Who Owns The Land

Do you have land? Do you own it? If you have a mortgage on the land then who owns it? Won't the lender take it away if you don't pay your mortgage payments? So is it really yours? Lets say that you have paid off your mortgage. Now who owns the land? You would think that you do right? What happens if you do not pay your property taxes? Won't the government come and seize the land? So, who owns the land?

Does anyone really own land on this planet Earth?

Here is something I got off of the HERB website. It is what Sitting Bull, Lakota warrior said in 1932

"Our land is more valuable than your money.  It will last forever.  It will not even perish by the flames of fire.  As long as the sun shines and the waters flow, this land will be here to give life to men and animals.  We cannot sell the lives of men and animals; therefore we cannot sell this land.  It was put here for us by the Great Spirit and we cannot sell it because it does not belong to us.  You can count your money and burn it within the nod of a buffalo's head, but only the great Spirit can count the grains of sand and the blades of grass of these plains.  As a present to you, we will give you anything we have that you can take with you, but the land, never."

The Native American Indians understood that land is not something you can own. It is put here by "The Great Spirit", God.

The Parable of the Tenant Farmers in the Vineyard

33 “Listen to another parable: There was a man—a master of a house—who planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey. 34 And when the season of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the tenant farmers to collect his fruit. 35 And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, one of whom they beat, and one of whom they killed, and one of whom they stoned. 36 Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first ones, and they did the same thing to them. 37 So finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when[a] the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!’ 39 And they seized him and[b] threw him[c] out of the vineyard and killed him.[d] 40 Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?” 41 They said to him, “He will destroy those evil men completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season.” 42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures,

‘The stone which the builders rejected,
    this has become the cornerstone.[e]
This came about from the Lord,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’?[f]

43 For this reason, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people[g] who produce its fruits. 44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls—it will crush him!” 45 And when[h] the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them,

Love

Have you ever tried to put a description or a meaning to this word 'LOVE'? Every time I think about this word, love, I have a hard time putting a concrete definition to it in my mind. How would you describe to someone what love is?

13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. 

The Greek word for love is 'agape' Definitions: love, i.e. affection or benevolence; specially (plural) a love-feast; - (feast of) charity ([-ably]), dear, love.

What is it about this word? There seems to be great power in the word but how,,,, why? Does the power come from just saying the word or thinking the word? It seems this word has something to do with God.

I remember a piece I did quite a while ago 'Living Water' that was about how positive and negative words said to water affected it. There have been different kinds of experiments using water and words as explained in that blog post. It was quite amazing to see the results.

I am reading the book 'Celestine Insights' by James Redfield right now. It is an astonishing book. I am about 80% through but it is quite amazing how the things talked about in the book pertains to what is happening in our world today and possibly what will happen in the future. 

We've all experienced how certain things come into our lives as though they were predestined to be there at that very point in time. We don't often think about it in that way when it happens and I think it is because we are not attuned to it. If we were more cognizant of them I believe we would see great meaning in them (one of the insights in the book.) This book showing up in my life at this precise time when my desire is to understand 'love' is one of those predestined life experiences for me.

So, back to that powerful word 'LOVE'. The book talks about how everything vibrates at a certain frequency, everything. So I wondered if this word 'LOVE' has a frequency and was blown away by what I found out. The love frequency is 528 Hz. This frequency resonates at the heart of everything. It is the core frequency of our universe. The 528 Hz is known as the 'Miracle' tone. It is the frequency that is central to the "musical mathematical matrix of creation".  "It connects your heart, your spiritual essence, to the spiraling reality of heaven and earth."
