In ancient days, people of old would stare into the sky and believe
the sun to be a god, worshipping it for its life-giving qualities and
light. Today, science and medicine have shown the power of the sun is no
less spectacular. In fact, one of the only nutrients absolutely crucial
for health and well-being comes directly from absorption of the sun’s
vital rays. By taking in the life and light of that glorious ball of
fire in the sky, Vitamin D is directly assimilated into the body,
boosting immunity and activating higher awareness. One could say, given
all the amazing qualities attributed to adequate vitamin D intake, that
vitamin D is God’s vitamin.
If one lives out of the range of full-year exposure to the sun, it is
not uncommon to feel a little blue in the winter months when clouds
hang languidly over the source of vitamin D in the sky. Truly, the big D
could be considered God’s vitamin due to its ability to support health,
happiness, well-being and a long life. Humans do not produce vitamin D
without the vital light from the sun. A little deeper reflection on this
reality could bring one into the awareness that vitamin D is actually a
vitamin derived directly from light. It is a vibration, and a high
vibration at that. Without it, the human frame seems to suffer bouts of
moody depression and bodily ailments.
It seems as though people living on tropical islands and sun-soaked
climates are the happiest, most carefree people on the planet. There is
no accident that sunlight in high doses equals joy, uplifted spirits,
health and bliss – all qualities one could associate with a deity, when
experienced as the overriding emotions in a being.
Though called a vitamin, the famous D is actually a hormone precursor
and is necessary for nearly every vital function in the body, including
the regulation of cell division, proper insulin production and uptake
of calcium into the bones. It is also needed in the creation of other
hormones, including serotonin, which helps keep one happy.
If a person truly received an adequate quantity of vitamin D
naturally from the sun all the time, uninhibited by electromagnetic
frequencies, artificial light, environmental toxins and cultural
inhibitions, there is no telling what that human would be capable of.
Such a vision is congruent with what some might call “the wild
frontier,” as it is a rare person indeed who is living so free and under
the light of the sun as a constant companion these days. More common
and perhaps closer to that natural, “divine” existence are tribal
communities who work in the sun regularly and align themselves with the
cycles of nature through farming and hunting practices.
Vitamin D, when regularly absorbed, can, at the very least, make
someone feel holy and sanctified, if not right up there with the gods.
One thing is certain, a lack of it is no party, and cells can suffer
when deprived too often of this vital element gifted to earth by the
sun. So, when winter is blowing her frosted winds, it is important to
watch for those momentary cloud breaks, especially if one lives in more
overcast climates. Taking a few minutes in the golden rays of light
could be thought of as “sun-gathering” for moments when those beams are
not so easy to find. On any level, it bears remembering, a good dose of
sun may not make one a god overnight, but it will help the body perform
optimally and keep calcium pills from going to waste.
Ecclesiasticus 43:11 Look upon the rainbow, and bless him that made it: it is very beautiful in its brightness. It encompasseth the heaven about with the circle of its glory, the hands of the most High have displayed it.

"Breathing with Both Lungs" reveals the Truth about E=mc2

A Poem to Ponder...
Drawn and Quartered by Mike Rizzio
Four chambers, but one purpose, Four Gospels live to tell, A Sacred Heart, so wounded, A lance launched straight from hell.
Our brokenness, bloodletting, True Mystics judged insane, King Science, throne ascending, To deaden all our pain.
Four riders, on four horses, Steeds rearing for a treat, Our corpse, nears rigor mortis, For Art not Science meet.
But wait...a ray of His Glorious Sonshine...
One part—sacred theology, One part—mystic sight, One part—true science, One part—creative light.
...and if ever two lungs breathed forth, East-West, air that is sweet, Aloft they'll send His Body, Heartbeat, Heartbeat, Heartbeat.
