Adam Essene´s Blog

There is a new website at http://rainbowchurch.ning.com which is designed for use as an Open University of the Light, or School of Divinity. There is a group chat facility there and I wish to invite all of my students to come and meet me there and work on the solution for an endangered humanity.

This is my last Blog Post here - see you on NING.

Annunciation of the Virgin

This is one of the most important days on the Mystical Initiation Calendar - The day when the BLESSED VIRGIN is ANNOUNCED by the Divine Angelic Realm. Around this time, normally in the wee hours of the morning (4 am to be precise), the divine lady just become has a profound mystical experience where and when she becomes flushed with the knowledge that she is now the DIVINE MOTHER of GOD, and jointly the BRIDE OF CHRIST, (the Bride of the Mesiah, or Maha Sambhuti - Greater Creation). She is now ready to take her position standing side by side with her Divine Partner, who is Himself God The Father, being able to say, through his own Mystical Experience "I And The Father are One", as the Holy Mother, Bridey, can now say "I And The Mother are One".

This Mystical Experience is only just the stART OF A LONG AND ARDUOUS JOURNEY TOWARDS THE NEXT STAGE OF EVOLUTION - The DIVINE COUPLE. There are many wonderfull experiences in store for the Blessed Virgin as she discovers her new powers of DIVINE LOVE in harmony with her Divine Other Half. She has become NUT on the Egyption and now seeks GEB. Or Pavratti now seeks Shiva.

There are new laws of Divine Nature she must now master to be placed in permanent partnership with her divine other half. these Laws are only just being made known to Humanity through a New Dispensation of the Light, by the Order of Melchizedek and these laws will be released eventually

on this website in a book called "couple notes" - notes made during the initiation of Adam and Elisabeth Essene as a Divine Couple - watch out for that coming in Divine Time, whenever that is.

Congratulations to those Ladies who made it this year - your tests and temptations were many but you stayed on the Great Way in the Flow. Your time is now come and you can now say "I AM BRIDEY FROM WHOSE AUTHORITY ALL SOVEREIGNTY FLOWS LIKE WATER FROM HEAVEN"

Your partner is automatically given the AUTHORITY AND LEADERSHIP that your being and your assosiation with with Him establishes - THIS IS DIVINE ORDER in the universe. Let no single person or a person married to a WHORE say they have ANY AUTHORITY to LEAD THE PEOPLE - They have not been given BRIDEY as their partner, so they hold no office at all BY THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.

There are only BRIDES or WHORES, LADIES or WOMEN - use this diagram to determine which is which:

If you didn't make it this year, study the next diagram about nature and fallen nature. It is necessary to come under nature and be ON THE GREAT WAY. Otherwise you are condemned to live in fallen nature and be a WHORE married to a SLAVER, or be a SLAVE married to a WHORE - either way you will know it - if your sexuality is brief and shamefull with early ejaculation. This is Gods plan to insure you follow the higher path, which results in a loving experience, Divine Sexuality, twice a day for a number

sees fit - it is not your choice to choose - you must go with the flow at all times, especially in the act of Divine Union, which can never be with any kind of "protection" - God would ask "protection from what?"

This diagram from the book off Adam illustrates the how the fallen state operates, with the first division of the world into me and everything else (to create a THERAPY OBJECT, sometIMes called a PAIN BODY, or DEMON). The aim IS that nature will teach the terapy object that unconditional love is necessary for human existance on this planet. all who fail to learn th is are forever consigned to FALLE NATURE (Babylon) to learn their lessons there with the others, until such time as they understand THIS LAW and obey DIVINE NATURE as it is presented to them, firstly from their UNFALLEN THERAPY WORKERS OF THE LIGHT, and then from their INNER TEACHER as they learn to connect DIRECTLY with GOD THE FATHER - the DIVINE LIGHT WITHIN, therefore coming into harmony with GOD THE MOTHER, Divine Nature Without.

Meets with Christina Abbess of Glastonbury and visits Glastonbury Abbey to begin a major photographic docement of the Abbey and its People - this includes all the good people of Glastonbury with proper calling, or "Berufung" - a new English word for that which we are called by God to do. This is not just "work" - it is our life and dedication of our service to others and the world.

glastonbury sets a great example of this for the rest of the world to follow, and now many are called to higher levels of service and those people sitting on the fence and not fully devoted to God in Glastonbury will be driven from the groups of the Children of Light, banished and excommunicated until they can learn to do their work without power - without telling others what to do - and everyone allowing everyone else to be who they are meant to be and to DO THEIR BERUFUNG! - those ones causing the trouble and blocking the way

as the GOOD now exercises its divine right to lead the Children of Light into the Righteousness of Gods New Kingdom of Heaven.

Wishing you all a Good Lent period of fasting and ascension, leading to the next major point on the Abbey calendar - the Annunciation of Our Lady, Bridey, who in this time is called ELIZABETH - after Mary comes Elizabeth - there is a MYSTERY here ...

God bless

Altar of Rainbow Church Jena -…

As Abbot of Glastonbury, one of my jobs is to keep the major festivals of the Abbey. Coming up in a few days time is The Purification of the Virgin - the 33rd Day of the Year, with, in leap years 333 days remaining. A very special day indeed. It is the day that the Lady is presented to the Temple as pure, and is also the day Jesus was presented to the Temple, as it was on this day that he first appeared and taught the people.

The ladies will feel this as a special time of healing, with many tests of character, as only the best will be received by God into the Temple.

There is also a special connection with the Gentiles - Cornelius was the first Gentile accepted into the Church and this is also his day - 2nd of February.

This week saw us finishing the Rainbow Church of God in Jena and consecrating and santifying it in the name of the Holy Order of Melchizedek. The final ceremony involved adding Pythagoras to the Temple, a music section, and the Labyrinth at Chartres above the Rainbow Church sign at the highest point on the main altar.

We are in the process of making a framed photograph of an old drawing of Glastonbury Abbey before it was destroyed by fire in the 13th Century. This will be hung and specials candles lit on the 2nd February as part of the purification of the Temple and altars.

First we must save ourselves - only then can we save the world - these words inspired the page in our Church Visitors Book. How the World is saved can never be known in advance - it can only be experienced in the Now as we place ouselves completely in the service of the divine.

The photo is from our Rainbow Church Visitors Book - we write in this every day and many good teachings come through this way. This one shows the relationship between nature, which produces the Garden of Eden, and Fallen Nature, which produces Babylon. All is under the control of God, or Higher Nature.

I hope you will study this digram as you work on saving yourself, for it contains much important information. It is not easy to take instruction from another, but we must open ourselves up to where God is bringing us to ...

We must first save ourselves before our Saving of the World can be experienced. This is completely up to us - we may NEVER save ourselves - we can only do this if we make it our sole business in this world and concentrate on it to the exclusion of everything else - we cannot be saved except now - it cannot be done in time and any waiting is a mis-take - a mis-understanding, yet that moment of saving becomes closer as we work towardes looking nature and reality squarely in the face.

This is a New Video Message for the New Year - these are words of inspiration and transformation - watch the other videos also, on my blog on ipernity - if you search for teaching and adam you will find them. Or look in my Teachings on Video Album. You will also find many interesting things in The Book of Adam which I am in the process of organising and updating at the moment.

And one day we may save this world together - many of us - for it is sorely in need of mighty wariors of the light who are themselves saved and able to teach others.

Love and Light

Download images containing the text of this complete small and extremely rare book. The book covers the terrible tragedy about what happened to Glastonbury Abbey and the Monks and Abbots after the bad Bishop Savaric took over after Richard the Lionheart was captured by the Germans and held to ransom during the crusades.

This is a very important and little known or understood period in history when the good Catholic Church was destroyed and perverted by the secular authorities, under the control of the Holy Roman German Reich.

Bishop S.avaric, the cousin of Henry VI, Holy Romanisch Emeror of the German Reich eas installed as complete authority over the Church in England. He was a very Secular and a Very Bad Man.

Many people do not understand that the secular empire was completely separate from the Pope and the Church, yet at this time they took over and destroyed the true Holy Catholic Church. They even installed their own anti-popes - this makes the understanding of history very difficult - we must look to the good and the bad within both the Church and the Secular Powers (Kings).

St Thomas Becket Day - 29 12 1…

Today we commemorate the Saint and Martyr Thomas Becket, who defended the Good Catholic Church against the takeover by the bad secular authorities, represented by the new King Henry II - the first of a bad line of Kings called the "Plantagenet". These Kings took over by force after the Norman line started by William the Conqueror in 1066, and ended by King Steven of Blois in 1154, after what is called "The Anarchy". During the time of King Stephen, his brother, Abbot Henry of Blois was Abbot of Glastonbury and also Abbot of Winchester, and all of the rebuilding of Glastonbury Abbey was done under the personal direction of Abbot Henry, who's family estate also comprised Chartres in France as well as a further 350 castles and many fine properties which came from his father Stephen Count of Blois who died in 1102.

Henry was educated at Cluny and adhered to the principles of Cluniac reform, which included a sense of intellectual freedom and humanism, as well as a high standard of devotion and discipline. Henry was brought to England by King Henry I, to be Abbot of Glastonbury. On 4 October 1129, he was given the bishopric of Winchester and allowed to keep his beloved Glastonbury Abbey. He was consecrated bishop on 17 November 1129. He was made Papal Legate - on 1 March 1139, during the reign of his brother Stephen, which gave him higher rank than Theobald of Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, making him the most powerful figure in the English Church during the troubled times of the so-called "Anarchy". Thus, when his brother was unavailable, Henry Blois was the most powerful and possibly the wealthiest, man in England.

In 1141, during the period called "The Anarchy", Matilda, who was previously the "Queen of the Romans" after her marriage to, and death of, Emperor Henry V of the Holy Roman German Reich, and later married Geoffrey of Anjou, first of the Plantagenets, Matilda was an heir to the throne of England, took over by force the Kingdom of England, though she was uncrowned yet ruled for less than a year. Henry of Blois helped his Brother King Stephen regain the throne by his successful defense of Winchester. It was at this time that Thomas Becket was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury - the most senior position in the Church in England - though Abbot Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester, being Papal Legat, was higher than him. The Papal Legate expired in 1143 and was not renewed. At this time Stephen was again King but lost his title in 1154, in ill health and losing the war against Matilda - Stephen agreed to give the succession to Matilda's son Henry II, in favour of his own son, and so the first Plantagenet. King Henry II, obtained the throne under the Treaty of Wallingford, aka Treaty of Winchester, aka Treaty of Westminster in 1154. This was the beginning of the end of the good Church in England. Henry II made many changes to favour secular control of the Church and these were opposed by Thomas Becket as Archbishop of Canterbury.

The trial of Thomas Becket was presided over by Abbot Henry of Glastonbury who secretly supported the family of Thomas Becket both before and after the trial. Henry II ordered the murder of Thomas Becket which was carried out by four knights. The full story of Thomas is contained in the following Golden Legend of St. Thomas Becket.

Wishing everyone Good Health on this special day of St Thomas Becket

Adam Essene, Abbot of Glastonbury

The Golden Legend: St. Thomas Becket

Here followeth the Life of S. Thomas, martyr, of Canterbury, and first the exposition of his name.

Thomas is as much to say as abisme or double, or trenched and hewn, he was an abisme profound in humility, as it appeared in the hair that he wore, and in washing of the feet of the poor people, double in prelation that was in word and in ensample, and hewn and trenched in his passion. S. Thomas the martyr was son to Gilbert Beckett, a burgess of the city of London, and was born in the place where as now standeth the church called S. Thomas of Acre. And this Gilbert was a good devout man, and took the cross upon him, and went on pilgrimage into the Holy Land, and had a servant with his knees. And on a Trinity Sunday received he his dignity, and there was at that time the king with many a great lord and sixteen bishops. And from thence was sent the abbot of Evesham to the pope with other clerks for the pall which he gave and brought to him, and he full meekly received it. And under his habit he ware the habit of a monk, and so was he under within forth a monk, and outward a clerk, and did great abstinence making his body lean and his soul fat. And he used to be well served at his table, and took but little refection thereof, and lived holily in giving good ensample.

After this, many times the king went over into Normandy, and in his absence always S. Thomas had the rule of his son and of the realm, which was governed so well that the king could him great thanks, and then abode long in this realm. And when so was that the king did any thing against the franchise and liberties of holy church, S. Thomas would ever withstand it to his power. And on a time when the sees of London and of Winchester were vacant and void, the king kept them both long in his hand for to have the profits of them; wherefore S. Thomas was heavy, and came to the king and desired him to give those two bishopricks to some virtuous men. And anon the king granted to him his desire and ordained one master Roger, bishop of Winchester, and the Earl of Gloucester's son, bishop of London, named Sir Robert. And anon after S. Thomas hallowed the abbey of Reading, which the first Henry founded. And that same year he translated S. Edward, king and confessor at Westminster, where he was laid in a rich shrine.

And in some short time after, by the enticement of the devil, fell great debate, variance, and strife, between the king and S. Thomas, and the king sent for all the bishops to appear tofore him at Westminster at a certain day, at which day they assembled tofore him, whom he welcomed, and after said to them how that the archbishop would destroy his law, and not suffer him to enjoy such things as his predecessors had used tofore him. Whereto S. Thomas answered that he never intended to do thing that should displease the king as far as it touched not the franchise and liberties of holy church. Then the king rehearsed how he would not suffer clerks that were thieves to have the execution of the law; to which S. Thomas said, that he ought not to execute them, but they longeth to the correction of holy church, and other divers points; to which S. Thomas would not agree. To the which the king said: Now I see well that thou wouldest foredo the laws of this land which have been used in the days of my predecessors, but it shall not lie in thy power, and so the king being wroth departed. Then the bishops all counselled S. Thomas to follow the king's intent, or else the land should be in great trouble; and in like wise the lords temporal that were his friends counselled him the same, and S. Thomas said: I take God to record it was never mine intent to displease the king, or to take any thing that longeth to his right or honour. And then the lords were glad and brought him to the king to Oxenford, and the king deigned not to speak to him.

And then the king called all the lords spiritual and temporal tofore him, and said he would have all the laws of his forefathers there new confirmed, and there they were confirmed by all the lords spiritual and temporal. And after this the king charged them for to come to him to Clarendon to his parliament at a certain day assigned, on pain to run in his indignation, and at that time so departed. And this parliament was holden at Clarendon, the eleventh year of the king's reign, and the year of our Lord eleven hundred and sixty-four. At this parliament were many lords which all were against S. Thomas. And then the king sitting in his parliament,in the presence of all his lords, demanded them if they would abide and keep the laws that had been used in his forefathers' days. Then S. Thomas spake for the part of holy church, and said: All old laws that be good and rightful, and not against our mother holy church, I grant with good will to keep them. And then the king said that he would not leave one point of his law, and waxed wroth with S. Thomas. And then certain bishops required S. Thomas to obey to the king's desire and will, and S. Thomas desired respite to know the laws, and then to give him an answer. And when he understood them all, to some he consented, but many he denied and would never be agreeable to them, wherefore the king was wroth and said he would hold and keep them like as his predecessors had done before him, and would not minish one point of them. Then S. Thomas said to the king with full great sorrow and heavy cheer, Now, my most dear lord and gracious king, have pity on us of holy church, your bedemen, and give to us respite for a certain time. And thus departed each man.

And S. Thomas went to Winchester, and there prayed our Lord devoutly for holy church, and to give him aid and strength for to defend it, for utterly he determined to abide by the liberties and franchise, and fell down on his knees and said, full sore weeping: O good Lord, I acknowledge that I have offended, and for mine offence and trespass this trouble cometh to holy church, I purpose, good Lord, to go to Rome for to be assoiled of mine offences; and departed towards Canterbury. And anon the king sent his officers to his manors and despoiled them, because he would not obey the king's statutes. And the king commanded to seize all his lands and goods into his hands, and then his servants departed from him, and he went to the seaside for to have gone over sea, but the wind was against him, and so thrice he took his ship and might not pass. And then he knew that it was not our Lord's will that he should yet depart, and returned secretly to Canterbury, of whose coming his meiny made great joy. And on the morn came the king's officers for to seize all his goods, for the noise was that S. Thomas had fled the land; wherefore they had despoiled all his manors and seized them into the king's hand. And when they came they found him at Canterbury, whereof they were sore abashed, and returned to the king informing him that he was yet at Canterbury,

and anon after S. Thomas came to the king to Woodstock for to pray him to be better disposed towards holy church. And then said the king to him in scorn: May not we two dwell both in this land? Art thou so sturdy and hard of heart? To whom S. Thomas answered: Sire, that was never my thought, but I would fain please you, and do all that you desire so that ye hurt not the liberties of holy church, for them will I maintain while I live, ever to my power. With which words the king was sore moved, and swore that he would have them kept, and especial if a clerk were a thief he should be judged and executed by the king's law, and by no spiritual law, and said he would never suffer a clerk to be his master in his own land, and charged S. Thomas to appear before him at Northampton, and to bring all the bishops of this land with him, and so departed. S. Thomas besought God of help and succour, for the bishops which ought to be with him were most against him. After this S. Thomas went to Northampton where the king had then his great council in the castle with all his lords, and when he came tofore the king he said: I am come to obey your commandment, but before this time was never bishop of Canterbury thus entreated, for I am head of the Church of England, and am to you, Sir King, your ghostly father, and it was never God's law that the son should destroy his father which hath charge of his soul. And by your striving have you made all the bishops that should abide by the right of the church to be against holy church and me, and ye know well that I may not fight, but am ready to suffer death rather than I should consent to lose the right of holy church. Then said the king, Thou speakest as a proud clerk, but I shall abate thy pride ere I leave thee, for I must reckon with thee. Thou understandest well that thou wert my chancellor many years, and once I lent to thee £500 which thou never yet hast repaid, which I will that thou pay me again or else incontinent thou shalt go to prison. And then S. Thomas answered: Ye gave me that £500, and it is not fitting to demand that which ye have given. Notwithstanding he found surety for the said £500 and departed for that day.

And after this, the next day the king demanded £30,000 that he had surmised on him to have stolen, he being chancellor, whereupon he desired day to answer; at which time he said that when he was archbishop he set him free therein without any claim or debt before good record, wherefore he ought not to answer unto that demand. And the bishops desired S. Thomas to obey the king but in no wise he would not agree to such things as should touch against the liberties of the church. And then they came to the king, and forsook S. Thomas, and agreed to all the king's desire, and the proper servants of S. Thomas fled from him and forsook him, and then poor people came and accompanied him. And on the night came to him two lords and told to him that the king's meiny had emprised to slay him. And the next night after he departed in the habit of a brother of Sempringham, and so chevissed that he went over sea.

And in the meanwhile certain bishops went to Rome for to complain on him to the pope, and the king sent letters to the king of France not to receive him. And the King Louis said that, though a man were banished and had committed there trespasses, yet should he be free in France. And so after when this holy S. Thomas came, he received him well, and gave him licence to abide there and do what he would. In this meanwhile the king of England sent certain lords into the pope complaining on the Archbishop Thomas, which made grievous complaints, which when the pope had heard said, he would give none answer till that he had heard the Archbishop Thomas speak, which would hastily come thither. But they would not abide his coming, but departed without speeding of their intents, and came into England again.

And anon after, S Thomas came to Rome on S. Mark's day at afternoon, and when his caterer should have bought fish for his dinner because it was fasting day, he could get none for no money, and came and told to his lord S. Thomas so, and he bade him buy such as he could get, and then he bought flesh and made it ready for their dinner. And S. Thomas was served with a capon roasted, and his meiny with boiled meat. And so it was that the pope heard that he was come, and sent a cardinal to welcome him, and he found him at his dinner eating flesh, which anon returned and told to the pope how he was not so perfect a man as he had supposed, for contrary to the rule of the church he eateth this day flesh. The pope would not believe him, but sent another cardinal which for more evidence took the leg of the capon in his kerchief and affirmed the same, and opened his kerchief tofore the pope, and he found the leg turned into a fish called a carp. And when the pope saw it, he said, they were not true men to say such things of this good bishop. They said faithfully that it was flesh that he ate.

After this S. Thomas came to the pope and did his reverence and obedience, whom the pope welcomed, and after communication he demanded him what meat he had eaten, and he said: Flesh as ye have heard tofore, because he could find no fish and very need compelled him thereto. Then the pope understood of the miracle that the capon's leg was turned into a carp, and of his goodness granted to him and to all them of the diocese of Canterbury licence to eat flesh ever after on S. Mark's day when it falleth on a fish day, and pardon withal, which is kept and accustomed unto this day. And then S. Thomas informed the pope how the king of England would have him consent to divers articles against the liberties of holy church, and what wrongs he did to the same, and that for to die he would never consent to them. And when the pope had heard him he wept for pity, and thanked God that he had such a bishop under him that had so well defended the liberties of holy church, and anon wrote out letters and bulls commanding all the bishops of Christendom to keep and observe the same. And then S. Thomas offered to the pope his bishopric up into the pope's hand, and his mitre with the cross and ring, and the pope commanded him to keep it still, and said he knew no man more able than he was. And after S. Thomas said mass tofore the pope in a white chasuble; and after mass he said to the pope that he knew by revelation that he should suffer death for the right of holy church, and when it should fall that chasuble should be turned from white into red.

And after he departed from the pope and came down into France unto the abbey of Pontigny, and there he had knowledge that when the lords spiritual and temporal which had been at Rome were come home and had told the king that they might in no wise have their intent, that the king was greatly wroth, and anon banished all the kinsmen that were longing to S. Thomas that they should incontinent void his land, and made them swear that they should go to him and tell to him that for his sake they were exiled, and so they went over sea to him at Pontigny and he being there was full sorry for them.

And after there was a great chapter in England of the monks of Citeaux and there the king desired them to write to Pontigny that they should no longer keep ne sustain Thomas the Archbishop, for if they did, he would destroy them of that order being in England. And, for fear thereof they wrote so over to Pontigny that he must depart thence with his kinsmen, and so he did, and was then full heavy, and remitted his cause to God.

And anon after, the king of France sent to him that he should abide where it pleased him, and dwell in his realm and he would pay for the costs of him and his kinsmen. And he departed and went to Sens, and the abbot brought him on the way. And S. Thomas told him how he knew by a vision that he should suffer death and martyrdom for the right of the church, and prayed him to keep it secret during his life.

After this the king of England came into France, and there told the king how S. Thomas would destroy his realm, and then there told how he would foredo such laws as his elders had used tofore him, wherefore S. Thomas was sent for, and they were brought together. And the king of France laboured sore for to set them at accord, but it would not be, for that one would not minish his laws and accustoms, and S. Thomas would not grant that he should do England against S. Thomas, and was wroth with him and commanded him to void his realm with all his kinsmen.

And then S. Thomas wist not whither to go; but comforted his kinsmen as well as he might, and purposed to have gone in to Provence for to have begged his bread. And as he was going, the king of France sent for him again, and when he came he cried him mercy and said he had offended God and him, and bade him abide in his realm where he would, and he would pay for the dispenses of him and his kin.

And in the meanwhile the king of England ordained his son king, and made him to be crowned by the Archbishop of York, and other bishops, which was against the statutes of the land, for the Archbishop of Canterbury should have consented and also have crowned him, wherefore S. Thomas gat a bull for to do accurse them that so did against him, and also on them that occupied the goods longing to him. And yet after this the king laboured so much that he accorded the king of England and S. Thomas which accord endured not long, for the king varied from it afterward.

But S. Thomas, upon this accord, came home to Canterbury, where he was received worshipfully, and sent for them that had trespassed against him, and by the authority of the pope's bull openly denounced them accursed unto the time they come to amendment. And when they knew this they came to him and would have made him to assoil them by force; and sent word over to the king how he had done, whereof the king was much wroth and said: If he had men in his land that loved him they would not suffer such a traitor in his land alive.

And forthwith four knights took their counsel together and thought they would do to the king a pleasure, and emprised to slay S. Thomas, and suddenly departed and took their shipping towards England. And when the king knew of their departing he was sorry and sent after them, but they were on the sea and departed ere the messengers came, wherefore the king was heavy and sorry.

These be the names of the four knights: Sir Reginald Fitzurse, Sir Hugh de Morville, Sir William de Tracy, Sir Richard le Breton. On Christmas day S. Thomas made a sermon at Canterbury in his own church, and weeping, prayed the people to pray for him, for he knew well his time was nigh, and there executed the sentence on them that were against the right of holy church. And that same day as the king sat at meat all the bread that he handled waxed anon mouldy and hoar, that no man might eat of it, and the bread that they touched not was fair and good for to eat.

And these four knights aforesaid came to Canterbury on the Tuesday in Christmas week about Evensong time, and came to S. Thomas and said that the king commanded him to make amends for the wrongs that he had done, and also that he should assoil all them that he had accursed anon, or else they should slay him. Then said Thomas: All that I ought to do by right, that will I with a good will do, but as to the sentence that is executed I may not undo, but that they will submit them to the correction of holy church, for it was done by our holy father the pope and not by me. Then said Sir Reginald: But if thou assoil the king and all other standing in the curse, it shall cost thee thy life. And S. Thomas said: Thou knowest well enough that the king and I were accorded on Mary Magdalene day, and that this curse should go forth on them that had offended the church.

Then one of the knights smote him as he kneeled before the altar on the head. And one Sir Edward Grim, that was his crossier put forth his arm with the cross to bear off the stroke, and the stroke smote the cross asunder and his arm almost off, wherefore he fled for fear, and so did all the monks, that were that time at compline. And then smote each at him, that they smote off a great piece of the skull of his head, that his brain fell on the pavement. And so they slew and martyred him, and were so cruel that one of them brake the point of his sword against the pavement. And thus this holy and blessed Archbishop S. Thomas suffered death in his own church for the right of all holy church. And when he was dead they stirred his brain, and after went in to his chamber and took away his goods, and his horse out of his stable, and took away his bulls and writings, and delivered them to Sir Robert Broke to bear into France to the king. And as they searched his chamber they found in a chest two shirts of hair made full of great knots, and then they said: Certainly he was a good man; and coming down into the churchward they began to dread and fear that the ground would not have borne them, and were marvellously aghast, but they supposed that the earth would have swallowed them all quick. And then they knew that they had done amiss.
And anon it was known all about, how that he was martyred, and anon after took this holy body, and unclothed him, and found bishop's clothing above, and the habit of a monk under. And next his flesh he wore hard hair, full of knots, which was his shirt. And his breech was of the same, and the knots slicked fast within the skin, and all his body full of worms; he suffered great pain. And he was thus martyred the year of our Lord one thousand one hundred and seventy-one, and was fifty-three years old. And soon after tidings came to the king how he was slain, wherefore the king took great sorrow, and sent to Rome for his absolution.

Now after that S. Thomas departed from the pope, the pope would daily look upon the white chasuble that S. Thomas had said mass in, and the same day that he was martyred he saw it turned into red, whereby he knew well that that same day he suffered martyrdom for the right of holy church, and commanded a mass of requiem solemnly to be sung for his soul. And when the quire began to sing requiem, an angel on high above began the office of a martyr: Letabitur justus, and then all the quire followed singing forth the mass of the office of a martyr. And the pope thanked God that it pleased him to show such miracles for his holy martyr, at whose tomb by the merits and prayers of this holy martyr our blessed Lord hath showed many miracles. The blind have recovered their sight, the dumb their speech, the deaf their hearing, the lame their limbs, and the dead their life. If I should here express all the miracles that it hath pleased God to show for this holy saint it should contain a whole volume, therefore at this time, I pass over unto the feast of his translation, where I propose with the grace of God to recite some of them. Then let us pray to this glorious martyr to be our advocate, that by his petition we may come to everlasting bliss. Amen.

Adam talking a little about the Quest for the holy Grail and a lot about sexuality, love, fear, problems of the fall into separation, indiginous culture and the concept of me and mine, the evolution towards "we", measuring one against the other, doing what we like without measurement, false teachers teaching about creating your own reality and how the world is an illusion - this is a false teaching - the world is real if we become one with the universe and each other - how we cannot become this - we have to realise, or understand it, how we are forced into the separation by the fallen others, those who harm us, selfishness and its passing from one to the other, the danger of schools run by fallen teachers, how schools were once churches, teachers were priests, the danger of the state becoming the church, controling the schools, arbeit and neglect of our children, how bad things have become in the west, how it will come here, conspiracy, control in fear, the good must correct the bad in their midst, how we cannot tell others what to do, leaders are the servants of the people, must be held to account as servants, selfishness and leadership, the council maffioso and more ...

a Special Message from the Heart of the Universe ...

Adam explaining how the Mayan Cycle works, with respect to the SOLAR, or 20-day cycle, comprising the Input, Store, Process, Output and Matrix sections. This information comes from the LAW OF TIME website of where you can Download the Free Mayan Calandar. Print it and give one copy away to a friend - this helps to spread the Mayan stuff around the Universe, and it is very much the time of this teaching. We need to be studying the qualities of each day so we are in complete resonance with the time we are part of, and so we can contribute our best to the Great Plan for the Redemption of Mankind.

Also on this video - the problem of the Shaman Kids - how they are not recognised in our society and how this needs to change.

Adam talking about the silly medical profession again, howw they don't understand thze reason for the SOFT PENIS and therefore try to fix a problem that doesn't exist - this is par for the4 course of MDICAL QUACKERY - how you should understand your soft penis and enjoy it! - also important for the Ladies to watch, too, so they don't get SOFT PENIS ANGST!

The Quitten by Elisabeth Essen…

The past few weeks have seen the Quitten or Quince, in English, come into the foreground... Two different Elizabeths at the same time, the time of ADVENT, have brought our attention to this fruit tree - the first by making a Quitten Bread - a special fruit dessert specially for Advent, and the second by drawing a picture of the Quitten Tree of Shillers Garden in Jena. This morning we ate the fruit of the Quitten from this same tree, and we now have one of the fruits on our Altar at the Rainbow Church of God, here in Jena.

I researched the Quitten, or Quince, on Wikepedia and this is what it says: "Kydonian apple - (in the figurative sense, similar to pomodoro - Italian word for tomato literally meaning "apple of gold", pomme de terre - the French word for potato, literally meaning "apple of the ground", and the classical "golden apple"). The quince tree is native to Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Serbia, Republic of Macedonia, Greece, and Bulgaria, but the Greeks grafted from a superior strain from ancient Kydonia (Greek: Κυδωνία), now Khania, a port in Crete, whence both the common and better-preserved genus name. The Lydian name for the fruit was kodu - Cultivation of quince may have preceded apple culture, and many references translated to "apple", such as the fruit in Song of Solomon, may have been to a quince. Among the ancient Greeks, the quince was a ritual offering at weddings, for it had come from the Levant with Aphrodite and remained sacred to her."

The Quitten by Elisabeth Essen…

So, the Quitten is a sacred wedding fruit associated with the Goddess Aphrodite - Goddess of Love.

More from Wikepedia: "Plutarch reports that a Greek bride would nibble a quince to perfume her kiss before entering the bridal chamber, "in order that the first greeting may not be disagreeable nor unpleasant" (Roman Questions 3.65). It was a quince that Paris awarded Aphrodite. It was for a golden quince that Atalanta paused in her race. The Romans also used quinces; the Roman cookbook of Apicius gives recipes for stewing quince with honey, and even combining them, unexpectedly, with leeks. Pliny the Elder mentioned the one variety, Mulvian quince, that could be eaten raw. Columella

The Quitten by Elisabeth Essen…

mentioned three, one of which, the "golden apple" that may have been the paradisal fruit in the Garden of the Hesperides, has donated its name in Italian to the tomato, pomodoro. This interesting fruit can also be eaten cooked or raw. They are an excellent source of vitamin C."

Having just read the above, I am astonished at how little I knew about this most sacred of fruits. That this was the apple from the Garden of Eden, I have little doubt. That we have such a correspondence between the characteristics and historic usage of this fruit and our own Sacred Marriage is remarkable, but does not surprise me, as it is always necessary to have these events confirmed in this way by a discovery of this kind. Now here is more about the Garden of Hesperides:

RAINBOW TREE OF LIFE - by Wila…

"The Garden of the Hesperides is Hera's orchard in the west, where either a single tree or a grove of immortality-giving golden apples grew. The apples were planted from the fruited branches that Gaia gave to her as a wedding gift when Hera accepted Zeus. The Hesperides were given the task of tending to the grove, but occasionally plucked from it themselves. Not trusting them, Hera also placed in the garden a never-sleeping, hundred-headed dragon named Ladon as an additional safeguard."

There is more interesting information here about Heracles and the Garden

In Christianity, ADVENT is the time in which we expect and wait for the Mesiah to be made ready to teach the people. The Mesiah is not something special that only comes once and then we have to wait forever - no, of course not, there are many Mesiahs in history. The Mesiah is the Son or Daughter of God. At the highest level, the Mesiah is the Divine Couple - the Sacred Marriage of the perfect Man and Woman (or Lady and Gentleman, actually). This marriage is performed BY God - the couple has no choice in the matter for God has made them and brings them together to create his Divine Couple Mesiah. Thus, John and Yoko Lennon were brought together and made a Mesiah Couple for the great work they did in the 1960's and 70's. There are many examples of this in History. Anyone who gives themselves up for the good of the world will be lead down the path of the Mesiah, which leads to the Divine Couple. It is a long and arduous journey but it is the most worthwhile persuit in life.

So at ADVENT time we celebrate this and we prepare ourselves for this - we offer ourselves up to God and allow Him to make us His Mesiah, or Maha Sambhuti, as it was called in the ancient Tantra religion of India. This is the highest aspiration of mankind, to be Maha Sambhuti, in this lifetime on Earth. And those who do not aspire to this in this lifetime benefit from the affect of the Mesiah in our midst. The Mesiah has a correcting influence on mankind, rectifying the faults in the lesser creations, or Sambhuti. See my post about this on my old blog on yahoo 360 HERE.

So I remind all of you who are on this path, take the time now in Advent to rest and comune with the Divine. Give all of your time to God and remember that it is only in recent years we had to work at this time of year. always, in the past, all work contracts were ended on November 11 and there proceded 40 days of fasting to the main celebration at Christmas time - the Birth of the Mesiah. Do the work now by giving up your concerns for the material world and living by the Divine Will of God during this period, so that you can be made ready for your work in the new year.

May the Spirit of God be with you
