Just a wee supplemental from the Ol' Wisdom
To add here Keyward in to the Light of Bradford's
Beam recent quite Strong and Efficient...
(Too bad for you Peter, you've been surrounded by 1 Man!)
...Notice at the end below how the Self,
The I AM is asserted through the negative form...
Fascinating when we consider that it is a B.C. stance....
Enjoy!

Janaka, Emperor of Videha,
rose from his lounge, humbly approached Yajnavalkya and said:
Salutation to you, O Yajnavalkya. Please instruct me. Yajnavalkya
said: Your Majesty, as one who wishes to go a long distance would
procure a chariot or a ship, even so you have fully equipped
your mind with so many secret names of Brahman. You are also
honoured and wealthy; you have studied the Vedas and heard the
Upanishads. But do you know where you will go when you are released
from this body? Venerable Sir, I do not know where I shall go.
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka
Upanishad IV, II-Concerning The Self, 1
Then I will tell you where
you will go. Tell me, venerable Sir.
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka
Upanishad IV, II-Concerning The Self, 1
The person who is in the right
eye is named Indha. Though he is Indha, people call him by the
indirect name Indra; for the gods are fond of indirect names
and hate to be addressed directly.
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka
Upanishad IV, II-Concerning The Self, 2
The person who is in the left
eye is his wife, Viraj (matter). The akasa that lies within the
heart is their place of union. Their food is the lump (pinda)
of blood in the heart. Their wrap is the net-like structure in
the heart. The path on which theymove from sleep to waking is
the nerve that goes upward from the heart; it is like a hair
split into a thousand parts. In the body there are nerves called
hita, which are placed in the heart. Through these the essence
of our food passes as it moves on. Therefore the subtle body
(Taijasa) receives finer food than the gross body (Vaisvanara).
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka
Upanishad IV, II-Concerning The Self, 3
Of the illumined sage who
is identified with Prajna in deep sleep the east is the eastern
vital breath (prana), the south is the southern vital breath,
the west is the western vital breath, the north is the northern
vital breath, the upper direction isthe upper vital breath, the
direction below is the nether vital breath and all the directions
are all the vital breaths. This self is That which has been described
as 'Not this, not this.'

Bradford concludes;
That a heart is built on the four directions
of space and is the spiritual compass of the soul, the navigational
gyroscope of the Spirit and anchors not only the directions of
N.S.E.W. in the core of the human being; Not only places the
incarnating human being into geography; but greater still anchors
the soul in the Bull - The Lion - The EAGLE/Dove - and The Angel
that distinctly divide the constellations. This amazing Nurture/Angelic
core with streaming circulation that is larger than the circumference
of the Earth is wisdom and nourishment. That these four pivotal
constellations link to the Sun and how the Four Seasons unfold
is part of the mystery of the heart is a contribution to Intelligence.
That the Four NT writers reveal aspects and qualities of observation
connected to Luke, Matthew, Mark and John, reflects the mighty
human incarnation where the Christ wore a human heart. The heart
is a mystery of the navigational gyroscope built upon the Angelic
Wisdom in the human I.
In the movie "Return to Me" we have
an intimate outline of sharing the higher organ of Angelic navigation,
the transplanted Heart.
"When Bob Rueland's young
wife, Elizabeth dies, her heart is donated to a waiting recipient.
Later, Bob meets another woman and falls in love with her. He
realizes that destiny has taken a hand in his life when he discovers
that his new love was the recipient of his late wife's heart."
The sublime understanding of Angels and the
Dead is reduced to such dull words, as " He realizes that
destiny has taken a hand in his life when he discovers that his
new love was the recipient of his late wife's heart." Now,
because we are so narrow, clogged up and intimately dull, we
fail to see the whole aspects of organ rejection and the intimacy
of wearing someone elses heart. How has it come about that we
try to share organs, to live longer? That certain death lay on
one side of the equation and Angelic Wisdom on the other has
asked humanity to think deeply into things. This we do not do
and we fail again, and again and again..be it ever so humble
that ART tries.
It would be great if our Michael School were
able to examine the depth of things and SEE the hidden values.
But we lack directional and navigational insights, we can hardly
link two concepts together. Organs for any human being are contributions
from the planetary system, Lungs=Mercury; Gall=Mars; Heart=Sun;
Spleen, kidneys, bladder, all are uniquely fitted and built for
ONE Karma ownership.
The Immune system and our destiny are wisely
organized into the well knit human being. We may incarnate in
families with heart, or cancer dispositions but our own karma
tells us that we have issues that the planets themselves have
inscribed, from how we last used our bodies to serve soul or
spirit; Or NOt! Reincarnation shouts at us, when we look at organ
rejection and the inscripted code of the stars that we carry
in our organs. We do not want to imagine or think that our previous
karma has given us both opportunity and issues to deal with.
We love it when it all remains meaningless and gibberish. The
wisdom of the world is so rich that we remain, mostly, cowards
hiding in Poltically Correct Errors.
"Does a person lead a
normal life after a transplant?
"After a heart or heart-lung
transplant, patients must take several medications. The most
important are those to keep the body from rejecting the transplant.
These medications, which must be taken for life, can cause significant
side effects, including hypertension, fluid retention, tremors,
excessive hair growth, and possible kidney damage. To combat
these problems, additional drugs are often prescribed.
"A transplanted heart
functions differently from the old one. Because the nerves leading
to the heart are cut during the operation, the transplanted heart
beats faster (about 100 to 110 beats per minute) than the normal
heart (70 beats per minute). The new heart also responds more
slowly to exercise and doesn't increase its rate as quickly as
before.
"A patient's prognosis
depends on many factors, including age, general health, and response
to the transplant. Recent figures show that 73 percent of heart
transplant patients live at least 3 years aftersurgery. Nearly
85 percent of patients return to work or other activities they
like. Many patients enjoy swimming, cycling, running, or other
sports.
"As noted, 60 percent
of patients who receive combined heart-lung transplants survive
at least 1 year. Fifty percent live at least 3 years."

Bradford comments;
When we (anybody with cognition) looks at
the number of heart beats a minute established as an average,
70 beats in humans, (very different for a sparrow) we come upon
the reason why certain posts get re- reviewed.
Why? Because our eyes and thoughts do not
connect the dots, nor do they set us off on tangents to see how
things connect. Interest is lacking. Time. Selfishness. Blank
spaces in the mind; Shere boredom that another long winded, convoluted
piece of Poetic drivel is coming out of Bradford. But I admire
the profound work of Science, done by Spiritual Science. If you
build your medical as well as Educational thoughts on Spiritual
Science you get deeper into reality. Thinking is the only Guru,
Objective, discerning and encompassing thinking, is the only
safe guide and that is what is offered out of Spiritual Science.
"But even now we have
not a complete picture of man. We have omitted all that is connected
with the organs in the breast-organisation, with heart, and lungs
which play an active part in the breathing and circulation of
the blood. Here an entirely new element is manifest, the element
of rhythm. Inbreathing and outbreathing go on in rhythmic flow
and this is continued on into the rhythm of the blood as measured
by the pulse. The constant relationship between the two, between
respiration and the pulse, is 1 : 4. To every breath there are
4 pulse-beats; in other words, if man draws 18 breaths a minute,
there are 72 beats of the pulse to a minute. If such is not the
case, there is a disturbance in the rhythm which is invariably
a symptom of illness.
http://www.transintelligence.org/articles/The%20Human%20Organism.htm
"Let us for a moment
consider, in numbers, the laws that emerge in connection with
this relation of breath to pulse beats. We begin with the 18
breaths a minute and now calculate the number of breaths drawn
in the course of a day. In an hour, therefore, we draw 18 X 60
breaths, that is to say, 1,080. During the course of a day we
draw 1,080 X 24=25,920 breaths. A healthy man, therefore, draws
25, 920 breaths in the course of 24 hours. But we find this number
again if we turn to the world of stars.
"At the vernal equinox
the Sun stands in a definite constellation. But in the course
of time the position of the Sun changes, until finally it has
passed through the whole of the twelve constellations of the
Zodiac at the time of the vernal equinox and is standing once
again in its first position.
"Calculated in years,
this progression of the Sun at the vernal equinox through the
whole Zodiac is found to be twenty-five thousand and some hundred
years. This period was known as the Platonic Cosmic Year. This
shows us how precisely through the breath, through rhythm, man
is linked with cosmic phenomena, especially with the Sun. The
cosmic nature of man is here revealed. Ana many more relationships
of this kind could be enumerated."
http://www.doyletics.com/arj/cometsto.htm
"Now for some arithmetic
of life. Shouldn't be too difficult, if you made it through the
organic chemistry above. We breathe on the average 18 breaths
a minute. That multiplies out to 25,290 breaths per day. The
average human lives to 72 and multiplying that by 360 days in
a year, you also get 25,290 days. "We take in as many breaths
per day as we have days in our human life." Coincidence,
or deep truth?
[page 267, 268] But a day, too, is in a certain sense a breathing.
One day is also a breath. When I go to sleep, I exhale my soul,
and I draw it back in again when I awake: exhalation, inhalation.
I exhale the spiritual and inhale it again. This rhythm in my
breathing I therefore have throughout my life on earth in sleeping
and waking. This is most interesting: 25,290 breaths per day;
25,290 days in the average human life.
"Let's proceed to look
at what constitutes a year in the Earth's life. The Earth is
like a top spinning on the ground. We've all seen a top spinning:
at first it is completely vertical and then the top's axis begins
to spin around the vertical in an activity called precession.
The Earth precesses on its axis as well, which effect could be
plotted by the ancients by carefully charted the constellation
in which the Sun rose at the time of the vernal equinox (the
Spring day of equal daylight and dark). This made a complete
circle through the constellation in exactly 25, 290 years.
[page 268] "It
is the same ratio. Even the cosmic rhythm harmonizes with the
faster rhythms of breathing and blood circulation. Just imagine
how man stands within the cosmos! He is really a child of the
universe. The cosmos is his original father and mother.
"The days of the week
were named after the planets as originally named by the ancients,
which included the Sun and Moon under the rubric of planet. We
can easily recognize SATUR-day, SUN-day, and MON-day, and with
the help of foreign languages can recognize Tuesday is MARS-day
(in French, MAR-di), Wednesday as MERCURY-day (in German, WOTAN-day;
French, MERCRE-di), Thursday as THORS-day or JUPITER-day (in
French, JEU-di), and Friday as VENUS-day (in French, VENDRE-di).
In the course of every week we progress through the planets which
are our heritage. We also progress through the entire evolution
of the Earth, rightly understood, which proceeds from Old Saturn,
Old Sun, Old Moon, Earth [includes Mars, Mercury], Jupiter and
Venus. Coincidence, or deep truth?
[page 278] "Hence,
the days of the week are named after the planets. Why is that?
Because these names originated at a time when people still knew
that man is dependent on the universe. Through the very fact
of being alive, all the planets have an influence on us. The
days of the week were named accordingly. Today this is called
superstition, but calling it superstition is nothing but ignorance.
Actually, tremendous wisdom is contained in the naming the days
of the week. Yes, gentlemen, in all these matters there lies
a tremendous wisdom.
"Another realm in which
coincidence or deep truth lies to be discovered is in the association
of certain metals with the planets. One can find these listed
in any book of astrology and their very presence there is enough
to relegate this knowledge to the realm of superstition. How
did these associations get started? Was it due to some vision
of a mystic long ago? Well, it turns out to have been much simpler.
These associations came about because the ancients observed that
some people sick with a typhoid-like illness recovered and others
didn't. Over time they began to notice that those who survived,
had the illness at a time when the rays from Venus could not
fall upon the sick ones. They experimented with various metals
and found that copper helped the patients in the same way that
blocking the light of Venus did -- those treated with copper
recovered. They made the connection that something in the Earth,
namely copper, acted to block the rays of Venus from penetrating
the Earth and reaching the person. By extension of this process
they found the other elements in the Earth that blocked the influences
of the other planets as well. Below is compilation of the planets,
elements, and sicknesses the elements are useful for healing.
Mercury - mercury - syphilis
Venus - copper - typhoid
Jupiter - tin - eye diseases
Saturn - lead - bone diseases
Mars - iron - blood diseases, anemia
Moon - silver - labor in pregnancy
"If one studies plants,
they will find plants which contain minute quantities of these
various elements in their leaves which can then be used for medicinal
effect. The Benedictine monks were masters at the art of using
these elements for a curative effect, but their work was eventually
suppressed by the Church as being un-scientific. One can scarcely
locate information about the elements contained in leaves in
any scientific book extant, up until now.
[page 300] "This
is how healing is related to what can be known about plants.
You can see that today things are no longer in order when even
the thickest book on botany, although containing all kinds of
information, nevertheless lacks the most important instruction
medical men should have. There is no mention in these books of
the metals that are dissolved in blossoms or roots. If at all,
they are noted only in passing. This is a most important point,
however, because it shows us that a plant that still contains
copper today, for example, is related in its growth process to
the planet Venus; it actually opposes the force of Venus and
develops it own Venus force by absorbing copper into itself.
"This knowledge of which
plants to use can be understood if one simply pictures the human
being in its inverted relationship to the plant world. If you
do this, you will be able remember which portions of a plant
are most likely to be helpful for certain illnesses.
[page 301] "One
must realize the following, for example. One must start with
illnesses that affect the human abdomen. If one has such an abdominal
illness, one comes to know that the substances present in the
blossoms or the highest leaves of plants are especially helpful.
Good remedies can be produced for illnesses of the abdominal
organs by extracting certain substances from the blossoms and
leaves of plants. Substances taken from the roots of plants,
however, provide especially beneficial remedies for everting
connected with the human head.
"If one imagines a tree
whose root system is where the human brain is, and its leaves
spread out down throughout the human body, one would have a really
good metaphor for the human nervous system."
