The Economy of Grace Within Rational/Spiritual Man

Why Are the Biological Scientific Mysteries Hidden in Scripture Important

Between 1979 and 1984, Pope St. John Paul II delivered a series of Wednesday audiences that eventually became known as the Theology of the Body (TOB) [all emphasis SML]. This profound teaching offered what St. John Paul called an “adequate anthropology” [i.e., scientific explanation of humanity] — an examination of what it means to be human, made in God’s image and likeness, and how that reality is made visible through the human body, giving a Sacramental View of Reality.

Of all the strengths of God’s creation, Man’s is most profound, made in a wondrous way with great glory from the dust of the earth and so entangled with the strengths of the rest of creation that he can never be separated from them;* for the elements of the world, created for Man’s service, wait on him, and Man, enthroned as it were in their midst, by divine disposition presides over them, as David says, inspired by Me [God]:

“Thou hast crowned him with glory and worship, and given him dominion over all the works of Thy hands” [Psalms 8:6–7]. Which is to say: You, O God, Who have marvellously [sic] made all things, have crowned Man with the gold and purple crown of intellect and with the sublime garment [Flesh] of visible beauty, thus placing him like a prince above the height of Your perfect works, which You have distributed justly and rightly among Your creatures. Before all Your other creatures You have conferred on Man great and wonderful dignities.[3]

Introduction to the Biological Mysteries Hidden in The Science & Theology of Salt* in Scripture:

Thomas Aquinas affirms that we cannot love what we do not know [emphasis SML], and that when we grow in understanding of God, we can also grow in love for Him, precisely because we begin to understand more deeply who God is. There is no opposition between intellectual understanding and our emotions [SML] or intuitions, but we need intellectual analysis to test our initial intuitions, and to give structure to our emotional life. In fact, over time, it is the search for the truth that does the most to steady the internal development of the human person, and this search is most noble in the person. There is a prevalent suspicion in our culture today that having strong truth convictions will make a person unloving or unjust. Seeking the truth in the right way, however, is not only not opposed to being loving or just, but something they presuppose. Growth in spiritual love perfects or completes the human person but it presumes and is aided by truth. As we become more realistic, we are able to love more realistically.[5]

Man Was Made to Communicate Grace

1)      Jesus tells St. Faustina, “I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls.”[7]

2)     In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells us, “If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart [believer’s heart in this passage would correspond to Jesus saying “approaches with trust” in his conversation with Faustina] shall flow rivers of living water’ ” (Jn 7:37-38). This living water is the grace of the Holy Spirit, a river flowing out from the believer’s heart. Additionally, St. Paul writes, “Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear.” (Eph 4:29-30); and

3)     St. Paul wrote, “For it is the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us” (2 Cor. 4:6-7). Fulton Sheen viewed himself entirely as an earthen vessel [our clay bodies] that he titled his autobiography Treasure in Clay. In Sheen’s book, The Mystical Body of Christ, he wrote, “The graces of God are communicated through ‘frail vessels [SML].’ ”[8] Its members were small; its organs were in the process of formation.”[9] This communication of grace is why the Church is considered the “Prolongation of the Incarnation [of Jesus] through space and time.”[10]

4)     According to JPII, just as a sacrament is an outward sign of an inward (and unseen) reality of grace, the body itself enters into the “definition of a sacrament” (loosely speaking). This interpretation is so because it is a visible sign of an invisible reality. Not only is the body a sign of grace received, but it also visibly expresses what it has received (not possible without the body) and does so efficaciously for self and others. Furthermore, the body expresses grace and produces it, as we shall see later. Thus, the body contributes to grace becoming part of man. [10-11]

Summary of the Economy of Grace within Rational/Spiritual Man

Sometimes the soul is distinguished from the spirit: St. Paul for instance prays that God may sanctify his people ‘wholly’, with ‘spirit and soul and body’ kept sound and blameless at the Lord’s coming [1 Thess 5:23]. The Church teaches that this distinction does not introduce a duality [SML] into the soul [cf. Council of Constantinople IV (870): DS 657]. ‘Spirit’ signifies that from creation, man is ordered to a supernatural end and that his soul can gratuitously be raised beyond all it deserves to communion with God [cf. Vatican Council I, Dei Filius: DS 3005; Gaudium et Spes 22 § 5; Humani Generis: DS 3891].[12]

The body, in fact, and it alone is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and divine. It was created to transfer into the visible reality of the world, the mystery hidden since time immemorial in God.[13]

The body speaks not merely with the whole external expression of masculinity and femininity, but also with the internal structures of the organism, of the somatic [the entire body and its aggregate parts] and psychosomatic [relating to mind/mental] reaction.[14]

– The visible movements of the body that others can experience through the five senses;

– The meta-sense-able elements of the human voice;

– The various energetic, communicative properties of the living human heart;

– Sound waves;

– Structured Biological Water;

– The biological movement of electrons and protons within and around the body; and,

– The energy of created light

Preface to the Biological Mysteries: The Connotations of our DNA

Dust:

Stone:

Salt:

1). In Psalms, we read, “He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground, a fruitful land [a metaphor for our pre-fallen bodies] into a salty waste [a metaphor for our salt of DNA after Original Sin, and the subsequent loss of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit], because of the wickedness of its inhabitants” (Ps 107:33-34).

2). In Deuteronomy, we read, “[S]ee the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the Lord has made it sick—the whole land brimstone and salt, and a burnt-out waste, unsown, and growing nothing, where no grass can sprout” (Deut 29:22-23).

3). In Jeremiah, we read, “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land” (Jer 17:5-6).

1). 2 Kgs 2:20-21: “He said, ‘Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it.’ So they brought it to him. Then he went to the spring of water and threw salt in it, and said, ‘Thus says the Lord, I have made this water wholesome; henceforth neither death nor miscarriage shall come from it.’”

2). Ez 47:9: “And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.”

3). Mt 5:13: “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men.”

4). Mk 9:50: “Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

1). Salt is used as a preservative. Therefore, it is a sign of an eternal covenant with God. It is a sign of eternal life;

2). Salt is a spice that adds flavor to our food. Therefore, it is a sign that our works must be joyful and filled with truth, not dull, and;

3). Since salt was a valuable commodity in Old Covenant days, it was a sign that the Messiah did not want to pay a high price for salt with no flavor, i.e., tepid/lukewarm.

1). Salt certainly didn’t preserve the life of Idit. On the contrary, it was a component (symbolically and literally) of her death as a direct result of her disobedience to God’s command;

2). Salt certainly wasn’t a sign of life for the Salt Sea (aka the Dead Sea). To drink from it was to die. It was utterly devoid of all life and fruitfulness and;

3). When Abimelech conquered Shechem and all its inhabitants, he sowed the city with salt (Jdg 9:45) to make it a wasteland, as was the land of brimstone and salt described in Deuteronomy (Deut 29:22-23). So again, salt is often a sign of death and barrenness in Scripture.

Salt and the Sea:

Rock:

Moreover, sin is committed by someone whom God regards as his beloved son or child. “I am a father to Israel, Ephraim is my firstborn” (Jer 31:9). 67 [sic] Sinners are “children who refuse to listen” (Is 30:9); “their hearts are far from” God (Is 29:13); indeed sinners hide from the Lord (Is 29:15); they rebel against and desert God (Hos 7:13; Dan 3:29–30). They are “unmindful of the Rock that begot” [emphasis SML] them; they “forg[e]t the God who gave [them] birth” (Deut 32:18; cf. v.20). “Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth, for the LORD speaks: Sons I have raised and reared, but they have rebelled against me! . . . They have forsaken the LORD, spurned the Holy One of Israel” (Is 1:2, 4; cf. Hos 8:3).[28]

List of The Thirty-Four Biological Mysteries Hidden in the Bible

Biological Mystery #1

Man is made from dust; DNA IS the dust of the earth

The rocks you see around you—the mountains, canyons & riverbeds, are all made of minerals. A rock is made up of two or more minerals [SML]. Think of a chocolate chip cookie as a rock. The cookie is made of flour, butter, sugar & chocolate. The cookie is like a rock, and the flour, butter, sugar & chocolate are like minerals. You need minerals to make rocks, but you don’t need rocks to make minerals. All rocks are made of minerals.[29]

1. A naturally occurring inorganic solid,

2. A definite chemical composition and,

3. A crystalline structure.

Biological Mystery #2

In addition to dust, DNA is also an organic salt

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place; and I did not know it.” And he was afraid, and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”

So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone which he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. He called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of the city was Luz at the first (Gen. 28:16-19).

Biological Mystery #3

In Scripture, the Sea is a Direct Reference to the Genetic Function of Fallen Man’s DNA

Biological Mystery #4

Each Molecule of DNA is About the Same Size as the Geo-dust in Clay

Biological Mystery #5

DNA, When Present Along with Structured Biological Water, Is Moldable—Like Clay

— Isaiah 64:8: Yet, O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou art our potter; we are all the work of thy hand.

— Jeremiah 18:4: And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.

— John 9:5-7: “ ‘As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’ As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man’s eyes with the clay, saying to him, ‘Go, wash in the pool of Silo′am’ ” (which means Sent).

— Through the pool of Silo′am, which symbolizes the purification of Baptism through which we become members of the Mystical Body of Christ;

— Which prepares us for our marriage to Jesus on the Cross at Mass;

— Through the dust of the earth with which Jesus made healing clay/mud, representing the salt of his DNA (recall that the salt of DNA and the dust of the earth are the same things), through which we become living stones built into the resurrected/rebuilt Temple (1 Pt. 2:5), and;

— Through the spit from Jesus’ mouth, he made the dust into clay/mud (cf. 2 Cor. 4:1-7; Rom. 9:21), which represents the structured biological water (including the biological water present in his blood) that works in conjunction with his salt of DNA to express the Light of Truth in the Holy Desire of the Holy Spirit.

1. Dust is even finer than silt, i.e., 2 microns or less (aka micrometer; two-thousandths of a millimeter).[42] Considering the size of our DNA (the nuclear volume of an entire sperm cell containing an entire DNA molecule is only about 30 microns[43]).

2. Water.

This openly shows that, of all the strengths of God’s creation, Man’s is most profound, made in a wondrous way with great glory from the dust of the earth and so entangled with the strengths of the rest of creation that he can never be separated from them; for the elements of the world, created for Man’s service, wait on him, and Man, enthroned as it were in their midst, by divine disposition presides over them, as David says, inspired by Me [God]:

“Thou hast crowned him with glory and worship, and given him dominion over all the works of Thy hands” [Psalms 8:6–7]. Which is to say: You, O God, Who have marvellously [sic] made all things, have crowned Man with the gold and purple crown of intellect and with the sublime garment [Flesh] of visible beauty, thus placing him like a prince above the height of Your perfect works, which You have distributed justly and rightly among Your creatures. Before all Your other creatures You have conferred on Man great and wonderful dignities.[45]

Biological Mystery #6

The Science of Elemental Sulfur and Lot’s Wife

Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomor′rah brimstone [molten sulfur] and fire from the Lord out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But Lot’s wife behind him looked back, and she became a pillar of salt (Gen. 19: 24-26).

A). “Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin” (John 8:34).

B). “You who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed” (Rom 6:17).

C). “I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate” (Rom 7:15).

1) sweet, but deadly, poison, i.e., hormones;[48]

2) shameful and turbulent acts, thus increasing the body’s appetite for those very crimes carried in the blood, i.e., slavery to sin;[49] and,

3) impure filth which changed Adam’s blood into a liquid of pollution.[50]

Biological Mystery #8

The Epigenome: Biological Software for Programming Our Genome

Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the rods. He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the runnels, that is, the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink, the flocks bred in front of the rods and so the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted. And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own droves apart, and did not put them with Laban’s flock. Whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding Jacob laid the rods in the runnels before the eyes of the flock, that they might breed among the rods, but for the feebler of the flock he did not lay them there; so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s. (Gen. 30:37-42).

The Holocaust left its visible and invisible marks not only on the survivors, but also on their children. Instead of numbers tattooed on their forearms, however, they may have been marked epigenetically with a chemical coating upon their chromosomes, which would represent a kind of biological memory of what the parents experienced. as a result, some suffer from a general vulnerability to stress while others are more resilient. Previous research assumed that such transmission was caused by environmental factors, such as the parents' childrearing behavior. New research, however, indicates that these transgenerational effects may have been also (epi) genetically transmitted to their children.[57]

Biological Mystery #9

The Triggers for Epigenetic Reprogramming

1. Food and drink;

2. Repeated behaviors that trigger fight, flight, or stress hormones such as norepinephrine, epinephrine, adrenaline, and cortisol;

3. Repeated behaviors that result in the production of reward hormones/neurotransmitters such as dopamine (often associated with addictions), oxytocin, endorphins, and serotonin;

4. Repeated behaviors that feed the three lusts described by St. Paul—i.e., the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life (1 Jn 2:16). Typically, behaviors of this nature are also closely involved with numbers 2 and 3 above;

5. Traumatic experiences with parents, loved ones, and/or others;

6. Experiences that result in unhealthy and/or chronic levels of fear;

7. Both electromagnetic energy (i.e., light) and soundwaves,” and;

8. Environmental factors.

·   “For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died [SML]” (1 Cor 11:29-30). It sounds like some serious physical consequences for the sin of unworthily receiving our Lord in the Eucharist.

·   “For thy arrows have sunk into me, and thy hand has come down on me. There is no soundness in my flesh [SML] because of thy indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin” (Ps 38:2-3).

Now, look at some passages indicating the positive physical effects of obeying God’s laws. We read:

·   “My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare will they give you” (Prov 3:1-2);

·   “Be not wise [prideful] in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones” (Prov 3:7-8).

·   According to Dr. Herbert Benson, many physical ailments are linked to stress, heart attacks, severe headaches, back problems, and depression, to name a few. Therefore, methods employed to induce relaxation help to counteract stress and its resultant physical dysfunction. He cites reciting the rosary as a perfect way to accomplish this goal.[68]

·   According to recent research, forgiveness is a virtue that leads to very positive physical consequences. For example, becoming a forgiving person can lead to: A) a drop in the production of the stress hormone cortisol; B) a strengthening of the immune system; C) a reduction of back and stomach problems; and D) a reduction in the hormones that contribute to anger, depression, and many other negative emotions.[69]

Biological Mystery #12

Biologically Generated Electromagnetic Energy (Light) Significantly Impacts Cell Function

Biological Mystery #13

Jesus Shows Us That the Human Heart Produces a Profound Impact on the Body and Spiritual Soul

A). Through the vagus nerve (see BioMystery#16), the heart sends more information to the brain than it receives, indicating the heart, in many (if not most) instances, is informing the brain what to think and accomplish;

B). The heart possesses its own little brain, for lack of a better word, which is independent of the cranial brain[83] containing approximately 14,000 neurons.[84]

C). The heart materially affects the epigenome, including the stem cells within the ribs;

D). One of the means by which the heart communicates to the entire body is through pulse waves generated by the beating heart. It transmits hormonal information to the brain,[85] and;

E). The heart has been classified as an endocrine gland. It produces its own hormones.[86] Considering that the heart sends (via the vagus nerve) more information to the brain than it receives, it seems the heart is actually telling the brain how to react emotionally.

The [biological] heart is the life and structure of our entire organism. It contains the whole body. Within it, our thoughts are arranged, and our will [one of the upper powers of the spirit within the spiritual soul—SML] is brought to maturity.[87]

1). John wrote:

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, “If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (Jn 7:37-39).

2). In Proverbs, we read: “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life” (Prov 4:23).

3). “You brood of vipers! How can you speak good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Mt 12:34).

4). Mark writes: “For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly” (Mk 7:21-22). Remember, the Language of the Body will, and must, change to accurately reflect the overflow of the human spirit.

Biological Mystery #14

The Science Behind Our Being Salt and Light

This revelation arrived as something more than mere “information.” The experience of the Trinitarian God was decidedly new. The eternal Word had “pitched his tent” among His people; that’s the literal meaning of the Greek in John 1:14. And, as if that were not close enough, He promised that they would share His life in a still deeper way. He would “abide” in them, and they would abide in Him (15:4-10). They would be “filled” with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4; 4:8; 6:3; 6:5; 7:55; 13:52).[90]

1). “When God created Adam, divine radiance surrounded the clay substance of which he was formed;”[91]

2). “Before Adam and Eve had transgressed against the divine commandment, they had been shining with splendor like the sun, and that light formed their clothing. After the transgression against the divine commandment, they were no longer shining like they had been before. ... It [creation] too lost its equilibrium and fell into unrest;”[92]

3). “Although his person [Adam] was more like to flesh than to spirit, yet he was dazzlingly white;”[93][94] and,

4). “[Adam and Eve] were like two unspeakably noble and beautiful children, perfectly luminous, and clothed with beams of light as with a veil. From Adam’s mouth I saw issuing a broad stream of glittering light, and upon his forehead an expression of great majesty. Around his mouth played a sunbeam, but there was none around Eve’s. I saw Adam’s heart very much the same as in the men of the present day, but his breast was surrounded by rays of light [emphasis SML]. In the middle of his heart, I saw a sparkling halo of glory. In it was a tiny figure as if holding something in its hand. I think it symbolized the Third Person [the Holy Spirit] of the Godhead.”[95][96]

As the rays of the sun penetrate, without breaking, or injuring in the least, the solid substance of glass; after a similar, I say, but more exalted manner, did Jesus Christ come forth from his mother’s womb, without any injury to her maternal virginity, which, immaculate and perpetual, we celebrate with most just praises. This was the work of the Holy Ghost, who, in the conception and birth of the Son, so favoured the Virgin Mother, as to impart to her fecundity, and yet preserve her perpetual virginity.[98]

And while she thus stood in prayer, I beheld her Child move in her womb, and at once in a moment, and in the twinkling of an eye, she brought forth her Son, from whom such ineffable light and splendor radiated, that the sun could not be compared to it; nor did the torch which the old man had set, in any manner give light, because that divine splendor had totally annihilated the material splendor of the torch …. I immediately beheld that glorious Babe lying naked and most pure on the ground, His flesh most clean from all filth or impurity.”[99][100][101]

Biological Mystery #15

The Science of the Overflow of the Spiritual Heart

1). Psalm 73:6-8: “Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment. Their eyes swell out with fatness, their hearts overflow with follies. They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression.”

2). Matthew 12:34: “You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”

3). Luke 6:45: “The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”

Matthew 6:21: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

Matthew 12:35: “The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.”

Luke 6:45: “The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”

Luke 12:34: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

Biological Mystery #16

The Human Heart: The Largest Generator of Material Light in the Body

“[Jesus] has loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation [Cf. Jn 19:34],” is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that … love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings” without exception [Pius XII, encyclical, Haurietis aquas (1956): DS 3924; cf. DS 3812.].[107]

The [biological] heart is the life and structure of our entire organism. It contains the whole body. Within it, our thoughts are arranged, and our will [one of the upper powers of the spirit within the spiritual soul—SML] is brought to maturity.”[110]

1.       Neurologically (using the nervous system);[112]

2.      Biochemically (e.g., hormones);

3.      Energetically (e.g., electromagnetic energy); and,

4.      Biophysically, e.g., pulse waves[113] and soundwaves[114].

Biological Mystery #17

Mary’s One-Flesh Relationship with Her Divine Son

No part of Jesus’ body could ever be subject to cell death and decay. During Christ’s period in the tomb, his divine person continued to assume both his soul and his body, although they were separated from each other by death. For this reason the dead Christ’s body “saw no corruption” (Acts 13:37).[137]

And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy” (Lk 1:41-44).

Biological Mystery #18

The Role of Spiritual Faith in the Science of Human Biology

The body speaks not merely with the whole external expression of masculinity and femininity, but also with the internal structures of the organism, of the somatic [the entire body and its aggregate parts] and psychosomatic [relating to the mind/mental] reaction.[155]

More About Adam’s Rib: Bones Are Some of the Most Dynamic Organs in the Body

So Eli′sha died, and they buried him. Now bands of Moabites used to invade the land in the spring of the year. And as a man was being buried, lo, a marauding band was seen and the man was cast into the grave of Eli′sha; and as soon as the [dead] man touched the bones of Eli′sha, he revived, and stood on his feet (2 Kgs 13:20-21).

The Science of the Voice and Heart in Scripture

1) The vagus (aka pneumogastric) nerve alone creates the voice and the emotions it conveys;[183]

2) “Our voice betrays our deepest feelings and our inner self;”[184]

3) The voice is “the imprint of the breath of life [sic];”[185]

4) The sounds received by the auditory nerves of the ear are transmitted to the brain at a speed of 40 m/s. The vagus nerve sends instructions to the vocal cords at a rate of 100 m/s;[186] and,

5) The vagus nerve interacts with the heart, blood vessels, and lungs.[187]

Biological Mystery #25-B

The Voice in Scripture

1). Christ went down into the depths of death so that “the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live” (Jn 5:25; cf. Mt 12:40; Rom 10:7; Eph 4:9). Jesus, “the Author of life,” by dying destroyed “him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and [delivered] all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage (Heb 2:14–15; cf. Acts 3:15.).”[190]

2). “The resurrection of all the dead, ‘of both the just and the unjust (Acts 24:15),’ will precede the Last Judgment. This will be ‘the hour when all who are in the tombs will hear [the Son of man’s] voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment (Jn 5:28–29.).’ ”[191]

3). “When [Jesus] had said this, he cried with a loud voice, ‘Laz′arus, come out’ ” (Jn 11:43).

Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice (Jn 5:25-28).

The Science Behind the Energetic Power of the Voice

Biological Mystery #26-A

The Holy Spirit, Sound, and The Biblical Parting of Waters

1) the activity of proteins produced by DNA;

2) the functioning of cell tissues;

3) the movement and orientation of cell populations;

4) the intensity of the immune response as a result of respiratory bursts within the human bloodstream; and,

5) the architecture of cell tissue. Some researchers believe that water splitting is necessary for generating electron excitation (EEE) that ‘feeds’ our biophotonic field.[207]

Biological Mystery #26B

Effect of Sound/Voice on Inorganic Matter

Biological Mystery #26-C

Effect of Sound / Voice on Non-Human Life

1) Rhythmic dominant music stimulates the body and may cause the release of endorphins and adrenalin;

2) Melodic dominant music connects to the mind and;

3) Harmonic dominant music opens up emotions.

Recent evidence supports the notion that naturally occurring and artificially generated sound waves contribute to plant robustness. New information is emerging about the responses of plants to sound and the associated downstream signaling pathways.  . . . There is accumulating information about plant responses to different wavelengths of sound and the responses of different plant species.[220]

Biological Mystery#26-D

Effect of Sound / Voice on the Human Person

1). Technology would be discovered to neutralize harmful nuclear radiation;[233]

2). The key to nuclear energy will be unlocked, allowing its reactions to be halted. Esperanza states, “This will come about with the sun and with the drive of magnetic forces of earthly energies [SML]: volcanic forces, wind, water [SML], certain kinds of seaweed because phosphorus will be better assimilated;”[234] and,

3). New inventions derived from secret forces hidden in the rhythms of nature.[235]

Ever since music has been used as therapy, people have suspected that acoustic vibrations have a direct or indirect influence on the human organism, but no scientific proof has ever been advanced. Indeed, there was not even a satisfactory theoretical approach. But with the work of Szent Gyorgyi and Herbert Frolich (both Nobel prize winners) and especially the recent work of Fritz Albert [Popp] on the biology of light and electromagnetic inter-cellular bio-communication, we know today that the nucleated cells, by the way of physical and vibratory configuration of its DNA, is capable of picking up, storing and broadcasting information… [And] demonstrated that cells communicate with one another, coherently, by exchange of photon quanta [light].[236]

Biological Mystery #27

Sound Waves in Scripture Increases Either Coherence or Disorder

A) the story of David playing his harp to soothe the melancholy of Saul and to drive out the evil spirits that tormented him [1 Sam 16:14-22];

B) the music and dance that was used to raise great and loud sounds of joy to the Lord [many examples in 1 Sam and 1 Chron];

C) all of the Scripture passages relating to the voice; and,

D) The requirements necessary for a Sacrament to be valid. Two things are required: Form and Matter. The matter is the materials used and the actions taken. The form is the audible words used to confect the Sacrament. The Sacrament is not valid without the precise audible words spoken through the medium of voice. The priest cannot merely think the words. He must vocalize them. According to the Modern Catholic Dictionary, “form is the sacramental sign or the words that specify the function of the matter and confer on it the power of sanctifying.” In other words, the voice is efficacious in conferring Sanctifying grace.

Biological Mystery #29

The Energy of Sound Waves Has a Dramatic Impact on the Intrauterine Child

³⁶ And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:

³⁷ Because no word shall be impossible with God.

³⁸ And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

³⁹ And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.

⁴⁰ And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.

⁴¹ And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy [Spirit]:          

And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert (Mk 1:11-12).

The Spirit who lives in the believer is not therefore inactive. He is power and action and is manifested as a presence and as a call towards the future.  . . . All the action of the Spirit in the faithful is in the form of a call.  . . . St Paul combines the two notions of call and grace.  . . . The presence of the Spirit is active like a call; God transforms the earthly man by call, by attraction towards fullness of being. Christ was the first to be called in this way, to be raised to life by the God who “brings the dead to life and calls into being what does not exist” (Rom 4:17).[240C]

I believe Mary’s mission was to act as a mediatrix of the Gratuitous graces necessary for John to successfully fulfill his “call” to be, as Isaiah prophesied, “A voice cries: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God’” (Is. 40:3). As you may recall, all ‘calls’ come from the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit always gives us the graces necessary to accomplish that to which we are called.

There are some, not including me, who believe Mary went to her cousin’s because she was afraid of what people might do when they found out she was an “unwed” mother. We already know Mary was full of the Holy Spirit (Lk 1:26, 35). When someone is “full” of the Spirit, their courage completely overcomes any fear their fallen biology may produce—including of death itself. Recall how the Apostles were so fearful after Jesus’ death they hid in a house. When the Holy Spirit descended upon them at Pentecost, they lost all fear and went out openly and publicly to preach the risen Christ.  . . . As a man called to be a preacher and a prophet, calling for repentance and for preparation for the coming of the kingdom of God, John (the future Baptist) would have had to have been given the graces necessary to accomplish his mission. He would need to have excellent language skills, good communication skills, and a fire in his heart to communicate his message—as was the case when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles at Pentecost.[240D]

1) The development of human potential;

2) The normal growth and maturation of the brain;

3) Language acquisition and development; and

4) The acquisition of appropriate social communication skills.

How important is a mother’s voice to an intrauterine child?

1). The fetus hears by at least four and a half months in utero.

2). Newborns prefer the voice of their mother over other voices.

3). More specifically, they prefer her intonation pattern.

4). Newborns prefer familiar stories and poems read by their mothers to non-familiar ones.

Water Molecules Participate in Altering the Function of Cells and the DNA Within Them

1). “He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal. His praise is not from men but from God” (Rom 2:29).

2). “For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation [only possible through Baptism]” (Gal 6:15).

In regard to the effects of Baptism, to which the properties of water correspond. For by reason of its moistness it cleanses; and hence it fittingly signifies and causes [emphasis SML] the cleansing from sins.[252]

Biological Mystery #31-B

The Body Communicates Change by Transmitting the Electromagnetic Signal Produced by Proteins Produced by Our DNA

Biological Mystery #32

Structured Biological Water Produces Light; Splits Hydrogen

1). “God has created the [spiritual] soul…so that [it] can guide with wisdom its vessel, the body. Through these basic powers, the soul accomplishes all its tasks in the organism in harmonious cooperation with the body.”[280]

2). “The body is the garment of the soul and it is the soul which gives life to the voice. That’s why the body must raise its voice in harmony with the soul for the praise of God.”[281]

Biological Mystery #32-B

Bio-Water’s Role in Expression & DNA / Protein Function

The DNA’s double helix never occurs in isolation; instead, its entire surface is always covered by water molecules which attach themselves with the help of hydrogen bonds.  . . .  “The precise DNA [double-helix] structure depends on the specific amount of water surrounding the molecule,” summarizes Dr. Fahmy.  . . . Oscillations of the water bonds in the hydration shell of the double helix can be excited by infrared light. The higher the frequency of the oscillation, the looser the hydrogen bond.  . . . “DNA is, thus, a responsive material,” explains Karim Fahmy. “By this, we refer to materials which react dynamically to varying conditions. The double helix structure, the strength of the hydrogen bonds, and even the DNA volume tend to change with higher water contents.”[286]

Biological Mystery #32-C

Water and Protons

1) electrons and protons are part of the atom;

2) electrons are the negatively charged sub-atomic particles that orbit the nucleus of the atom; and,

3) protons are the sub-atomic particles that give the atom’s nucleus its positive charge.

Biological Mystery #32-D

Structured Water’s Role in Cell Architecture and Function

1) structured water propels and guides protons throughout the body, which affects the function of enzymes (a type of protein), which in turn determines, in some part, whether our bio-water is fresh water or salt water.

2) the actual structuring of water molecules themselves affects the functioning of the cell and its contents (e.g., hormones), which, in turn, affect the “freshness” of our water.

Biological Mystery #33

The Cellular Biology of “Light Breathing” and Delayed Luminescence

Biological Mystery #33-B

Delayed Luminescence. The Biological Phenomenon of Light Breathing

1). The image is not a result of heating/burning;[324]

2). The image is not painted or printed;[325]

3). The thickness of the discoloration of the image is around 200 nanometers (one-fifth of a thousandth of a millimeter). This measurement corresponds to the thickness of a single cell wall on the side facing Jesus’ body;[326]

4). The color intensity of the image was directly proportional to the linen fiber’s distance from the body, thus providing three-dimensional information about the body contours;[327] and,

5). The image’s coloration resulted from an unknown process whereby the flax fibers or, more appropriately, the cells of the fibers underwent oxidation, dehydration, and conjugation in the structure of the cellulose of the linen. In other words, the coloration results from an advanced aging process.[328]

1) the galactan-enriched matrix of the cell wall of the flax;

2) its bands of electron-dense materials [331] (ripe for oxidation); and,

3) the potential for its conversion to an acid through cellular water-splitting (hydrolysis).

1) the radiation intensity from the living organism is several orders of magnitude weaker than a laser;

2) the degree of coherence of the radiation in the living organism is many orders higher than a technical laser; and

3) the radiation from the living organism is coherent over a range of wavelengths (polychromatic), while a laser is coherent in only one wavelength (monochromatic).[333]

Biological Mystery #34

The Science Behind Jesus’ Baptism in the Jordan

1) Was the effect localized to the Jordan, or did it spread to all waters in a fashion reminiscent of the Exodus account (Ex. 7:17-21) in which the waters of the Nile, through the power of the Holy Spirit, were changed to blood—a change that spread to all the waters of Egypt;

2) Did the change occur in all water, or just water blessed and used for baptizing; and,

3) Did the effects wear off, or will they last for all time?

ENDNOTES:

Journal Source: L. J. Gaydos, W. Wang, S. Strome.”H3K27me and PRC2 transmit a memory of repression across generations and during development.” Science, 2014; 345 (6203): 1515 DOI:10.1126/science.1255023.

It is called external (or exterior) grace because it is presented to a person from outside the intellect and will. External graces alone are not capable of sanctifying, but God often uses them as an occasion for giving internal Actual graces, which can be sanctifying. [Fr. John A. Hardon S.J., “History and Theology of Grace: Grace Considered Extensively,” The Real Presence Association, http://www.therealpresence.org/archives/Grace/Grace_002.htm#05: Inter Mirifica, 1998 (accessed 06/23/2014). An external Actual grace can be a person, place, or thing. There may be some confusion about the distinction between External Actual Grace and Gratuitous Grace.

A person who receives and acts upon a Gratuitous Grace becomes an instrument through which a different person receives an External Actual Grace. As the name implies, external grace occurs when the Holy Spirit works from the outside in, so to speak. Using external instruments experienced through our bodily organs, God causes an influx of Divine causation to inspire movement of the will or mind. Examples of these external instruments include the following: words somebody speaks, miracles, beautiful scenery, beautiful music, ideas communicated and heard, and events. [Hardon, “History and Theology of Grace: Actual Graces,” The Real Presence Association, http://www.therealpresence.org/archives/Grace/Grace_013.htm: therealpresence.org].

As St. Peter tells us, “Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins. Practice hospitality ungrudgingly to one another. As each has received a gift [of grace – SML], employ it for one another [as an Actual grace – SML], as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 4:8-11).

If I have done my job well, we have gained a better understanding of grace. This acquired understanding should enable us to understand the biblical meaning of the word mouth. When it comes to understanding man’s creation in the image and likeness of God, grace and the mouth go indispensably hand-in-hand.
