I would greatly appreciate some help in understanding my very first memory. Did anybody have a similar experience?
Well my first memory is this: I was experiencing myself as a huge roundish gathering of lights. Every gesture I did made these lights turn different colors. I had a feeling compared to being in love, but 100 times more intense in being vulnerable, sensitive and open. I was nothing but these feelings and lights - it was magical. At the same time I knew my parents were blind to all of these and that their actions were not emanating from something similar to mine, but from an exterior. I did not feel at all connected to them but was seriously wondering how was I going to live in such a cold (sort of robotic) world? Truly did not want to be part of it.
My perspective changed soon, but this is a very powerful first memory.

Hello all, I hope you can help me solve this dream I have been having over the past nights.
Dream 1 - It started off with my son loosing his legs when he was a baby and being abandoned in a pram with me looking at him in a field in the pouring rain and being unable to help him.
Dream 2 - The following night he was in hospital with a friend, the friend had lost his legs and my son had lost part of his but was still able to walk.
Dream 3 - Last night we were in a hotel room waiting for my husband to come back from work, on his return he had been given concert tickets for a concert that night, we werent to happy that he was going but he did. My son and I were scared of being in the hotel room alone and rightly so because all of a sudden through the window came gun fire which missed me but hit my son.

As I am sure you can understand I am quite upset about these dreams over the past few nights, my son is 18 and is am 40 - if this has any relevence. Thank you for any help you can provide me.

Hi everybody,
I am new to this. Hey, if a guy sends me lyrycs of songs that contain phrases such as "give me one reason to stay" "feeling this", etc., what should I make of it? Would I be right to think he is sending me a message?

Hi, I'm new and haven't quite worked out whether this forum addresses a certain spiritual discipline or spirituality in general yet, so until then I've been looking for an answer to something spiritual.

Recently, I was looking for more information on the zodiac sign Gemini when I stumbled across a site which outlined the sign as belonging to a number of 'glamours' and the Love-Wisdom Ray 2...

I was wondering if anyone could shed some more light on these terms and possibly the concept behind them?

I resonate quite strongly with what I'm led to believe is personality Ray 2 and the glamours attached to it and am really interested in learning more.

I am at a place in my spiritual walk where I am researching and praying for the correct answer of which day (Saturday or Sunday) is the true Sabbath. A few were leading me to Saturday but this has brought much confusion. I keep thinking "never attend church again?" What about "fellowship?" What about sharing our experiences of God? Where then would one turn? It has kept me from joining a particular church and not even to attend church the last three weeks because I am waiting for direction and clarity from God.

This week, from out of the blue, a man from a completely different church just happened to pay me a visit. He said he received an e-mail that asked that nobody contact me again in the future. (I have also been researching various churches). I had been reading the bible and researching for about 5 hours before this man pulled up. He started discussing EXACTLY what I was reading and studying.

I completed his sentences and he was absolutely amazed. He asked if he could bring his wife out next week to visit me again. Just, yesterday, Saturday, he stopped by again (from out of the blue) and brought his wife even though we weren't suppose to meet until Wednesday.

We ended up discussing the Sabbath. They told me that the Saturday Sabbath was part of the OT - in the days of Moses.

I keep reading versus in the bible that say "the first day of the week" in the NT.

This is what I came across?


What we need to do is look at what transpired on the first day of the week and then look at the scriptural evidence for the assembly on the first day in the New Testament.
1. Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week after the Sabbath (John 20:1). He was the first fruit until eternal life others were also raised Mt.27:53. the resurrection is the capstone of our faith and the proving of the new covenant. he was raised for our justification..
2. Jesus appeared to ten of His disciples on that first day of the week (John 20:19).If he appeared on the 7th day do you think the Sabbatarians would use this to promote the Sabbath ?
3. Jesus waited one week, and on the next first day of the week appeared to the eleven disciples (John 20:26).
4. The promised coming of the Holy Spirit was fulfilled on the first day of the week, the day of Pentecost he was sent, (Pentecost by law came on the first day of the week (Lev. 23:16).
5. On the first day of the week the first gospel sermon preached by an apostle on the death and resurrection of Jesus was by Peter (Acts 2:14).
6. On that first day of the week the three thousand converts were united into the New Testament covenant separating from Judaism (Acts 2:41). While at the first Pentecost 3,000 were slain on this day God reversed it and instead they were given eternal life. The law kills the new covenant gives life.
7. On that same first day of the week the rite of Christian baptism into the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was administered for the first time (Acts 2:41).
8. At Troas Paul preached to the assembled Christians on the first day of the weekThe only example of the Lord's supper being practiced on Sunday (Acts 20:6, 7). So did the churches of Galatia and Corinth.
9. Paul instructed the Christians at Corinth to make contributions on the first day of the week (I Cor. 16:2).Why did Paul specifically give orders to the church for this to be done on the "first day of the week." Offerings are a part of worship itself. Offerings are a part of our worship and since offerings took place on the first day of the week, wouldn't it make sense that worship also took place on the same day of the week. This is only day in the New Testament that commands Christians to give, they would have to be gathered to do so.
If Sunday was not an allowable day to worship or teach on then none of this would have occurred.
There is a biblical numerology in which 7 is the number of completion (of rest) the week is completed in 7 days. The number 8 is a symbol of new beginnings. Both days were used as In Ex.12. given at the same time.


The Sabbath commemorated a finished creation with rest. The first day commemorates a finished redemption and a new work.
The Sabbath commemorates Israel’s deliverance from Egyptian slavery and God resting on the 7th day. The first day commemorates Christ’s resurrection, victory over death and eternal punishment . It gives hope that all who believe will also be resurrected from the dead.
The Sabbath is a day of rest and quiet. The first day is a day of worship and praise. Sabbath means rest, not Saturday! There were other Sabbaths given to Israel on other days. The Sabbath was made for man to rest, God was telling Israel to keep the rest, their focus was not a day.
Christians met in houses for their assemblies Philemon 2, Romans 16:5, Col.4:15. According to the Sabbatarian's they were to assemble together in the temple so they are breaking the Sabbath not keeping it.
The New Testament, principle is given in Heb.10:24-25: "And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." If on does not want to assemble with the rest of the believers during a service certainly reveals a spiritual anemia. The day of the week to assemble is of the church’s choice whether it be Monday, Wednesday or Saturday. Many churches today have Saturday services as well as Sunday. The New Testament has no legislation for which day we are to assemble. History shows the early church chose Sunday because of its significance, not because they hated the Sabbath. Almost all the church the first 10 years were Jews they certainly knew the difference. How can a believing church meet in an unbelieving Synagogue. To meet together in worship is beneficial to oneself and others. It stirs up others to hear what God is doing in each others life. This verse of Hebrews tells us to encourage each other by being present.
1 Cor. 16:1-2: "Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come". To give has always been a means of worship. Paul sets the rule telling them as they gather together to take up an offering. This is not a tithe as in the O T. but a principle of as the Lord has prospered you, ( giving cheerfully not out of obligation) there is an absence of legalism that one would find under the law. Notice he says that he has instructed the church’s in Galatia the same as the Corinthians. This certainly indicates this was not an isolated command but a common practice during even the apostles time to gather on Sunday.
Acts 20:7: "Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight." When to come together was an option of choice not obligation. Obviously this was decided upon and they were already carrying it out by the apostles. To break bread consisted of what is called a love feast, eating a meal and taking communion which is to be done in an assembly. Paul was speaking til midnight. The Jewish first day began on sundown Saturday so this took place Saturday night Through the first day, after the Sabbath.
The truth is 9 of the commandments Ex.20:3-4 are repeated and incorporated in the New Testament epistles but the 4th one is not, why?
The 1st and 2nd commandment- which prohibit the worship of other Gods (50 times) and idols are repeated (12 times) Acts 15:29, 17:16: Rom.1:25; 1 Cor.6:9-10, 10:14: 1 Jn.5:21: Rev.21:8, 22:15.
The 3rd commandment of reverencing his name not to take it in vain (4 times ) Ex.20:7 is also repeated in the New Testament Mt.5:33; James 5:12.
The 4th commandment- ? Where do the apostles teach to keep the Sabbath? Its missing even for the Gentiles who had no concept of the Jewish laws would need to be instructed.
the 5th commandment- to respect your parents is also repeated (6 times) Mt.15:4-9: Eph.6:1-3 and Rom.13:1-7.
The 6th commandment- of forbidding murder Ex.20:13 is in the New Testament (4 times). Rom.13:9; Mt.19:18 and the true intent is explained in Mt.5:21-22
The 7th commandment- prohibiting adultery and any sexual sin Ex.20:14 is also found ( 12 times) in Acts.15:20; Rom.2:22, 13:13: 1 Cor.5:11, 6:9, 13,15, 18: 10:8: Eph.5:3,11-12.
The 8th commandment- forbids one to be dishonest, stealing,Ex.20:15 is found in the New Testament (6 times) Rom. 2:21 Eph. 4:28: 1Thess.4:6: Jms.5:4; Mk.10:19; Lk.18:20.
The 9th commandment- condemning a false witness, to lie Ex.20:16 is found in the New Testament (4 times) Mt.15:19,19:18; Lk.3:14 and 1 Tim.1:9-10.
The 10th commandment- tells us not to covet Ex.20:17 is repeated (9 times) in Mk.7:21-23; Lk.12:15,33-34; Rom.1:29, 13:9 1 Cor.5:11; 6:10; Eph.5:3.
Isn’t it amazing the one law that the legalists use to bully everyone around to show their disobedience is not found specifically in the New Testament. Why? Not because its practice was self evident as some claim! Its just as self evident not to murder. This was law before the 10 commandments but it is repeated often. The answer is in the fact the Sabbath is not suppose to be there! Not once in the New Testament is breaking the Sabbath called a sin or do we find anyone punished for it. Its ceremonial not moral because the very things forbidden for that day are allowed on all others , this would not be so if it was a moral law.
While Sabbatarian's state "there is no command to worship on Sunday" They can't produce a single command that the Church was to assemble on the Sabbath for worship? If there is one in the New Testament epistles (the teachings for the Church), please bring it to our attention and we will do it. Instead we find the very opposite
Contrasting the Sabbath day in the Old Testament covenant; and the first day in the New Testament covenant
Neither Jesus nor the apostles teach it necessary for the believer to keep the Sabbath. There is no command after the death and resurrection for the Church to keep the Sabbath as an obligation to Christ nor is it a salvation issue (actually Galatians makes it a gospel issue- if one adds it destroys the gospel of grace.) The epistles were mostly corrective letters reinforcing what was taught in person by the apostles and to add further revelation to what was being taught. There was absolutely no warning against Sunday worship that would be construed as pagan worship. In fact we find it is the very opposite, they were given freedom where they did not have before.
At the Jerusalem council in Acts 15 dealing with the teaching of the Judaizer's and how the Gentiles are to practice their Christianity it does not mention the Sabbath. The very law (circumcision) that is a requirement in the Abrahamic covenant and a condition in the Mosaic is rejected in the N.C.. Under the Abrahamic covenant it was for Jews only under the Mosaic it was mandatory for the Jews and the gentile proselytes showing their submission to the law (Lev.12:3) Paul states "for I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to the whole law. (Gal.5:3) This can be substituted with any part of the Mosaic law, diet, clothing and the Sabbath. The Hebrew epistles such as James and Hebrews written to dispersed Israel never refer to continue keeping the Sabbath day because even Jewish believers were not obligated.
"Grace that had been behind the law came to light through Jesus Christ so that it could be realized" (Arthur Pink)
D.N. Canright who left the 7th day Church in 1914 had this to say: For myself, I feel profoundly impressed that the Sabbatarian theory is built all the way through upon a narrow, forced, and unnatural interpretation of the Bible, one that cannot stand the test of fair criticism. The more I study it the more apparent these facts become to me. I am devoutly thankful to God that he has led me out of that error.
The New Testament Church clearly saw Sunday not as the substitute and replacement for the Jewish Sabbath. Sunday was not seen as a modification or as a new Sabbath, but as a day that stood on its own merits having its own meaning. The church was given the resurrection and used this day to proclaim the very capstone of our faith. What some have done is use fear and devious manipulation to prove one is under the wrath of God by simply worshipping on a day apart from the Covenant given to Moses.
There is no Scripture in the New Testament which states that God will punish Sabbath breakers. Their is in the New Testament statements for those who practice idolatry, thieves, liars, murderers, the covetous, the sexually immoral will be not enter the kingdom of God and be thrown into the lake of burning sulfur (1Cor.6:9,10; Eph.5:5-7; Rev. 21:8). These were included in the 10 commandments for Israel but notice the Sabbath is missing. Because it was not in the moral law category but a ceremonial one.
Acts 13:38-39: "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses." The Sabbath was part of the law of Moses.
Gal.4:10-11: "You observe days and months, and times, and years. I am afraid for you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain." To observe days the months years the holy days is a sign of weakness and immaturity. The DAYS are the Sabbaths and Holy days.Months are the new moon festival, seasons are the festivals of Lev.23, years are the sabbatical years and the year of jubilee. Paul did not want the New Testament. believer to become entangled in bondage again. We are free to live toward him every day, we don’t rest on one day or another but rest spiritually in him. To condemn those who do not practice the days, food codes and the rest of the law that has clearly been removed from the new covenant.

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this unusual experience, to give it a name or maybe some of you have gone through something alike.

A while ago i had an unusual experience of getting rid of bad 'energy' i think it's what it was. Well, all i did was something that came rather naturally. That day (it was early in the night) i had a strange sensation in my head (at the top in the back at the right) that was not a headache it was just a 'clogging' of some kind (is the way i can best explain it) that was somewhat annoying and i just knew i could get rid of this if i wanted to. It's like i knew i had the power to make it go away. So i closed my eyes and concentrated all of my mind towards making the bad energy leave my head. It worked fast and well.
After about 30 minutes of doing this the 'blockage' was completely gone (though i could have kept going) and i felt renewed. I had succesfuly gotten rid of the bad vibes in my head/mind and i felt better than i had in a long while. It felt as if i had regenerated my energy in my head and mind, something similar to how one feels after a good night sleep except better in a different way. It's as if the energy was flowing harmoniously now in my head. And i did this process the night after (because i had had such good results the first time) and i felt even better. The anxiety that i used to have in certain situations was no longer there ( i thought to myself 'this is what people with social anxiety need'), it was almost scary. I felt happy and felt so at ease all the time and content and it was just light and i just felt so well and at peace. I felt like smiling most of the time but i didn't because i didn't tell anybody about this, they would have thought i was crazy. I'm sharing here because i think you people will understand even better than i can. And i don't remember exactly every detail about those days but i remember i wasn't emotional like i usually was, my mind functioned better that way which is why my thoughts were very clear i am telling you like they have never been before and i thought to myself 'this is how ''intelligent'' people are, they are not really aware of their emotions, it's almost like they don't have them( of course they do just like i did they're just not aware and in touch with them). They function primarily via their brain/mind. Where i have always been the opposite, sometimes it's like i almost
don't have intelligence i have my feeling and that's all there is. When of course i have intelligence, i'm just mostly not in touch with it. My clear mind almost frightened me though. But it was great. A fabulous experience.

After about 5 days of doing this 'cleaning' i wasn't able to concentrate one day because there was too much noise around me and honestly i wanted
to go back to my old real self, to being me again, to be able to really feel emotions again. And then i never tried IT again without really noticing because there were a lot of other things that i needed to take care of.

Maybe i will try to do this again sometime, i'm just wondering what it is.
Can anyone please tell me if there's a name for this?
Or what you think it could be? Have any of you experienced something similar?

I would appreciate any help i can get. Thanks for reading all this.:)

hello guys, can anyone help me undertand the dream i had las night? i was at a beach and i received a letter from old acquantances that i did not remember (they are not people i know in real life). anyway in their company was a very handsome man (a doctor actually- a pediatrician) he was tall athletic an dark coloured and very nice and polite. the strange thing was that he showed that he liked me a lot and after flirting for a while we started a sort of relationship (nothing physical, just walking and hugging at hte same time. i also saw that we met my parents, and my mother was really satisfied and proud of this relationship. the last thing i saw was that he was sitting i was standing next to him, and he put his arm around my waist, and then i woke up ...ha ha ha can anyone help with the interpretation of this dream? thank you:shakehead:

I wonder………………….when you/me are not “thinking” spiritual……..when we are going about our day performing tasks..
………our minds simply on the task at hand……..no thoughts of energy, vibration, God, guides or veils….what are we then?

I ask this question because doesn’t it sometimes seem like our spiritual highs and lows are simply related to how much thought we
place on such things as God, energy, and even forums.

Where do the contents of these thoughts come from?

Personally, I think they all have their basis in religion. I think they all come from someone else and are not original.

I read the other day someone was voicing their support of the act of meditating on the forum and was stating how it is
the most important thing we can do spiritually.

Why do they think this? Is this not the foundation of many eastern religions? Is that why this individual really thinks this is important?

If you never heard that, what importance is it then?

I say again, what happens when we stop “thinking” spiritual? Is that the only place we are spiritual, in our thoughts?
What happens when we just stop thinking except to perform the task at hand or to decipher the scene before us?
Do we suddenly “feel” not spiritual and quickly dive back into our thoughts?
I know I tend to be like that.

Are our guides with us if we are not thinking about them being with us?

This probably doesn’t make much sense to many of you as it is probably something I wonder myself.
I thought I would share it anyways.
Please..I'm not looking for advice..I am just curious if any of you all feel this way at times
Peace and Blessings, :)

Hello, my child is in 5th grade. She has been crying since the first day of school in her classroom. Her teacher didn't feel it was important to tell me. Thats another question on its on. I found out from another parent when I started asking if their children were frustrated in the class. We had the teacher principle meeting and they wouldn't budge on taking her out of the class. I've found out in the process that the class is very loud and I'm not just talking about the kids. My concern here is for my child. I've taken her out of the school and I am in the process of getting here into a Christian school. I've done some reading and it sounds like she is emotionally sensitive. It seems there is a lot of reasons for it but for her it seems to be more about being frustrated when she doesn't get her work done or doesn't understand. Also she doesn't take yelling or harsh talk too well. Any comments would be appreciated.
