Very nicely said Max. Thanks for sharing the wisdom that flows through you.

Actually, what I was commenting on was the fact that each end of the "bell-shaped-curve" seems to be the most reactionary, or active, or convinced, or adamant in their actions and convictions.
On one end fear of the unknown breeds suspicion of almost anything...solely because it is unknown.
On the other end, fear of the known breeds suspicion of almost anything...solely because it is known...and judged detrimental.

Sadly, it seems, that instead of going forward toward something out of strength, most folks are going backward, away from something, out of one type of fear or another.

The average Joe, smack in the immense body of the bell itself, occupies that vast area between the extremes including the very center in which not much at all is suspected of anything, at all. And they really don't care.

I have a visual I keep in my head where the Bell-Shaped-Curve is inverted. Turned into a chalice of infinite capacity, where those at the edges those capable of the greatest conviction, conceptions, effort, output, acceptance, faith are also those who will receive the greatest, most abundant, most profound, sweetest, most powerful rewards. Not necessarily rewards of the physical type; but true rewards of the spirit.

Now, I have, on MOS, quite often, voiced my opinion regarding what I perceive as the differences between; religion, faith and spirituality.

A drunk can be religious in his quest for booze, addict for his next fix, a politician for "righting" wrongs or a hermit for seeking solitude.
Many religious people have no faith whatsoever and simply go through the motions. Sometimes because they were indoctrinated and can't conceive of doing otherwise. Sometimes because it's all they know and can't conceive that there may be any other alternatives.

I'm always reminded of Stevie Wonder; "When you believe in things you don't understand, and you suffer; Superstition ain't the way!"

"NO" Religion can also BE a religion. For some people no anything is their religion too.

Faith, for me, is the belief that there is far more to each of us, individually & collectively, than we can see, or feel, or, again, conceive of. And when one gives of themselves, for the benefit of others, without thought of personal gain for themselves; this is faith.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/1644424...t/hero-saves-teen-who-fell-nyc-subway-tracks/

This story, to me, is an almost perfect example of an act of pure faith.
Also an example of where, I believe, most mainstream Religions, especially Christianity, just plain get-it-wrong. And the fist waving "atheists" just don't get at all.

Just imagine what the world would actually be like if selfishness and greed were to be replaced by pure altruism.
What would this world be like if each and every one of us had the faith required to give up everything-even our lives-for the benefit of a stranger, even if we could never conceivably observe the results of our sacrifice.
That's the lesson of the Cross that's been ignored so long.

Which brings me to the Spirit. That immutable piece of us that connects us to our God... and to each other. Forever.
And the reason why we're here, to learn, dream, share, sacrifice, and uplift... together. Giving of yourself in order to benefit others.
The "body" may "suffer" but the spirit will grow and wizen and soar and gain in infinity more than we as little mortals can conceive of.
We all then, as humans and beings, grow and progress forward.

You are making that happen. Thank you.

Happy to be here mate, keep up the good work.

The counter ofcourse is that religion is actually for the fearful. Not the other way around. Those that are Christian in a Christian society would be Muslim if thEy were raised in a Muslim society.

Not knocking either, but a bit of objective thought rather than blind faith will mean one isn't dictated to by their surroundings.

And dld is doing the opposite here, by coming to his own conclusions.
 
DLD:

You said just to repost if you missed a response to mine. I bought the membership about two years ago and currently still live with my family when I'm home from university. It would be very uncomfortable if I had Penis Enlargement/AB information sent to my home address. Will there be a way to opt out of the disc?

Thanks in advance

We were discussing this recently and we may opt for a section of the new BLOG that would have a subsection where the files could be watched, downloaded or disc imaged. This will bring some order to the structure of the INFORMATION that we are creating. If this is the case I will start up-loading over the next few days.

Stevie Wonder is a very good example in the sense that he is blind and I am going blind. Not so much in the darkness but the light. When my eyes started to go my vision became super-active in a much different way. I know the way I was seeing was giving me much greater knowledge and speed than many others but I was not yet convinced until this time around. Back in 2005, 2008 and any other times I thought of releasing ALPHA+✡BLADE I was simply not ready to talk about what I was seeing and how it was effecting my life so I could not in good conscious release ALPHA+✡BLADE. It broke my heart to let so many down but I could not explain what I was experiencing or an effective way to use it, therefore I stopped the release.

As time progressed and I became more versed in what I was seeing and hearing and how to express it. As I grew in understanding I lost much ability to see any matters of size. The actual size of ALPHA+✡BLADE was no longer dependent on an expected size or membership, it was more centered around a much different philosophy. I only wanted those who craved this knowledge. The ones who came for teachings (and still come) are men and women who have reached a certain point in the heart and are ready to start living through these teachings. The most special ones, who have remained tenacious, are reaping the divine knowledge and the super-abundance of what ALPHA+✡BLADE represents.

I guess you could say MOS is very similar to the structure of the ALPHA+✡BLADE philosophy, people of all denominations helping one another learn ancient, coveted methods of becoming a greater human, more able to experience the sacred joys of life.
 
UPDATE: March 6, 2012

ALPHA+✡BLADE Studios:

Today we did a lot of work. The upstairs bathroom is fully functional and the last coats of paint are being applied. Beautiful shades of green and gold make it so pretty. Every detail of the studios is done with such attention to details of art and function. Dealing with a small space that is meant for a large function continues to be the greatest challenge. We hope to sleep 10 here soon but the final goal is 25.

The crew downstairs is putting up the veneers and wood trim for the ceiling. The main door top the large function room is being crafted by a local artist, the plans are incredible. The lower room will be my quarters in the future so I am very excited to have a bit of privacy, something I have not had in a long time:) I want to be close to the staff and guest quarters but still have my privacy. The lower room will be perfect.

We will be starting demo this week on the main floor which will be very dusty and inconvenient but as soon as this is done we can open. I have been video taping all stages so they will be available on the blog with the MOS free user base. It is amazing too see a one room flat turn into a large home for the first 25 people who become involved. Although this studio is small it will represent the beginning of a infinite project of humanity. The South Beach ALPHA+✡BLADE will be much larger and modern but my heart will always have a place here, in the one room flat I have lived since the beginning!

Peace, Love and Safe Travels!

I would like to hear more about some of the beliefs, but I will wait until you are ready to disclose them, DLD. I mostly lurk this forum but have been following this with interest. I am a large believer in a higher power//supreme being sort of concept, but am hesitant to pledge allegiance to any religion because, as a few members have already suggested, the concept of God is truly a personal experience and is certainly not one size fits all. Good luck to you and I hope that you are successful in all of your endeavors.

I am waiting to complete the first Temple to officially open the gates:) We are about 2 weeks off (about how long I was gone:)) The time is being used very well and everything is back on track. I am so excited to start posting the doctrine but I want it on the heals of the first AB. I also want to let all people know that the belief system has little to do with religion, AB is more about uniting people of all denominations with similar hopes and goals. I think the word religion scares many, AB looks for this status as more of a protection so we can practice as we choose, make sense? Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Christians, Protestant, Buddhist, no religion, whatever...we are about sewing the lines that separate people and unite us to make a difference.

Yes, that makes sense and I didn't mean to imply that you were creating that type of organization. I do not mean to sound prophetic or like a conspiracy theorist, but I can assure you that in the coming months, and particularly this summer, believers in God (among others) are going to need shelter. I have no doubt that your recent legal troubles and exposure to burglary and vandalism is directly related to this. Our freedoms will come under attack very shortly, and the state will not be there to protect us. Defenders of those freedoms will be discredited and publicly disgraced, or else squashed and eliminated. Regards.

God is the only future mankind has in my mind and I live every second in joyful hopes of that moment. God has created me as a defender and one who serves, this is my goal every moment of every day. It would be a grave sin to bury these talents and not use them to their full extent! Along with these strengths have been given a great vision that I, and so many others, diligently work towards. To see these men on the project dedicating every day, with little pay, to a dream is amazing. They work so hard to make everything beautiful, even on a VERY limited budget. I look forward to the day the first head hits the pillow and the first mouth that eats from the shelter of AlphaBlade. We are making a difference in my town and we will make one in Miami, after that I hope in ever city across the world. It really can work if we get enough people on the same page. Well, we are starting small with a few good men but I know our future in promised! Sorry bout misspells and such...iPads suck to type on:)
 
Hey DLD, I have been awaiting AB for the longest and I cannot wait to see it flourish into the beacon of hope that is greatly needed in this world today. While you are perfecting the enviroment for AB when will the 3 new MOS Penis Enlargement devices be ready and can you give any clue what date or time they will be released.
 
Like a Freemasonry-orientated type of group? I'm for that. I'm a member of a cabal but cannot speak about it to outsiders. My input on MOS'es group is that we are or should be open to any/all religions and belief systems. You dont have to be believe in a god to join do you? or is it a prerequisite to have a belief in something of some kind or sort? like Freemasons do, regardless if your Christian, Jew or whatever else.

With that said it isnt going to be a mostly Christian + Judaic movement is it? I have beliefs in Christianity but I'm also open minded to the powers all around me and the entities that co-exist around where we are. In many ways I've become more far left in the past 12 months which in some circles would cast me out of many Christian societies. That takes me neatly onto those who practice Luciferanism, Sephism and Satanism to name just a few of the left handed movements ... are those members allowed to join? I will say now that they are not evil or bad just because of what they practice ... its more open and a learning way of life then many of the right handed repressive paths.

I think with a more open minded wide spectrum of people in this group of ours we will all benefit much more greatly then if its closed off or boxed off into one spectrum.
 
I fully believe in "GOD", most assuredly; but what I believe is most likely not what most people would recognize as the traditional assumption of "GOD".

Although I use the term God, let's be honest whatever we "know" about God will always be limited by...US!
I actually think that Creator is much closer to what we can understand; Edgar Cayce used the term First Purpose and that sure gives me a pretty comprehensive place to start.
Perhaps our role in this Universe is to be Further Purposes, Subsequent, Co-Creators, limited and distanced only by the separations our perceptions place on us.


Given that science now tells us that dark matter/dark energy comprise about 96% of the knowable universe...well...4% of anything ain't much to go on. Me? I'm gonna keep my mind open as I keep lookin'.
 
Interesting Max. That viewpoint of God is about as good as any.

I forget the source now, as I have read too many books on philosophy and religion over the years to place my finger upon original source of any particular idea, but I have always went back to the idea that "God" is simply everything.

We being just an infinitely small part of "God" can only see that tiny fraction. As I remember it being explained, in theory, "we" are just tiny pieces of God "created" in an attempt for "God" to understand itself. Meaning that God is everything and thus has no perspective in which to view itself. So that it was necessary for God to become finite pieces to satisfy its need to understand itself. It needed "perspective" than only comes from isolated viewpoints which is not possible when it is everything.

And science does seem to support much of this type of theory. Being that there is no "separation" of time, space, dimension, energy, or matter at a fundamental level. Just for a couple of examples to the "oneness" of "everything". An experiment was conducted to send a "particle" backwards in time by making it approach the speed of light, or if you prefer, to transmit data at the maximum rate of trasfer. Time and time again, to the astonisHydromaxent of even the scientists attempting to conduct the experiment, said "data" "appeared" before the "acceleration" began. It is hard to grasp, but essentially, the data "appeared" simply because the parameters were set to "send it back in time".

Another experiment that has been done repeatedly is where tissue is removed from a person and shipped to a distant laboratory. And the observations that consistently realized were amazing. By introducing stimuli to the person that suBathmateitted the removed tissue, the tissue that was shipped to the distant laboratory reacted to the stimulus instantly as if it were still with the person. Absolutely amazing stuff out there.

But the math and theoretical physics behind all of this stuff has been around for quite a while now. It is more a matter of how we as tiny pieces are going to use this knowledge of "everything" to our advantage and benefit. We are all Gods trying to learn about ourselves :D

Sorry to break your quote MAX but I read something in prayer today that is very applicable here, "Forgive us our sin's Oh Lord, lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God? Help us Oh Lord, our Saviour: and for the glory of thy name, Oh Lord deliver us!"

I feel sorry for those who hold themselves back from become promised to a Heaven on Earth but if they don't want it there are plenty who do, they line up at my door every day!

I proclaim God in everything I do and say! I only hear the spirit and I live through this. I need nothing more than God and his Blessed Mother! In their name I can do all things, including being a part of the world's greatest men's group, MOS!
 
i believe in the occult (not the satanic) but in the mother earth and the more shamanistic ways. is this accepted? :)

My opinion is very small compared to my understanding of occult beliefs. I personally see God as one more than the trinity. My views as a Jew or a Catholic are totally conflicted and either religion would see my beliefs as blasphemous. AlphaBlade is more a unification of new Jews it the light of Jesus Christ being the King of the Jews. I proclaim myself Jewish not only by blood but through my unending support and belief in the King of the Jews, Jesus. I proclaim myself Catholic by way of my education in parochial school, my training as an alter boy and my further training in Latin and the Catholic Priesthood. The belief system that I have fallen privy to does not stand consistent with either religion and the only way for me to create a doctrine to my beliefs is to put the word up. This will happen when the time is right, it is very near.

My belief in Satan, the Devil, St. Nick, so on is very consistent with that of the Torah with some rational differences. I believe God and Satan are one of the same and manifest themselves in unique ways during unique situations. Our ability to see God or Satan in our daily life takes a lot of self awareness and an open, loving, understanding, non-bias mind. I also believe we call God or Satan through our prayers, actions, thoughts, sins, hood works, or the like. I do not worry when someone sins or harms me, I know their sins will be paid by their own conscious. The evil they deliver becomes the same evil they punish themselves with. I never seek revenge as I know a legion of angels are behind me and are watching my every move who protect and defend me. Satan, when necessary, is also there in times of need in the same way the Blessed Mother or Holy Spirit or even God. It is all part of the One that so many try to divide, it is this division that actually separates us from the truth.
 
Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God as the Bible states as the basis for Christianity?
