@wizanda ,
There's a lot to go over in the last post. I hope you don't mind that I go topic to topic and respond to each?
These [Teshuvah and Yeshua] are not opposite, they all come from the Oneness of one Source... Don't limit the perspective by looking so close; climb the mountain, and see the woods for the trees.
I'm sorry, but, you're not being fair. This is a double standard. Your evidence for connecting Teshuvah and Yeshua comes from a "looking close perspective". See below:
When [Yesha] is enclosed inside the posts of words like Teshuvat, it becomes what the spirit shall become sanctified within.
Do you see what I mean? This ^^ is your justification from a scriptural perspective. And it comes from a zoomed-in focus. That means that refutation should be acceptable coming from a similar POV?
This is why it is unfair and represents a double standard to dismiss this refutation. (
not to mention that that 'Yesha' **is not included** in 'Teshuvah' at all )
The candle design in Exodus 25:31-40 specifically states to match the Canna leave, which is then used in the Holy Anointing Oil (Exodus 30:23-25).
I thought you just asked me to zoom out?
But OK, I'll zoom in and look at the details:
Please provide the specific words in Exodus 25 that match the Canna leaf?
I reviewed it myself, and I'm not seeing it. Even if I relax the constraint ( which you provided ) of "specifically stated" and zoom out; I do not see serrated cannabis leafs being incorporated into the design of The Menorah. It's elemnets are smooth and made from single peices of metal. All cannabis leafs have the same charateristic serrated edges. Take away the serrated leaf, and it doesn't look like cannabis anymore. Not serrated. Not cannabis. That's my position. Please feel free to prove me wrong.
In Zoroastrianism they had Haoma, Hinduism had Soma, and Buddha had Bhang.
( going back to the OP ) Relevance for a Rabbinic Jew?
All prophets had cannabis in their diet, it is neurologically required to not have malnutrition for the brain, as it needs regulated omega oils which are actively found in cannabis.
Humans have an endocannabinoid system, like we're literally hardwired to need it as part of our food; hemp is the best form of protein, and the best brain food, etc.
Wiz, buddy, pal...
Given the data you have provided, how credible is the claim "All prophets had cannabis in their diet"? Please?
I think this is something that I can 'reject' in good conscience.
Thus when prophets had weed they were inspired to write divine poetry, as they connected to the Source within.
Nope. There's no way, based on what you said. It really is quite illogical. The whole theory collapses as soon as you claim that the prophets were under the influence.
( and this is why I doubted if you were knowledgeable about cannabis )
Let's look first at cannabis oil.
Cannabis doesn't work the way you are describing. Cannabis oil is not psychotropic topically. At best, it's used for arthritis, but that's when the oil is closer to 70% pure. The proportions in Exodus max out at 50%, and that doesn't include the hin oil as a solvent. Mind altering effects from the anointing oil is not possible even at this maximum concentration. But it wouldn't be anywhere near 50%... Today's commercial cannabis contains max 30% THCA. So the actual concentration ( again using today's cannabis, not ancient cannabis ) of the active ingredient actually maxes out at 15% ( again ignoring the hin of oil which is added on top of that ). The result would be an oil with a very low concentration of the active ingredient that provides limited pain relief much less anything that could be defined as mind altering or even inspiring poetic or musical creativity.
Further, if the intention was to have a mind altering/expanding experience from cannabis it would need to be in the incense. Right? Maybe it was in the show-bread??? Maybe. But, it would make a lot more sense to put it in the incense... But the mysterious cinnamon spice ( which you claim to be cannabis ), isn't included in the description for the incense in the Tanach just a few verses later.
The only plausible explanation ( if you want to maintain the claim that קנמן בשם = cannabis ) is that the oil was not mind altering. As soon as the claim is made that the prophets were getting high; then the argument falls apart because cannabis does not render mind altering effects in this context.
What does this mean? If קנמן בשם = cannabis; then cannabis is included in the oil but not in the incense. That doesn't make sense if the prophets were under the influence. Therefore, it is illogical to say both "קנמן בשם = cannabis"
and "the prophets were under the mind altering effects of THC".
Either one
might be true ( highly unlikely but possible ); but you can't have both and be using the Hebrew in
The Torah to make your case.
As a shaman who goes back to before Atlantis, with many flashback memories of having taught this knowledge throughout time...Before reading the Bible a Red Robin called me Adoni Melchizedek.
If the argument has merit; it has merit on its own, independent of your divine status and multiple mortal lifetimes. Do you agree? How much of your claims are based on scriptural evidence vs. accepting your authority over the data?
The Showbread was psychedelic as well, made from sprouted grains, which causes natural ergot in the bread; it is then baked specifically to kill any poisoning, like the Greeks also did with Kykeon, Egyptians with Blue Lotus, etc, at these times in history we had a direct communication with the Divine.
It's possible. But it's hard to believe without support.
