The use of the dictionary is very valuable, never assume you know a word!

Here is an example of what I am talking about:

The Word Thanks

Pop open Dictionary

In Websters New Dictionary the definition says:

an expression of gratitude.

Well that’s simple. But notice I made 2 words bold and remember, never assume you know what a word means. So now to help you get a full understanding of what thanks really is we begin this Quest.

1. Look up expression
2. Look up gratitude
3. remember while your looking up the words the main key in the definition of thanks is expression of gratitude and ask your self “when your thankful do you give full expression of gratitude”? Be sure to Highlight gratitude in your mind because there is a feeling associated with this word (Thanks) that is over looked everyday in our life.
4. Try to reach this feeling by looking deeper into the 1st two words above.

So I just did the steps above to a point and had my fingers separating about 5 sections to other key words throughout the dictionary in those definitions.

Like this:

The word gratitude stays fairly simple and leads right back to it’s self in the word thankfulness

Definition of GRATITUDE

Definition of THANKFUL

Now note in your mind in the first definition the words “conscious of benefit received” and we know most everyone that says thanks, this is the reason.

in 2nd definition we are already on that path so lets go to number 3.

The word Glad

This is another word easily assumed that we know what it means. we may know part of it but do we know the full depths of it? same as the word we started with Thanks.

Definition of GLAD

Now we’re getting somewhere!

Everything in this word has to do with the feeling I mentioned above in My sentence #3.

You can continue on as far as you feel you need by choosing words out of these sentences now like:

1. pleasure
2. joy
3. delight
4. happy
5. disposition

I think you see where I am going with this by now, this is part of the Quest. I chose the simple path first by looking into the word gratitude and now I would go back to the word expression and sort through it like I just showed you on gratitude. The word expression may be a little more involved with more words to look up so I didn’t want to lose anyone’s interest and kept it simple and to the point by going the way I did.

Let the spirit Guide you through this Quest (as the same in the music) and notice the highlights the spirit gives to you whether physically by sight or spiritually within. Some may call it your 3rd eye.

Hopefully you read this far to see this and if so, Thanks!

Here is an example of Bible translations and changes “by men” in just one verse

All of these still say the same thing, just in a different context or arrangement. So why do religions fight over their beliefs? All streams lead to the ocean, if your route takes a little longer it don’t really matter. As long as you get there.

<< 2 Peter 2:19 >>

Here is my experience first hand with the King James Version Bible

Short sweet and simple is how it works. You have to realized several different possibilities (obviously) since man is a corrupt creature and uses things to their benefit we really have to stay focused within our self as Jesus Taught us. His Father (John 14:10) is where his information came from as he told us:

John 14:12

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

By living the examples Christ set for us when he was here according to the Bible, He would go into the desert by himself. This represents A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE to all of us. If you are caught up in the rat race, you never have time to center or syncronize or recharge your battery so to speak. Instead, your battery starts to get drained and when this happens you become susceptible to the ways or the world and the negative in it. But by going out alone (just you and your Father within you), you keep yourself focused and on the right path and re energized in his Love.

Music is a great resource for this.

“If you try to mirror what Jesus did when he was here, how can you go wrong?”

The Bible is not ordinary and CAN NOT be read like a ordinary book or failure to grasp the truth is inevitable. This is Why Jesus Spoke in Parables. Parables are used to make sure the spirit gets the message. The man part of us is to literal and creates contradiction throughout the Bible. Thus leaving NON BELIEVERS everywhere throughout the world.

When you are at the right time of your life (usually a low) is when the message in the Bible (that is the true message) comes to you. Lifting you up spiritually to a clear, NO DOUBT that you just grasped the truth. For many, it is only explainable as miraculous.

Jesus Did not walk with a Bible and teach with a Bible. Everything he taught was from within him just as we have the same ability. We may pick the Bible up from titme to time to try and get a lift spiritually but we must remember this. WHO WROTE THE BIBLE? HOW MUCH WAS LEFT OUT? HOW MUCH WAS ONLY MEANT TO BENEFIT THE CHURCH AND THE GOVERNMENT?

Ronnie James Dio wrote a song called holy diver, in this song is a verse that says,”between the velvet lies, there’s a truth as hard as steel” and I always compare this to the multitude of versus in the Bible that in most cases cause contradiction, which equals unsyncronized, which then equals, fighting and arguing and turning people off to God.

The comparison Spiritual Quest Through Music gives here to the Bible is the exact same to the words in the music. We need to search for the Parables, not the Fairy tales that never are proven and make war.

I am not here to try to discredit the Bible in any way, but the way man reads and interprets it and the Music is what I question. Everyone of us has a different learning curve and different experiences in life that change the outcome of the way The Bible is absorbed. This statement holds true in our teachings and upbringings as a child going through school. Even the most brilliant person can have a hard time communicating with others if they always try to reach others from their level which is way over their head and vice versa. So it is up to the more experience person to observe the situation at hand and use what tools necessary (mainly Love, Compassion, understanding and being non Judgmental) to find the way to reach others. Sometimes silence is Best and the spirit does the rest. I liken this to a baby being fed a bottle and when it gets too much it will vomit up or burp up the excess. You don’t want this!

Remember, sometimes it was just our choice of words or the arrangement of them that turns a person off. If you try to force something onto someone and can tell they are non receptive, then it’s time to back off and let the spirit work. This leaves room for respect to open the door the next time you cross each others path. If you left on a disrespectful note, the door is slammed shut.

In the depths of our imagination is a beauty within

Needing to be found by your Child again

Every single one of us has tasted of this pure

In our adult obstruction, you’ll find the cure

We leave that inner child for responsibilities of life

This separation severed by an invisible knife

For richer or poorer, no man knows why

In this equality, we still all die

So while you’re here, thinking you’re alone

Look deep within yourself, this is your home

Search for a feeling, it’s Love you’ll be shown

In this Love is a Light that Shine’s in the dark

Kinda like Noah knew to build an ark

Of all the emotions experienced in our time

Only one that I know of can make that chime

It’s Love all around you Christ tried to show

In this Spiritual Quest He’ll come and you’ll Know

Feelings lifting you higher than you ever knew possible

Just remember this, it’s NOT a mission impossible

Spiritual Quest Through Music is only a guide

Trying to show you the map and nothing to Hide

Knowing what people will say about such lewd remarks

Jesus was a Blasphemer in the eyes of the hierarch’s

So being given this gift to share with the World

Understanding the risks, yet un burled

I’m willing to take this chance to awaken your Love

As it was awoken in me by something above

Finding out the truth, is up to you to believe

When you make the right choice, watch what you receive

Like a remembering of something you’ve always known

Through your inner child is where you’ll be shown

The Soul Searching is up to you[/poem]

Question:
What if I can’t grasp this concept?

Answer:
As long as you keep trying to hear the music and know that it is Christ singing to you. The more intent you listen, the more your inner Spirit connects and starts rewarding your efforts.

Question:
How do I know when it is Christ singing to me or I am singing to him?

Answer:
Your Spirit knows. Even if at first you thought is was Christ singing to you, change the roll and see how it fits. Sometimes we forget to realize that when you thought it was you singing that part, it was really him. When you connect to this your heart moves greatly because you actually can feel his pain on his level of how easy we have all forgotten him. A lot of times we feel sorry for ourself, but remember if you were hurt emotionally, he was hurt first. This is because he is in you and knows more about you than anyone could ever know.

Question:
How can the dictionary help me on my Quest?

Answer:
Here is an example:
Take the word “intent” I used above for example. You have a pretty good idea what it means but that doesn’t mean you have the full true meaning for the context it was used in. So in the word intent arises a few more key words that need looked up. 1 is, “meaning”, 2 is “significance”, 3 is “intend”. Now the thing you see about these being key words is, they are all connected (by way of similar meaning) to the originating word that started your Quest. Now when you look up the 3 words I just showed you above, the same thing will happen again in those words. Sometimes the cycle ends quickly and drops you back off at the originating word and other times you won’t have enough fingers to mark the pages. This is part of the game and the fun of our Quest.
Have you heard the saying “when you assume something you make an ass out of u and an ass out of me?” Now that you have been enlightened to this concept, your Soul, Spirit and everything about you (if you are feeling the transformation) is now like a baby thirsting for more milk. So due to this your Spirit wants to be taught in the Truth and to get the full spectrum of the Truth the dictionary reteaches you now from a Spiritual point of view rather than the literal way of the World.

Question:
What is the best way to go about what you are talking about? Can you recommend a strategy?
Answer:
What I recommend may not be possible for many. I compare this to waxing a floor. You have to strip the floor down to the bare tile and then start from scratch with your wax and cleaners to get the full shine. The same holds true here. You basically need to somehow try to forget (or at least put aside) what you have already had contaminate you. If you don’t do this, you will never know what the music holds for you. If you do this, you will end up like the shiny new wax floor and will glow to all others. The best way to accomplish this is to KEEP AN OPEN MIND.

Question:
What about this Love you talk of?

Answer:
The Love I speak of is unique. Unfortunatly there are many different forms of the word and many different emotions that come with each. The Closest form I can give you is, if you come from a good family that gave you all the Love they had to offer when you were young, it is this type of nurturing and remembering that you want to bring with you on your Quest. This Love is meant to be shared with all and should never be limited to just your family. Out of this Love grows an even stronger Love for all Mankind. The same Love that Christ died for. This is the unconditional Love I speak of.

As I said before, some people were not brought up like this (with a good family background) and have been deprived of ever even knowing or understanding this feeling. So for these people it takes the ones that are in tune to bring them up as a child of their own. These situations (to me) are the most rewarding because you have to systematically feel your way through the individuals life and let the Spirit guide the way (most of the time without them even knowing, in the beginning stages). This is some of the silence I have spoke of. When you see a person like this (that has never felt Love before) connect to the Spirit that you let work freely through you and you watch the Love come alive in that person. This is a very rewarding feeling and uplifting to your Spirit and the individual that you just helped nurture. I myself never go into this looking for any reward. It’s just part of who I am naturally and I know from experience that there is a reward.

Question:
What is the best time to try to get in tune?

Answer:
All the time… But the absolute best when your just starting out and for me to this day is, when I’m by myself with no other interference around. For me this place is in my car by myself , just me and the Lord, driving. This is also one of the examples I mention that Christ set for us. He use to go to the desert by himself and get out of the rat race so to speak. When he did this it was kind of like recharging a battery but instead replenishing his Spirit with his Father. I feel that he was going to his classroom and able to absorb everything his Father was giving him and when he went back to the crowd he was remotivated by the Spirit to Share all of this Love and understanding.
If we all followed this example now and then it would give us a chance to center within ourselves and really get in tune the way Jesus did. If your always in the middle of the crowd, you never get the full perspective of life. The other part of this is, we all put off an energy. When we are in the middle of all of this energy of different people, (whether you know them or not) they are all around you and this chaotic energy interferes with ours. Too many people out of tune, too many people on different wave lengths, too many people negative. All of this unconsciously drains us. If you have ever noticed, it is very easy to get sucked into the trap of a negative person. This negativity tries to grab you and suck you in so that you are now in a bad mood also. This is easily defeated with positivity and evaluating, observing and understanding the persons needs at the time. Rather than opening your mouth without thinking (which just ads fuel to the fire), you evaluate what you can get away with saying while giving your Loving energy to them but not ignoring and maybe even biting your tongue. Before you know it you controlled the entire episode and caused a positive outcome rather than negative one.
