Trees are sacred because they helped create this world, because they live on sunlight and soil and give us oxygen to breathe. They are sacred because they regulate the weather, the rain and the water of the earth, and have given of themselves for countless millennia, ages and epochs so that other beings can have food a

Artwork This Dreaming belongs to Warlukurlangu country to the south-west of Yuendumu, for which Jampijinpa/Jangala men and Nampijinpa/Nangala women have custodial responsibility. An old man ‘lungkarda’ (centralian blue-tongued lizard [Tiliqua multifasciata]), of the Jampijinpa skin group, lived on a hill with his two Jangala sons. The old man would feign blindness and send the two boys hunting in search of meat. While they were gone he would hunt and eat anything that he caught before they returned. One day the sons returned with a kangaroo that they had caught after much tracking. Unfortunately the kangaroo was sacred to the ‘lungkarda’, unbeknown to the boys. In his anger the old man decided to punish his sons and the next time they went out, he put his fire stick to the ground and sent a huge bush fire after them which chased them for many miles, at times propelling them through the air. Although the boys beat out the flames, ‘lungkarda's’ special magic kept the fire alive and it re-appeared out of his blue-tongued lizard hole. Exhausted the boys were finally overcome by the flames. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements. Usually sites that are depicted in paintings of this Jukurrpa include Warlukurlangu (a men's cave), Kirrkirrmanu (where the sacred kangaroo was killed), Wayililinypa (where the fire killed the two Jangala sons) and Marnimarnu (a water soakage) where the two Jangalas camped. Artist Vanetta Nampijinpa Hudson was born on 7 April 2001, in Alice Springs Hospital, the closest hospital to Nyirripi, a remote aboriginal community located approximately 430 km north-west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia. She is the daughter of Daphne Napururrla White and Peter Hudson and has two sisters. She is the granddaughter of Ursula Napangardi Hudson and Freda Napaljarri Jurrah. Vanetta went to the local school in Nyirripi before attending Worawa Aboriginal College in Melbourne, Victoria. A private boarding school catering for girls in the middle years of schooling. When she finished schooling she returned to Nyirripi. Vanetta began painting with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal owned and governed art centre located in Yuendumu and Nyirripi, in 2017. She paints her father’s Warlukurlangu Jukurrpa (Fire Dreaming), stories which relate directly to her land, its features and the plants and animals that inhabit it. These stories were passed down to her by her father and his father before him for millennia. She uses pattern and colour to develop a modern interpretation of her traditional culture. When Vanetta is not painting, she likes to play softball or basketball with her friends.

Home of the Kabbalah Society which follows the Toledano Tradition dating back to medieval Spain where the three branches of the Abrahamic revelation met in a civilised cosmopolitan atmosphere, not unlike our own epoch. Here the Kabbalah brought together an esoteric fusion of religion and philosophy. In our time we relate its ancient theories and practices to contemporary psychology, science and art. The Kabbalah Society has groups on all five continents and periodically holds conferences and workshops in different countries.
The Fall of the sacred pure CHRISTOS OIL to the bottom Sacrum of the Spinal Column, caused the MINDSET of Man to lose God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM. This means that the Mindsets, Thoughts, and Logic of Mankind also fell from the Cerebrum (Forebrain) to the lower Cerebellum (Hindbrain). This resulted to the Back-To-Back relationship with God, which closed Man's Spiritual 3rd Eye and the opening of his Physical Eyes to Materialism and Carnality (Genesis 3:6-7). By: LOPE COLUMNA MESSIANIC KABBALIST-PASTOR GENERAL The BRIDE OF CHRIST, MINISTRY OF LIFE MORTALITY MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this MORTAL must put on IMMORTALITY. (1Cor 15:53 KJV) So when… THIS MORTAL SHALL HAVE PUT ON IMMORTALITY, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. (1Cor 15:54 KJV) THE MYSTERY OF "CHRIST IN YOU" NOW, REVEALED! There is that so-called CHRISTOS OIL in the Sacrum that has the Great Potential for supernal Glory => The HOPE OF GLORY OF TRANSFIGURATION and IMMORTALITY (Colossians 1:27-28). To whom God would make known what is the Riches of the Glory of this [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] MYSTERY among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of Glory: (Col 1:27 KJV) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] WISDOM; that we may PRESENT EVERY MAN PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS: (Col 1:28 KJV) The detailed technical/spiritual explanation of the above Scriptures, is as follows: if a Person has the Spirit of the resurrected Christ inside him/her, which means that the CHRISTOS OIL is raised to his/her CEREBRUM, then that Person is now qualified for TRANSFIGURATION. This is because Christ embodied the supernal 12 Tribes of Israel, which are the 12 Attributes of God. Thus, when 12 is squared or multiplied by itself (12 x 12), it resulted to 144. There is a small particular organ in the middle of the Cerebrum called the CLAUSTRUM, which is a thin, irregular, sheet of neurons that is attached to the underside of the neocortex in the center of the brain. For more, go to: The GLORIOUS SINLESS STATUS AND PURPOSE OF MAN (ADAM)... This CLAUSTRUM secretes an OIL, a pure SACRED OIL. In ancient Greece this Holy Oil was known as the CHRISTOS, which is the "CHRIST IN YOU" (Colossians 1:27). From here, we will use the term CHRISTOS OIL when we refer to CHRIST's BLOOD or God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM. The CEREBRUM acts as the "BURNER" or LAMP fueled by this pure sacred OIL. The "COMBUSTION" or "FIRING" of this sacred oil in the "Cerebrum Burner" produces the LIGHT or the IMMORTAL LIFE that illuminates the entire self (Mind and Body) of Adam. This is the Pure and Illuminated High Stature of Adam before his Sin and the FALL of Mankind. In other words, when this secret Sacred Christos Oil is raised and dwells in the Cerebrum; its vibrations increased tremendously, causing all the millions of cells and neurons in the Human Brain to be activated. These cells and neurons are also multiplied 1,000 TIMES as compared to the present fallen status of the skin-covered human body. In this sublime condition, both the Mind of God and the Mind of Man agree and meet in the same level and Place => In the CEREBRUM (Heaven) of the Human Brain. This is the reason why the Creator God brought all the created Animals to Adam; for Adam to give names to the Animals. And whatever Name Adam gave to each and every animal, God agreed and accept the Man-Given Name (Genesis 2:19). And the BLOOD that circulates in all the Body Systems is clean and pure; having the Breathe of Life (Neshamah Soul). And since the Human Body is powered and controlled by the Brain, all the cells of Adam's Body also illuminate! Thus, Adam's Body is in the Immortal state and composed of LIGHT, as fueled by this pure Christos Oil. This Sacred "CHRISTOS OIL," which stays in the CEREBRUM is responsible for making ADAM an IMMORTAL BEING. For more explanations, go to: How The BLOOD OF CHRIST (Christos Oil) Purifies The Blood of A Faithful Person. Then, That MORTAL Person is Transformed To Put On IMMORTALITY! This is the Pure and Illuminated High Stature of ADAM before his Sin and the FALL OF MANKIND. The FALL OF THE CHRISTOS OIL FROM THE CEREBRUM TO THE SACRUM When Adam ate from the impure TREE OF KNOWLEDGE of GOOD & EVIL, the BLOOD of Adam became IMPURE. Then, the pure NESHAMA (Breath of Life) left and was lost. And the pure Christos Oil fell down and took a journey down the central nervous system (through the SPINAL COLUMN), and ultimately to the SACRUM => The large, triangular bone at the base of the spine. In the spiritual plane, this means that the Christos Oil fell down from Heaven to Earth. This caused a BIG DIFFERENCE and WIDE GAP between God and Man because of sin (Isaiah 55:8-9). In this low Place (EARTH = Malchut), the sacred Christos Oil, which is the "CHRIST IN YOU," does not burn. It lies dormant and hidden => Becoming a MYSTERY. This is because the Power to raise it, which is God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM is not yet available, making it also a MYSTERY (Colossians 1:27). The Fall of the sacred pure CHRISTOS OIL to the bottom Sacrum of the Spinal Column, caused the MINDSET of Man to lose God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM. This means that the Mindsets, Thoughts, and Logic of Mankind also fell from the Cerebrum (Forebrain) to the lower Cerebellum (Hindbrain). This resulted to the Back-To-Back relationship with God, which closed Man's Spiritual 3rd Eye and the opening of his Physical Eyes to Materialism and Carnality (Genesis 3:6-7). ØYOUR MINDSET MUST BE PURIFIED AND ELEVATED TO YOUR CEREBRUM (Forehead) Whoever is part of the genuine BRIDE OF CHRIST (ZOT) must be purified and elevated to the High (Heavenly) Stature of the BRIDEGROOM (Christ). Christ Jesus is the ISRAEL OF HEAVEN above, and He embodied the 12 Tribes of Israel here on Earth below. These 2 Israels (above and below) must merge to fulfill the WILL OF GOD THE FATHER. The 2nd Coming or Return of Christ is primarily to consummate His Marriage to His BRIDE. Thus, those who want to be included in the genuine BRIDE OF CHRIST must be purified and elevated to the Heavenly Thoughts or Mindset of Christ (Philippians 2:5, Isaiah 55:7-9). And the Mindset of Christ dwells in the Cerebrum of the Human Body counterpart. The TRANSFORMATION (Purification and Elevation) PROCESS corresponds to the Elevation (Revelation) of the Fallen (Hidden) Christos Oil from the Sacrum to the Cerebrum in the Forehead. This Transformation is done with the Help and Guidance of the Holy Spirit and Christ Himself, who was made God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM, which is our Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption (1Corinthians 1:30). But of Him YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE TO US [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] WISDOM and RIGHTEOUSNESS and SANCTIFICATION and REDEMPTION; (1Cor 1:30 MKJV) THE PROCESS OF ELEVATION OF THE CHRISTOS OIL TO THE CEREBRUM PREPARES AND MAKES READY GOD'S PEOPLE FOR THE RETURN OF CHRIST! MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM is the only WAY to elevate and restore the CHRISTOS OIL in the CEREBRUM in the Forehead. So, now, in the Fallen Status of Mankind, everyone should strive to ascend and restore that lost supernal Glory of Man by elevating the Fallen Christos Oil (God's hidden Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom) from one's Sacrum to one's CEREBRUM!
