LWC Theory and Monastery

  Why is Song of Songs (also called Song of Solomon) important for all Christians today? It may not be for reasons you might think. Read on to find out why. " Stay awake ." (Mark 13:35-37)  Christ wants the disciples to stay awake. But you may point out that He Himself slept (Luke 8:23, Matthew 8:24). How can He tell others to stay awake, because He was recorded sleeping? He might have been awake although He was sleeping. Asleep in physical body, yet awake in a dream. Dreaming is a method that allows us to stay awake and be conscious - even when our physical bodies are sleeping. Dreaming is an experience found throughout the scriptures. It is very much biblically endorsed. Today, it is called lucid dreaming when a person can induce consciousness to occur while they sleep. And they can even sometimes influence the events in a lucid dream. Does the Bible mention lucid dreaming anywhere? Yes. Can you guess where lucid dreaming is mentioned explicitly? In Song of Songs / Song of ...

  Some Basic Techniques of Zen First, I recommend the short comic book: Zen Speaks , by  Tsai Chih Chung. It's entertaining, interesting, and even poignant at times. And if you wish, you can research some of the events and people referenced by the book. You can read it on scribd.com freely  here . You could think of zen as as maximizing absorption, and efficiency of absorption, of useful (progressive to fulfillment of your desire(s)) Contentment and/or Discontentment from one or more of these categories (Time, Situation, Environment; but also others like entities and people) by changing self/perception by usefully technical and/or intuitive means. Absorption of (coe that is) discontentment and/or contentment can then be used to collect, or immediately use that kind/state of coe. Many times, dissonance can be useful for discontentment for progress for your own personal usage/desirous fulfillment. Remember harmonization and dissonance from previous LWC books. Harmony; like...

  Buddhism and Christianity Any sort of Buddhism that rejects Christ as the way and the truth and the life, is wrong. However, Buddhism seems to have begun sometime well before 0 BC, before Christ's birth as it was accounted in the Gospels. At that time, that early form of Buddhism was technically not contrary to Christianity. In its early days, Buddhism did not reject Christ, because Christ's birth was not recorded in the Gospels as happening until after Buddhism began. They did not know of that Someone to reject yet. In ancient times, Buddhism apparently was not directly against the Old Testament either, as the ancient Buddhist people did not seem to live in the land of Canaan which the Israelites were instructed to conquer. So they did not appear to get in Israel's way as they left Egypt, neither did they seem to be contrary to Israel's conquest of Canaan. Nor did the Indians seem to be a party of the covenant between Abraham and God. Nor the one between Israel and G...

 If the idea of reincarnation is biblically supported, then how can that be reconciled with the idea of hell? Even if souls are immortal, then they can possibly still be trapped (Psalm 57:6, 124:7), maybe broken up into pieces (of coe, presumably, Matthew 21:44), bought and sold (Revelation 18:13), made impure (Ezekiel 4:14), and/or cut off from other souls (Genesis 17:14). Each of these implies that the soul can recover and/or be recovered from its former status. Even broken things can be put back together again, or at least enough to be similar to its former self. As for hell, in Matthew 10:28, the word that has been translated "destroy" is actually likely a mistranslation. A similar word, but a different version, is used in Matthew 10:6, referring to sheep of the house of Israel. Why would Christ send his disciples to sheep that have been destroyed? The word likely has the connotation of lost or even broken and scattered, or any of the aforementioned statuses, from which a...

 The Heart Plane There are quite a few biblical references to hearts of humans being connected in some way together. One of the most obvious and direct verses is Psalm 33:15. From the Hebrew, it is read like: "The fashioning together of their hearts, the discernment towards all of their doings." The word YeKheD there is used in many other verses to mean "together".   Another possible older reference to human hearts being associated together, is in Genesis 6:5. This refers to the situation on earth that was before the great flood wherefrom Noah was saved. The verse notes that human activity was very bad then, and their thoughts were evil often. It mentions where those thoughts were - in a heart. However, the Hebrew word was: "his heart", which is a singular heart. And obviously the Hebrew language had the ability to express plural hearts, as was the case in Psalms 33:15. But the word in Genesis 6:5 denotes a singular heart for the noun HeADeM, the human (pe...

  Eagles are related to time and time travel multiple times in the bible: - The Israelites were guided through the desert on eagle's wings (Exodus 19:4), and some of their stuff did not wear out (Deuteronomy 29:5), suggesting that the temporal deterioration did not affect those things. - Both in the book of Job and in the Gospels, (animalian?) eagles are said to gather where the slain are, suggesting that they can move very quickly, in order to be at the location of any dead person, possibly to take advantage of the death somehow. Like a Santa Claus of folklore, for eagles to be at every slain thing, wouldn't they have to be at many different places at many different times? - Psalm 103:5. How else could someone's youth be renewed unless it was changed? The Hebrew word translated "renew" can also mean "to repair" or to "restore" but these have the same implication of changing the past, perhaps making an alternate timeline. - David's eulogy o...
