A Path Of Enlightenment Healing Arts Ministry Newsletter March 2019
We, all of us, want to be more prosperous. Whether we realize it or not, there is, already, prosperity in our lives. We possess strength, the capacity to make a decision, the ability to budget our finances… Some of you have supportive relatives and friends as well as persons that have demonstrated to you that they have deserved the title of “family”.
There exists, within us a flourishing abundance of ideas as to what we want to obtain, and maybe to maintain a lavish lifestyle. We may not be where we want to be as yet, but thank your Higher Power that you are not either where you were or could be.
The following is one of many formulas to obtain everything you could ever want.
...Be Still.
1. Begin using affirmations and or devotions three times daily.2. Believe in yourself and in your abilities
3. Be Clear about what you want. Know what it is that you want. What Do You Want? Not you do not want…What Do You Want?
4. Draw a picture of what do you want. How will you and your loved ones (if there are any) benefit from your achievement?
5. Write it down and make it plain:
Then the LORD told me: "I will give you my message in the form of a vision. Write it clearly enough to be read at a glance (CEV), or
12 steps- Step 3 Made a Decision and step 4 self-inventories. Continue to use your affirmations and or devotions three times daily.
6. Become quiet, “Be still and know”. Be clear about the What you want. Your Higher Power is the How it will get done.7. Find and utilize your support system. You will need them and benefit from it.
8. Imagine yourself having, enjoying the What you want. Continue to use your affirmations and or devotions three times daily.
9. Do the work required to bring your desire forth, to take the vision from the unseen to the seen, from the invisible to where you can see, touch and feel it. If you need to take classes, then do it. For improved health then you will need to see the doctor and follow his or her instruction, then do it. If you want to save money, develop a budget, if you want a mate in your life. Did you know that placing pictures of what you think is your desired person, place pictures of couples on mirrors, and or anywhere you can view it privately, did you know this works? Please use positive affirmations and know what type of person that you do want. Remember we attract what we think about. Speak only positive words.
10. Continue to use your affirmations and or devotions three times daily.
11. Express Joy and Gratitude, in advance, for the good you have received.
12. Do not tell your idea to anyone. Be around positive people that expect you to succeed, not with jealous envious people. There are such unfortunates.
When we were in elementary school, sitting in a classroom with other students, everyone in that class room had one thing in common: to learn to read, count, comprehend what we were being taught. We listened to the teacher, applied the lessons learned and now thanks to our willingness to learn the helpful lessons we now know how read, write, and count for ourselves. The teacher was encouraging, so were our classmates. True there were classmates that were not so supportive, but you pressed-on forward with the encouragement of your teacher, supportive like-minded friends, that gave you the self-confidence that you can succeed.
And so, it is with achieving the prosperous lifestyle that you deserve. Obtain someone that is where you want to be in life. Find out from them What it was they did to achieve that it was they wanted. Be with a support system that can and will advise and offer support, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Continue to feed your mind the images of you already having, doing, being, that which you say you want. Please, refrain from, stay away from, flee, bolt using individuals that do not support your vision. There are such unfortunates that do not believe in themselves. They are not using their inherent abilities, therefore know nothing about offering to another what they do not believe they have. There is no feasible way to offer encouragement to another without faith in oneself. You deserve all that your Higher Power has to offer you. Your Higher is waiting to be invited.
Envision yourself planting the seeds of the desires of your heart, putting forth the effort of clearing a pathway for your good to become visible in your life. It (the principles) works if you work it.

*********************************************
Acts 8:27 Aramaic
Bible in Plain English
“And
he arose to go and met a certain Eunuch who had come from Kush, an official of Qandiqe, Queen of the Kushites, and he was authorized
over all her treasury and had come to worship in Jerusalem.”
Is Candace, Qandiqe, or Kandake a person or a place, or a title My sole intention was to find out more about “Candace, Qandiqe, or Kandake.
Most, if not all of the sources I’ve read, the emphasis was placed on Philip, the eunuch, baptism, the reading of Isaiah. I want to discover the existence, and life of Candace, Qandiqe, or Kandake. I am still left with the questions of the existence, and the life of Candace, Qandiqe, or Kandake.
If the named is a person, then what was her life like? Where did she grow up? What values of a village girl was she taught during her childhood? During maturation in her village? Was she taught to be culturally submissive, and obedient? Who were her parents…grandparents? Did she have mentors? Was she married? What was the spiritual practice of her tribe or village?
This and other information are usually omitted from the Holy Christian Scriptures… why is information omitted? I wonder why that is? Yet another topic of discussion. But for now, my interest is about Candace, Qandiqe, or Kandake.
The following are two schools of thought about Candace, Qandiqe, or Kandake.
School of Thought Number One:
Candace, can-da'-çe (Gk. from Ethiopic)--queen of servants. A queen of the Ethiopians whose servant was taught the truth concerning Jesus Christ and was baptized by Philip (Acts 8:27). The Ethiopians, or Cushites, were descendants of Ham, a son of Noah.
Candace:
The Queen of Ethiopia and Nubia.
Shanakhdakheto or Shanakhdakheto was a queen regnant of
the Kingdom of Kush, Kandake, kadake or kentake, often Latinized as Candace (Ancient Greek: Κανδάκη
In
a bid to conquer the formidable Ancient Egyptian Kingdom, Alexander had to
first invade Ethiopia in 332 BC. But
his army could not go past Ethiopia since it was being commanded by one of the
most dreaded generals of that time, Empress Candace. King
Alexander on seeing this decided to pull back his army as he could not risk
being defeated by this great African empress. And
up to date historically Candace is credited as one of the strongest female
military tacticians who also had great military commanding skills.
The Romans met several queens of Meroë whom they thought were
named "Kandake" (KAN-DA-key). They did not realize that
"Kandake" was simply the Meroitic title meaning "Queen" or
"Mother of the crown prince". Our modern female name Candace (now
pronounced Kan-das) comes from this ancient Nubian royal title.
The Kushites gave special honor to their queens because they believed that the kings, who were sons of these women, were also sons of the great god Amun. In other words, they imagined that these ladies were actually wives of the god and mothers of the living gods (the kings). If a king died, his wife might rule alone while her son was growing up. The people would worship her like a goddess.

The people would worship her like a goddess.
When the Romans went to war against Kush in 24 BCE, they reported that the army was led by a "Candace" who was "a very masculine sort of
woman and blind in one eye." We can understand this strange description
when we see how the artists represented the queens. They were massive, powerful
women, covered with jewels and elaborate fringed and tasseled robes. They often
appear carrying weapons in one hand, preparing to kill bunches of small enemy
figures which they hold in the other.
School of Thought Number Two:
The exact name of this Ethiopian queen is not given by Luke. It was the name of a dynasty, not of an individual, and was used for many years by the queens of Ethiopia, just as Pharaoh was the hereditary title given to ancient Egyptian kings and Caesar to Roman emperors.
In ancient times, there were two countries known by the name of Ethiopia; the one lying south-east from Jerusalem, and the other situated in Africa, beyond Egypt and Nubia. That it was the latter of which this devout eunuch was a native, is manifest, both from constant tradition, and from the name of his mistress; for the queens of the African Ethiopia, now called Abyssinia, were distinguished by the name of Candace, as the kings of Egypt, during a long succession, were denominated Pharaoh.
Commentary:
Yet, after all is said and done… I am still left with the questions of the existence, and the life of Candace, Qandiqe, or Kandake? If the named is a person, then what was her life like? Where did she grow up? What values was she taught during her childhood, during maturation in her village? Who taught it to her, and its significance? Who were her parents…grandparents? Did she have mentors? Was she married? Is It Asking Too Much To Get One Story Straight?

The Universe Needs You.
There
are those which believe in a Higher Power, whether religious (organized and
public) or Spiritual (individual and Personal). Believe it or not our Higher Power
or The Universe needs us. The following
is my impression of a chapter located in the book, Your Mind Can Heal You. The
name of the chapter is, The Universe Needs You.
The
Universe needs for us to the work the Law of Harmony. The universe thinks unity. The word universe means to turn into one. It shows one coherent,
cooperating system achieving unity.
The
universe needs us to be on the same page with each other. Where ego, exclusivity,
separation, thinking that one is better-than, or anything that we can think of which
infers superiority, or viewing oneself as better than another.
The
universe needs us to understand that It lives within all of us and It does not distinguish,
doesn't seem to assist on behalf of one population and leave the other
population out.
I
think what the universe really needs from us is for us to stop fighting like
children. For countries to stop having the need to fight, bully or out-do each other!
God forbid we become willing to resolve issues, to get over whatever hang-ups which
are invented by the fearful ones. Whatever the popular commercial images that
are offered in our society, although the images are dominant, these images are,
in fact, The Wall. No group is better-than another. That is the Truth. What is
a Truth? Truth can be a truth even
though one does not believe it. The
universe needs us to end separatism and segregation. The universe needs us to
end being fearful of each other.
The universe needs us to apply the Law of Harmony. Its creation, which is us, is fighting each other. We are making a conscious choice to look at the exterior of each other. We are afraid of each other due to the unwillingness to allow ourselves to see the light that is reflected upon us from the one you are afraid of. The one that you are afraid of is afraid of you. They are afraid of your fear. It is our fear of each other and ourselves that will not allow our light within to recognize another. Until we get past the fear, put our heads together and figure out what is The Law of Harmony, how to apply The Law of Harmony, what’s in it for us to apply The Law of Harmony in our life, world and affairs there may never be peace. Until then, we will always be living in strife, and separatism.
The universe needs us. It would be to our advantage to find out what exactly what does It want from me…what does It want from you…from us. I would guess that the Universe wants us to establish and maintain Harmony. Thank You.
