Introduction




Hi. "Paradisian" is my Spiritual name, which I started
using publicly when the website for the
Paradise Restoration Project was first put up
on the Internet in late '1995'.

"Paradisian" means "one who lives in Paradise".
(With quotation marks around it, it's my name;
without, it means Paradisian more generally).



I don't, really, yet...but the name
seems appropriate because I'm the only one
I know who really seems to be dedicated to Paradise
as the central concept of life....


You might like to know exactly how I got started on the Project.

It all really began for me on "March 20, 1990".

I was living homeless in Southern California, sleeping
on an old couch in front of the quaint little house
in back of the first (Dead-) head shop in California,
the shop that used to be called Heads & Highs or
Ye Heads & Highs Shoppe, then owned by
'Captain' Edwin Marsh Adair III,
someone that I still think of
with the highest respect today.

Captain Ed let me sleep behind the shop
on the couch, behind the store when I was homeless...
he let me play piano on the old 1900's upright converted
player piano in the psychedelic black light room in the
back of the shop, hang out on the couch, and get high.

In fact, I remember one day when I came into the shop,
in my usual way, strolled back to the blacklight room
to play, smoked my last bowl (I've since quit)
and went over to the piano. I gingerly played my first
note. Sounded different. I played a few more notes and
a chord, and... it sounded sweet. I played a whole
lot more joyfully, and... realised that someone had
tuned the piano. Then it dawned on me...
I went out of the blacklight room and over to Ed, who
was behind the counter, who had a particular knowing
grin on his face. He knew...
I said, "Ed!...."    "you tuned and fixed the piano,
didn't you?"  and all he did was smile and say,
"go play Rocky and Bullwinkle on it, play it!, play
some blues,.. or whatever you want to play, Piano Player!

I thanked him so much and then went back and roared into
the theme from Rocky and His Friends, then went into
hard core blues and played my heart out, then into
psychedelic improv... went back in, Ed was laughing
and dancing and encouraging.... I told him I'd pay him
back some way, and he said, "just keep playing!" so I did.
Boy, what a day.. to think, that in this concrete jungle
I was living in, someone actually cared about a little
homeless guy, a run-down lowdown dirty keyboard player
who for some reason was overlooked and needed a break.


Sometimes Ed would close and lock the doors to the shop
and he'd light up a bowl of the best green bud in the land,
passing it around several times to everyone in the shop,
playing some of the greatest music, carefully changing
records, and having the local Club Ed, right in the shop.

What a relief!

(Captain Ed died shortly after [August 1991] after
having been exposed to radiation after he and Wheels,
Psalm and T.C. ["Trash Captain"] all were protesting the
nuclear testing facility in Nevada... after I'd warned
them against it because I had a bad feeling that bad
things would happen if they went there.

Psalm, Wheels, TC and Captain Ed Adair, in clockwise order
      ~ courtesy Rolling Stone magazine, August 23, 1990 The shop has since reverted ownership to the "landlord" who now seems to be catering to new-age cyborg type people rather than mellow rainbow family people... it seems that since Ed passed onall of Ed's friends (including myself) have been banned from the store. At least they kept "Captain Ed" in the name of the store and the excellent murals showing the swirl of colours (the wall of colours by Larry Gore on the south side of the building, that) and the amazing mural including Captain Ed's image on the north side of the building.) That day, I was heading to the shop, hoping to find someone with some "pot" to relax me. I saw a guy there behind the shop that I'd seen before, dressed head to toe in tie-dye, and also working on the shop owner's enormous converted "army evac." bus. We all called him "Wheels", because he was always wearing roller skates, and because in the head shop owner's words, "You are Wheels, because you make everything go round", referring to his abilities as a mechanic and vegetarian savant. Wheels called himself "a healer of machines....including the human body". Those roller skates seemed to be actually attached to his body... I'd always seen him that way, including on the roof of the shop, on the ladder leading to the roof, on the rounded top of the bus.... rather unusual... Anyway, I asked him if he'd seen any "pot" around, and he said, "no pot", but.... he had something else very special. He told me that what he had is: "the Sacraments", "God in physical form", "the Elixir of Life", "the Alchemists' Elixir", "the Water of Life".... and that it was pure and clean, total "health food". He told me that it was made from only two things- seeds and distilled water. I'd heard of "Baby Hawaiian Woodrose", "Hawaiian Woodrose", and "Morning Glories" before, and asked him if those were the seeds he was talking about. He told me that yes, that's what it consisted of, a combination of "Heavenly Blue" morning glory seed eduction plus "Baby Hawaiian Woodrose" seed eduction. He said the combination of the two created a molecule 5-10 times as strong as either of the two eductions alone. I was hesitant to try it at first, but after His inspiredly -worded descriptions of its fabulous effects, I decided to get one. One small square of purple blotter paper, with neat perforations on all edges. He even ripped it into four separate pieces because He said it was so potent that I should go easy on it the first time. He told me that I should go somewhere natural like a park or someplace with lots of trees, and maybe bring some trail mix (pun intended?) for if I got the munchies. I went to a nearby community college where I knew there were lots of nice trees and flowers and space, and lockable piano practice rooms. I brought my stereo cassette deck and microphone, hoping to record some great inspired music and ideas during the experience. The first feelings I had were a sort of undefined warmth all around, and sort of feeling of weird apprehension and excitation very slowly building...this happened in about the first fifteen minutes. After about a half hour I started experiencing the solid acoustical material on the walls in the piano practice room moving and changing, covered in colour fringes and fascinating. I turned on the recorder at what seemed the appropriate moment and began to play. The most amazing, bizarrely beautiful music flowed from my hands as if I'd always known this haunting music, but had never actually played it until then. After about 20 minutes of intense playing, I just had to go out. Walking out into the hall, I really noticed for the first time that I could actually read people's thoughts directly, I could look into their heads and in the space around them and know exactly what they were thinking. It was as though they were transparent. I quickly became aware that some of these people knew that I knew exactly what they were thinking and that I seemed to possess supernatural powers, which scared them. I remember thinking that this must be the way they treated "witches" long ago.....the "witch hunters" were just afraid of nature, and of their own "human nature"... (they'd been "programmed" that way). Anyway, I went outside into the beautiful gardens and saw a tree, and......for the first time, I noticed....this tree was actually alive.... and was communicating with me directly, just like the people were just before. I'd never realised that plants were sentient, aware, intelligent (VERY intelligent!) beings, and not just seeds that automatically, mechanically, grow into plants. The tree told me not to worry, that it loved me, and that "this little community" of trees and plants and tame animals was a very efficient, friendly and cooperative one, and that it knew me better than I knew myself. I asked it to teach me what it knew, and it obliged me... It told me to do basically the same thing it did: know and have the Earth as my Mother, plant my roots deep into the soil, drink lots and lots of pure water, be totally patient, consistently clean and sticking to Nature's Plan. I asked what Nature's Plan was, and it said "Hey... look around here. .... Do you see anything to eat? Are there any fruit trees around??.. "Gee, why not?", I asked myself, as it was asking me!.... The answer came, that it would not please those "in power" to have free food growing, free shelter, free hot natural whirlpool baths..... they would not have a ("rip-off"), usurpers "business" anymore if people lived this way.... Why could they not see that they, too, could be living in this Paradisial way and not need to buy or sell, stress or worry??.... I flashed on all this, and then a little later as the effects of the "elixir" got stronger, I began to be aware of not only the plant life being truly alive, but also became aware of some sort of extra-terrestrial presence, upwards in the heavens. I tried to ponder what it was, but felt too confused to get a clear impression. The whole experience went on for about 20 hours and I finally came back to normal, feeling blissful, tired, enlightened, and renewed. It was just too darn bad that I had had to eat a cheesesteak sandwich before ingesting the "elixir"... I had become quite aware that something was "dead" wrong with having eaten meat..... About two days later, I saw "Wheels", and he asked me how it went. I told him all, and he seemed pleased. I asked him for some more of the elixir, which he gave me, and then he started telling me so many things that I began to feel just sort of overwhelmed and kind of stupid. "What do they teach them in these schools, anyway...?", he'd say.... I asked him again what that stuff was that I'd eaten, and he told me, "You're eatin' God"........ I didn't quite understand then, but I do now........ It seemed that he possessed the Truth as a certainty, rather than just as rote memory knowledge. I was fascinated with his esoteric knowledge and told him I wanted to be as healthy, quick-minded, and happy and snappy as him... He told me that the reason he was that way was largely due to having been a vegetarian for 9 years. He asked me what I had eaten that day, and after his grimaces and comments, he explained just exactly what was wrong with everything I'd eaten, what I should eat instead, and that I needed to have "a big meeting with the water".... meaning intensive pure-water "fasting" purification, external water therapies and herbs. I took His advice and got a room. I obtained a box of "Swiss Kriss" herbs, thiamine (B-1), B-complex, vitamin C, multivitamin and mineral complex, vitamin E, niacin (NOT niacinamide), garlic oil capsules, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (i.e. Sudafed or generic) to combat sinus congestion, acetaminophen (i.e. Tylenol or generic), and some raw brazil nuts and popped popcorn, salad greens, vegetable oil and lemon, sea salt, etc., to work up (away) slowly from "triple bacon cheeseburgers" and deep-fried-in-hydrogenated-oil french fries and the like, eventually to no food at all plus huge amounts of distilled water (2-5 gallons a day {!!}, gradually increasing) plus the herbs; fresh, tree-ripened, sweet white grapefruits from a local tree, and vitamins and store-bought "remedies"....., some of the good Sacraments, and a little cannabis flower to help me relax and sleep during the very stressful heavy cleansing process. I had also obtained a copy of "The Miracle of Fasting" by Paul and Patricia Bragg, a Holy Bible [Authorised King James Version] and my Allan Holdsworth (other-worldly guitar music) tapes. (Note: I don't actually recommend doing exactly what I did with the herbs and "remedies", one should use {tropical} fruit and water if they are available, not killed plants and chemicals, although that particular combination seemed to work very well at the time).... After about maybe two weeks of purification and the Sacraments, my body felt, looked and moved like I'd lost about 10 to 15 years in "age". I'd taken small amounts of the Sacraments every time I felt strong and ready for it, or when I felt I was strongly in need of "inspiration" to continue my all-important program. I was learning more and more about the Earth and its current condition of being destroyed... I actually saw the radiation coming off of plants like electrical discharges.....the unblocked sun coming through the giant "hole" in the ozone layer was letting so much radiation through on that Twelfth of May, Nineteen Hundred and Ninety, Anno Domini, in the "West Hills" area of the San Fernando Valley. (I later found out that this land was ancient {Chumash tribe?} native land). I felt like I knew the Earth was dying, for sure.... About two days before that Twelfth of May, I decided I felt strong enough to take six (full) doses of the Sacraments. Within about 15 minutes, I felt myself sort of psychically moving down, down into the genetic center of my body, and began to experience the most unusual audio-visuals. I was descending, backward genetically in time, down the vestigial corridors of life and time, of the physical Akashic Record of the entire line of protoplasm, from sperm and egg to sperm and egg, backward all the way back to single-celled reproduction, amoeba-like. I saw giant Trilobites running around all over me, and also realised that they had horribly poisonous stingers, and that their descendants are: horseshoe crabs, scorpions, and potato bugs, among others. I saw Pterydactyls flying and crowing, crying, in the sky, and realised that they were part mammal and part bird, and that their decendants are: bats, crows, vultures, hawks and eagles. I saw Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, and even the deadly predator, Tyrannosaurus Rex. The ground shook with the tremendous weight of their steps, and from continuous volcanic activity: "boiling pots", quicksand, lava flowing occasionally, the smell of sulphur and ammonia gases... what do you know, I thought... the archeologists were right!.... I also saw giant plants, enormous mushrooms, giant dragonflies, colourful insects..... colourful rocks, even... As I continued to float through the time-space freely, learning how to 'navigate' on the time-stream somewhat, I became overwhelmed by the awesomeness of it all and opened, then closed my eyes again. I was treated to the most real-fantastic tour of......what is it?.... "Oh, my God.... there's some sort of spirit entity of some kind... a benevolent, Earth-friendly extra-terrestrial, guiding me, and leading me to a time and place 'when Earth was in its heyday'", the 'voice' of the 'spirit(s)' said to me...... (I didn't 'see' anything of the 'extra-terrestrial 'spirit(s)', just sort of 'felt' their presence and communication). The Earth in this vision was in the most beautiful, lovely, pristine state I had ever witnessed,....at least in a long, long,... LONG time. The sky was so blue you couldn't create a paint or colour for an artist any bluer or better than that. Huge, gorgeously colourful birds flew freely through the open heavens. Waterfalls could be seen and heard both very near, and far away. The air was absolutely clear, and had glistening, microscopic drops of moisture in it, refracting the light into rainbows everywhere in the air. I was on a mountain plateau on some very sharp, jagged young mountains. I 'flew' over the cliff and looked down... It almost looked like the Grand Canyon, except that the water level was about 10 times as high at the bottom. In fact, I think maybe it was the Grand Canyon.... The next thing the "spirit(s)" did was say, "Wait! Wait a minute!.......you haven't even seen one of the best parts yet!... I'm going to give you a really special treat!... Hold on!". The "spirit(s)" took me beyond a hole in the galaxy to another place, a place of sanctuary, being kept timeless and pure so that only the "winners", the ones who followed the simple plan of Love; of simply living in the Gardens, would be able to live there if they wanted. We would have much lighter bodies that can move through space more by intention than by physical motion, I realised and/or was told. I was taken in spirit to another planet, just like ours was in its heyday, except with other plant life (exotic- looking, odd-coloured, yet exotically pretty things) and other birds and such.....including several life forms that had been completely extinct on planet Earth for a long long time..... I actually saw exotic pea-pheasants and became aware of Dodo birds walking peacefully around.... I guess they never needed to fly because food and nesting space was plentiful, and there was so much vegetarian food and also so much free space, that there were no carnivorous animals needed- no predators! Impressed enough already, the spirit took me to not one, not two, but maybe 5,6,7,... there was maybe an endless stream.... of other "new planets" (actually ancient ones being saved!-- it's just that they were in 'new' condition). I was also told that there was no way for Man to get to these places by ordinary physical means, because his heavy Earth-based technology could not pass through these barriers, no more than could his heavy, death- laden (meat, etc.) body pass through the galactic portals we call "black holes" unharmed and transformed, lightened , and energised, as they should. I thanked them (them?) for the fabulous journey, and suddenly realised that my physical body I was used to was still sitting there, somewhere, and that I had to come back through 'time' and 'space' and 'reality', to get back to my body. I did come back, rather quickly now, and woke from my dream state, still sitting up on the bed with legs gently crossed. A wave of intense emotion, of love and longing, for Paradise past, tore through me. I got so sad about Us all having lost this beautiful life, due to lack of experience, innocence, and willfulness, that I shed some very bitter tears, and then became bound and determined, that I'd absolutely do everything in my power (God-willing, I'm sure), to restore the Earth back to its Paradisial state. I actually promised my spirit guides, my "angels", as it were, that I would do this. They promised they'd help me every step of the way and that I needed to be 100% unwavering in my endeavours, to achieve it. I continued to have "visions", then went off to sleep, with a re-newed purpose in life. Ahhhhhh....... For the next few days, I'd continue to purify, rest, and prepare, for what was to be one of the greatest, most important and memorable experiences of my life ......"the Encounter".
The Encounter "May 12, 1990" I'd been purifying my body for about 10 days-the last five days I'd been drinking between 3 and 5 gallons of distilled water a day, gradually increasing. I knew somehow the day was going to be really special, maybe it was just how great I was feeling. I could feel rainbows of love/light/energy going through my whole body. I read some Scripture in Ezekiel about Ezekiel's encounter with Angels and was fascinated... By about 6:30 P.M. I decided to take 6 doses of the "elixir". Right after taking them, I felt like I should go outside... I felt like there'd be some sort of encounter with "them"... with some sort of star in the sky... It seemed as though I'd been receiving signals from them or something.... I went outside at this particular time when I felt 'the move' to do it. I looked up at the night sky, looking for the 'sign' I felt I would witness. I looked around and around, paying attention to every detail, knowing full well I was looking for a "star". I searched all over, and then a star towards the left of the sky-field caught my eye. It seemed alive. I watched it turning and turning, then it started moving toward the right. "Hey, stars don't move", I thought. Could it be a plane? I didn't think so!... It kept moving slowly towards the right, and then, when I least expected it, it suddenly darted down and to the right, at such a speed that it would have been totally impossible for it to have been an airplane or the like. I was dumbfounded. I checked the area of sky where I'd last seen it, and yep, for sure, it was completely gone! I was a bit overwhelmed by all this, and decided to go back inside to ponder what had just happened. "I guess I've just seen my first UFO!", I thought excitedly. "Gee, I don't really know what to do.... I think i should just stay here and continue to purify, and maybe I'll.... (message coming through from'somewhere") go outside a little later, when nobody's around, and try again"... I 'felt' that the real "Encounter" would occur then. I stayed, drank more pure water, and kept my mind open. At one particular point, I became aware of the idea that I hadn't had enough of the "elixir" to communicate with such higher intelligences as I was trying to. I looked down at my sheet of "doses" and decided to take another six.......Thinking better of it, I looked down at the sheet again, I "knew" the time was right to.... take all sixteen or seventeen that were left, also. Within fifteen minutes or less I was almost reeling from the intensity of it all, but very much in control due to the water, herbs and all, and my superior health. I had made up a sign saying "GOD" on one side, and with a large "+" drawn on the other side, for a target..... I thought that I might get "picked up" and taken out of this mess, this dying Earth. I went outside again, knowing very well that I would indeed have the "encounter" I was expecting. It was now around 2 A.M. I looked out into the night sky, and my attention was immediately caught by a bright "star", in almost the same spot as the last time. Again I was aware that it was turning or twirling, and that it was alive, though this time, that knowledge was a certainty. I kept observing the "star" and it seemed to take special notice of me! It seemed that it was not used to seeing someone with such a pure body, similar to those who existed long ago....and without the heavy radiation buildup from the unscreened sun, that everyone else was probably displaying in a reddish hue, but at that point my body was radiating a cool bluish colour, heat-light spectrum wise, most unusual considering the radiation levels of that day!. (must have been the Niacin running out radiation particles {--see documentation on Niacin and Dianazine compiled by L. Ron Hubbard}). At some point I became anxious to get a closer look/"look" at this wonderful glowing intelligent presence in the sky. I tried communicating with it by thought, saying, "I want you to come closer". "Please come closer". It responded by saying "If you want us to come closer, just turn off your mind....turn off your thoughts...It's them that are keeping you believing you've got a time/space and locality barrier... It's just your thoughts...turn off your thoughts....". I seemed quite capable of turning off my thoughts and perceiving directly, partially due to my body, brain and nerves being so hydrated with water so as to allow clean and easy flow of impulses through them, making it possible to not have any distractions from them... I quieted my thoughts............ The "star" seemed to immediately come friendlily closer. Every time I was able to quiet my thoughts, the "star" appeared to come closer, every moment I failed to quiet my thoughts, it appeared to stop coming closer. Finally I mastered this quieting of thoughts and perceived the "star" coming closer, and closer.... and closer................ I could see the "feet the colour of burnished brass", the "rainbow around the throne", the "fire infolding itself", "the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire", the "noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty..." , and I also perceived the "four faces", the "likeness of a man", "burning coals of fire" moving up and down in it. I perceived that it was emitting radio signals of some sort, due to some sort of high energy that appeared to me to be directly associated with the 'being(s)' that seemed to be operating it. It seemed more like a living illusion than a physical object. Except I knew that it was really real. My thoughts and its were clearly connected, when I'd think one thought, I'd see some sort of response from "them". When I'd think a different sort of thought, I'd get a different response from "them". It appeared also that whatever intention the 'being(s)' had in terms of motion of this "star" was followed in kind by the "star". ("Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went"). It occurred to me that what I was witnessing was exactly the same thing that the prophet Ezekiel witnessed thousands of years before........ At one point, I stared to perceive colour fringes around the outside, then the inside, brighter and brighter, closer and closer................. At some point, it appeared to shift and come over me until it was directly over me. It got still closer and closer until I realised that it was actually maybe 2-3 football fields in diameter, viewed from a relative distance of about maybe 1000 feet above me. What I witnessed above me was the most incredible sight/sound/experience I had ever had (or have had since). There was a huge swirling vortex of light, sound, electricity, life....swirling like spirals within spirals, in every possible colour of the spectrum. I became aware that every frequency was being produced by it, from the very bottom of the frequency spectrum (zero cycles per second) all the way through the audible portion (c. 10 cycles per second to 25,000 cycles per second), up through ultrasonic frequencies, up through the radio frequencies, through all the light frequencies,and up just to the edge of the x-ray, gamma ray and cosmic ray spectrum, quickly back to the bottom again, to start its spiral back upward again, in a continuous sweep. It appeared to be emitting something that I thought was ozone discharge (like the smell of the commutators in an electric motor sparking {perhaps it was also some sort of carbon exudation}), the faint smell of flowers or something like flowers, something similar to hydrogen peroxide, and plenty of magnetic energy... I could feel it all around me, sticking to my body like some kind of physical/life/sexual stimulant of some exotic sort. Within a few seconds, I experienced a tremendously sexual feeling which aroused my whole body, and I sort of fell hopelessly in 'love' with this (these?) beautiful being(s?). I stood there experiencing this amazing display, and my head seemed to flood with thoughts, that somehow by producing enough energy of the right kind (life energy), any body with life that was compatible with that energy could somehow energise itself beyond the point of its normal physical limitations, provided the right conditions (pure water and air, proper food etc.) were met. I asked it what it was and it told me, "I was once just like you, a man living on the Earth". "I evolved into what I am now as a matter of course, of proper destiny". I asked it how it got like that, and it told me, "I was alive long, long ago, in the Earth's heyday.... when the Earth was full and pure and bright, and good fruits and flowers grew in abundance (feelings of sadness) ....". "I followed all the steps my Nature showed me, by my desire.... I eventually consumed the very same "elixir" you've obviously consumed tonight, in greater and greater quantities, until...... it happened". See Daniel 12:3, "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." It asked me if I wished to "go with it now". I said I'd love to, but was scared and not ready yet. It answered that it already knew I wasn't ready, but had to ask, to give me a choice, and in case I really felt I was in danger of being left behind on the dying Earth. It called my attention to another being...no, actually beings, which appeared to me as sort of dark cirlces or patches that seemed to be woven gently and evenly into the 'fabric' of the spirals. It said "These are beings which were here on Earth in times past, when there was great and immediate danger in their midst. They were not fully ready for the transformation because evil humans had made it realtively impossible for them to get the water, fruit, flowers and 'elixir', that they needed to achieve the transformation properly and fully, and they were now sort of 'in limbo', waiting for the proper time (after the Great Tribulations on Earth are over and the new Golden Age begins {again}, at which time they would either stay in their 'in limbo' state if they preferred, or return to Paradisial existence on this or other 'Earths'). They were all waiting for this Earth, which they told me was the first or original Earth, to be regenerated first....'that (not) one of these little ones should perish'... or be destroyed by Man's blundering in the dark with no memory or awareness of cosmic experience"..... I checked out the 'vibes' of the 'dark beings', and found out that, sure enough, they were men and women that had lived here before, and they were sort of just enjoying being with this fully realised being (the 'star' or 'angel'), and also very overwhelmed by its power. I realised that this fully realised being (the vortex) actually was an Angel, the same sort that was seen by Ezekiel the prophet, and probably also the legendary "Lights of Fatima"....these (there were many, many more of them, it assured me) were the 'guardian angels' I'd always so hoped for, that they really existed.... faith leads to re-search which brings much good fruit. I asked it if it noticed the destruction of the planet and it said, "for quite some long time now. We've been observing without much direct knowledge of Earth people, from a distance, for thousands of years. We're much appalled, but not much surprised....We've seen it all before... there were several races of humans on this planet before the current one and it's been our happy duty and obligation right along to be the true stewards of the Earths and so on for a long time now, ever since our transformation. We had to assist the good beings in their fight against the evil, and even take them into protection, as you have seen. We have also had to replenish and regenerate the Earth every time it was damaged. We work very quickly (all this with full accompanying images). We've never lost it {"yet"}" (can't, won't!). (See the Holy Bible, Rotherham Version [the "Emphasized Bible" or "Restoration of Original Sacred Name Bible" [ P.O. Box 326, Ward, Arkansas 72176]), at Genesis 1:2 : "Now the earth had become waste and wild, and darkness was on the face of the roaring deep, but the Spirit of Elohim was brooding on the face of the waters.") [this great Bible translation is purportedly available currently through A. R. Meyer, Box 21427, Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada T8V 6W7 Price: $15. U.S. {e-mail: armeyer@hotmail.com}]. I asked the being(s) what I could do to remedy the situation and save the Earth and live out our true Destinies...It (they) said: "Go first to the tropical regions of the Earth (spiritually) and view the richest forested areas". I did this, and I saw great gardens, but then realised that they were endangered, there was oil drilling going on, slash-and-burn agriculture, mining, timber harvesting.....and that much of the original forests/jungles had been destroyed, creating lots of competition for food and much violence, poisonous secretions now coming from snakes and insects... but that there was also a great abundance of all the same fruits and flowers growing there that were necessary for excellent health and happiness, and to facilitate the "transformation"! "Get a large area of good land and claim it in the name (intent) of Good (God, the Great Spirit....) and then find and gather all those who are like you in that they are ready and willing to work together with you and Us in planting and taking care of all those fruit trees, flowers, streams, etc. Try to balance male and female energies....an approximately equal number of each. Search for the land and search carefully, far and wide, over the whole planet, to find these people. Bring the tame animals there that are endangered and can't get there by themselves (non-flying). Then proceed to live in Paradise, and live like we did. Make sure that the Gardens are a secure and inviolable Sanctuary as much as possible. That's all there is to it", it said. "Are you ready and willing to take the challenge?", it asked me. "Yes, absolutely", I told them. "I'll do all in my power to make this happen!".....Also I said, "Please help me in any and every way you can!" They (it) said, "You can count on that....just as long as you follow what You know now and live as close to a Paradisial existence as possible.... then you'll be pure and able to know and understand the Truth and you also will then be in the right places at the right time. We're backing you 100%.......and believe me, We can 'pull the right strings' here on Earth if you do all this". ("So shall it be at the end of the world; the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just." , "They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.", --[Matthew 13:49, Judges 5:20]). Very glad (just about ecstatic!), I thanked them so much, wished them well, and said a very fond, but somewhat sad goodbye. They said goodbye, too, and to remember that "We are always here.... even if you don't see Us!....don't ever give up faith or hope or work... don't let anyone or anything stand in your way. You're on THE mission now, start on your way, and fare thee well!!!" I watched as the vortex slowly lifted up again the way it came, and it again looked like a star, which moved on again in the same direction in which it went when it 'came closer to me'. Shortly afterward (seconds later) I saw a whole fleet of dull, amber coloured lights following the "star" as fast as they could.... evil beings. They just couldn't seem to get anywhere near it now matter how hard they tried...I realised it was the "government"'s imitation of the Angels... Numbers 24:15 through 19). I saw these menacing lights then 'looking' at me, with a feeling of great hatred, like a spoiled-sport little child that had been beaten at a game of marbles or something....promising (at a safe distance, knowing full well I was protected by the Angels) to stop me....if only they could... I was astounded,amazed, glad, sad, renewed, with a new and grand purpose in life...I'd finally realised what my True Calling was....to restore the Earth 'back' to its Paradisial state and live there forever with all the good, gentle, nature-attuned beings until.... such time as I/We be transformed ourselves.
The Work I began getting my life in order immediately, the next day after the "encounter". (I was evicted from the room I was staying in there, on some false pretenses and with some violence-- It seemed the "bad guys" were trying to beat me down)... The first thing I did after getting all my private affairs in order was to find out where the nearest rainforest was. After asking around and asking my good friend "Wheels", He told me that the nearest large rainforest was in Washington State, usA, and that there was also a smaller one in (in-)famous Humboldt County, California. I discovered that Washington state was extremely cold, and that the rainforest there was so far from food, that I wouldn't be able to live there. I chose Humboldt County. I took the bus up there, not knowing where to stop. The rainforest there was also too far from "civilization" to get food. I wound up stopping at Arcata, California...the town seemed to be deserted and old fashioned....people were walking right down the middle of the street! Gradually I found Humboldt State University.. I learned how to study Geography, Immigration, Geology, Agronomy, Pomology....... finally deciding that the easiest and perhaps most important subject to study first was Pomology (fruit-culture). I began assembling a huge list of fruits that were edible raw, from "Sturtevant's Edible Plants of the World". My list was enormous, with some 2,000-plus species entries. I matched these with the Latin botanical names used in the "New York Botanical Garden's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Horticulture", which is probably still the best single encyclopedia of its type, and photocopied all the cultivation and plant information and photos from the encyclopedia .....until I had gone through the entire encyclopedia of 10 volumes!. I had a huge tome of something like 875 pages... Then I began looking for better climates, better places to live... and The Land which was to be used for the Gardens. Everyone and everything seemed to be indicating Hawai'i. One day I was looking at the ad board at the local food co-op, looking for transportation so I could go to Rainbow Gatherings, Grateful Dead shows, fairs and festivals, etc. and spread the word with some sort of flyer I would make up. I saw an ad for a Chevy van for sale for $350. It said that the guy was selling everything he had to move to Hawai'i. I thought that was interesting for both reasons, and went to look for the guy. Sure enough, he was there, and we hung out, discussed the van. Turns out he'd been going to Gatherings and following the Dead and doing all the things I wanted to, all up and down the West Coast. He said he had done and seen it all, and was tired of it. He said he'd been over to Mau'i many times, and finally decided that he found where he wanted to be. After eating my first mango (yum!!!!) and feeling great, and hearing all about the fabulous fruits, flowers, fresh air, sights.... I finally bought my ticket! I decided on Kaua'i at first because it was known as "the Garden Island". I was a bit overwhelmed when I got off the plane and made it down the walkway at Honolulu Airport, past the beautiful tropical gardens they planted there....the air was so thick, and present, and humid and warm... but everything around me was so beautiful and clear and bright and colourful. Finally making it to Kaua'i, I was greeted by the astounding beauty of that island. I ate fruit off of trees, hunted for morning glories, and just enjoyed the wonderful warm weather. It was "July" of "1992". I wandered around alot and had no place to stay. I decided to take a trip up to the famous Kalalau Valley to go and live there, if I liked it. On the way I heard too many horror stories about "government" helicopters flying over where these people were living in Kalalau, landing somehow, and coming in and arresting the alleged "trespassers", stealing their possessions, destroying their camping gear, and throwing them in jail. Earlier, on the road from Lihue to Poipu Beach, I saw many Egrets that had been brought from the Pacific Northwest on the side of the road and looked on in shock and disgust. They had been run over by over-zealous beach bums hurrying to the beach, completely oblivious of their surroundings, their home. Beer cans, fast-food trash and cigarette packages were also laying all over the sides of the road.... I guess those who drink cases of beer, smoke cigarettes and eat junk food are the same ones who kill Egrets and destroy their planet. I guess "if they knew better, they'd do better", just like all of us. On the road to Kalalau Valley, I had to make a stop in Princeville. I needed to make a phone call outsie of Foodland supermarket. Within seconds, I saw a white-haired guy with white Bermuda shorts and white tennis shoes (oh, so pure!....) come up behind me while I was on the telephone and give me the "evil eye".... like his call was much more important than mine. I told him politely that I'd gotten there first, and he'd just have to wait his turn. Angered, he told me if I didn't get off the phone right then he was "going to kick my f_____g ass". I immediately hung up the phone and dialed 911, got the police on the phone (loudly) and told them a guy had just threatened my life. They guy left, scared and frustrated....! After getting stuck in the rain in Princeville, and hearing a couple more horror stories about Kalalau (one guy had his brand-new Alvarez $300.-plus guitar stolen), I reluctantly set back to Koloa town. Tired and frustrated, I made my way back home to Humboldt, my photocopied book in hand.... Back home again, I asked the people who had told me about Hawai'i in the first place, which island I should go to if I ever went back.... It seemed that the consensus was that the Big Island of Hawai'i (Hawai'i Island, the 'Big Island') was the best place to be. Back and forth I went to the Big Island, liking it more and more each time I went. I found if I stuck to my Paradisial lifestyle to the best of my ability and circumstances, I would always find it pleasant and friendly. I continued to put 10 hours of research a day into the many subjects which were all necessary to study for the best and most complete comprehension of what it would take to restore (even any adequate portion of) the Earth to its Paradisial state: Agriculture, Agronomy, Botany, Common Law, Geography, Geology, Modern Law, Natural History, Natural Health, Natural Hygiene, paradise, Religions of the World.....on and on and on... One of the things I encountered in my sojourn on the Big Island was the fairly large amount of information indicating that the Big Island was the place to be in the time of the 'Great Tribulation', that it would be the place of a large musical gathering, and also the place where We would grow fruit and live on fruit, love and all the good things provided for Us in Paradise, in peace. I had run into a man who made bamboo flutes, who looked like what I thought Moses would look like, who always carried around a 1611 Edition King James Bible. We got into an involved discussion about the "End Times". He showed me that everything in the Bible seemed to indicate that the Big Island is the place for Us to be in the "End Times": "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.", "In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Is-rael.", "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.", "Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain...", "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it". The tallest mountain in the world is actually the Big Island, measured from its lowest point in the ocean to the top of Mauna Kea's peak: 31,996 feet total, compared with Mount Everest at 29,108 feet, extending only to sea level. It is true that from the highest peak on Agrihan Island in the Northern Mariana Islands in the North Pacific Ocean is higher measured from the ocean level it descends to, but it is so small and sharp and jagged, that there is no way that "a great multitude" could assemble there.... Mount Everest is certainly too cold for most people, and no place to grow tropical fruit. It can also be easily theorized that Man probably originated in the tropics, because that is the only place where such a lush garden could grow. The people of the Seychelles Islands just east of Africa hold to the legend that the "Valle de Mai" on Praslin Island, which contains the only known grove of "Coco de Mer" (Lodoicea Maldivica) palms, which have the largest seeds of any plant growing on the Earth, is the last remnant of the 'original, Biblical Garden of Eden'. If one checks the maps, one will see that the Tigris, Euphrates, Gihon, and Pishon rivers can still be seen as undersea features beginning at the southeastern end of the "Fertile Crescent", and continuing straight on to the Seychelles Islands. Also very noteworthy is that fact that the Seychelles Islands are perfectly centered in the tropics. Besides, if God said "Let there be light" in the beginning, wouldn't it make sense that the Garden of Eden would be where the light shone the brightest? At one point I decided I needed to take care of some personal affairs back in California. I did. More research was needed on Common and Modern Law. I had been told by many in the "patriot" movement that it was not possible to even "buy" land at all, that "dollar bills" were nothing more than "promissory notes" (Federal Reserve Notes), and that 'title deeds' were little more than worthless paper, conveying nothing, the State ("government") still holding true "allodial" title. ("allodial" means "not holden of any superior, free", and also implies full mineral rights). I checked out this bit of info and it appears to be true, (except in Hawai'i) based on the definitions of these words found in Black's Law Dictionary, 6th (current) edition. I checked into the matter further and it also appears that before 1848, ("The Great Mahele" or land division) all land in the Hawai'ian Islands was administered by the King, via lesser chiefs [Ali'i and Konohiki]) and only after pressure from international merchants, immigrants, and the Native Hawai'ian people who had been influenced by the immigrants, the King [Kamaehameha III] granted Royal Patents and Awards through the Board of Commissioners to Quiet Land Titles ("The Land Commission"), for the purpose of settling disputes regarding traditional land usage and immigrants' rights. The land in Hawai'i has never been owned by anyone, just "titled" to those who put to 'good use' the land they posessed (posessory rights) and who could prove their claims via demonstrating good use of the land via testimony(ies) given in Land Commission hearings. (See "The Great Mahele" by Jon S. Chinen, University of Hawai'i Press, 1958- still in print as of this writing).
About the search for land for the Project At this point, I've come to the conclusion that the only way to get the land needed for the first Paradise Gardens sanctuary is to make actual entry onto lands in abeyance and put the lands to good use by creating and maintaining Paradise Gardens. People just haven't seemed to be ready for this sharing, kind, natural way of living enough yet to deed land or contribute "money" to basically buy encumberances off of "titled" land so We can then claim proper possessory title under Hawaiian Kingdom/Common/International Law. Right now the purported "State of Hawaii" "government" claims 'custodial title' to tens of thousands of acres of good land on the Big Island alone. Pursuant to the common law doctrines of "good use" and "nihil dicit" ("says nothing" in Latin- means that in the absence of proper claims to the contrary, another's action goes [for the time] unchallenged and therefore "stands" ["lies" the word used), anyone with a valid and verifiable claim to putting the claimed land to good use [i.e. through cultivation], having actual and constructive possession of the land, has a far superiour estate in the lands than one claiming title and not in actual, constructive possession of the land. (Even according to the municipal law of the "State of Hawaii", the Hawaii Administrative rules ("HAR") regarding the Conservation District [HAR, TITLE 13, DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES, SUBTITLE 1; ADMINISTRATION, CHAPTER 5; CONSERVATION DISTRICT], in SUBCHAPTER 1, GENERAL PROVISIONS, sec. 13-5-1, "Purpose.", it states that: "The purpose of this chapter is to regulate land use in the conservation district...." The term "land use" is defined at section 13-5-2, "Definitions.": "Land use" means: (1) The placement or erection of any solid material on land....(2) The...removing, harvesting,...or extraction of any material or natural resource on land;..... For purposes of this chapter, harvesting and removing does not include ....the gathering of natural resources for...non-commercial use..." Also, the part regarding "placement of erection of any solid material on land" is limited by the definition given for "land" in section 13-5-2: ""Land" means all real property....and all interests therein... unless otherwise expressly provided". The "State of Hawaii" claims it got title to these lands in the first place via transfer from the "Republic of Hawaii" "government", which claimed it got its authority and right to title from the "Organic Act" of 1898, which claimed it got its authority from the alleged annexation of Hawaii to the United States in 1898, which never happened, because annexation can only happen by exchange of treaty, not by a Joint Resolution. Joint Resolutions, enacted by the United States Congress, are "municipal law", not "international law", and can have no legal effect in the Hawaiian Islands, which is outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States (of America). That joint resolution is a municipal "Public Law" of the United States and can have no force in the Hawaiian Islands, a recognized "Most Favoured Nation" recognized internationally as a constitutional monarchy, which still has active treaties with 26 countries worldwide. This "Joint Resolution of Annexation, July 7, 1898 (U.S. Statutes at Large 30:750-751) which claimed its authority from the alleged willing surrender of sovereignty of the Queen of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States' military force, which claimed its authority to act based on nothing more than a "Proclamation of the Committee of Safety, January 17, 1893", which was made by a self-declared fictitious entity, in total violation of the provisions of the "Most Favored Nation" Treaty entered into with the United States on December 20, 1849 and ratified by both nations at Honolulu, O'ahu, on August 24, 1850. Article I of the Treaty of 1849 provides that there "...shall be perpetual peace and amity between the United States and the King of the Hawaiian Islands, his heirs and his successors". Article VIII of the treaty provides that "...each of the two contracting parties engages that the citizens or subjects of the other residing in their respective States shall enjoy their property and personal security in as full and ample manner as their own citizens or subjects, or the subjects or citizens of the most favored nation, but always subject to the laws and statutes of the two countries, respectively." ("Residing" "in" a "State" refers to the political question of nationality and loyalty, not to geographical boundaries ....two people can be standing side by side, within the same \ geographical boundaries,... one of them is a Hawaiian subject and subject to the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the other a foreign national subject to the laws of the municipality (in this case, the purported "State of Hawaii" and the corporate "United States"), via expressed intent of loyalty to whichever nation or municpality applies. This intent can also be expressed by signing various documents, lack of action ["nihil dicit" again] to affirm loyalty to one nation and not to another). Article XVI of the 1850 treaty provides that any "citizen or subject of either party infringing the articles of this treaty shall be held responsible for the same, and the harmony and good correspondence between the two governments shall not be interrupted thereby, each party engaging in no way to protect the offender, or sanction such violation." Because the lands have been so usurped by those unlawfully occupying the Hawaiian Islands (Hawai'i Nei), it has become necessary to fully map out the lands in Hawai'i that are large enough in size to become locations for Paradise Gardens Sanctuaries, religious Sanctuaries for Good and Lawful people of the Paradisian faith.
On edible fruit and the Paradisial life We have already culled the names of the best, most delicious, nutritious, medicinal and useful fruit-bearing plants from a comprehensive list of more than 1,200 total edible-raw fruit-bearing species of plants, a total of c. 400 species, of approximately 800 tropical species of edible fruit. (These are listed in Cornucopia: A Source List of Plants and Seeds, Volume 1", by Stephen Facciola. A must have book. Available from Kampong Publications, 1870 Sunrise Drive, Vista, California, USA 92084. The second edition is now available, and can be ordered at discount from Amazon.com. These are one-of-a-kind Paradisial resource books listing sources of seed and plants for every species and variety listed within them). (Also see the "Paradise Restoration Project Available Seed and Plant Material List", containing cross-referenced names of plants, with classification notes regarding flavour, nutritional properties, edible qualities, and medicinal properties of some 1,243 species of edible fruit-bearing plants, referenced to page numbers in the first edition of "Cornucopia"). Available soon on 3.5" or 5.25" floppy disks, zipped or unzipped). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Most "fruitarian" diets have more or less failed for many people because of one or more of the following: 1. Mis-definition of the word "fruitarian", by including nuts, roots, seeds, grains, and other non-fruitarian items in the definition of "fruit"... "Fruitarian" means eating only the edible, fleshy, nutritious and non-sprouted, non-growing part of the fruit. Botanically speaking, the fruit is the part of the plant bearing seed. Many, many seeds contain toxins (perhaps all of them do!) to prevent them being eaten, so that the (plant) species can continue to propagate itself--some seeds even contain deadly substances such as the amygdalin in peach pits, regular and Hunza apricot pits, plum and cherry pits, white sapote pits, apple seeds, pear seeds..... Amygdalin plus water equals hydrocyanic acid....another word for Cyanide!!!! (go research this yourself if you don't believe me... Another word for Amygdalin is "Laetrile"!!--this has been promoted as a cancer cure, of all things...just shows you how wrong one can be in this field!) 2. Lack of fruit variety (there are several thousand species of fruit, in more than fifteen thousand varieties!) 3. Fruit that is picked early so it won't be so soft that is damaged when bringing it to market and to insure a long 'shelf life' (another one of the evils of commerce), which means that the fruit will not have received anywhere near the amount of nutrients, water, sunshine, and such, which makes for good health and good eating 4. Fruit that is grown in poor soil, whether due to lack of knowledge on the part of either 'organic' growers or conventional growers 5. Fruit that has been used by various cultures in its unripe or "green" state, with the harvesters/merchants claiming that it is "ripe" in that condition 6. Fruit that has been picked immaturely and then "post-ripened" using ethylene and other gases- "ripe" may not mean "mature". 7. Fruit that has been "post-treated". Examples: paraffin wax and shellac on apples, tomatoes, peppers, squashes, cucumbers, pears, and other fruits- reduces assimilability of the fruit by clogging intestinal tract with undigestible petroleum-based wax on conventionally grown fruits, or beeswax added to "organically grown" fruits!!! - (Check this out, it's the truth!) 8. Fruit that has been grown from cuttings of a plant, which 'strains' the genetic capacity to reproduce "true" to the original plant, resulting in malformities in the fruit, and poor or altered composition of the fruit resulting from the "cloning" process (that's why cloned cultivars are often called "strains") 9. (Unnatural) hybridization (cross-breeding) of fruit species, which can weaken the Natural genetics of a plant , resulting again in poor nutritional values (and also often preventing seeds from hybrid plants from breeding "true" to the original plant) 10. The stresses involved in waiting in line at a market, while every sort of commercial advertisement, the impatience of customers and cashiers, subliminal messages coming over the sound system, security personnel with badges, nightsticks and bad attitudes (these are the ones they seem to hire most, or these are the ones that get into the "security" business most), parking, packaging, de-packaging (removing all those damned bags and boxes, labels, price stickers and so on), all using valuable energy, robbing Our bodies of more nutrients through stress, stealing Our time, "money", self-confidence and self- and Earth- reliance. "If you want something done right......do it yourself (ourselves)!!" It is imperative for those who wish to live in the highest state of health and happiness, to acquire Our own land (preferably with others of like intentions), and grow Our own Naturally Grown fruits and other necessaries of life. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The Paradise Restoration Project A multi-lifetime effort of the few, the proud.......the Paradisians!!! "many are called, but few are chosen, just as many are called and few are choosin'" -- (modified quote from "Wheels") So choose righteously........before it's too late. Choose Paradise, Forever!!!!! The Paradise Restoration Project has been initiated, is sponsored, and shall be maintained by members of the Church of Paradise, (unincorporated), the True Church of God and God's people, heretofore thusly unnamed in the records and documents of men, its name given by Inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God; the Comforter; the Spirit of Truth. Membership is by Divine Selection of Those who are born 'of water and the Spirit' of God, and not for those who are born only of the flesh...... "ye shall know them by their fruits" (products, fruits...). We use the Holy Scriptures to call to memory the Truths which We live by, to remind ourselves of our Heritage of immortality in Paradise. (See John 5:39- "Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life...."). This means that not all of the "canonised" organised scriptures making up the current 66- or 79- sub-book Book of the 'Holy Bible' are true, pure and inspired of God, and also that there are (many?) other Scriptures testifying of God's Truth of Paradisianism. These include: (partial list; to be appended as We learn more): "The Essene Gospel of Jesus the Christ", translated by Edmond Bordeaux Szekeley, especially volumes 1 and 4 containing the actual and highly inspired words of Jesus the Christ on the subjects of diet, health, and Spiritual healing; "The Legend of Saint Issa" [published in the book "The Secret Life of Jesus the Essene", translated by Raymond Barnard]; the ancient Sumerian legend concerning 'Dilmun': the Sumerian Paradise, Zoroastrian "Pairidaeza" (where we get our English word "Paradise"), the Mahayana Buddhist Paradise called 'Sukhavati', the Islamic and also Jewish paradise known as "Janna", the Hindu idea of the Krtayuga or Satyayuga age where "the Dharma is observed totally and spontaneously", the island Paradise of Greek legend known as "The Isles of the Blessed" ("Paradeisos"), to name a few of the doubtlessly countless legends and sacred Scriptures describing Paradise. We have been relying primarily on the Judaeo-Christian Holy Bible and the Essene Scriptures herein mentioned, because they contain more of the Truth of the Paradisian Faith than any other sacred Scriptures and also because they are the easiest to obtain, in almost any country of the world. The Holy Bible is printed and available in many translations and is available in some 1,700 different languages as well. Much thanks goes to Mircea Eliade, Editor-In-Chief of the "The Encylopedia of Religion" and to the great researchers and writers who contributed to the voluminous job of compliling and producing this great work. (Available from Macmillan Publishing Company, 866 Third Avenue, New York, New York, USA, 10022. Copyright 1987. LC 86-5432, ISBN 0-02-909480-1, available in the Reference section of most public libraries). For those studying the Holy Bible, we recommend obtaining a copy of the "Authorised King James Version" (from the 1611 edition), not the "New King James Version", and not the unauthorised "King James Version", which appears in such books as the "Scofield King James Version Study Bible". Still more accurate is the "Gospel of the Holy Twelve" which is a direct transliteration of the uncensored manuscripts that the modern, 'canonised' 'Holy Bible' is based on. Available from the Essene Church of Christ, c/o Rev. Abba Nazariah, 45 N. 3rd Street, Creswell, Oregon, USA 97426. It is found in their Essene Catalog, $15. plus $1. shipping, spiral bound, and partially, for free online: Gospel of the Holy Twelve Also excellent is the "Restoration of Original Sacred Name Bible" mentioned earlier, which is based on the "Emphasized Bible" translated by James Rotherham. These are probably the closest in meaning and syntax to the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic texts that are commonly available in Bible a nd regular bookstores. The only version I've ever seen which contains the correctly translated 'Biblical Apocrypha' is the 1611 Edition King James Bible, available directly from Thomas Nelson Publishers or discounted from Amazon.com. [ISBN 0-8407-0041-5, Thomas Nelson item number 0301] This (year 1769) 'Authorized King James' translation is thought by many to be the best and most up to date linguistically, and can be easily obtained for free by contacting your local Salvation Army church, Seventh-Day Adventist church, or your local Gideon Society. It is important to note at this point that many people throughout the ages have referred to Jesus of Nazareth's disciples as "Christians". (See Acts 22:26: "...And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch"). If one searches the scriptures as Jesus recommended, it can be shown that He only refers to Himself as "son of man", (capitalisation of the "s" in "son" added by the scribes) God didn't call God's people "Christians", some of the people did. ("And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all {men}, as every man had need". [Acts 3:44,45]. This and many other historical writings about God's people show that in order to do Good and prosper, it was necessary to live in Paradise, eat freely only from the trees of the garden, and share all things common and help one another. That is a perfect description of Paradisians, yesterday and today. So We call God's people "Paradisians" instead, based on over 6,000 years of historical fact of God's People. (Note: Anyone desiring more proof of the genuineness of the "Essene Gospel of Peace of Jesus the Christ" should read "The Discovery of the Essene Gospel of Peace, by Edmond Bordeaux Szekeley, which documents His discovery and translation of the Essene Gospel of Peace).
