"And thou shalt say unto Pharoah air max 270 france , Thus saith the Lord, "Israel is my son, even my first-born. And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me;and if thou refuse to let him go, behold I will slay thy son, even thy first born(Exodus 4.22)."
The story of "Exodus"is a parable of the soul's escape from the house of bondage called Egypt. The Pharoah is your outer mind air max 2019 france , the human consciouoosness formed by sense gratification. The Lord is the God within, the I AM THAT I AM. Israel is the Christ consciousness that is formed in you by the union of these two houses in scripture, the house of Israel and the house of Judah represented in the anagram, Is ra el as two kinds of energy, one with a positive polarity of desire( ra ) and one with a negative polarity of feeling(is). This union can only be with the Lord, the God within(el) in whose image man is made(Gen 1.26). Judah, meaning praise air max 2018 france , represents your feeling body, of the emotions, negative in polarity with the house(consciousness) of Israel, meaning having power with God.
This outer mind, called the carnal mind is king of your consciousness and will not let the people of God go. If the outer personal ego represented by the king of Egypt, does not surrender to the God within, then the judgement of the living God within is to slay air max 200 france , or kill, all sense of mortality called the firstborn of ugh the plagues sent against the house of Egypt, not a place, but a state of mortal consciousness in you of the sense of sin, disease, and created by the outer ego as illusion. But the divine consciousness, however air max 2 uptempo france ,of the firstborn, your generation of consciousness according to the law of the God within, that is not mortal, but redeemed.
Note: Exodus is the second book of the Law, and corresponds to what in consciousness is deliverance, theme of having the mind of Christ. On the cosmic clock this is the mental quadrant of consciousness where thought is generated. Chapter 4 is on the 3 o'clock line of God control, in the house of Aries. And on this line is the 4th son of Jacob air max 180 france , the tribe of Judah(Gen 49.8-12). The testing of the soul on this line is overcoming all mental patterns of conceit, deceit, ego and mental arrogance embodied and outplayed by Pharoah, who has enslaved the consciousness of the whole outer world by the illusion and delusion of the personal ego. But when the outer ego is sacrificed upon the altar of the heart(39 axis of the cosmic clock of God reality and God control), the soul is union with his own Holy Christ Self. And "Israel Is My Son"-what is real in you in this God dominion over consciousness(Gen 1.26) by the right use of the first ray of God which the human has gone astray, lost and is scattered, even as the kingdom of Israel became divided- ie air max 1 france , mind from heart, and heart from mind and lost among the nations not knowing its identity as the sons and daughters of the true God within.
The first born of Egypt is in consciousness your mortal thought and feeling. This is slain when you withdraw the life from the outer senses and put your attention upon the light of God in the center of being where I Reality. There is more, where this law of cycles of the cosmic clock that is verse 22-12=10... is on the nine o'clock line of God reality in the house of libra.. this test in the threshing floor of the heart where Christ love is your gift of discernment between reality and only love fulfills the law of being.
I write on the scriptures and their correspondance to consciousness. Raised in Detroit, Mich. by disfunctional parents, I made a vow to find the truth. My quest ended in joining a spiritual community in Mt. where I am now retired.
A typical Venezuela Christmas recipe is the hallaca, which is their luxurious dinner. It is a mixture of beef, pork air max france , capers, raisins and olives that is wrapped in maize, wrapped up in plantain leaves with string and steamed afterwards. This is the meal that is traditionally served in Venezuela during the Christmas holiday.
There is a popular myth which holds that it was common practice for the plantation owners to donate their leftover Christmas food scraps-usually bits of pork and beef to their slaves, who would then wrap them in cornmeal and plantain leaves for subsequent preparation and cooking.
There are other Venezuela Christmas recipes but the hallaca is one of the most traditional and its preparation is practically limited to that time of the year. It is still prepared in a very similar fashion to colonial times with some modern refinements-the hallaca is also considered one of the most representative icons of Venezuelan multicultural heritage. The reason for this is because its preparation includes European ingredients such as raisins, nuts and olives-this is in addition to indigenous ingredients such as corn meal colored with annatto seeds; and also African ingredients such as smoked banana or plantain leaves that are used for wrapping.
The traditional hallaca is made by extending a plantain leaf, greasing it with a spoonful of annatto-colored cooking oil and spreading it on a round portion of corn dough, which is then sprinkled with pieces of stewed meat http://www.francebasketpascher.fr/ , raisins, nuts, pepper filled olives and sometimes boiled eggs. It is then wrapped in an oblong and tied with string in a square mesh before it is cooked in boiling water. When it is done it is picked from the pail with a fork, unwrapped and served on its own plantain leaves with chicken salad or plain bread.
After making the required amount of hallacas, the left over ingredients are mixed together to make a dough. The dough then undergoes the same hallaca wrap cooking preparation. These are smaller in size and fewer in number. The result in this most traditional of Venezuela Christmas recipes is the bollo, this is offered as a lighter portion to the hallaca at lunch or dinner.
