Jeruzalem, Kingdom of Heaven

About a thousand years ago the crusades left for Palestine to conquer Jerusalem. It was the start of a long and painful conflict in history, which still seems to linger on till this very day. On the 5th of may there will be a worldwide release of a movie on this theme, called Kingdom of Heaven. In the West we've always been taught we were the heroes, till I came to Jericho last year and saw the other side: a movie in which the Arabs were the heroes.... Let’s first delve into the stories, facts and myths about Jerusalem, in Arabic called Al Quds -The Holy -. Without telling all, I would like to higlight a few, especially connected to the ‘Holiest of Holiest’ of the city: the temple mount. According to Jewish religion God created Adam on the ‘Foundation Rock’, Ewen Sjetie’ja. Underneath the rock is a well, called the ‘well of souls’. Later in history King David founded the temple on this place in which the arc of the covenant was to be held, with the ten commandments of Moses written on the two stone tablets. The arc stood on the foundation stone. After David Salomo finished the temple according to the holy geometry that God had given. It became the most famous temple in history, inspiring Freemasons and Templars in later centuries. When in 66 after Christ the temple was destroyed, the Jews were scattered all over the world and a two thousand year long odyssey began in their search for their home. Each year on Pesach they promised each other: “See you next year in Jerusalem.” But it would take a holocaust before the jews were able to return to the land of their fathers two thousand years later..... The Islam had in the meantime its own connection to the very same foundationstone and the templemount, also called Al Haram al Sharif. Mohammed had a vision in which he ascended to heaven on this stone to talk to Jesus, Moses and Abraham. He travelled trough the seven heavens and finally faced Allah. He came back he same way and left on his horse through the air to Mecca and started the Islam. When Jerusalem was captured by Omar in 635, he built a golden dome over the stone, which is still there. It is called the Dome of the Rock. It is the third holiest place to Muslims all over the world, and especially to the Palestinians. Midrash Tanchuma wrote about the place: "As the navel is set in the centre of the human body, so is the land of Israel the navel of the world... situated in the centre of the world, and Jerusalem in the centre of the land of Israel, and the sanctuary in the centre of Jerusalem, and the holy place in the centre of the sanctuary, and the ark in the centre of the holy place, and the foundation stone before the holy place, because from it the world was founded." The crusades In 1097 the Christians began the first crusade to Jerusalem. Godefroi de Bouillon saw himself as a direct descendant of the royal bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and thus claimed the throne of Jerusalem. He was to be the first Christan king of the Holy city of David and Jesus. For this he had to conquer the Arabs. It was one of the first big confrontations between Christians from the West and Muslims form the Middle East. A thousand years later the world was shocked as two airplanes fly into the World Trade Center and destroy them to the ground. The battle between the two patriarchal religions is still unfinished and seems to take on a new form. Interestingly enough all three of these religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam -stem from the same father: Abraham. In Hebron where he is burried he will probably turn and toss in his grave about the long dispute between his decendants. His church is now divided into two parts: a part for the Jews and a part for the Muslims. And more then that: the whole country seems to become divided by an 8 metre high wall between the Palestinians and the Israelians. The Jews are still waiting to take the temple back form the Arabs to build their third temple. According to the prophecies the Messiah will come back to the land through the golden Gate on the east side, connected to the mount of olives. But the golden gate has been closed by the Muslims. Meanwhile the Jews are awaiting the New Jerusalem. The Book of Revelation, the last book in the New Testament describes a war between good and evil and a final outcome of a "New Heaven" on earth. According to Judaism the New Jerusalem appears as a heavenly city above the earthly Jerusalem. It exists both as a vision in the present as well as in the future, but it will only be manifested in the Age of Redemption, with the earthly and heavenly Holy of Holies in direct alignment. Earth Gate There is another, less known, aspect to the story of the temple, coming from channeled information; The Foundation stone is one of the 13 earthgates, or places of creation. These thirtheen earthgates contain the blueprint of the earth in its original form; the paradise blueprint. They are spread out over the planet and form a grid of leylines, creating a field of energy around the globe. (others are Hawai, Table mountain, Eyersrock, Mount Fuji, Belucha in Siberia, Glastonbury in England, the pyramids in Gizeh, Manchu Pichu in Peru etc) This energy field allowed the planet to become a living entity, a garden for consciousness and growth. In the center of the golden dome is an energetic blueprint of the earth, held by the earth energy underneath. These places were nourished and supported by prayer and meditation, but in time the energygrid of the earth became distorted and the people forgot or abused the tools of creation. Thus the earth went out of balance and humanity left the garden of Eden. It would take ages to restore the original blueprint, which allowed human awareness to flower and thrive. According to Hindu, Maya, vedic and astrological prophecies we are leaving the Kali yuga, the most dark, chaotic and materialistic time to enter the golden age of Aquarius, the age of enlightenment. But before that the earth will go through a process of birthingpains.... Meditation As we got from channeled information it is suggested to connect to the temple mount/ the dome of the rock and sent all your love and energy to this place of creation. Visualize a circle of the twelve aspects of humanity around this golden dome, coming together in the middle. Visualize many people, light and love surrounding the place. You can also place twelve stones in a circle and a thirtheenth in the middle. ‘The ritual of the thirteen stones is a way to restore the healing power of the grail, representing all aspects of humanity. The twelve signs of the zodiac, the twelve hours, the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve esoteric traditions, the twelve powerpoints on the earth, the twelve apostels..........It is bringing all the diversity together, all its opposites uniting in a thirteenth point, so the new can arise. The grail is the vessel in which the new consciousness can be born, out of the coming together of the twelve opposites. The grail is a field of consciousness that represents the womb, the feminine energie of creation. When all things are restored and brought into place, not only the healing will take place, but it will give rise to a new web of light, encircling the earth, leaving the blueprint of the new humanity in seedform, so it can grow in many different ways. It is as if humanity will birth itself, and incarnate the christconsciousness into her own body. The more people will connect to this new vibration of consciousness the easier it gets. It is the paradise state of mind; evrything that is intended will manifest itself naturally, supported by the energies of love and focussed intent. Creation will be a collective act of love, in which all participants surrender to the greater whole, out of love, not out of force. Because it is free will only that can generate love. So in your rituals, make sure everyone can follow their own path, as crazy as it seems sometimes, or as dark; let it be, so each aspect of humanity can be honored and seen for what is it, and thus being embraced...... Connect to the One; the Jerusalem blueprint; the temple mount and sent all your love and energy to this place of creation. Visualize the earth as a flower opening up, becoming alive, radiant with love and light. Protect it and nourish it as a newborn baby. See a web of light around it, that springs forth form the source to all places and returns to the source. Be the temple, be the twelve stones, be the twelve apostels, be the twelve tribes and the thirtheenth will manifest itself. Be the one. Be the Christ. Be the many. And the many will be one. Love be upon you.....’
