(Power In Words/In The Name)

        I "spoke"​ (wrote) on this in another [thing] somewhere-- can't remember where, but here we are again. I'm thinking it was in the Jesus, Christ, Yeshua, and YOU thing. Meh, here we are here and now, and I already started it, so let's get into it... but if you've read that, some of that is here, but since this is more focused on this point (The power of words and names) then this one is more detailed. I'll try to keep it short. I know few people have their own minds now, and even less have control of that, or can focus.

​

         So, there's this song, "There is power, power, wonder working power in the blood... of the lamb..." that I used to sing as something else, because Pow'r, as they would sing it, rhymes with someone's name, so i would laugh and sing that with the same delight as kids singing "Jingle bells, Batman smells..." in church. Yeah, even as a teenager, it was just that funny to me. Later on, i noticed that people would pray really hard and say, "In the name of Jesus," but I remembered (again around teenage years) after having done a little drinking, and even seen a few things, that some folks smelled like booze, or would even do "normal stuff" (watching the game, having a few drinks, smoking, fights, "cursing"...) -- regular everyday stuff. Also, it didn't click as far as a connection, but later on it did, but how in THE EXORCIST, the go to phrase (other than vomiting with your head spinning, or walking up stairs on your hands) was "The Power of CHRIST Compels You!!" I laughed like, "Hmm... maybe the regular people are using the wrong name. They keep going back to the same stuff." So... yeah, there's power in the name, and in words.... which is why this Samurai Ruach project is so heavy on "KNOW THE WORD."

​

         What KNOW THE WORD is about is how BEING works, especially since you are a conscious being. I'll refer to the black and white picture (sigh) that I'll find and now put here below so you can see what I'm talking about. I sighed in real life typing this because every time I think I'm just going to get this done right quick because living has a great deal of time, mind and resources to suck out of me, pissing me off, distracting me, that "has to get done" (like spending time with people who don't spend time with you because they need help, being in evil spaces to do "good work" which will erase when you leave, calling people to check on work for money that goes to bills of things I don't even use or care about, and all of the other normal "life" b.s.)... For you, you just see a picture below this text. For me, I have to find the image on a really slow lagging computer, create (just talking about it is frustrating)--- I have to do a bunch of website building stuff.... to add the picture. That's the short version. I have a life that does not cooperate (sigh... power in words) I have a life that cooperates but can be frustrating at times in the past.... but I'm being positive now (you can just feel my teeth gritting)... and things are "better".... so here's the picture for you....​

         Just so you know, the part about caregiving with my aunt-- she's 104, dementia, bedridden. So hours later, I'm back. She's up talking to her people she talks to about the people on the movie I put on for her which is a musical, and has kids in it, so that's like 2/5 things that keeps her attention. But yeah, hours gone. Hopefully she doesn't flip her food table over because she does that. "But you're being a blessing! Rewards in heaaaveeennnn...." Some of us don't care about that.
