Hygenic laws established in Leviticus to preserve health and dietary well being during a time when there wasn't fresh water and food storage/refrigeration and sewage/sanitation availability. It was to preserve Jewish life, health and well being.
Christendom attached itself to the notion.
Hi Mae Mae. I know that your are no stranger to a Menorah.
There is what is know as a belief in 'Supersessionism" among a grate many of the Christian sects.
Also from what I've got via info these past 12 years is very interesting.
Trevor Ravenscroft said that the 'Parsival' would return in time for the 'Millennium'. The reincarnation he believed to be the greater of the two possibilities...the other of a occult/knowledge of 'Templar' matters [real Templars..not this NWO stuff.] The original Parsival would be 1200 years before the present one is born as Venus makes all 72 possible pentagrams in conj. with the Sun every 1200 years. [FYI....I'm condensing all of Trevor's info from his book : "The Cup of Destiny"..here, ..] The original Parsival was one of the later Round Table knights that, whom, along with two other knights of the 2nd generation, Sir Galahad [Son of Lancelot] and Sir Tors went off to fingd 'The Holy Grail". There are many legends of this. Wagner wrote an Opera about it. When i met my friend and fellow yogi, Suryakant, in 2003 he told me of his life ling obsession with Parsival and that a great clairvoyant had told him as a young man to get the Opera by Wagner and listen to it and read one of the accounts [i forget which one]...and Suryakant, whom is an American of Norwegian ancestry, born in the Dakotas back in the 40s , became a teacher, [one of the first] of Transcendental meditation for the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi whom himself had become a disciple and assistant of Swami Brahmananda in 1955.
Suryakant was in this area of Northern Calif. in 1979...I was here [American River area] and in Truckee that year.
The Sri Dhyanyogi Madhusudandas - [Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhyanyogi_MadhusudandasShri Dhyanyogi Madhusudandas ] was here that winter at around 101 years old and at a local Christian church about a block and a half from where I presently live.
He took Suryakant as a disciple then and into to the Mahakundalini Order of Yoga of India and gave him the name 'Suryakant'. It means 'Ray of the Sun' in Sanskrit.
Parsival was known as th 'Knight of the Sun, Knight of the Sword, Knight of the Word and he whom reads the 'Starry Script' ". His new guru told him to get into this Parsival thing and Suryakant loaned me the book by Trevor Ravenscroft about 10 days after i moved into a new place on the River having got out of the old hotel in Folsom Suryakant and i had been both living on different floors and met 4 years earlier.
He had underlined all the things in the book [for his own ref.] and notated on the margins similarities between his life and that of Parsival.
What I learned is that the legend of the Arthurians and the Templars and the Grail are because of Joseph of Arimathea and James, Yeshuas' uncle and brother went to the are of present day Glastonbury and settled . Joseph had supposedly been a merchant trader and went to the area of Britain to trade with the tin mines. [and some legends say Yeshua went with his uncle on a trip or two as a boy.] They had relations ..or took wives, whatever, there was progeny. This progeny grew [and after two thousand years God only knows how big and where on Earth all of them are as you know them English Sailors.
Parsival is of this bloodline and is so supposedly the one that returns.
I have since found out there are a couple of accounts all the knight s were..so was Arthur. [Glastonbury Hill, read the History and Legends about it. The legend it was 'Avalon'...Joseph and James established the first Church of the Christ...in 42 AD predating that of Romes. The Vatican did finally admit it predates theirs only a few years ago. It didn't get much media here in the States.]
Think about it the were 12 knights and 12 disciples. At the Round table there was an empty chair. That now one was ever allowed to sit in. Just like the Chair of Elijah...you know about that chair that must be at the Brit Milah - The Covenant of Circumcision (Bris). The Round Table had one of those chairs and no one was allowed to sit in it. It was reserved for Judas.
One legend has it; That is until one day Parsival showed up and sat in it. Another legend says it was Galahad.
All of these boys are now supposedly reincarnate and born as progeny of Joseph and James. Marys brother and her son, Yeshuas' brother.
This is the bloodline of ben David. Ravencroft says that this Bloodline is particularly affected by Astrology.
I asked Clarisse [my clairvoyant friend...who is so f'n good at 'seeing' what was] and she said all this was true [although I didn't get to the part about all of the Arthurians as she and i were talking about Parsival, and I hadn't given it much thought yet anyways] I asked her wouldn' hat all have to come down through the mothers lineage as to Hebraic law only recognizing the maternal lineage. She said; "It's in the DNA".
So, made sense to me. I so if the DNA is affected regardless of lineage than yeah, Joseph and James progeny has got it going on and that the Blood of the House of David runs in the blood of many a Brit today [and Scot, and Irish, and Welsh, and the Cornish and ...you get the picture]
I then I since found out about that the 'oral suction issue that the Hassidic won't budge on and said at the web site above the this is not part of the"Rite' that the Covenant must maintain but rather a foot note as to procedural that can be done other ways. It was a way of insuring a medical necessity be performed rather than ignored . Some remote communities of Jews, a few thousand years ago, lived in very remote communities and you couldn't guarantee that there was anyone learned in medical practice.
Well I also found out since Clarisses' revelation is that the 'maternal lineage only law' is based on that a judge of bloodline could never be absolutely sure whom the father was but they could be of the mother. [And unfortunately ...I guess it kind of eliminated some of the faiths best applicants for membership but integrity had to be maintained.
So, I believe this covenant is in the 'Blood'.
