Melchizedek, we hardly knew ye

[dauer]

Sacredstar,

I've heard that about the Egyptian before. However, it's important to take into account what the Hebrew root of the word means. Resh Kaf Bet from which comes a verb for riding something, a word for that which is ridden, for one who rides, etc. And much of this is outside of a spiritual context. It can even be used for chariots of war. It would make sense that two languages from the same region would have similar sounding words but I would look for the meaning of a word in its own language first.

I also disagree with those who say ancient Jews had a strong effect on the early Japanese because of simlarities like keneset/kensei, daber/daberu, goy/gai'jeen, kor/koru. Actually, that seems a little more plausible but I still find it unlikely. If I knew anything about Japanese I'm sure it would seem entirely unlikely.

Dear Dauer

Thank you, I will enjoy viewing them at leisure after supper, it is wonderful to look at a totally new area of mysticism. This is a wonderfully diverse and interesting group.

Love beyond measure

This probably isn't wanted but Ras Pidow gave a great reasoning on Melchizidek. I can do a translation if needed.

Ras Pidow: Glory to Word, Glory to Sound, Glory to the Most High Jah Rastafari

Yes Haile I Selassie I, He is de owner-founder of Sun Moon and Stars, Man Woman and Children. Green herb, heat, air, water. And all creeping things upon de face of dis Earth dat have breath. Dose dat fly within de midst of heaven and dose dat are hidden from de face of man. Internally live! JAH RASTAFARI! Let all living things call HIM. He is without father, He is without mother, without beginning of days nor end of time.

Hebrews 7 declare it biblically: no descent. Having neither beginning of days. He is Priest Melchisedek yet Father yet Mother. Without void without form, yet void yet form. All void and all form. Unsearchable!

Coming thru Lineage, Through even Jes-us Christ 2000 years ago. Coming thru Judah who proved a better Testamant than (Levi)-Priest Melchisidek. As it is written in Hebrews 7. Coming thru Acts 2nd, (29th) verse as it is said, Men and brethren, let me freely speak of the Patriarch David who is now dead and buried. But his Sepulchre is here with us now. Understand dat!

And thru the lineage according to de flesh, thru David line Christ must return to reign upon His Throne. Haile I Selassie I is greater David greater Son, who stand to rule and reign worldwide.

Unfathomable! The Master Builder of Creation. The Almighty in Person, Natural Man. Haile Selassie is a title given to Ras Tafari. Malachi first declare it. The heathen shall shook at His great and dreadful name.

Ras means King. Tafari mean Head Creator. He is Redeemer, King, Creator, in bliss, returned to reign forever! Jeremiah declare it: Iam black, astonishment is being taken out upon me. Iam one forever. So as de Sun is one, so Haile Selassie I, The Might of the Trinity, JAH RASTAFARI is one. One heart, one love, one moon, one earth, one life, so there must be one God. The Almighty JAH RASTAFARI!

Bump for relevence to another thread.

And I always wondered why listening to Reggae made me feel so good. I remember that there was some sort of special relationship between John F. Kennedy and King Haile Selassie, The Lion of Judah. So much so that behind JFK's family in the funeral procession, King Selassie and Charles DeGaulle headed up the international delegation paying their respects. Also, at the Church of the Holy Seplichure, the most prominent position nearest the spot believed to be where Jesus lay in death, is reserved and occupied by Ethiopian Orthodox Church representatives.This Church is very close in doctrine and practice to the Egyptian Coptic Church which is generally acknowledged to be the oldest extant Christian denomination.

just wanted to share a different perspective on Melchizedek .... which can be found at a web site Hidden Meanings ... Melchizedek is also associated with the concept of 10% tithing and one possible inner meaning into the name is that "Melchizedek is dark matter and makes up 90% of the universe and by receiving an additional 10% reaches perfection and can then return the blessing to us" .... so what if through meditation we give 10% over to the whole or the remaining 90% dark matter and through this process we integrate with some sort of universal consciousness .... just musing about the universal consciousness, but the inner meaning of the world Melchizedek is quite interesting .... "mel" black or dark
"chi" 22nd letter of the greek alphabet, life force
"z" symbol for atomic number 2, symbol for impedance
(a mesure of total opposition to current flow)
"dek" ten
it seems to me that "righteous king", "prince of light", and even "prince of darkness" are all related to this meaning .... when we go into meditation we tithe to the "king" by giving our 10% and bridging the "whole brain" to open the channels for visions or revelations .... we become whole brain thinkers and this is when the "three" hemispheres become "one" .... Melchizedek is associated with the ascent or descent of the chariot which is also symbolically connected with this process of moving energy upward into the brain through the brain stem .... I also remember somewhere reading about how this energy must pass through two small glands at the base of the brain stem called the "olivaries" (or something like that) and this is the process of being "annointed" with "olive oil" .... this whole posting is probably not as coherent as I would like to make it, but thought I would at least share an alternative thought .... he hawai'i au, pohaikawahine
