The Matrix as the Sanctuary

By BBennettJ • Jul 1st, 2009 • Category: Lead Story

The Matrix as the Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is a place of safety – that cannot be defiled by fear or torment for (because of) the One by whose power it stands
Its very existence establishes its Creator. -
But earthly sanctuaries – mere shadows and reflections of that eternal Matrix – are subject to violation, desecration, and abomination.
Even [...]

Intrinsic, Inherent – Sensible

‘O, taste and see that the Lord is good,” – “For we were eyewitnesses of His majesty, – what our hands have held – and what we have seen and heard – for the life was made manifest.” – The Disciples

Today’s norm is to ignore the obvious truth in [...]



Holy Ground

Holy Ground
It’s a paradigm shift – an anomaly in the matrix,
We are walking,
Yes we’re walking,
On Holy ground

I have never seen it like this before
More people are talking
More people are walking
And they’re headed for the door

We’re through the looking glass
Standing on the river’s shore
The beast is rising up
We can’t go back no more

The siren’s song comes [...]

Beautiful Feet
“How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.” – Paul, formerly Saul the Murderer
All too often we get sidetracked when we speak of religion, or the gospel, or spirituality, or mysticism. More often than not, when we are talking of these [...]



Enclaves

Enclaves
As the world around us becomes more wrought with strife – when the stress of expressing ourselves , our ideas; and our inner thoughts and heart is assailed on every side – so much so that we calculate our exposure of who we truly are – it is in these times and circumstances – these [...]



Sacred Geometry

By BBennettJ • Jan 17th, 2009 • Category: Lead Story

Sacred Geometry
Water does not flow below the bedrock.
Neither does light enter into a space obscured by the slightest obstruction.
We do not speak plainly of things that we do not understand.
What is “friendly” to us is usually the basis of our surroundings and our environment,
And, the essence of our lives is not found in our possessions [...]



Deep Waters

Deep Waters
For most of us – there will come a time in our journey when we will come face to face with deep waters. – and there have been seasons where entire peoples, or nations – even the world and all its inhabitants – have faced deep waters.
We have entered such a time.
“Pray that your [...]



The Coming Destruction

The Coming Destruction

There is hardly anything more desolate – than a deserted marketplace. – Ossian

Asia is the factory – Africa the laboratory – Europe – the Residence; The Middle East – the proving grounds – South America – just a security holding; – a vacation – mysticism & resources; – and America – [...]



“Virtue Hath Gone Out of Me”

“Virtue Hath Gone Out of Me”

The woman with an issue of blood – came discreetly behind Him – and touched the hem of His garment – and immediately the issue of blood ceased.” – Matthew

And Jesus, turning to the throng – asked his disciples – “Who hath touched me, for virtue hath gone out of [...]



Mumbai

Mumbai

I think the question we need to be asking ourselves is “what in the world would motivate these people – to walk into the Mumbai financial district – knowing that they were going to die, that they would be going up against the best that the Indian Army had to offer, and open fire on [...]
