THE SACRAMENTS OF HEALING

4.The Sacrament of Reconciliation

Healing the mind and the spirit

Reconciliation, Annointing of sick

Reconciliation is what God does. 

Receiving it and celebrating it is what we do. 

God is not a dictator, so he cannot heal you if you don’t ask.

Reconciliation within the Community

Give us a fresh understanding of brotherly love

Serve each other

Reconciliation with God.

Confession

Reconciliation with God

Kiss of Peace

Reconciliation with brothers

"The father turned to his servants:

'Quick! Bring out the finest robe and put it on him. Put a

ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

Take the fattened calf and kill it. We will celebrate and have a feast, for this son of mine was

dead and has come back to life. He was lost and is found.' And the celebration began." 

Luke 16:23-24

5. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick:

Healing the body

"If anyone is sick, let him call on the elders of the Church. They

shall pray for him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer said in faith will save the sick man; the Lord will raise him up and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven." 

James 5:13-15

Sometimes the touch is Hard and

sometimes Hot

It all heals

(Lev 17:11) For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:

The Sacraments Do Not SaveThey are only a means of grace

Remember—all your good deeds, baptism, confirmation, church membership, communion, penance, and praying will surely send you to Hell if you include them in your faith. Put all your faith in Jesus Christ alone!

Don't rely upon anyone or anything besides Jesus.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).

Romans 3:20

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight.

Just as a coal kept separate will cool off and die, we need to have regular rites of intensification and appropriate initiation sacraments to keep our faith.

The God gene hypothesis proposes that human beings inherit a set of genes that predisposes them to believe in a higher power. The idea has been postulated by geneticist Dean Hamer, the director of the Gene Structure and Regulation Unit at the U.S. National Cancer Institute.

The God gene hypothesis is based on a combination of

• behavioral genetic,

• neurobiological

and

• psychological

studies.

The Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 or VMAT2 is an integral membrane protein that acts to transport monoamines—particularly neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine—from cellular cytosol into synaptic vesicles.

In humans, the VMAT2 protein is encoded by the VMAT2 gene. A single change in a single base of the gene seems to be directly related to the increased probability that that individual will identify as spiritual.

"It's a pump. A teeny-tiny pump responsible for packaging a neurotransmitter for export during brain activity. The neurotransmitter is released at the synaptic knob at the tip of an axon into the synaptic cleft. It diffuses across to the opposite membrane (the postsynaptic membrane), where it triggers the propagation of a nerve impulse in the next neuron.

The major arguments of the theory are

(1)spirituality can be quantified by psychometric measurements;

(2) the underlying tendency to spirituality is partially heritable;

(3) part of this heritability can be attributed to the gene VMAT2

(4) this gene acts by altering monoamine levels, and

(5) spirituality arises in a population because spiritual individuals are favored by natural selection.

Hamer proposes that the God gene changes the level of these neurotransmitters so as to alter a person’s mood, consciousness and, ultimately, self-transcendence.

He goes so far as to say that the God gene is, along with other faith-boosting genes, a product of natural selection.

Self-transcendence makes people more optimistic, which makes them healthier and likely to have more kids.

Our powerful pineal gland is believed to be the seat of our soul and the gateway to the universe and to higher realms. Because it’s structure is remarkably similar to our eye balls, it’s called the ‘third eye’ or the ‘mind’s eye’. It actually has a lens, cornea and retina.

The pineal gland is  bio-luminescent and is sensitive to light. Like a cell phone, it has a built in wireless transmitter and is the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds and  higher frequencies.

By awakening our pineal gland, we can speed up our learning and memory abilities, enhance our intuition and creativity, trigger our psychic healing abilities and experience bliss.

PINEAL GLAND, Spiritually   "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."Matt 6:22

The pineal gland hangs from the roof of the completely dark cave of the 3rd ventricle of the brain and is constantly bathed in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). This gland was called "Seat of the Soul" by French philosopher Rene Descartes and Alice Bailey. It is thought that the pineal gland is the connection to our Soul.

protein that essentially holds our body together is in the shape of the cross where Jesus died for EVERYONE.

(Luk 8:10) He said,

"To you it has been given to know

but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
