4.The Sacrament of Reconciliation
Healing the mind and the spirit
Reconciliation is what God does.
Receiving it and celebrating it is what
we do.
God is not a dictator,
so he cannot heal you
if you don’t ask.
Give us a fresh understanding of brotherly love
Reconciliation within the
Community
Serve each other
Reconciliation with God.

Reconciliation with God
Kiss of Peace
Reconciliation with brothers
"The father turned to his
servants:
'Quick! Bring out the finest
robe and put it on him. Put a
ring on his finger and sandals
on his feet.
Take the fattened calf and kill
it. We will celebrate and have a
feast, for this son of mine was
dead and has come back to
life. He was lost and is found.'
And the celebration
began." Luke 16:23-24

5. The Sacrament of
the Anointing of the Sick:
Healing the body
"If anyone is sick, let him call on
the elders of the Church. They
shall pray for him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord.
The prayer said in faith will save
the sick man; the Lord will raise
him up and if he has committed
any sins, he will be forgiven."
James 5:13-15
Sometimes the touch
is Hard and
sometimes Hot
It all heals
(Lev 17:11) For the life of the flesh
is in the blood: and I have given it to
you upon the altar to make an
atonement for your souls:
The Sacraments Do Not Save
They are only a means of grace
Remember—
all your good deeds,
baptism,
confirmation,
church membership,
communion,
penance,
and praying
will surely send you to Hell
if you include them in your
faith. Put all your faith in
Jesus Christ alone!
Don't rely upon anyone or
anything besides Jesus.
"For whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved" (Romans
10:13).
Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of the
law there shall no flesh be
justified in his sight.
Just as a coal kept separate will cool
off and die, we need to have regular
rites of intensification and appropriate
initiation sacraments to keep our faith.
The God gene hypothesis proposes that
human beings inherit a set of genes that
predisposes them to believe in a higher
power. The idea has been postulated by
geneticist Dean Hamer, the director of the
Gene Structure and Regulation Unit at the
U.S. National Cancer Institute.
The God gene hypothesis is based on a
combination of
• behavioral genetic,
• neurobiological
and
• psychological
studies.
The Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 or VMAT2 is an
integral membrane protein that acts to transport
monoamines—particularly neurotransmitters such as
dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine—
from cellular cytosol into synaptic vesicles.
In humans, the VMAT2 protein is encoded by the VMAT2
gene. A single change in a single base of the gene seems
to be directly related to the increased probability that that
individual will identify as spiritual.
"It's a pump. A teeny-tiny pump responsible for packaging a neurotransmitter
for export during brain activity. The neurotransmitter is released at the
synaptic knob at the tip of an axon into the synaptic cleft. It diffuses across to
the opposite membrane (the postsynaptic membrane), where it triggers the
propagation of a nerve impulse in the next neuron.
The major arguments of the theory are
(1) spirituality can be quantified by
psychometric measurements;
(2) the underlying tendency to spirituality
is partially heritable;
(3) part of this heritability can be
attributed to the gene VMAT2
(4) this gene acts by altering monoamine
levels, and
(5) spirituality arises in a population
because spiritual individuals are
favored by natural selection.

Hamer proposes that the God gene changes the level of these
neurotransmitters so as to alter a person’s mood, consciousness
and, ultimately, self-transcendence.
He goes so far as to say that the God gene is, along with other faithboosting genes, a product of natural selection.
Self-transcendence makes people more optimistic, which makes
them healthier and likely to have more kids.
Our powerful pineal gland is believed to
be the seat of our soul and the gateway
to the universe and to higher realms.
Because it’s structure is remarkably
similar to our eye balls, it’s called the
‘third eye’ or the ‘mind’s eye’. It actually
has a lens, cornea and retina.
The pineal gland is bioluminescent and is
sensitive to light. Like a
cell phone, it has a built in
wireless transmitter and is
the connecting link
between the physical and
spiritual worlds
and higher frequencies.
By awakening our pineal
gland, we can speed up
our learning and memory
abilities, enhance our
intuition and creativity,
trigger our psychic
healing abilities and
experience bliss.
PINEAL GLAND, Spiritually
"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy
whole body shall be full of light."
Matt 6:22
The pineal gland hangs from the roof of the completely dark cave of
the 3rd ventricle of the brain and is constantly bathed in cerebral
spinal fluid (CSF). This gland was called "Seat of the Soul" by French
philosopher Rene Descartes and Alice Bailey. It is thought that the
pineal gland is the connection to our Soul.
protein that essentially holds
our body together is in the
shape of the cross where Jesus
died for EVERYONE.
(Luk 8:10) He said,
"To
you it has been given to know
but for others
they are in parables,
so that seeing they may not see,
and
hearing they may not understand.
