Mandrake and Jesus

In the BBC documentary about the final days of Jesus, featured in our last post.

It mentions the possibility that he was given a medicinal plant medication called 'Mandrake' for pain relief. The botanist shares that the medication could well have been given to him in the solution of vinegar. As we know modern day people also speak of the benefits of apple vinegar. So it is more than likely that the apple vinegar combined with the mandrake was given to him. Also he could have had some mandrake with him to take, he was a healer and would have known about the medicinal properties of plants, trees and herbs.

In the Gospel of Peace, Teachings of the Elect, book 4, he also mentions the holy scroll of nature to do with the spiritual law and how we are to teach the people how to live by the living pages of Mother nature.

I do not agree with the hypothesis about the skull in the documentary because the Lute of Lovingkindness was not from Jerusalem. He was from Northern Israel and as people they were very different to those in the South. Also the bust found in the ancient site of Gandhara looks spot on.

Even in speech, they spoke a different dialect/pronounciation of Aramaic, probably more aligned with ancient Aramaic found in Syria/Lebanon. The LORD called it SYRIAC. There is also an incredible ancient city in Syria that was built by King Solomon. So clearly, this whole area was once governed by a  King from Israel. Originally, it wasn't a tiny sliver of land like Israel is today.

Also there was a very strong Greek influence in those parts including in Egypt. Hence, it is common sense that some Greek words would have impacted upon the Aramaic spoken in those days. There is also an ancient Coptic Greek text of the Gospel of Thomas in a Cairo museum, and the Egyptian curators say that it is the oldest early Christian manuscript in existence. Older than the 4 gospels that are found in the bible.

However, let us look at the references in the bible that are associated with Mandrake. Apparently, the word mandrake in Hebrew means 'Love plant'. However, Hebrew strongs 01736, states it means 'Love Apple'. Well it does not look like a love apple to me, it looks more like a root vegetable like a parsnip or sweet potato that I like very much. Its root word means 'pot', 'jar', 'basket' or kettle. Strongs 01731 and that goes back to 'dwd', 'Dowd', and it means 'beloved, 'love', 'loved one'. As we know David also means beloved.

That then reminds me of the woman in the basket prophecy from Zechariah and the two different feminine energies that carried the basket. When I was at the gathering in Northern Israel (May 2006) we cooked sweet potato in the fire. As we know it cooks quickly.



The first mention of mandrake is in the book of Genesis chapter 30 and it was Reuben that found the mandrakes. As we know Reuben means 'Behold a Son' and the LORD called out the name to me when I was in staying at the hotel on the hill in Jerusalem. The hotel that was once a Vatican theological college. So when the LORD said Reuben, was he also saying joyously, that I had been taken to the right place? You decide.

There I met an amazing retired head of the Jerusalem Church and he was from Uganda. The light and love poured out from him in this marian place. It also came to me today that the sister of Moses, Miriam also had a skin disease. Is that why the mother of the Lute of Lovingkindness was also given the name Miriam? Is that another reason why her body was covered, why she has so much patience, compassion and mercy for the people. Helping them to love themselves and raise their self-esteem? Is that why she gave the most incredible healing meditation for the people for us to deliver? Or is because it fulfilled another biblical prophecy that we would deliver the meditation for the healing of the people? You decide.

King Solomon is then the next to mention the mandrake, that which was chosen to be included in the bible and the power of healing is to do with the true Sons of God. King Solomon speaks in terms of the fragrance of the mandrakes, and at our door is every delicacy. Both new and old that have stored up for you my beloved. Songs of Solomon 7:13 Prior to that in the chapter King Solomon mentions the pomegranates again, and as we have already shared with you, the pomegranates are to do with the  High Priests. So clearly, the true High Priests are healers that work with medicinal plants and vibrational frequencies. That which can relieve the suffering of the people and help them.

As we know seven is the life number of the spiritual teacher. In Hebrew gematria it is the value of the ZAYIN, that the Rabbi's call the 'Woman of Valor', 13 is also the gematria value of the word love in Hebrew. Hence why wisdom was called in Rev 13 to do the count on the Leopard, the cat Obama.

In the BBC documentary, the botanist states that mandrake impacts on the nervous system so that the person cannot feel any pain. I could certainly do with some of that. In the flower power age it was a drug that was popular with young people. It was known as a 'downer' that they would take it after a night of speeding on what was known as 'speed'. In those days, young people were taking so many uppers and downers that some completely destroyed their nervous system.

I was more of an onlooker than a partaker of what the men were doing to themselves. Although one does not hear young ones speak of mandrake these days. It was the David Bowie 70's and the young were breaking the boundaries; without having access to the science to understand the full implications of what they were doing to themselves.

Education simply did not keep pace with the fast movement of the young when the flower power age kicked in to full swing. They simply were not ready for it, or equipped to deal with it appropriately. Hence the children were really on their own in those days with their new adventure into drugs. One could also view it in terms of the current rebellion that is sweeping the world, there are some people that are just not understanding what is happening or why it is happening. It certainly is a reality check for humanity to get their priorities right with the LORD.

One could say the same with the medical profession, that give people so many drugs to control them. Those that are in positions of power, that laud it over those that are weaker than themselves. Their time is indeed up, the people are taking their power back from the oppressors of humanity. Wherever they can be found. As the LORD said 'It is your openness that wins the day'.

The nervous system as an energetic blueprint that are known as the meridians and the nadi's come off of the meridians. It is emotional blockages that can block the pathways of the meridians and stop the free flow of energy energetically. When that happens then the body cannot operate to his maximum beneficial level. The human body and its energetic blueprint is an intelligent design, you can be sure of that. Hence, why plants were provided to help with the healing process and to release blockages. The more the people understood the plants and the human body, the more people developed healing therapies to help the people to heal.

Modalities that work with the meridians include: Kinesiology, EFT, Shiatsu and Acupuncture. The latter two being the oldest, and some practitioners claim that they can be traced back 5,000 years in the Japanese healing arts.

Hence, why the harp of faithfulness is so important in this timeline of the night time. Being faithful to who we are, our maker who created us to be who we are in integrity of the being.

Have a great partial solar eclipse on the 25th.

Love beyond measure
