Finding God's Plan in Pi

On Pi day March 14th 2018, I was wondering if the Kabbalah Gematria number 155 - the encoded number for God's Plan for Man /Christianity - could be easily found within the digits of Pi.  (This number was derived from my 2013 Holy Week experience I shared in my Sums to Consider post) So, I checked the first 1000 digits and ,lo and behold, there it was at the three hundredth and fourteenth digit.

Why is this significant ?  Well, it is not, if one never considers the ultimate reason for the existence of numbers in the human experience. Including the experience of Faith. Simply put; numbers are the way we humans can determine order and perceive or calculate our very function and existence in life. To find value. Without numbers - individual subjective and object perceived reality falls apart. Human existence is just meaningless randomness.

The understanding of symbolic quantities and measurements led to counting then arithmetical  computations then to mathematics that propelled human development and advancement. The concept Pi brought forth first by the Babylonians then Egyptians and then calculated by Archimedes is certainly critical to that advancement. https://amazingarchimedes.weebly.com/real-life-application-of-pi.html

Steven Strogatz at the end of his March 13, 2015 New Yorker article "Why Pi Matters", gives a superb answer to the question; "In short Pi is woven into the description of the innermost workings of the universe."

On earth we are familiar with the term Circle of Life. We can see it in creation. We fundamentally know at our core that God has a Plan for Life. And specifically human life.  After all we exist on a planet shaped like a sphere. Circled by a Moon shaped like a sphere. In which both these spheres orbit and are illuminated by a star that is nearly a perfect sphere. It only makes sense Pi would be integral to God's Plan for Man.

Pi is a irrational number that apparently goes into infinity, which is the eternal destiny of man. Pi is a number that can be used to find the center of a circle. In it the center of God's Plan for Man can also be found relative to Genesis. That being the foretold defeat of evil and the prophetic rule of God's kingdom on earth.

So the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman , and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike at his heel"                                       
                                                                                                                        Genesis 3:14-15

The Value of Pi
Is it meaningless coincidence that the abbreviated number of Pi 3.14 matches up to the chapter and verse  numbers of Genesis 3:14 ? Furthermore that it corresponds to a encoded number (155) of the letters that spell "God's Plan for Man" and also "Christianity" right at the 314th digit of the extended calculated value of Pi ? And at the 315th digit (5) the scripture stated purpose of God's Plan can be found. Five being the center number of 155. 

Another interesting thing about the simple Gematria encoded numerical value of God's Plan for Man (Christianity) is that it happens to match the Kabbalah Hebrew value for the words "Design" and "Science". Both being 155. Does it look like God is telling us something?  Oh by the way, the 313th digit of Pi is 3 with the following digits being 1 then 5. Sure looks like the way we organize verses from the Bible. As in Genesis Chapter 3 verse 15. And if you include the digit to the left of the decimal: it then counted as the 314th digit as in Genesis 3:14. Looks to me God is really pointing here.

Oh yes, less I forget the first four places of Pi after the 3 is .1415.

If you ever read my very first post click Sums to Consider - you would see another number was given -190- pointing to the place where the fuller understanding God's Plan for Man (Christianity) was to begin. It is revealing I think that - that number can be found beginning at the 246th digit of Pi. And that the number 246 is the Hebrew encoded value of word Genesis. 

A Unorthodox Message to Consider 

On the website for the free e book God's Plan for Man  one will find a unusual description of the Plan that departs from standard Christian theology. 

"A loving plan; God's Plan for Man, reveals that a mere man will crush Satan's head as the book of Genesis describes (Genesis 3:15) "

In my writings I have shared the discovery of a distinct synchronicity of sums of encoded letters from specific words that correspond to the Logos - that sure seems to me to be a good reason for anyone who seeks truth to explore what is written in this revolutionary book.

 However, it always comes down to who the Father draws. In the Circle of Life there is a center point. There the true value of Pi can be found.  And here it is from page 155 of God's Plan for Man; 

"The Divine Phenomenon revealed by the Holy Spirit exposes the master plan, a precise time at the end of the period of "times" , which was henceforth held secret - now made known."

☩ Marks the Heart 

A Treasured Plan

What if the Virgin Mary had a treasure map ? Would She share it with us? I say yes. What do think are the reasons She miraculously appeared at Guadalupe, Mexico and Fatima, Portugal? For sure to bring mankind (us) closer to God.  Or Could it be that God, our Creator, deemed Her to show/ reveal to Christianity something more  than what is believed today?  Could it be the revelation of the truth of God's Plan for Man? So, that Plan would be magnified?

The Virgin Mary was the first to receive the Holy Spirit of God since the fall of Man. God came through Her in the person of Jesus. From the Cross HE, as the Word of God,  entrusted Her to be our Mother. And us to Her as Her children/offspring as represented by John.

Jesus referred to Her in scripture as "woman" twice for a reason.  For She is the woman of Genesis 3:15 and  Revelation 12. In Revelation 12 - metaphorically - She was given the wings of an Eagle to escape into the wilderness. That wilderness (desert) is America. It is in this land that Her Immaculate Heart has Triumph. It is the place from which God's Plan for Man is revealed. As of now only a few acknowledge and feel the full effects of this victory.  However, this Plan is not just exclusive for here, but is for anyone on this earth who chooses to receive and grasp it.

A Heart in the Heartland

May, I suggest you consider the historical stories of Guadalupe and Fatima and then read my first blog 9-15-15 post  Sums to Consider (account of my 2013 Holy Week experience) and then my 10-13-17 post A Unknown Secret of Fatima and 12-13-17 Under a Mantle of Stars post. Then consider this - that from the Cross, the mind of God knew that in time man would create navigational lines (latitude and longitude) to find our way in traveling the world. And because Jesus loves us so, He would give us His Mother as a way or assist upon our pilgrimage to discover His Plan in these times.

In 1531, She appeared to a poor Aztec Indian and left a sign at 99⁰ West. In 1917, She presented a Miraculous sign of the sun at 39⁰ North.  Her call in both instances was one of trust and conversion. Both these navigational lines converge in the heartland of the United States (The Hope of Nations) in a town in Kansas called Hill City at 39.36⁰ N, 99.84⁰ W. Just by coincidence located in that town is   a church that is  dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Is there a message in this coincidence ?

The Rosary is only a beginning

It is a meditative prayer that can both bind and set one free at the same time. It binds one to the virtuous lives of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and sets one free in the contemplation of the plan of salvation lived out by the Holy family's lives. There is much I can say here about  this prayer practice, but I will say this; it is a prayer exercise that tugs you towards God's Plan for Man if you allow it.

For consider this;, if you read my 2013 Holy week account you will understand what I'm going state here. There are 153 "Hail Mary's" recited in total of the Rosary. If you add the two other famous prominent prayers that often accompany the Rosary that implores the Blessed Mother intercession (Salve Regina and the Memorare) that equals 155. The number of God's Plan for Man and Mary Immaculate.

Also consider this discovery is being shared with you by a one time member of the Word of God Church of Philadelphia ( a home church) only because these facts compel me too.

If you are a follower of my blog posts or new to them - does not this information at least warrant an investigation of the e book God's Plan for Man ? The book is proactive and can be even considered controversial. Yet, I hope through my writings I have shown you, at least, a pattern of evidence that will help you trust and encourage you to search for the Truth in it. As the author, Dennis A. Gunn only reminds the reader the words Jesus from Scripture in a revolutionary way.

"And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior" 

                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                     Luke 1: 46-47


It sure looks like through historical events and simple math She has given us the treasure map, so that God's Plan for Man can be found and magnified in our lives. The map leads to Her Immaculate Heart, which is more than a church building or religion, but a spiritual destination and movement in our lives where the Divine Mercy of Jesus victoriously shines for all.

This is all offered to you my friends for your kind consideration. All for the Glory of HIS NAME.

JESUS

Under a Mantle of Stars

East to West

Hill to Hill

This is the time of the year that we turn our eyes to the stars. The earth is covered with a mantle of stars and scripture reminds us of the sign in the sky that herald the birth of Jesus; the Star of Bethlehem. If you have been a reader of my blog, you know that I encourage all to see history of this land and scripture as a prophetic reality of God's Plan for Man relevant for today. And this post is no different for there is another discovery to behold.

In my post of one year ago; God's Plan Unfolds in Time  I shared the story of the Image of the Woman known as Our Lady of Guadalupe. And offer historical evidence that sure makes it clear She is the Woman of Genesis 3:15 and of Revelation 12. But now there is some remarkable astronomical evidence too. For a number of astronomers have studied star charts and have used computer software and have reported that the stars on the Image of Mary's mantle are the ones present over Tepeyac Hill in Mexico just before sunrise on December 12, 1531.

Like my very first post of 2016  Star of Wonder the Virgin and Child are revealed in the Stars. For She identified Herself as "The perfect and perpetual Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God through Whom everything lives, the Lord of all things near and far, the Master of heaven and earth."

But there is something else to consider here: The Image is certainly reflective of Her past of being with the Child Jesus thus causing a mass conversion and a codifying of the Divine Plan in the hearts of Juan Diego's people. However, She had already given physical birth to Her Divine Son - Jesus. So why did She appear pregnant in the Image revealed by the unfolding of Juan Diego cloak in 1531? Could it be that God wanted to do more than affirm the past, but foretell the birth of a another son in the future? A mere human son ? Has that son been born yet ? And where? The clues are there for those who have eyes to see.

In the Aztec Indian tradition Images are oriented to the cardinal directions of a map different than what is commonly practiced today. Above represents the Aztec way of orienting the Image, Her head orients to the  East and Her eyes gazing Northwestward.

"Are you not in the folds of my Mantle? The Crossing of my arms ?"

These are some of the questions She asked Juan Diego on the desert hill just before he went to the bishop with Her message contained in the flowers She arranged in his tilma. Could these questions be asked of us today? Is there a message for a priest today ?

In my October post; A Unknown Secret of Fatima  I followed the latitude line of Fatima, Portugal westward to America. Well in that vein, I decided to follow the longitude line of where the Image is in Mexico City (99.10 W) north to where it bisects with that Fatima latitude line in this country. It connects in a town in Kansas called Hill City at (39.36 N 99.84 W).

 Interesting considering  She appeared on a hill 485 years ago. But if you read that post, you know that God's Plan for Man is about the formation of a new church. So, the question for me was as I searched - would there be a church there that would be telling of the movement of Fatima there in that town? Well, located in Hill City is a church (catholic) dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. WOW!

Once again a gift is given revealing God's Plan for Man to this world. I do not know how, but I do know that church will play a special role in God's Plan for Man as He gathers His children under the Heart of Mary Immaculate. But, people will have move beyond the standard focus on the past catholic theology.

From what I can see it is here in this land that once again She wants a sanctuary of hearts to be erected where She will demonstrate, exhibit, give all Her love, compassion, help and protection to the people. As Merciful Mother. The Merciful Mother of all who live united in this land, and all mankind, and all who love Her. It is here where She will hear our weeping, our sorrow , and will remedy and alleviate all our multiple sufferings, necessities and misfortune.

The question is - do you believe and will you open the gift of God's Plan for Man? For in its pages Christ comes forth and offers the refuge of Mary by revealing the Divine Mercy of Our Heavenly Father to us all.

Have a Blessed and Wonderful Christmas.

God's Plan For Man

A Unknown Secret of Fatima

As the sun travels from the east to the west in the sky, so has the light of the understanding of God's Plan for Man traveled in my consciousness. For the light first rose in me upon my hearing the gospel that began 1,983 years ago in Israel that now shines brightly in the land that I call home.

However, something specifically occurred to the east of where I sit now that beckoned me to seek the deeper meanings of the stories and words of the Bible more than I had ever before. To focus more intently on the lives of Jesus, Mary and Joseph as a daily practice. This was the message and miracle of Fatima, Portugal.

It has been reported in 1916 three shepherd children by the names Lucia, Jancinta and Francisco were visited by an angel who referred to himself to be " the Angel of Peace" and later the guardian angel of Portugal. His message for the three Catholic children was to adore God and that a "Merciful design" was going to unfold through them. That they should offer reparation for all those sins which offend God and as a petition for the conversion of sinners and who do not believe. And lastly, to beg for conversion of sinners through "the infinite merits of Jesus' Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary" by receiving the Holy Communion worthily.

In May of 1917 a woman appeared to the children and asked them to meet Her there on the 13th of each month for 6 consecutive months. You can check out Her words at
http://www.theotokos.org.uk/pages/approved/words/wordfati.html

However, it seems to me She offered primarily a three fold message; first to pray, specifically the Rosary. Second that this is way to peace and conversion. And third, as for Lucy, Her Immaculate Heart will be our refuge. Her appearances culminated in October, 1917 with a miracle of the sun and by Her identifying Herself as Our Lady of the Rosary.

Reported over 70,000 saw Miracle of the Sun

Now, the story of Fatima is predominately held up as a "Catholic" thing that many other sects of Christianity would dispute or ignore. However as a former Roman Catholic, I would have to say that if people could suspend what ever prejudice they might have concerning this event, perhaps more will be able see it pointing to God's Plan for Man.

A Chain that can Set you Free

The story of the vision is a certainly captivating one and has encouraged millions of people to pray the Rosary.  For me praying the Rosary was the very beginning of my conversion into the spiritual reality of the Kingdom of God.

The prayer is meant to be a meditative one that focuses on the salvation story as revealed in the lives of the Holy Family and to contemplate the virtues they exhibited during different parts of their lives. The "Our Fathers", "Hail Mary's" and "Glory Be's" are meant to be mantra points to help one focus on a particular virtuous aspect of the lives of Jesus, Mary and Joseph (called mysteries) by using the beads as a way to keep track of time one  meditates on each "Mystery" by feel.

The funny thing is that after years of meditating on the mysteries they became less and less mysterious, but just a way to live. Now, one sincerely prayed Our Father and one Hail Mary fill my day.

In praying the Rosary, I became a less confused and anxious person. Plus, slowly but surely, a great peace settled into my heart, as well as a great gratitude for the Mercy Jesus has shown me by letting me feel His love during Holy Communion. And that experience of HIS presence gave me the courage to "go forth" as I have.

It was while holding the chain of the Rosary in Cenacle prayer groups (inspired by the writings of Rev Don Stefano Gobbi) that the words of scripture became real and present for me. Setting me spiritually free from religious theology. A theology that is primarily based on past interpretations of Scripture. Never really seemingly to acknowledge the Truth of the words as a present day spiritual reality.

The miracle of the sun at Fatima must have been quiet a sight. In thinking about that phenomenon, reviewing my own experiences and listening to counsel I have come to realize that the spinning of the sun was/is a heavenly prompting for us to delve deeper into understanding God's Plan for Man here on earth. I believed that Fatima was a navigational coordinate that would point towards and confirm what was being presented by the author of God's Plan for Man as true.

In the book the author draws a distinct line between the meaning of the Son of God and the Son of Man. And in doing so he draws a literary picture of what is the foundation truth God wants His Church to be built upon. What is asserted is contrary to over a millennia of standard Jewish-Christian belief. So, I decided to test it. By using Fatima literally as a navigational starting point.

If you have read or recall my January 2016 post Star of Wonder , I shared that the author, Dennis A. Gunn was born in Cincinnati, OH aka "the Queen City" on Christmas day 1941.  Well, one day while in a library I had in my mind the lyrics to the Christmas song Star of Wonder; that lyrics went "western leading still proceeding guide us with thy perfect light."  So, I decided to see how Fatima, Portugal lined up geographically with Cincinnati, OH.  Fatima is located at 39.61 degrees North latitude. If you travel due west 3,919 miles along that line you will virtually run into Cincinnati OH at 39.10 degrees North by moving only approximately 8 miles south. Virtually a straight line!

But there is more. 

Church of Light

I mentioned the writings of Rev. Don Stefano Gobbi as an inspiration to the formation of Cenacle Prayer groups as part of a movement called the Marian Movement of Priests. As described in the books To The Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons. It began while he was on a pilgrimage to Fatima and while he was praying at the little chapel of the apparitions for some priests who had given up their own vocations, but were even trying to set up an association against the Catholic Church authority. 

"He felt a force that urged him to have confidence in the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady, making use of him as a poor and humble instrument, would gather all those priests who would accept Her invitation to consecrate themselves to He Immaculate Heart, to be strongly united to the Pope and to the Church united with him, and bring the faithful into the secure refuge of Her motherly heart." 

His writings consist of  "interior locutions" which is defined in the book as "very clear words perceived by the person who receives them as though they were born from the heart and which, taken together form a message".  

So, what does this do with the Church of Light? Well, during his 24 year mission Rev. Gobbi was given 604 messages that served as luminous guide for the Church to be in spiritual union with Her, but most importantly to come into Communion with Jesus. The cenacles served as that vehicle. And it is the spiritual formation point where a new Church began. One that was not in rebellion to the old, but in union to the spiritual truth held within as based on the Word of God in scripture.

For in May 1996 a Church was formed called the Word of God Church of Philadelphia from the bold inspiration of the message the angel gave to the ancient church of Philadelphia in the book of Revelations. 

  “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

And to me this Church also confirms a message #429 that was given to Rev Gobbi given August 1990 entitled "The Way of Light"

"It is the way of light. It is the way I have traced out for you during these years, to lead you all to the church of light. Jesus is forming this church of His, by means of the powerful action of the Holy Spirit and in the garden of the Immaculate Heart of your heavenly Mother. It is the new Church of light, which has a splendor greater than a thousand suns put together."  

Okay, Yeah.  This might strike you as a stretch to ascribe this message from a Roman Catholic priest to any church one belongs too. Especially, if it is not Roman Catholic Church.  And perhaps very presumptuous to equate this New Church as the Church of Philadelphia described in the book of Revelations. But do you remember I said - there is more. Lets return to the map.

If you start from Fatima and follow the 39th degree latitude line west you will come to Cincinnati, but along the way you will run through Philadelphia, Pa at 39.95 degrees North. Also, The Word of God, Church of Philadelphia first service occurred; October, 1996 in Wilmington, Delaware at 39.73 degrees North.  Just dumb coincidences, right? Well, consider this- if you travel due east along the same latitude line from Fatima you will come approximately 20 miles north of the ancient city of Philadelphia that is now Alasehir, Turkey at 38.35 degrees North.

So, it seems at least to me that the movement of the Holy Spirit concerning this Church of Light really began in ancient Greece. And like a laser beam moved through history in a geographic straight line west to be realized in this land.

The unknown secret of Fatima is that it reveals the Church of God's Plan For Man. A Church that would begin in the Immaculate Heart of Mary as deemed by God.  Leading Her Sons to the Heart of Jesus.

Personally, I see the what the Mother of Jesus has traced out for me. How about you? Is it not worth exploring? Miracles big and small do happen. And remember the first miracle for the sake of conversion occurred by the waiters listening to the words of Jesus' Mother at the wedding at Cana.

"Do whatever HE tells you."

John 2:5

Two Crosses

One Truth

 The point of God's Plan for Man is for us to find the truth. To view and apply Scripture and especially Jesus' words in a present day perspective. If we do so, His Divine Mercy is revealed. His words from the Cross are the delineation point where humanity can cross over to the Kingdom of God if we choose too.

What I share in these writings comes only from what I have first heard and learned from the author of God's Plan for Man and then testing and experiencing them for myself. Experiencing the words are the reason I write here in hopes to be of service, so others might experience the love that comes through God's Christ. Once again they are offered for your consideration.

God's Plan for Man was written so that we may read it from the perspective of one who hung on a cross next to Jesus. The one on His right side. One who comes to see his true self in the light of Jesus on the cross. Then asking for to be forgiven and then repentance (conversion). Then as Jesus promised we can be with Him in Paradise. This occurred physically for a thief as an actual historic event and once again now for one as a spiritual and physical event.

Seems to me, like thieves we take so many things we believe and do in our lives for granted not giving much more thought to them. Including the words of our religions, politics and philosophies. Never really conscious of our thoughts and actions in the light of Love. A Light that imagines Jesus lovingly turning to look at us from the Cross. However, when we do become conscious we realize that we know not what we do!  It is at that point, Our Father's Kingdom comes to life within us.

Most all assume the story of the repentant thief is a story about salvation. It offers us the hope that after we die we can like the repentant thief get the chance to go to heaven and that is often as far as it goes. This is true, however there is so much more meaning to the sacrifice Jesus offered nearly 2,000 years ago. He suffered and died so the Father's Kingdom could become a reality here on earth. That Kingdom begins with knowing His Name. However, the full Truth of Jesus' sacrifice can only be seen from the second cross that is on His right side.

As Jesus was being crucified He spoke these words  "It is finished!" The world, even to this day, overwhelmingly view these words as coming from a broken man who was dying, giving up knowing his time was at hand. However, remember, all you who profess to be good Christians, those words recorded for all posterity were not uttered by any mere man. But by God Himself who humanity knows as the Son of God. His mission was to atone for our sins and bring us back to Himself. In God's Plan for Man the author ardently reminds us - Jesus completed that mission. Once and for all, He defeated the Evil Force that motivates and constructs the Vice system of lies, death and suffering that put Him on the Cross in the first place. Or I should say "IT" constructed the Cross upon which Jesus laid Himself down upon for our sake. Evil was/is defeated and most importantly the lie of evil can now be seen by the Light of the Cross, so we may be protected and defeat evil ourselves for His sake. Beginning with our thoughts. This is the testing point and the victory message of God's Plan for Man. He did this so man could follow.

This is what I have gleaned from reading God's Plan for Man and listening to the author

 Dennis A. Gunn.

Two things occurred from Jesus' death and Resurrection; Salvation and Deliverance. One is eternal the other physical. For almost 2,000 years repentant believers have been comforted in knowing that their souls can enter heaven by the merciful forgiveness Jesus gave from the Cross. For as He said " I did not come to judge the world but to save the world" John 12:47. That is eternal salvation. Yet, the other part of the victory has not yet been fully realized. That is deliverance from evil which is spiritual and physical. Giving mankind a resurrected conscience that will usher in the Kingdom of God here on earth.

How does that deliverance occur? When we come to recognize, internalize and trust the the Power of Jesus' words and sacrifice from the Cross. Thus we will begin to change the way we think/act as the repentant thief did. Then our sufferings will lessen as we come into the healing peace of His will. Because given time we will able to DISCERN more precisely between good and evil and act accordingly. Separating ourselves from that which harms us. This does not occur in some kind of magical way, but through faith and then rational thought and reason. Which combined is wisdom.

 In God's Plan for Man the gift of the Cross becomes the reasoning tool in which we can use as our guide. A guide in which we can see the words of the Bible from their original meaning applied in a present day reality.

 As Dennis A. Gunn  has expressed by putting our thoughts at the Cross we can discern our thoughts. Separating the good from evil. Good on right, bad on left. Thus staying true and being delivered (protected) from evil/lie.  He has explained we do not originate thoughts, but process them. And the thoughts we process come form only one of two places. GOD or evil. Sounds so simple, but it is challenging. However, in time with the Grace of God a true delineation will occur.  This is the Gift of the Second Cross.

           

                                                                                                                                                                    It is in the wisdom of God, that if we look at the Cross from the light of the second cross, then the Sign of the Son of Man as described in Mathew 24:30 will be revealed. Then Christ will be known throughout the world and the invocation "In Jesus Name " will be fully understood.

Crosses of                            Southern Cross
a Reflective
Universe

Einstein Cross

In astronomy there is a commonly known constellation called the Southern Cross. It is regularly seen in the southern hemisphere but only periodically in the southern portion of the Northern Hemisphere. Never the less it is well known in Navigation.  A second astronomical cross less well known is Einstein's Cross. It is a cross that was seen from a radio telescope that was focused on a distant quasar. The light form the quasar bends as it travels through a galaxy in front of it forming a four point cross with a center point as it's heart. Certainly reflective of the wounds of Jesus.

This phenomena is known as gravitational lensing, which is one of the predictions of Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity which states a distribution of mass is capable of bending light as it travels from it's source towards the observer. Thus, the observer sees new information plus the original light source. So with this discovery could it be that God wants us to explore more deeply the true meaning of the Cross as a today reality?

Here is something to consider. We now know that in this age there is a second cross known in physics and astronomy; Einstein's Cross. Also, as a reader of my first post we now know that Dennis A. Gunn in the book God's Plan for Man explores the meaning E=MC2.  He postulates about Christ-man relativity to Eternity. God's Plan for Man pg 306-310

Also, the name/word "Einstein" numerical encoded value happens to be 95. Matching anyone of the points of the Name of God Star diagram from my previous post A Gift By Name ".

Are these once again just meaningless coincidences?

"And He said to them all, If any man come after me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23."

In this reflective created universe I have seen the cross, Jesus spoke of. One man knows it better than any.  It it is not heavy, but Light.

Christianity is now offered that Cross in God's Plan For Man.

Will you take it up?

Star of Wonder

Over the Christmas holiday I watched a DVD presentation about the Star of Bethlehem. Rick Larson, it's narrator has made a breathtaking historical and astronomical discovery that "Unlocks the Mystery of the World's Most Famous Star." I highly recommend you check it out at http://www.bethlehemstar.com/

In it he pinpoints the birth of Jesus,which is the pivot point of world history. His work really represents a continuation of the work of Dionysius Extiguus--Dennis the Humble. Who was the sixth century abbot and mathematician who gave us today's calendar and the division of history from B.C. to A.D.

In 525 A.D. he was asked by Pope John I to calculate dates on which all future Easters would be celebrated. He had to dutifully studied the position of the Sun and Moon to complete the task. However, the calendar then either started with the founding of Rome (1285) or a calendar that started with the first year (525) of the reign of the terrible persecutor of Christians; Emperor Diocletian.

It is that fact [about Diocletian] that gave Dennis the great inspiration...[He] calculated his dates on the birth date of [Jesus] Christ. As he put it, he "preferred to count and denote the years from the incarnation Our Lord, in order to make the foundation of our hope better known..." They appeared on his new Easter charts, which began with anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi DCXXXII -- the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 532, or A.D. 532 for short.

                                        David Edwin Duncan

                                       Smithsonian, February, 1999; Calendar

Although it was not mentioned in the article it almost for certain that Dionysius Extiguus needed to have some kind of familiarity with the positions of stars and planets, as well as, the Sun and Moon in order to ascertain the time of the Star that marked the birth of Jesus.

Rick Larson begins his quest by pinpointing the Star of Bethlehem by showing how knowing the stars were important to the ancient Hebrews (Semitic) people by quoting what scholars consider to be one of the oldest text in the Bible;

The Book of Job. Such as Job 9:9:

" He is the Maker of the Bear [Ursa Major] and Orion, the Plieades and the constellations of the south."  And Job 38:31-32 {God says} " Can you bind the beautiful Plieades? Can you loose the cords of Orion? Can you bring forth the constellations in their season.."

From there with deductive reasoning and extensive research aided by astronomical computer software he shows what was (the Star) that marked the birth of Jesus. It is a dynamic presentation that will have you marvel at the handy work of God in the sky. Bolstering your faith.

Now, with out giving to much away he offers September 3 B.C. as the possible time of Jesus's birth. The evidence he sites makes a strong case for this to be so. This is a breakthrough discovery that demonstrates the precision of God's design. Yet, does it end there?

Now, if you have been following my posts you might of surmised that I share what I have discovered and experienced specifically for your consideration. And this post is no different. For in watching the DVD this year I had several (what I will call) spiritual promptings on December 26th that compelled me to do some more research about star and planetary alignments. And thus, I will share here some of what I have discovered.

The movement of the planets have not stopped and the constellations have  not changed since the birth of Jesus. After all they do serve as astronomical navigation points as well as temporal markers that denote the seasons etc. or even "the Signs of the Times." What could be considered as an example of such a sign would be what astronomers call a Great Conjunction or a Triple Conjunction.

A Great Conjunction is when Jupiter and Saturn occupy the same region of space as viewed from earth not once but three times over several months. It has been speculated by astronomers that this occurred in 7 B.C. with Jupiter over Saturn over by 1 degree appearing as a single bright star like one described in Scripture. Or perhaps it was the first sign that caught the Magi's eyes. But maybe the significance of such a conjunction does not only speak to a 2000 year past event but also to a more recent one.

A Great (Triple) Conjunction has occurred twice during the twentieth century. However, the one that occurred between August 1940 and February 1941 does have significant connection with God's Plan for Man as the world plunged into world war. If  one notices and considers some of the  astrological symbolism and historical facts.

AUGUST 15, 1940 JUPITER 1.15 degrees North of SATURN

OCTOBER 11, 1940  JUPITER 1.17 degrees North of SATURN 

FEBRUARY 15, 1941 JUPITER 1.21 degrees North of SATURN

                                                                                                                                                
 As you can see the conjunctions of Jupiter was a little more than a degree North over Saturn. Jupiter is considered the kingly planet named after the Roman god Zeus. Saturn was named from the Greek  god; Kronos (father time) most likely because it had the longest viewed orbit (30 years) observed in ancient times. It was also the focal point for the ancient Semitic/Hebrew people known to them as EL.

In reading scriptures one can see a succession of man's attempt to comprehend God through three civilizations; Hebrew, Greek and Roman as well as showing the path the Gospel took as it was carried by the Apostles to hearts throughout the world.

From my research, Saturn represents mankind's old beginning attempts to understand the revelation of God as manifest through mythology and various religions,including Christianity, even to this present day. Jupiter over Saturn represents a new view of Christianity as revealed in God's Plan for Man (GPM).

This Great Conjunction took place in the constellation Taurus--the Bull, Ox and/or Calf. Which represents according to thousand year old Christian iconography and tradition the symbol for the Evangelist Gospel of Luke that is associated with the "Four Living  Creatures" that originated from the Book of Ezekiel (Chapter 1) and then again in Revelation 4:7-8.

In Christian tradition Taurus symbolizes;  redemptive sacrifice, service and strength, as well as, Christ as High Priest and Mary's obedience.

The constellation also can be associated with St. Paul of Tarsus because not only did he come from a city that guarded a pass (Cilician Gates) that went  through the Taurus mountains in present day Turkey, but he went though those mountains twice on his missionary travels to strengthen the existing christian churches. And it should be noted that what he preached more than anything was that the kingdom of God had come because of what Jesus accomplished. It should also be noted that Paul's preferred title for Jesus was "Christ". In GPM the author exhorts the same thing only with a distinction. May I suggest you read page 172 and page 270.

GOD'S PLAN FOR MAN

 http://www.theword2.org/

In July of 1941, Jupiter on it's way to rendezvous with Saturn, passed "Rigel" which is a double star that derives it's name form 10th century Arabic; meaning "Foot of the Great One". This name certainly refers to the Orion constellation, but could it not be a description of God?

In 1941 there were two solar and lunar eclipses. And on December 25, 1941 Jupiter was in the constellation Gemini which is the sign of the twin signifying  double, similar and duality as in nature or purpose.

The author of who wrote GPM ,which is a revolutionary book about Jesus, was born on Christmas day 1941 in Cincinnati, OH a town known as "the Queen City" that was originally founded on Christmas day 1788.

By the way Christmas comes from the Latin word which means "Christ comes forth". Also the author's middle name happens to be Arthur as in King Arthur.

Although the concentration of symbolism is not as incredible as 2000 years ago nevertheless they are notable and connective. So, are these more recent signs in the stars something special worth following?  Is it possible that these signs and coincidences predicted a New Understanding of Christianity for today? Indicating the time of a new Kingly message of the Holy Spirit for us to heed. How do you know whether they are Providential or not? What evidence would you accept?

 Well, that all depends how the stars shine in your eyes.

Please Test and Trust. Take all to Jesus. We are living in extraordinary Times.

BLESSINGS REMEMBERED
A Mother points to the Way

Before reading this post I would like the reader to know that I am open to all religious traditions as far as any Spiritual Truth can be found within them. Furthermore, I would like to let it be known that I have stepped forth peacefully from the Catholic Church without bitterness some 20+ years ago. The following is just part of  an account of my spiritual journey.

This post is dedicated with gratitude to my Mom. For she is the one who planted the first seed of Faith in my life when I was around 7 or 8 years old. She told me the story about her mom being miraculously healed as a answer to her prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is with that story that I began to believe in the real Love of the Virgin Mary for us. Since then I have always turned to Her during times I really need help and guidance. She has never failed me and now that seed my mom had sown has grown into a strong tree of Faith, I went from just believing to knowing to the extent that I do.

So, why am I sharing this with the world?  Because upon reviewing  my walk in Faith I have come to recognize a pattern. A pattern that points in one direction to the revelation God's Plan for Man. And by sharing I hope it will encourage others to review deeper their walk in life. To see how God has moved in their lives and that we can seek a deeper collective understanding of True Christianity.

Although I am no longer follow Roman Catholicism I grew up in that church. Believing in the Virgin Mary's intercession was of course a prominent tenure of the Church's teaching.  I went to all the Catechism classes at Our Lady of Grace Church. Of course the 1917 Visions of the three sheperd children in Fatima, Portugal  were often talked about. It is around that point I began to have the belief that the Blessed Virgin could and would actually appear and communicate with people.

Well, life went on and I never really thought about what the visions of the Blessed Virgin meant. Then in late my twenties I met some people who talked about the Virgin Mary appearing in Medjugorje Yugoslavia. I believed it to be true, but more importantly I decided to follow the messages that were being conveyed from there. That's when the Spirit of God really began to move in my life and my conversion began.

Among other messages, praying the Rosary was encouraged. It was something I never did before, but once I began my inner life began to change. A deeper sense of purpose, hope and peace began to well up in me. I did not just say the prayers over and over again, but meditated upon the meaning of each of Jesus, Mary and Joseph's actions that accompanied each section of the Rosary as described in Scripture. I tried to understand and live the virtues conveyed by each sections of the Rosary. While I no longer pray the Rosary, I try to live the mysteries there contained within.

 I began to travel in religious circles and from there I was introduced to the message of Divine Mercy that came from a Sister Faustina's diary. She was a Polish Nun who lived in the early 20th century that reported having a vision of Jesus. Much could be said about Divine Mercy, but trying to understand the most simple prayer recorded in the Diary, 'Jesus, I trust in you' as a spiritual reality in my daily life became my preoccupation. For me the prayer served as a reminder to love God with all my mind, heart and strength, and to love my neighbor as I do myself. Not only that, but I was also reminded He wants to communicate with us even here on earth. And then Trust what you received. That might sound weird to many people, even Catholics, but after all, what is Holy Communion supposed to be all about?  Should we not expect Him to communicate with us in some way?

It was 1991 and my fiance (now wife) and I had heard of special, seemingly miraculous signs occurring at two different churches outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So we went to see what they were all about. A few remarkable things did occur during our visit.

The first was that my Mom and Dad surprised us by showing up at the hotel we were staying at. I did tell my Mom where we were going be, not ever really thinking she would come to see us. But my Mom and Dad decided to meet us there without telling us. That might not sound unusual, but my Mom often suffered from debilitating depression, so seeing her smiling face when we walked into the hotel lobby was a great and wonderful surprise.

The first church we visited was Holy Trinity Catholic Community Church in Ambridge, Pa.
It was reported that the crucifix there depicting Jesus' with His eyes open would at times have it's eyes close.

We stopped to prayed there but what was more significant to me was the Divine Mercy picture of Jesus right over the tabernacle. We did take some pictures and most all of our pictures turned out normal except for a few. At the time the crucifix was draped in a red cloth and in one of the pictures only the stain glass window depicting Jesus Risen was visible. From the angle the picture was taken one should not been able to see it unobstructed. Plus, everything else was blacked out around it. (To the best of my recollection I was and am fairly certain I did not go up to the alter to take this picture.) With later Council we realized that it was a indication that Jesus wants us to focus on His Resurrection. What do you think? That church was closed in 1994.

Sunday, the next day, we visited The Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Donora, Pa. It had a huge Mosaic of marble chips created by German artist Rudolph Rohn in 1975 depicting the last vision of Lucia dos Santos of Fatima, Portugal. There too were reports of special signs given there by the Blessed Mother.

It was the Feast of Pentecost when we arrived and we were very late for Mass. To enter the church we had to open two very heavy doors and then go up a flight of covered stairs to the vestibule. We decided to wait there until Mass was over. No other people were there with us. While we were waiting a very strong wind blew open the shut doors and went right up the stairs into the vestibule. That was something. Well, after Mass was over we went inside to pray. All I can say is that Peace I felt there was so deep that I would describe it as almost like being submerged in water without being wet. The mosaic was beautiful. That experience is something I have contemplated over the years. The Church has since then also been closed.

Perhaps, these experiences are just for me. Yet, if you read my September 13th post, hopefully, you can see the pattern. Divine Mercy wants to lead us to a understanding. The Blessed Mother is the one who wants us contemplate the Holy Trinity. Because if we do we will see the One God and His Singular plan of Salvation. It is worth thinking about.  The mosaic is made up of thousands of pieces showing a picture that tells a story. God wants us to be part of His mosaic. To put together all our collective experiences as pieces to a mosaic that reveals His Plan for us and all Mankind.

The book; God's Plan For Man, Who is the Messiah-Christ? can help us see the picture beyond standard theology. The author, Dennis A Gunn, has described the Plan not as a religious one but as a Spiritual Journey of Experience. It is worth checking out.

  For it is the Dedicated work of the Son of Man.

My Mom is a part of that Mosaic for she gave me my first piece. How about you? Do you see the big picture? Who gave you your first piece?  Mary Immaculate will guide you if you trust. And as I was reminded by the author, so I will remind; if you do trust. Then remember Her last recorded words from the Wedding Feast of Cana in Scripture.

 "Do whatever He tells you" John 2:5

Then Trust Him
