that you will lose those items. Learn to live without disappointment for a refreshing change.
SPIRAL WHEEL AS A DEVOTIONARY DEVICE
Again, it’s a matter of HOW YOU MAKE THE ALTAR around the Spiral Wheel of Life. The cost of a serious Devotionary will be … hold your breath … about $1500.00 spot cash. Why? Because a DEVOTIONARY is different, very different.
Devotionary means just that — Devotion given freely and without reservation, in Pure Love. Okay, so then what?
Devotion relies on OFFERINGS of various kinds, from MONEY and GIFTS and FOOD and MONEY and TIME and ENERGY and PERSONAL COMMITMENTS all the way to PURE GOLD OFFERTORIES, and that’s what I’m going to recommend for the PRO.
You take the GOLD from the OFFERINGS in the SHRINE and MELT THEM and CAST THEM into OFFERTORIES, to be GIVEN to the GURU — that’s NOT me, it’s whomever YOU accept as your Teacher or Guru, such as Swami Brahma Vedanta, Purna, Mr. Lee — we are all the same, there is no difference.
I’ll tell you again, I don’t want or need your money. Give it where you want it to do the most good according to your own purposes as a Being.
So How Do You Do This???
Put a picture of your Guru in the PHOTO HOLDER of your Spiral Wheel of Life Shrine. If there is no PHOTO HOLDER, you didn’t get my help in making your Spiral Shrine. Learn to ask for help — that’s LESSON #1 in the ABD.
But how do you create the GOLD OFFERTORIES to place in and around the Shrine and to use as Invocational and Altar Tools???
Hey, that’s my specialty. I helped you do this when you were Sumerian, when you were Babylonian, when you were Egyptian, when you were Greek, Roman and when we all lived in caves, and I can help you learn to do this for yourself now, too.
Actually, it’s best if you do that sort of operation for yourself, but who has a burnout kiln, a #3 Head on an Oxy Torch, a Face Mask, Vacuum Pump and Steel-Head Vibrating Investment Drain, 4-inch and 6-inch Casting Rings, a set of Torching Tongs, some Dark Glass Welding Goggles and a Kerr Centrifugal Caster these days?
Not many, I’d wager.
So here’s what I CAN arrange:
You can attend one of my Devotional Gold Panning Workshops, where you can learn those skills, use my equipment, and do the work while you’re at the workshop, bringing the results home with you or leaving them here for use by others if you like — either choice is fine with everyone here, and especially with me. If I wanted or needed your money, I’d find an easier way to earn it.
My objective is to get you started in the Higher Dimensions and get you used to Higher Dimensions, Higher Spaces and Higher Consciousness, so you’ll be better able to work and to tolerate Eternity.
That’s where the Spiral Wheel of Life can really help, if you’re willing to make it an addiction as equally powerful as the addiction under which you’re currently suffering.
You can MAKE AN HOURLY OFFERING, and MAKE THE HOURLY OFFERING A COMPULSIVE OBSESSIVE ADDICTION that you can’t turn off and can’t deny.
You think that won’t work? Try it and be amazed. I know how the mind is constructed and what it takes to MetaProgram it into useful format for Work Purposes, and this does work.
I’m always amused when someone comes up to me and picks at my sleeve and says, “Hey, you know what? That thing you told me, that meditation thing…it really works.”
Why the hell are you surprised? Do you expect to be ripped off and disappointed at every turn? Well, get used to no disappointment, but disappointment is a hard habit to break and it’s even harder to live without, when it just vanishes all by itself.
So bottom line, make the Offertory every hour on the hour, WITHOUT FAIL, just as you’d take a drug, alcohol, cigarette or sex every hour without fail if that be your addiction, and WATCH WITH AMAZEMENT as your UNWANTED ADDICTION loses its power over you, and it’s ALL ABOUT SPIRIT, allowing the Spirit to DOMINATE the organic body/mind.
DEVOTIONARY OFFERINGS
Intentionally Addictive Devotional Prayer & Offerings is a very powerful spiritual answer to organic addictions, and it may be the solution to some of your problems as a Being.
Prayer and Devotion do not take the place of medical treatment, but it is medically recognized that Spiritual Practices can ASSIST the treatment of any addiction or disease.
What a strange and hardened culture that requires such a disclaimer. Try it and see for yourself, then tell others with the same problem. Don’t forget, it’s not daily, it’s HOURLY, but only during your normal waking hours.
However, if your particular addiction requires a refill every 15 minutes, then the OFFERTORY PRAYER has to also be every 15 minutes, in order to gain the frequency of the INVOLUNTARY ADDICTION, and even at $2.50 a pop, it can add up fast, but it will never be as expensive as a drug or alcohol addiction.
Why do we say that alcohol is different? It’s a drug, too. Alkanes are drugs. Nicotine is a drug. Caffeine is a drug.
Don’t ever forget that the OFFERTORY PRAYER is a VOLUNTARY ADDICTION and that it requires YOU to keep a VOLUNTARILY OBSESSIVE attitude about it.
In order to not feed the other addictions, you will want to ascribe permanently and irrevocably to the notion that you must never SPEND THE OFFERTORY GOLD.
I can’t think of a faster way to break the Quantum Bond than to spend the GOLD that you collected for the Shrine. There’s an issue here that you would be well to heed; things that are Quantum-Connected have the peculiar property of being not time-bound, meaning that they will retroactively be whatever they eventually become, something like a beam of photons under direct observation.
The photons will seem to be particles all the way back to their point of origin.
See You At The Top!!!
