Where is MSG hidden?

Where is MSG hidden?


MSG can be used (and hidden) in processed food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, personal care products, and drugs. It can be used in waxes applied to fresh fruits and vegetables. It can be used as ingredients in pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and plant growth enhancers -- remaining in the edible portion of the plant or on the edible portion of the plant when its leaves, fruits, nuts, grains, and other edible parts are brought to market.



MSG is shorthand for processed free glutamic acid, i.e., glutamic acid that has been manufactured or freed from protein through processing or bacterial fermentation. It is a toxic substance. It can be used without disclosure.



To understand how MSG can easily be hidden, you must first understand that there are two very distinct ways of manufacturing MSG. The first is through manufacture of a product called "monosodium glutamate." There are a number of ways in which this can be achieved, but the end result will always be a product that contains glutamic acid (glutamate), sodium (salt), moisture, and a number of contaminants. It is important to understand that in "monosodium glutamate," glutamic acid will be the only amino acid present. If there were other amino acids present while the "monosodium glutamate" was being manufactured, they would have been cleaned out. When any product contains 79% free glutamic acid (with the balance being made up of salt, moisture, and up to 1 per cent contaminants), the product is called "monosodium glutamate" by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and must be labeled as such. FDA regulations require that all food ingredients be called by their "common or usual names," and "monosodium glutamate" is the "common or usual name" of the ingredient that contains 79% free glutamic acid (with the balance being made up of salt, moisture, and up to 1 per cent contaminants).



"Monosodium glutamate" was invented in 1908 by Kikunae Ikeda of Tokyo, Japan who noticed that glutamic acid had flavor-enhancing potential. Prior to that time, the Japanese had used seaweed as a favorite flavor enhancer, without understanding that glutamic acid was its flavor-enhancing component.



The second way of producing MSG is through breakdown of protein, i.e., processed free glutamic acid (MSG) is created when protein is either partially or fully broken apart into its constituent amino acids. A protein can be broken into its constituent amino acids in a number of ways (autolysis, hydrolysis, enzymolysis, and/or fermentation). When a protein is subject to autolysis, hydrolysis, enzymolysis, and/or fermentation, the amino acid chains in the protein are broken, and the amino acids are freed. Acids, enzymes, and/or fermentation processes may be used to create MSG in this way.



There are over 40 food ingredients besides "monosodium glutamate" that contain processed free glutamic acid (MSG). Each, according to the FDA, must be called by its own, unique, "common or usual name." "Autolyzed yeast," "maltodextrin," "sodium caseinate," and "soy sauce" are the common or usual names of some ingredients that contain MSG. Unlike the ingredient called "monosodium glutamate," they give the consumer no clue that there is MSG in the ingredient.



The Truth in Labeling Campaign has asked the FDA to require manufacturers to identify ingredients that contain MSG by listing MSG on a product's label. In response, we have been told that FDA regulations require that all food ingredients be called by their "common or usual names," but there is no requirement that a constituent of an ingredient be identified. Processed free glutamic acid (MSG) is considered to be a constituent of a hydrolyzed protein or fermentation product because the MSG is created during the hydrolyzation or fermentation process. To autolyze yeast, for example, yeast is subject to processing; and during that processing, protein is broken down, and glutamic acid is freed. The finished autolyzed yeast product will, therefore, always contain processed free glutamic acid (MSG) as a constituent of the autolyzed yeast. The MSG will not have been poured into the autolyzed yeast. Rather, the MSG will have been processed into the autolyzed yeast.



The distinction between having MSG poured into an ingredient and processed into an ingredient is important because the glutamate industry plays on this distinction in their efforts to hide the presence of MSG. One of their favorite ways of hiding MSG is to claim that there is "no added MSG" in a product. If MSG is processed into a product instead of being poured into a product, they declare that there is "no MSG added" or "no added MSG," in the product, even though they know full well that the product contains MSG.



That the FDA allows these distinctions to be made; that the FDA refuses to monitor those who make false claims about the presence of MSG in a product; that the FDA refers consumers who are concerned about the toxic effects of MSG to agents of the glutamate industry such as The Glutamate Association; and that the FDA refuses to require that MSG in a product be disclosed, testifies to the close ties between the FDA, Ajinomoto, Co., Inc., and the rest of the glutamate industry. It is true that the FDA does not require that the constituents of ingredients be identified. But there is nothing in FDA regulations to prevent constituents of ingredients from being identified. And there is precedent for identifying constituents of ingredients, such as cholesterol.



Although glutamic acid had been isolated in 1866 by the German chemist Karl Ritthausen, it was not until well into the 1900s that food technologists began to break various protein products into individual amino acids and used the processed free glutamic acid (MSG) as a flavor-enhancer. Today, some of those hydrolyzed protein and fermentation products are designed to replace "monosodium glutamate" as a flavor enhancer, because manufacturers know that consumers are looking for products without MSG in them, and that consumers may well not realize that products such as "yeast extract," "autolyzed yeast," and "soy sauce" are nothing more than flavor enhancers that invariably contain MSG.



The flavor enhancer known as "monosodium glutamate" was first brought to the United States in quantity in the late 1940s. Today, processed free glutamic acid (MSG), the toxic ingredient in the food ingredient called "monosodium glutamate," and a toxic ingredient in hydrolyzed protein, enzyme modified, and fermentation products, is found in most processed food. In 1997, MSG was introduced in a plant "growth enhancer" (AuxiGro) to be applied to the soil or sprayed on growing crops. Today, we know of no crop that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has failed to approve for treatment with AuxiGro. People first reported MSG reactions following ingestion of lettuce, strawberries, and giant russet potatoes in 1997 -- people who didn't know at the time that those crops might have been sprayed with a product that contained MSG.



The glutamate industry is adamantly opposed to letting consumers know where MSG is hidden. Why? Because the glutamate industry understands that MSG is a toxic substance: that it causes adverse reactions, brain lesions, endocrine disorders and more. And the glutamate industry must understand, as we do, that if MSG in food, drugs, and cosmetics were disclosed on product labels, people who reacted to those products might realize that it was MSG they were reacting to, and might, therefore, refrain from buying products that contain MSG.



MSG is hidden in ingredients used in processed food. English names of ingredients known to contain and/or produce MSG during manufacture are listed on the following Web page:

E-numbers are numerical designations which have been developed within the European Community (EC) for declaration of foodstuff additives. The list does not include all ingredients that contain MSG. A number of Web pages that give E-numbers are listed on the following Web page:



E-numbers



MSG is being sprayed on growing fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables -- not all, just some. And, yes, there have been reports of MSG reactions to produce.



Using MSG-laced ingredients, MSG can be hidden in:


Infant formula

Baby food

Enteral feeding products (tube feeding products)

Dietary supplements

Medications/drugs

Protein drinks often recommended for seniors

Protein bars and protein powders

Vaccines--including vaccines that are injected into children.

Fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides

Kosher food

Cosmetics

Personal care products

Protein powders sold in health food stores

Food that is labeled "organic."



MSG can be hidden:



In Wine -- Sprayed on wine grapes, including California wine grapes

In food with labels that say "No Added MSG," "No MSG Added," or "No MSG"

In food that is falsely advertised as containing no MSG



In food whose manufacturers claim, in response to questions, that their products contain no MSG



MSG can be hidden by restaurateurs who claim that the food they serve contains no MSG



People who are sensitive to processed free glutamic acid (MSG), or those who simply would choose to avoid ingestion of toxic amino acids, need to know that there are two other neurotoxic amino acids commonly used in food: aspartic acid and L-cysteine. Aspartic acid is found in the sugar substitutes called "neotame" and "aspartame." Aspartame is found in "NutraSweet" and "Equal." L-cysteine is most often found as a dough conditioners.



Following are three web pages that focus in large part on the dangers of aspartame:

Intuition

.







INTUITION



Intuition, the ability to understand something immediately, what one knows from instinctive feelings rather than conscious reasoning and understanding. Intuition is rooted deep within our Spirit. It has saved our lives many times. We are aware of some of the times our intuition saved us. However, I believe that most time we are not aware that we have been saved from anything. I believe that intuition is the Small Still Voice of SPIRIT that speaks Divine Truth and Guidance directly to our Spirit/Higher Self. I also believe that the more we give ourselves to communing with GODDESS-GOD through Prayer and Meditation, the more aware we will become of our intuition, the Small Still Voice of SPIRIT that is always speaking to us deep within the core of our Spirit.



Following our intuition is a real leap of faith, because many times we are the only ones who see and feel the direction SPIRIT is giving us. That causes us to have to step outside of the crowd where we felt there was comfort or companionship and stand all alone. Most of the time when we were in the crowd, the comfort and security was not half as great as we though it was anyway. In reality when we step outside of the crowd we are not standing alone as we may think, we are actually standing in the best company we could ever desire, we are standing in the Divine Company of SPIRIT, and a host of Spiritual Beings, some call them Angels, and others call the Spirit Guides.



Sometimes what we are feeling is not always intuition, because of that, we find ourselves a little off track from time-to-time. Nevertheless, even in a case such as that, SPIRIT and the hosts of Spirit Guides are still with us, helping us see our error, also helping us get back on track, and most of the time we end up in a much better position than we originally in despite the mis-steps and mis-takes we take. Beloved, no matter what we do, as long as it is done in and through the Spirit of Truth, and Pure Unconditional Love, coupled with the Divine Intent to do what is right, we will always end up right where we need to be.



Intuition calls for faith, and faith is the well-grounded assurance of things hoped for, and the evidence and conviction of the reality of things we have not yet seen. To step out in faith is to break loose from the familiar, break loose from that which we think to be firm solid ground, but most of the time is pure illusion. Then we must launch out into the deep, the deep unknown sea of new possibilities and true reality, which is the place where SPIRIT dwells and offers us Abundant Life. We must follow our intuition because it is given to us by SPIRIT, and true SPIRIT given intuition never leads us astray.



“I Break Loose From The Familiar and Launch Out Into The Deep.


Following Our Intuition Is A Real Leap of Faith.
Go on, take the leap it won’t hurt, its a Fantastic Journey.. . . . . .

Sacred Woman

(A Sacred Man's Perspective)

"Well-behaved Women Rarely Make History."

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich


Even Though There May Only Be A Few Men and Women Who
Will Acknowledge It, A Well-behaved Strong Woman Creates
Her-Story and Creates It Well!

Create On My Beauty-Full and Power-Full SiStars!
CREATE ON!

Baba-Kundi Ma'at-Shambhala
Copyright © 1999

Our Beloved women carry the Precious Seeds and the Sacred Hope for the future within them. I honor and bow down to all of the Beauty-Full Strong SACRED WOMEN of the Human Race. That means that I honor and bow down to every single woman of creation, past, present, and all of those who are destined to enter into this physical realm in the future. There never has been and never will be a single woman created that is not Sacred, Strong and Beauty-Full (full of the awe inspiring beauty and grace that no one but a Goddess of Love can possess). However, there are a few of my sisters who need to be reminded of this Divine Eternal Truth. In addition a multitude of my brothers need to be reminded of this Divine Eternal Truth as well. Because understanding this Divine Eternal Truth plays a major role in reconciling the relationship between man and woman, also the conscious restoration of our collective reality of oneness. I am now standing up and speak out clearly and forcefully with Divine Authority and the Unshakable Support and Power that has been given to me by way of the SPIRIT of MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD that dwells within my Spirit. I am formally serving humanity notice here and now of this Divine Reality. Our Most Precious and Beloved Women are Sacred in every sense of the word.

My Beloved Sisters, no matter what your status in life may be, no matter what race you are a part of, no matter what your sexual orientation, and no matter what beliefs you espouse, “You Are Sacred, Strong, Beauty-Full, Grace-Full, and Loving in every way. My Precious Sisters, that is just the tip of the iceberg, just the beginning of your Eternal Glory and Awesome Power. On top of all of that, the Sacred Energy you carry within your Spirit is Heavenly and so Delight-Full to the Whole of Creation. More important than all of that; I know that you are a Delight and a Joy to GREAT SPIRIT, our Eternal Spiritual Parent MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD. SACRED WOMAN, you are the Queen of your surrounding world and you are overflowing with the Sacred Majestic Feminine Glory that originates from deep within the very bosom of GODDESS-GOD. You are the Precious Life Giver and Nurturer of humanity. Because of that Divine reality, I humbly bow down to you and honor you fully from the very core of my being that makes up my Spirit, Soul, Heart, and Mind. You are truly a Goddess of Love.”

All of my Beauty-Full SiStars of Creation, you are pure, dainty, sophisticated, and extremely strong within your Spirit, which is the place where your true identity originates and resides in it's full glory. What is a SiStar? A SiStar is a Beauty-Full Feminine Shining Star of Divinity and Unconditional Love full of the Light of SPIRIT. Your Glorious Radiance is needed in this man made dark and confused environment. All women are SiStars. SiStars are the bearers of Light, you are also the bears of the Seeds of Life, which are the Precious Fruits of the future. My Lovely SiStars, you have been chosen by our one and only Sacred and Most Divine Eternal Parent MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD to carry the Hope of Creation within the Sacred Temple of your Love filled womb. Every single one of you must know and understand that you have been chosen to follow a Divine Sacred Path. You have been given one of the most precious, most important roles ever bestowed upon any human being. My Beloved SiStars, you have been blessed with the greatest gift of all, being a SACRED MOTHER, the sustainer of life. You are the Divine-Bearer and Loving Nurturer of Life. Why have you been honored and blessed by SPIRIT with such great responsibility? You have been honored and blessed with such great responsibility because you were created the most Loving, strong, and sensitive creation in order that you would Love, heal, nurture, and teach every fruit/child that comes forth through you, and remains with you until the day destined for that fruit/child to stand on it’s own. You prepare your children for the day when they move out into the physical world to be strong, trustworthy, caring, nurturing, and Loving, as you taught them to be by the way you lived your life before them, as you sojourn through this sometimes troubled and confused physical realm that we temporarily call home.

SACRED WOMAN, Your Womb Is Heaven, and every human being must enter into this physical realm through the “Gates of Heaven”. Every SACRED WOMAN that has forgotten this Divine Reality is being shaken and awakened to it as we all enter into this Divinely appointed Age of Spiritual Awakening.

My Sacred SiStars, never allow anyone to cause you to feel or believe in any way that you are weak and/or unable to stand toe-to-toe with anyone simply because your gender is that of a female. You must never allow yourself to be mistreated by any egotistical self-righteous man that is grossly overflowing with all of his distasteful male chauvinistic pride and insecurities. False pride and insecurity are two major reasons why most men do what they can to put you and everyone else outside of themselves down. Remind whomever it may be, male or female, that is trying to limit and/or belittle you, that their efforts are in vain. It is Divinely ordained that all human life must pass forth into this physical realm through you, a SACRED WOMAN. Also, inform them, that great honor has been bestowed upon you because you are a Divine Creation of Great Spiritual Character and Divine Spirit-Esteem, which goes far beyond the limits of high self-esteem. Then you must shower them with the Unconditional Love that is a part of your Eternal Sacred Make-up. Educate them further by pointing out the fact that Heaven is to be found within every SACRED WOMAN. GODDESS-GOD created every SACRED WOMAN to be the Heaven that all of humanity must pass through to enter into this dense physical realm of valuable lessons.

My beloved SiStars, it is of the utmost importance that you re-educate whomever it may be that is mis-educated about your Sacredness, and the Sacredness of the Whole of Creation. Educating others is one of your many abilities and responsibilities as a SACRED WOMAN and a SACRED MOTHER. You can start educating them with the elementary lesson that even the word man comes forth from within the word wo-man. Also, educate them on the fact that the word male comes forth from within the word fe-male as well. Is that a coincidence? That is surely not a coincidence, because there is no such thing as coincidences. Divine Order and Divine Law dictates that human life will come forth through you, SACRED WOMAN. Why is it designed that way? It is designed that way because you are created to be the Goddess of Love to humanity and to the world. I open up completely to your Unconditional Love and your Spiritual Wisdom and Insight.

SACRED WOMB-MAN, your womb is our Heavenly Realm. Your womb is the place where human life is conceived, Loved and nurtured. Your womb is also the Divine place where our physical body takes on its form, and we begin the ongoing process of Total Spiritual Re-Call, which is our Spiritual Awakening. Within heaven, which is your womb, is also the Divine place were our temporary physical vessel is implanted with our true nature, our Eternal Spirit of Love.

Every SACRED WOMAN is due the utmost respect. Respect is what you must demand at all times from everyone. You cannot expect or accept anything less than total respect. Every SACRED WOMAN must also be the giver of respect. Beloved SACRED WOMAN, you have the right to demand R-E-S-P-E-C-T from every man, woman, girl and boy. Respect, honor and credit must be given to who respect, honor and credit is due, and that is you. GREAT SPIRIT respects you so much, that you have been given the ultimate honor of all, Life Bearer and Life Giver, which is the Divine Position that only you, a SACRED MOTHER can occupy. The oldest human remains found on Earth Mother were that of a SACRED WOMAN in Africa. Let me remind you of some thing extremely important, I believe that we are all the children of that SACRED WOMAN. Beloved SACRED WOMEN, even if you do not choose to give birth to your own biological child, or for some reason you cannot give birth to your own child, you are still a SACRED MOTHER. Without a single doubt, you still hold the same position of honor and respect as those who give birth, and you must be recognized and honored for being the SACRED MOTHER and Giver of Life that you are. How are you still a giver of life if you do not give birth to a child? You are still a giver of life because there is life in the seed of Unconditional Love that you possess and give so freely. Also because there is life in the words you speak, and there is life in your precious embrace of Love. SACRED WOMEN, no matter what your choices are in life, I bow down to you and I honor all of you equally with everything that is within me. Why do I do this? I do this because you deserve nothing less. Most importantly I do this to honor the perfection of MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD that dwells within you. In addition, I do this because in honoring you, I am honoring myself and all life that come forth through you.

Now the time has come to deal directly and forcefully with all men, me included. Yes, it is our turn my brothers. It is time that we wake up and smell the fragrant roses in our midst. We must realize how blessed we are to have SACRED WOMEN around us and in our lives. We must stop allowing and living the horrendous lie that has been continually perpetuated for thousands of years by us. There is no need, and never has been a legitimate reason to fear and/or suppress our precious SACRED WOMEN as we have done, and continue to do to this very day. If we give Pure Unconditional Love and Respect to our SACRED WOMEN, we will receive Pure Unconditional Love and Respect from them in return, that is the Law of Reciprocity. Loving and respecting our SACRED WOMEN is the only way we can truly be happy and live a fruitful harmonious life together here on Earth Mother. We must get along with each other, that is the Divine Way GREAT SPIRIT designed it to be. We need each other. Yes my brothers, I said that you and I need our SACRED WOMEN. We need them to help us be the men that we say, believe, and know that we are. Being a man is more than just saying I am a man and walking around acting macho; there must be actions to back up and support our words of Love for our SACRED WOMAN.

I cannot speak for any other men however, as for myself, I must and do give Pure Unconditional Love and Unlimited Respect and Support to all of my SiStars because of their Sacredness. I also give the same honor and respect to Earth Mother and the Whole of Creation. Why do I do that? I will tell you why, because every SACRED WOMAN at the very least is due our Pure Unconditional Love, and our complete respect at all times. To be perfectly honest, I must tell you that I also do it because I want to be respected by SACRED WOMEN, and I know that I can only receive freely and unconditionally that which I give freely and unconditionally. Women are the Queens of their surrounding worlds (their surrounding world is their family and immediate surrounding environment), and every Queen demands the utmost respect from those around her. I do not know about you my brothers, but I most certainly want to be in the Divine place that is meant for me, and that Divine place is right beside my Queen, right beside my S WACREDOMAN as the King/SACRED MAN that I am. A King is not fully a King if he is without his Queen. A King is not a King if he does not fully respect his Queen.

My Beloved Brothers, do not even think about getting all carried away with, and big headed over that last statement concerning us being Kings and SACRED MEN. Don't get all puffed up over that, because a King/SACRED MAN stands no taller than the Queen/SACRED WOMAN who is standing by his side. Yes some men are physically stronger than women, however, our physical condition is a temporal condition, and that which is Spiritual is Eternal. I am talking about the Eternal Spiritual SACRED WOMAN. Like it or not, accept it or not, women and men are Spiritual Equals. (period) That is right my brother, I must repeat that so it is sure to sink in. Women and Men Are Spiritual Equals. Having a stronger and bigger physical body means very little, because our physical body is not who we truly are. Neither does the level of education coupled with the numbers of degrees and the amount of money one has defines who we are.

A true relationship between a man and a woman is not the way it is portrayed in most movies and books of the past or today. You know what I am talking about. The King being big, strong, forceful, and powerful and the Queen being petite, beautiful, silent, weak, meek and submissive at all times to her King. Both of them, the Queen/SACRED WOMAN and the King/SACRED MAN have equal Spiritual Stature, equal Spiritual Power, equal Spiritual Authority, and equal Spiritual Abilities. However, we do not get to see many examples of that reality in the world today. You see, the major problem is this. Men have separated the Spiritual which is eternal, from everything else, and builds his faulty kingdoms on the sinking foundation of this temporal physical realm, the physical substance that is sure to rot and give way and collapse. I was told years ago, that at one time in Ancient Egypt they did not construct a statue of a Pharaoh/King without having a statue constructed of his Queen right by his side. I was also told that the statues were constructed in such a way that it was clearly visible for all to see that both the Queen/SACRED WOMAN and the King/SACRED MAN were equal in statue one to the other, side by side. That symbolized the Spiritual Equality between womb-man and that which came out of her, man.

Over the years most of the statues in Egypt were either physically separated, or the statue of the SACRED WOMAN was completely destroyed. Foolish insecure men are the ones responsible for doing that. In addition, did you know that there were women Pharaohs in Egypt? Some men in their illusionary superiority try to keep all-important facts about women hidden from the masses for selfish controlling reasons. One of many ways to steal power from our SACRED WOMAN and all of humanity is to destroy and completely distort the true history/herstory of all of our SACRED WOMEN. Men also vilified women by creating the story of Eve, which tells us that woman is the originator of sin, that she is the first to rebel against GOD, making her responsible for the condition of the world today. It is time that we stop telling his-story with all of the untruths, inconsistencies, and deception, and start telling her-story truthfully. Is it realistic to believe that her-story will be accurately told by men of olden day? In the past man's interpretation of our SACRED WOMAN'S story was full of intentional mistakes, deception, and manufactured distortions, created solely by men to discredit our Beloved SACRED WOMEN. It is way over due for the SACRED WOMAN’S story to be told honestly, completely and accurately. Then all men and women will be seen through the Sacred Light of Absolute Truth, Unconditional Love and Unwavering Compassion. Then, competition between men and women will cease. My brothers, we have been called out to right that which has wrongfully been done to our SACRED WOMEN by us and other men, and also done by some mis-educated and deceived women. Are we going to answer that call and help right all of our wrongs? I am doing that now!

I must make quick mention of a guilty group of people that totally disrespect and dishonor our Beloved SACRED WOMEN, and that is many of the religions of the world. Yes, you heard me right; religion has played a major role in disrespecting and dis-empowering all of our SACRED WOMEN. The Christian religion speaks a lot of repentance. Well, they need to repent and turn away form their wicked ways, and stop their attack on all SACRED WOMEN. How can they see women as being so low when a woman was worthy to give birth to their Jesus, the most honored and respected teacher of their religion? They were so caught up in their religious selfishness, ego, and error of grandeur that they could not accept the teachings of Jesus that showed them that men and women are Spiritual equals, and should be honored as such. As you know, this deception has just about completely permeated every facet of human life. One day the truth about religion is going to be completely revealed to the world and a multitude of people are going to be more than shocked over the revelation.

My Beloved SiStars and Brothers, let us all stand up and take our rightful place beside each other. Those of us, who are starting to wake from our long sleep of ignorance of our oneness must now stand tall and start to guide the rest of humanity back to its original state of Spiritual awareness and existence. I am speaking of our Original Sacred State of Being. The only place that we can dwell in such an awakened state is in Paradise. Paradise is manifested in and through the Divine Energy of Unconditional Love, we can hold and must live by the Divine Energy of Unconditional Love. The Divine Energy of Unconditional Love originates within GREAT SPIRIT, and GREAT SPIRIT dwells within each of us, in our Temple/Spirit. When Unconditional Love is shared freely woman to man, man to woman, and then shared with the Whole of Creation, our eyes are opened wide to the Spiritual realm and we can once again see and enter into our Paradise of Oneness. Within the Divine Energy of Unconditional Love, which is the Essence of Paradise, every need is exposed as the illusion that it is. Divine reality shows us that we are already the eternal possessors of everything that we think we need. All we have to do is respect each other (do unto others as we would have them do unto us) and be still and quite long enough to hear the call that is beckoning us to come. Then consciously we will enter into the Sacred Place where our Spirit and the SPIRIT of our Beloved Parent MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD dwells in Oneness. At that moment, we will see and know the Divine Truth that we all have been in search of our entire lives. We must honor and fully respect each other as the Perfect Spiritual Beings that we are and have always been. We are not the imperfect human beings that we have been told we are. We are Perfect Eternal Spiritual Beings that are traveling through this earthly plane in a physical vehicle that has been labeled male or female. However, our true selves, who is Spirit has no gender, and no physical form. We all must start the very important process of re-education and see ourselves as we truly are.


Each One Reach One!
Each One Teach One !
Each One Love One !


If we do that, we will bring respect and truth back into our every day lives, and we will also bring respect back into our Divinely Ordained Love Relationships. That also means that we will bring respect back into the world, and that respect will eventually change the world and everything in it. It does not matter if it is a sister and brother relationships, a husband and wife relationship, Soul Mates, or any other kind of relationship between two people. It is time that we bring equality and respect back to everyone, and back to Earth Mother. We must and will do away with all of the male chauvinistic attitudes that men have been functioning through for thousands of years. We only put down and belittle each other because of our own personal low self-esteem issues, which is the outward manifestation of the fear of personal inferiority. That is the foundation of racism.

Because I am a man, some may misinterpret my motivation behind this offering of words constructed to honor all SACRED WOMEN, and that is okay. Because the bottom line is this: I Love and honor all SACRED WOMEN, because like everyone else, I entered into this physical realm through Heaven, and Heaven can only be found within a SACRED WOMAN. "I Love You Mom! Thank you for giving birth to me, allowing me to pass through your gates of Heaven. Moreover, Thank You for nurturing me, teaching me, and Loving me as you did so well. I bow down to you Mom, because you are my mother and because you are a SACRED WOMAN."

Along with my mother, there are other SACRED WOMEN in my life. I have a daughter who I Love dearly, and she has blessed me with two grand daughters who I also Love dearly. I grew up in a household of four SACRED WOMEN (mother and three step-sisters). My mother and all three of my sisters taught me a lot about SACRED WOMEN. I have learned to respect, Love, and protect my mother and sisters, not because they could not, and do not protect and take care of themselves, because they most certainly can and do very well. I have learned that they can take care of themselves very well when men are working together with them, and likewise when they have to work on things and hold things together all by themselves. I have grown to understand that I cannot receive all of the blessings from this experience we call life, without working towards being in perfect harmony with all of my Beloved SACRED WOMEN. Yes my brothers, we need SACRED WOMEN because we are eternally one with them through MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD. We need SACRED WOMEN because we are created to be together with them, and dance to the Sacred Rhythms of Life with them. We are all whole within ourselves; we were created that way by GREAT SPIRIT. Our Beloved MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD created us to Unconditionally Love, Respect, and Serve each other in harmony and balance at all times. And I refuse to settle for anything less.

I must share one last thing with you before bringing this to a close. My dear and precious brothers, never forget this Divine Reality. Every man has a certain amount of feminine energy within him. That feminine energy stands right along side of all of that male testosterone, you know, that energy that is sometimes misguided and turns into that masculine macho energy that we focus so much attention and energy on. The feminine energy that I am speaking of that is within us should not be something that causes us to be overly concerned. It is okay my brother; GREAT SPIRIT created us with both masculine and feminine energies for a Divine Purpose. We need booth the feminine energy as well as the masculine energy to consistently be the balanced creation that we are. The equality between the feminine and masculine is already present within our Spirits however; we must consciously recognize that balance within us before we can reap all of the beneficial fruits from that Sacred Tree of Oneness.


Know It, Enjoy It, and Be Free Within It!
Don't Worry, Be Happy!

Always Remember This My Beloved Brothers.

Honor, Respect, and Care For All Women, Because They Are Truly Sacred. On Some Level, That Precious Woman Standing Right Next To You May Hold The Key To Your Spiritual Awakening and Deliverance As She Teaches You How To Fully Open Up To The Divine Unconditional Love of MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD That Resides Within Your Very Spirit.

Love Is The Spirit Within You That Gives Eternal Life and Everlasting Joy.


This is dedicated to:

All of the Sacred Women of the World, Especially My Mother, Daughter, and Granddaughters!

"I LOVE YOU SACRED WOMEN!"



"A Well-behaved Strong Sacred Woman Creates Her-Story and Creates It Extremely Well!"

CREATE ON SACRED WOMEN.
CREATE ON MY SISTARS!
