Power of Faith

Faith means complete trust, confidence, or reliance. Faith comes from Middle English and Old French terms as well as the Latin "fides", which means confidence and belief, of "fidere", to trust.

Even though the faith is invisible in operation, the results or manifestations of faith are visible. Likewise the law of gravity cannot be physically observed, but its effects or manifestations can be observed and measured.

There may be some that doubt the existence of the law or principle of faith because its operation cannot be physically observed and it takes place within man's mind.

In the physical realm there are very few laws of nature that can be observed in their actual operation. For example, no one has actually seen the law that causes the red blood cells to carry atoms of oxygen or that causes the cell to divide and grow in our physical body. Neither has anyone seen the law that governs the energies and forces in an atom. Does this mean that this law doesn’t exist? The answer for any scientist or metaphysician is NO! So because the operation of a law cannot be observed with our physical eyes, doesn’t mean the law is not in existence. It is ludicrous or ridiculous to use physical observations as the sole criteria to judge whether a principle exists. Likewise ignorance of a law or principle doesn’t deny its operation and penalty for violating it. In reality, the Law of Principle is never actually observed even in the physical realm, but the manifestations are.

Faith is a mental process of the mind. It is not some physical ritual or biological operation. In reality, faith is the mental acceptance of the truth or actuality of something. Its synonyms are belief, trust, loyalty, etc. Since faith is a mental process, it is not predicated or dependent upon whether the thing or principle believed is true or false. Discernment of the facts is not a prerequisite for having faith or belief in something. What faith implies is absolute certainty, full trust, and complete confidence in the source whether there be any objective or not to support it.

The faith as follows in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews first verse: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (King James version).

The revised version of the bibles restates Heb. 11:1 as follows: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the proving of things not seen.”

The Apostle Paul further said that the principle or law of Faith is absolutely necessary to serve Our Heavenly Father. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them diligently seek Him.”

The word “faith” is often associated with a dogma or a religion such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, etc., but we see from truly a divine sense that is a process of the mind or the soul’s acceptance of the truth based on objective evidence. Most people absolutely no knowledge or understanding of the structure and operation of faith although its results are magic.

Sources of Inner Power - Part 1

The main inner power sources in human beings are located at the navel chakra or as the Chinese ancient Qi Gong call it "Dan Tian or Tan Tien" roughly means Field/Ocean of Elixir. There are locations in the body which are able to store and generated chi (prana, vital energy, vital force, etc.) in the body. The first one is called "Shiah Dan Tian" (Lower Dan Tian), in Chineses medicine it is called Qihai, which means "Chi Ocean". It is located about one inch to 1 1/2 inch below your navel and is about one to two inches deep.

In both Chinese medicine and Qi Gong society, the Lower Dan Tian is considered to be the well spring of human energy. Abdominal exercises not only open Chi channels, they can also draw original Chi from its residence in the Lower Dan Tien to join the post-birth chi in its circulation. 

Original Chi is considered to be the original vital source of human energy. Therefore, in and out abdominal exercise called "Chi Huo" which means "start the fire".

Make no choices with Expectations

When you are thinking about the frequencies that you would like to tune into, do not choose any that you will put expectation on.
for example: I you choose to tune into a frequency that must be experienced by a certain date, then you will have expectations that the experience must happen before that certain date.

Each Version of Reality is Already Created

All possibilities exist already. You are not creating something that wasn’t already created, because all of creation was already created by you.
Creation was a singular act. So as you tune into a specific reality, you are not manifesting something by creating it to be there. You just have to view what is already there because all versions of reality are already there, then you just have to tune your frequencies to match the frequencies of those versions of reality.
All possibilities already exist wherever you look.

Philosophy of Javanese

JAVA and kejawen as inseparable from one another. Kejawen can be a cover or outer skin of some of the teachings that developed in the Land of Java, during the time of Hinduism and Buddhism. During its development, the spread of Islam in Java is also wrapped by the teachings of the past, sometimes even involving aspects of Javanese as beepers good path for the spread. Walisongo had a big hand in spreading Islam in the Land of Java. The elements of Islam seek implanted in cultures such Javanese puppet show, chant songs of Java, the snakes (putuah the form of philosophy), old stories, to the ceremonies of the tradition developed, especially in the Kingdom of Mataram (Yogya / Solo).

In the puppet show of the best known is the story of Fiber Kalimasada (sheet containing mantras / sacred) is quite potent against all keangkaramurkaan earth. The story is told that the bearer of this fiber will be a magic mandraguna. No one knows what the fiber is. But the end of the story, the secret of thefiber even this was unfolded by the puppeteer. Contents fiber Kalimasadareads "I testify there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is his messenger", the content is no other content of Word Creed.

In wayangpun show the saint is always held in the courtyard, a circular trench around it given a clear watery. To this trench is nothing but puppets to train the audience to w isuh or wash their feet before entering the mosque.Symbolization of wudu are adequately addressed.

In subsequent developments, the trustee is also spreading the songs that nuanced symbolism is strong. The famous essay of Sunan Kalijaga is the song -Ilir Ilir. Not every poem symbolizes the teachings of Islam, given the need for a beauty in composing a song. Part of the meaning that is now being excavated from this song include:

No ijo royo-royo no bride senggoh Friday: This is a description of the youths, followed by,

Angon cah, cah Angon, penekna Blimbing kuwi, Lunyu-mun Lunyu penekna Seba co afternoon : Cah Angon is a symbol of man as the Caliph Fil ard, or the natural custodians of this earth ( Angon Grounds ). Penekno Blimbing kuwi , likened the star fruit which has five terms of forming stars. The fifth aspect of it is working pillars of Islam (the five) and five-time prayers. Medium -Lunyu Lunyu penekno , means, not easy to do both (Pillars of Islam and pray five times), and indeed the way to heaven is not easy and smooth. mun bottle of co afternoon , for lunch the next day (life after death).

While padhang rembulane, while Jembar kalangane : While there's still plenty of time while young, and when the power is still strong, then do it (for worship).

Indeed there are many translations of this song, but the same substance, namely religious grounding, socialize with do not forget to worship still fun to new followers.

In Javanese songs, there gendhing named Mijil , Sinom, Maskumambang, kinanthi, Asmaradhana, until megatruh and Pucung. It was all a journey of a human life. Take Mijil , which means exit, can be interpreted as the birth of a newborn baby from the mother's womb. Sinom can be interpreted as a young man eager to learn. Maskumambang means an adult male is old enough to marry, while for his daughter with gendhingKinanthi . The next process is a marriage or katresnan between both symbolized by Asmaradhana. Until finallyMegatruh , or may be separated Megat-Ruh.Megat means divorced or separated while the spirit is spirit or soul. This process breathe death of a man. As a religious community of Islam in his funeral procession, the body weight should be shrouded with white cloth, perhaps this is symbolized byPucung (or Pocong).

All types of the piece laid out nicely with syai verses diversified, making it easy and always fitting for sung in his time.

There are many Javanese philosophy that sought translated by the trustees, suggesting that Walisongo in the teaching of religion has always underpinned by a strong culture. It is very possible, because the Java community that adheres to high culture, it would be difficult to leave the old culture to a new academic proficiency level, although teaching is actually teaches something better, like the religious teachings of Islam. A political system hit a wall ja (not against the current) is applied by the Dunan ..

In Javanese culture is actually quite loaded with the philosophy of life (snakes).It's called the Hasta Brata which is a theory of leadership, contains about things that are symbolized by objects or natural conditions such as Surya, Candra, Kartika, Space, Maruta, Ocean, Dahana and Bhumi.

1. Surya (Sun) emits light as a source of life. Leaders should be able to foster the vitality of its people to build the nation and country.

2. Candra (Moon), which emit light amid the darkness of night. A leader should be able to give encouragement to people in the middle atmosphere of love, or sorrow.

3. Kartika (Stars), light emitting kemilauan, was at the height to be used as guidelines for the direction, so that a leader should be an example for to do good

4. Space (sky), the area is infinite, to be able to accommodate whatever comes padanya.Prinsip a leader should have an inner sincerity and ability to control themselves in menampungpendapat a variety of subjects.

5. Maruta (Wind), there is always everywhere without distinction of place and always fill all the empty space. A leader should always be close to the people, regardless of the degree of da dignity.

6. Ocean (Sea / water), no matter how wide, flat surface always is cool and refreshing. Leaders should be affectionate towards his people.

7. Dahana (Fire), has the ability to burn all that come into contact with it. A leader should be dignified and courageous truth strictly enforce indiscriminately.

8. Bhumi (earth / ground), is strong and generous. Always give the results to the care of her. Leaders should be generous (to serve) the people not to disappoint the trust of its people.

In theory there are several other leadership philosophy more widely used, so that each leader (especially from Java) have the attitude of calm and dignity so that people can live quietly in performing activities such as philosophy: Agumunan ja, aja aja dumeh kagetan lan. That is, as a leader should not be too surprised ( gumun) to something new (though actually very, very surprised), showed no attitude surprised if there are things beyond expectation and should not be arrogant ( dumeh) and moral hazard as being a philosophy pemimpin.Intinya It teaches you about keeping the attitudes and emotions for everyone, especially a leader.

Philosophy as a child buahpun also exist in the teachings of Java, is formed so that a subordinate can be cooperative with the leaders and not counting egoism of personality, especially to embarrass your boss, as illustrated by,Taxable cepet ndhisiki ning aja, aja ning ngguroni clever taxable, taxable takon ning ngrusuhi wrote. That is, be quick but do not precede (the chairman), may be smart but not patronizing (of directors), may ask but do not corner the leadership. The point of a men do not act in an embarrassing leadership, although he may be more capable than the leader. This philosophy is absolutely not to hinder one's career in the works, but, here's the code of ethics or norms that should be understood by each child a fruit or a citizen, in order to maintain the image of leadership which means the image of the company and the nation at large. Submission of opinion should not be a humiliating, patronizing and demonstrate ( ngrusuhi ) leadership, but there must be some way out of it better. After all, if we are good, without having to demonstrate our good vulgar, people will judge both.

In public life there is any philosophy that explains about The Right Man on the Right Place (People who are good are the people who know the place). In philosophy the term java diucapakan with pucuke | Mobile Want to sign self-saka, saka Want to sign sports clothing. means that a person's dignity depends on the words and the person should be able to put themselves in accordance with the dress (the situation). So do not be surprised if someone as clever sayings and put himself would be appreciated by others. Not intervene and enter a world not of this world, actually teaches an attitude called professionalism, which might be encountered rather infrequently (again). For example there is no difference between a student who went to college with who went to the mall, and that was just seen in terms of fashion / dress, which of course clothes will greatly affect a person's behavior and psychology.

There are still many Javanese philosophy that may be, can not be described one by one, especially my desire not to discuss this much, considering it's not my field, but we just want to give a public discourse to the reader, that, a lot of science that we can dig from culture (Java) we have, before we dig in advance only imitate foreign culture (foreign cultures) only.

Kejawen

Kejawen is a metaphysical search for harmony within one's inner self, connection with the universe, and with an Almighty God. Javanese beliefs are a combination of occultism, metaphysics, mysticism and other esoteric doctrines, exemplifying a Javanese tendency for synthesis. The Javanese system is so flexible that syncresis in all manifestations is attainable, even that which is in conflict. Javanese ideals combine human wisdom (wicaksana), psyche (waskita) and perfection (sempurna). The follower must control his/her passions, eschewing earthly riches and comforts, so that he/she may one day reach enlightened harmony and union with the spirit of the universe.

This is Tata Susila (ethics) also:

  • To be honest, not to cheat, ready to help others.
    To well behave by avoiding mo limo (5 bad conducts in Javanese language starting with mo); Main - gambling; Madon - commit adultery;Mabuk - excessive alcoholic drinking; Madat - using opium, narcotics, etc; Maling - stealing. Needless to say that killing & cruelty must be avoided too.
  • To do a correct behavior avoiding wrong doings to protect a good reputation, so that someone should not feel isin (to feel ashamed). To feel "isin" due to bad conduct for a Javanese is shameful, it is losing honor.
  • To maintain harmony (rukun), free of conflicts in the family, the neighborhood, the village, the country & the world. The harmonious relation between men - is important. Factually when, there is a ruin in life of human beings, it is due to irresponsible people. Only a very small part was due to disturbance by animals and/or spirits.
    A popular proverb says:
    Rukun agawe santoso means rukun makes us strong.
  • To be patient (sabar), to be able to do self-control.
  • To accept his fate consciously & not to envy to the other's success (nrimo)
  • Don't be selfish, to act only for his own interest. Sepi ing pamrih (free of self interest). Sepi ing pamrih, rame' ing gawe, which means in a broader sense: free of self interest, be always ready to work hard for the society and the welfare of the world.
    (rame >< sepi = (ready to work) hard/seriously, gawe = work or to organize parties such as wedding party etc.

Inner alchemy

Whether sitting for long periods without lying down or whether engaged in walking practices throughout the six division of the day, the vital breath must always be made to fill the space between the navel and the lions. Even though one may be hemmed in by worldly cares or tied down by guests who require elaborate attention, the source of strength two inches below the navel must naturally be filled with the vital breath, and at no time may it be allowed to disperse. This area should be pendulous and well rounded, somewhat like a new ball that has yet to be used.

It is essential always to keep the upper parts of the body cool and the lower parts warm. You must know that to nourish the body, it is imperative that the vital energy be made to fill its lower part. Frequently people say that the divine elixir is the distillation of the five elements, but they are unaware that the five elements, water, fire,earth,air and ether earth are associated with the five sense organs: the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body. How does one bring together these five organs in order to distill the divine elixir?


For this we have the law of the five non-out followings: when the eye does not see recklessly, when the ear does not hear recklessly,

when the tongue does not taste recklessly, when the body does not feel recklessly, when the consciousness does not think recklessly,

and then the turgid primal energy accumulates before your very eyes. This is the last physical energy?of which Siddhas speak. If you draw

this energy and concentrate it in the space below the navel; if you constantly, then before you know it the elixir ?oven is overturned

and the whole universe become a mass of this great circulating elixir. Then you will awaken to the fact that you yourself are a divine sage with true immortality, one who was not born before heaven and earth were formed and who will not die after empty space has vanished. Now you can churn the ocean into curds and change earth into gold. For this reason it is said: the circulation of one drop of this elixir can change metal into gold.?

Ancient Siddhas have said: ?The essential thing for nourishing life is to strengthen the physical frame. The secret of strengthening the

physical frame lies in concentrating the spirit. When one concentrates the spirit, the energy accumulates. When the energy, accumulates the elixir is formed. When the elixir is formed the physical frame becomes firm. When the physical frame is firm the spirit is perfected.?

But above all, one must realize that this elixir is by no means something outside one's own body For example, there are jewel field

and there are millet fields. The jewel fields produce jewels; the millet fields produce crops. In man there are the Manipoorakam and

the Mooladharam. The Manipoorakam is the treasure house where that vital energy is accumulated and nurtured; the Mooladharam is the

castle town where the divine elixir is distilled and the life span preserved. A man of old has said: The reason the great rivers and

seas attained to sovereignty over the hundred other streams was that

they had the virtue of being lower than the others.? The oceans from

the outset occupy geographically a position lower than all other

waters; thus they receive all these waters but never increase or

lessen. The Manipoorakam is situated in the body at a position lower

than that of the five internal organs and ceaselessly stores up the

true energy. Eventually the divine elixir is perfected and the

status of an immortal is achieved.

The Moolam (source centre) is located in three places in the body, but the one to which I refer is the lower moolam. The manipoorakam is located in the navel; Manipoorakam is situated in the navel, the mooladharam below it, and it is in this area that the true energy always accumulates. When the body and mind are attuned, they say that even if one is a hundred years old, the hair does not turn white, the teeth remain firm, the eyesight is clearer than ever before, and the skin acquires a luster. This is the efficacy of nurturing the primal energy and bringing the divine elixir to maturity. There is no limit to the age to which one may live; it depends only on the effectiveness with which the energy is nurtured. The inspired doctors of old effected cures even before a disease made its appearance and enabled people to control the mind and nurture the energy. Quack doctors work in just the opposite way. After the disease has appeared they attempt to cure it with external varma theraphy, pukai theraphy (moxa treatment), and pills, with the result that many of their patients are lost.

Generally speaking, essence, energy, and spirit are the foundation stones of the human body. The enlightened man guards his energy and does not expend it.

The enlightened man allows the vital breath to a accumulate fully below. Therefore there is no room for the misfortunes to operate, nor can the evils invade from outside. The circulatory organs work efficiently and the heart and mind brim with health.

For the mind that is master of true meditation, the space below the navel is as firm as though a huge rock were settled there, and when this mind functions in its awesome dignity, not one deluded thought may enter, not one discriminating idea can exist. Heaven and

earth are one finger; all things are one horse.
